Usability Testing of the PACE-App to Support Family Caregivers in Managing Pain for People With Dementia.

Background And Objectives: Pain management is often suboptimal in individuals with dementia, and their family caregivers are tasked with supporting pain management despite limited preparation. The web-based PACE-app (PAin Control Enhancement) was designed to assist caregivers in managing pain for individuals with dementia. This study aimed to evaluate the usability of the PACE-app.

A Retrospective Review of Men Referred to a Dedicated Erectile Dysfunction Clinic in Secondary Care.

Background and objectives Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a multifactorial disease associated with many medical co-morbidities and risk factors commonly encountered in primary care. Initial management includes lifestyle changes and the treatment of any identifiable conditions. Guidelines exist recommending the assessment and management of sufferers with clear indications for referral to secondary care.

Does MRI Have a Role in the Preoperative Staging of Penile Cancer?

Background Penile cancer is a rare malignancy usually requiring surgery to achieve oncological control of the primary tumour but often at the expense of functional length. The presenting stage of the primary is a crucial factor in determining the most appropriate surgical procedure. Accurate preoperative staging is essential, and current modalities include clinical and radiological assessment.

Pilot study of a group clinical supervision model for medical students.

Objective: To trial a clinical supervision model with medical students, co-designed by students and clinicians, and evaluate its feasibility, acceptability, and perceived benefits.

Method: Two clinical supervision groups, one online and one face-to-face, were conducted for six one-hour sessions, over 12 weeks. Clinical supervision was evaluated through mixed methods including attendance levels, focus groups, and quantitative surveys.

Optical characterization of isothermal spin state switching in an Fe(II) spin crossover molecular and polymer ferroelectric bilayer.

Using optical characterization, it is evident that the spin state of the spin crossover molecular complex [Fe{HB(pz)}(bipy)] (pz = tris(pyrazol-1-1y)-borohydride, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) depends on the electric polarization of the adjacent polymer ferroelectric polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) thin film. The role of the PVDF-HFP thin film is significant but complex. The UV-Vis spectroscopy measurements reveals that room temperature switching of the electronic structure of [Fe{HB(pz)}(bipy)] molecules in bilayers of PVDF-HFP/[Fe{HB(pz)}(bipy)] occurs as a function of ferroelectric polarization.
