Mashup Score: 7Top Ten Tips Palliative Care Clinicians Should Know About Attending to the Existential Experience | Journal of Palliative Medicine - 2 month(s) ago
Identifying and attending to the existential needs of persons with serious illness and their care partners are integral to whole-person palliative care (PC). Yet, many PC clinicians, due to individual factors and wider systemic barriers, are ill-prepared and under-resourced to navigate the existential dimension. In this article, written from clinical, research, and lived experiences, we offer tips to empower PC clinicians to understand, recognize, and respond to patients’ and care partners’ existential experiences by leveraging their existing skills, collaborating closely with colleagues, exploring their own existential experience, and implementing evidence-based interventions. We propose that by prioritizing existential care within PC, we can shift the culture of health care to better affirm the humanity of both patients and clinicians.

Mashup Score: 16What Is Medical Extended Reality? A Taxonomy Defining the Current Breadth and Depth of an Evolving Field | Journal of Medical Extended Reality - 2 month(s) ago
Medical extended reality (MXR) has emerged as a dynamic field at the intersection of health care and immersive technology, encompassing virtual, augmented, and mixed reality applications across a wide range of medical disciplines. Despite its rapid growth and recognition by regulatory bodies, the field lacks a standardized taxonomy to categorize its diverse research and applications. This American Medical Extended Reality Association guideline, authored by the editorial board of the Journal of Medical Extended Reality, introduces a comprehensive taxonomy for MXR, developed through a multidisciplinary and international collaboration of experts. The guideline seeks to standardize terminology, categorize existing work, and provide a structured framework for future research and development in MXR. An international and multidisciplinary panel of experts was convened, selected based on publication track record, contributions to MXR, and other objective measures. Through an iterative process,

Mashup Score: 0Telehealth-Delivered Allied Health Interventions: A Rapid Umbrella Review of Systematic Reviews | Telemedicine and e-Health - 2 month(s) ago
Introduction: Telehealth is used by allied health professionals to deliver health care remotely. This umbrella review addressed the following questions: (1) What telehealth interventions have been implemented to deliver allied health care? (2) What are the reported clinical benefits, and challenges of the implementation of telehealth delivered allied health interventions? (3) What are the reported experiences of patients and clinicians? Methods: A rapid umbrella systematic review method was utilized. Following a search of five electronic databases, only systematic reviews reporting on telehealth-delivery allied health interventions published in the past 10 years were included. Reported outcomes included clinical effectiveness, implementation factors, and patient/clinician experiences. Methodological quality was established using the A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews 2. Results: After applying eligibility criteria to 571 studies, 26 studies were included. Findings indicate

Background: Surgical correction is the main line of treatment for the congenital disorder Hirschsprung’s disease (HD). Laparoscopic techniques proved their safety and efficacy in previous studies. LigaSure™ is the gold standard for colorectal dissection. However, other sealing methods could be used during the unavailability of LigaSure. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the safety profile of the hook diathermy technique compared to LigaSure in colorectal dissection during laparoscopic-assisted pull-through for HD. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was held in the pediatric surgery department at Assiut University Hospitals between September 2017 and January 2023. The study included 57 HD patients who were surgically operated on during a laparoscopic-assisted pull-through. They were divided into 2 groups according to the sealing methods: the ligasure group included 25 patients, and the hook diathermy group included 32 patients. Results: Both groups had no statistically sig

To validate the intracranial pressure (ICP) dose-response visualization plot for the first time in a novel prospectively collected pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) data set from the multi-center multi-national KidsBrainIT consortium. Prospectively collected minute-by-minute ICP and mean arterial blood pressure time series of 104 pTBI patients were categorized in ICP intensity-duration episodes. These episodes were correlated with the 6-month Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) and displayed in a color-coded ICP dose-response plot. The influence of cerebrovascular reactivity and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) were investigated. The generated ICP dose-response plot on the novel data set was similar to the previously published pediatric plot. This study confirmed that higher ICP episodes were tolerated for a shorter duration of time, with an approximately exponential decay curve delineating the positive and negative association zones. ICP above 20 mmHg for any duration in time was assoc

Mashup Score: 9“It Gives Me Peace of Mind So I Can Focus on Healing”: Views on Advance Care Planning for Older Surgical Patients | Journal of Palliative Medicine - 2 month(s) ago
Introduction: The period of time before an elective operation may be an opportune time to engage older adults in advance care planning (ACP). Past interventions have not been readily incorporated into surgical workflows leaving a need for ACP tools that are generalizable, easy to implement, and effective. Design: This is a qualitative study. Setting and Subjects: Older adults with a history of cancer and a recent major operation were recruited through their surgical oncologist at a tertiary medical center in the United States. Interviews were conducted to determine how to adapt the validated PrepareForYourCare.org ACP program with electronic health record prompts for the perioperative setting and openness to introducing ACP during a presurgical visit. We used qualitative content analysis to determine themes. Results: Eight themes were identified: (1) ACP as static and private, (2) people expected a prompt, (3) family trusted to do the “right” thing, (4) lack of relationship or comfort
