Purpose: Women with breast cancer face a high degree of uncertainty. Trust between health providers and patients has been shown to improve patient quality of life and may enhance clinical outcomes. This study aimed to explore the meaning of trust along the treatment pathway.

- Effective interprofessional teamwork is essential for high-quality patient care, particularly in emergency medicine, yet traditional education methods often fall short in promoting collaboration among healthcare disciplines.
- The study developed a virtual reality (VR)-based interprofessional training course focused on neurological emergencies, aiming to assess its acceptance, learning outcomes, and feasibility for nursing and medical students.
- Results indicated good usability, with students reporting high levels of perceived usefulness and ease of use, alongside a significant improvement in their handover performance after participating in the training.
Systems vaccinology studies have been used to build computational models that predict individual vaccine responses and identify the factors contributing to differences in outcome. Comparing such models is challenging due to variability in study designs. To address this, we established a community resource to compare models predicting booster responses and generate experimental data for the explicit purpose of model evaluation.

- Inadequate collaboration in healthcare can result in medical errors, making interdisciplinary teamwork training crucial, and virtual reality (VR) simulations offer a cost-effective solution for such training.
- The study involved 42 medical and nursing students participating in a VR-based scenario, where their performance was evaluated using the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM), which showed high reliability and internal consistency.
- Results indicated that the TEAM tool is a reliable and valid way to assess team dynamics in VR training, emphasizing its potential to enhance medical education and improve interdisciplinary assessments in various learning contexts.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare dysphagia rates and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after long-segment anterior (ACF) versus posterior (PCF) cervical spinal fusion, assessing patients at 3 and 12 months post-surgery.
- - A total of 132 patients were analyzed, showing similar dysphagia rates and severity for both ACF and PCF procedures over time, though patients with PCF experienced worse neck disability scores at the 3-month mark.
- - The results indicate that while both types of surgery had similar dysphagia rates, those with dysphagia reported lower quality of life scores, suggesting that long-term issues may stem from structural changes related to the surgery itself.
