Tumor Progression

Tumor Progression

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Accelerators

Accelerators

Accelerators in concrete serve as admixtures to speed up the hardening process, enabling the concrete to achieve early strength faster. Although accelerators do not necessarily impact the time it takes concrete to set, they reduce this time in practice. A common accelerator is calcium chloride, which is particularly useful for hastening early strength development in cold weather or for rapid repair jobs that require quick heat generation after mixing.
The effectiveness of calcium chloride can...

Average Acceleration

Average Acceleration

The importance of understanding acceleration spans our day-to-day experiences, as well as the vast reaches of outer space and the tiny world of subatomic physics. In everyday conversation, to accelerate means to speed up. For instance, we are familiar with the acceleration of our car; the harder we apply our foot to the gas pedal, the faster we accelerate. The greater the acceleration, the greater the change in velocity over a given time. Acceleration is widely seen in experimental physics. In...

Instantaneous Acceleration

Instantaneous Acceleration

Acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity, but it is not always in the direction of motion. When an object slows down, its acceleration is opposite to the direction of its motion. Although commonly referred to as deceleration, this causes confusion in our analysis as deceleration is not a vector, and does not point to a specific direction with respect to a coordinate system. Therefore, the term deceleration is not used. For example, when a subway train slows down, it...

Acceleration Vectors

Acceleration Vectors

In everyday conversation, accelerating means speeding up. Acceleration is a vector in the same direction as the change in velocity, Δv, therefore the greater the acceleration, the greater the change in velocity over a given time. Since velocity is a vector, it can change in magnitude, direction, or both. Thus acceleration is a change in speed or direction, or both. For example, if a runner traveling at 10 km/h due east slows to a stop, reverses direction, and continues their run at 10 km/h...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Healthcare Workforce Development
Academic Progression Models

Background:

The Institute of Medicine's Future of Nursing report (2011) advocated for enhanced nurse education and training.
Evidence indicates that a higher proportion of Registered Nurses (RNs) with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) improves patient outcomes.
Significant funding and support from foundations like Robert Wood Johnson and AARP have driven initiatives to advance this recommendation.

Purpose of the Study:

To illustrate recommended next steps for accelerating progress toward national academic progression goals for nurses.
To present a new academic progression model developed by community colleges and universities.
To project the impact of proposed changes on the percentage of BSN-prepared RNs in the workforce by 2025.

Main Methods:

Development of strategic partnerships between community colleges and universities.
Creation of tools and models to address challenges in academic progression.
Utilization of a projection tool (Spetz, 2018) to forecast future workforce preparation levels.

Main Results:

A new academic progression model allows community college RN students to obtain a BSN.
Implementation of proposed changes could accelerate the attainment of BSN-prepared RNs to 83.9% by 2025.
Current progress predicts only 64% of RNs will have BSN preparation by 2025 without intervention.

Conclusions:

Accelerating progress requires targeted support for nursing education capacity at all levels.
Addressing faculty shortages, promoting diversity, and considering economic factors are crucial for success.
The proposed strategic action plan is essential for advancing the goal of a BSN-prepared nursing workforce.
