Background: Research shows a decline in physical activity (PA) in women during the menopause transition (MT). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore experiences of the MT in Irish women and how it impacts motivators, facilitators, and barriers to PA engagement.

Methods: Twelve Irish women (age: 49 ± 4 years) who were in the MT participated in individual, online, semi-structured interviews.

To determine whether the availability of a cytopathology-confirming diagnosis is correlated with the prognostic accuracy of a gene expression profiling assay. A single-center retrospective review was performed of patients diagnosed with uveal melanoma who had a fine-needle aspiration biopsy and gene expression profiling before proton therapy from 2012 to 2020. The development of metastases was compared in patients with gene expression profiling and cytopathology (gene expression profiling+cytopathology group) and patients with gene expression profiling only (gene expression profiling only group).

Background: Hemoglobin SC (HbSC) is a common sickle hemoglobinopathy that causes acute complications, chronic organ damage, and early death with no established disease-modifying treatment. In this trial, we examined the safety and efficacy of hydroxyurea treatment in patients with HbSC.

Methods: Prospective Identification of Variables as Outcomes for Treatment (PIVOT) was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, non-inferiority phase 2 trial in which we assigned children and adults with HbSC in Ghana to 12 months of hydroxyurea or placebo.

Objectives: Refine the administrative data definition of sepsis in hospitalized patients, including less severe cases.

Design And Setting: For each of 1928 infection and 108 organ dysfunction codes used in Canadian hospital abstracts, experts reached consensus on the likelihood that it could relate to sepsis. We developed a new algorithm, called AlgorithmL, that requires at least one infection and one organ dysfunction code adjudicated as likely or very likely to be related to sepsis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to analyze how self-regulation is understood and utilized within occupational therapy literature, spanning from 2000 to mid-2023.
  • Using systematic review methods, 4,159 articles were screened, resulting in the inclusion of 64 studies that provided insights into the concept of self-regulation.
  • Content analysis identified five key constructs related to self-regulation, highlighting inconsistencies in how these concepts are defined and measured in occupational therapy practices.
