The current understanding of precision medicine and personalised medicine in selected research disciplines: study protocol of a systematic concept analysis.

Introduction: The terms 'precision medicine' and 'personalised medicine' have become key terms in health-related research and in science-related public communication. However, the application of these two concepts and their interpretation in various disciplines are heterogeneous, which also affects research translation and public awareness. This leads to confusion regarding the use and distinction of the two concepts.

Rapid, non-contact multifocal visual assessment in multiple sclerosis.

Objective: Previous work on temporally sparse multifocal methods suggests that the results are correlated with disability and progression in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Here, we assess the diagnostic power of three cortically mediated sparse multifocal pupillographic objective perimetry (mfPOP) methods that quantified response-delay and light-sensitivity at up to 44 regions of both visual fields concurrently.

Methods: One high-spatial-resolution mfPOP method, P129, and two rapid medium-resolution methods, W12 and W20, were tested on 44 PwMS and controls.

'It struck at the heart of who I thought I was': A meta-synthesis of the qualitative literature examining the experiences of people with multiple sclerosis.

Background: People with multiple sclerosis (MS) have varied experiences and approaches to self-management. This review aimed to explore the experiences of people with MS, and consider the implications of these experiences for clinical practice and research.

Methods: A meta-synthesis of the qualitative literature examining experiences of people with MS was conducted using systematic searches of ProQuest, PubMed, CINAHL and PsycINFO.
