Study finds a distinct shift in method of nurse suicides
In a new study, University of California San Diego School of Medicine and UC San Diego Health researchers report that the rate of firearm use by female nurses who die by suicide increased between 2014 to 2017. Published December 21, 2020 in the journal
Nursing Forum, the study examined more than 2,000 nurse suicides that occurred in the United States from 2003 to 2017 and found a distinct shift from using pharmacological poisoning to firearms, beginning in 2014.
As part of the longitudinal study, researchers looked at data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s National Violent Death Reporting System dataset.

Novel 3D maps show how genes interact in several types of immune cells
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how our small genetic differences can have a tremendous effect on how our bodies respond to disease.
The difference is within us. We can get infected by the same bacteria or viruses, but the ways our diseases progress can be very different.

Genetic variations are important, but there s more to the puzzle. To truly understand how genes affect health, researchers need to track down the switches (also called enhancers ) that control when and where a gene is expressed in the body.

As part of the longitudinal study, researchers looked at data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s National Violent Death Reporting System dataset. In past research, we determined opioids or other medications were more commonly used as the suicidal method in female nurses, said senior author Judy Davidson, DNP, RN, research scientist at UC San Diego. From those findings, there was a possibility that there might be a change in the way nurses die by suicide over time. Now that we ve look
