Tuning Viscoelasticity of Dynamic Covalent Hydrogels for Human Tissue Modeling

ABSTRACT The development of three‐dimensional (3D) in vitro tissue culture models is critical for biomedical research. Hydrogel‐based systems have become preferred scaffolds for 3D models, as they have tunable viscoelastic properties, which are well‐known to influence cell morpho...

Full Plate Living Evaluation and Case Series

Dietary interventions can improve cardiometabolic health, however, affordability, sustainability, and efficacy remain a challenge. Full Plate Living (FPL) is a free, virtual, research-based, experience-centered nutrition program that has been shown to improve health. Here, we des...

Prolonged treatment-free remission after venetoclax in combination with a hypomethylating agent in acute myeloid leukemia with inv(16)

Core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML)—defined by t(8;21) or inv(16) chromosomal rearrangements—is classified as favorable-risk disease per the European LeukemiaNet 2022 risk model and is typically treated with intensive chemotherapy. Patients unsuitable for intensi...

Optimizing Informed Consent for Australian Newborn Bloodspot Screening and Research: Consensus Workshop Insights and Recommendations

Informed consent is fundamental to Australian newborn bloodspot screening (NBS), but emerging genomic screening technologies pose new challenges to clinical care and research. Optimizing consent processes is necessary to support ethical practice and maintain public trust as NBS e...

Prevalence, Incidence and Mortality of Chronic Kidney Disease in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes—A Nationwide Danish Register‐Based Cohort Study

ABSTRACT Aims Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a leading complication of diabetes, and understanding population‐level trends is crucial for prevention and healthcare planning. We examined national trends in CKD prevalence, incidence, and mortality among people with diabetes....

Watson's Caring Science-Based Interventions in Holistic Nursing and Health Care: A Scoping Review of Patient Satisfaction and Clinical Outcomes

PurposeTo map and summarize the literature on Watson's Caring Science Theory-based interventions in relation to patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. Watson's Caring Science Theory provides a foundational framework for relational and holistic nursing care, yet evidence on p...

Trends in the Utilization of Two-Stage Versus Three-Stage Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis Among Privately Insured Patients With Ulcerative Colitis in the USA, 2007 to 2023

BACKGROUND: Ileal pouch anal anastomosis can be performed via 2- and 3-stage techniques, with similar short- and long-term clinical outcomes. 2-stage ileal pouch anal anastomosis became the predominant approach in the 2000s; whether this trend has continued remains unknown. OBJEC...

Survey Authentication Challenges During a Geriatrics Knowledge Assessment Pilot

ABSTRACT Background In this methodological Brief Report, we describe a multi‐institutional survey authentication challenge encountered during pilot deployment of the Age‐Friendly Knowledge Assessment Tool (AF‐KAT), a geriatrics knowledge assessment for graduating medical students...

Congenital heart disease in pregnancy and severe maternal morbidity: A distributed data network study

Abstract Introduction Pregnant people with congenital heart disease (CHD) are a growing patient population in obstetrics, yet evidence on the risk for severe maternal morbidity (SMM) has largely been limited to studies that lack specificity for CHD. We conducted this study to dem...
