Introduction: Checkpoint inhibitors are increasingly important in anti-cancer treatment. Therefore, knowledge of immune-related cutaneous adverse events (ir-cAE) is crucial for therapy management and continuation.
Objective: The study aimed to analyze the incidence of cutaneous adverse events caused by checkpoint inhibitor therapy, including their clinical presentation, management, and impact on further treatment.
Article Synopsis
- Perioperative care demands skilled health professionals, and Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) in Anesthesia can enhance this care through expanded competencies and roles.
- A scoping review analyzed literature from the last decade to clarify the scope of practice (SOP) and prerequisites for APN Anesthesia, revealing a lack of standardization across countries.
- The review highlighted the certified registered nurse anesthetist in the U.S. as the most developed role, emphasizing their autonomy and diverse practice settings, including postoperative care and specialized medical conditions.
is a gram-positive coccus bacterium with a previously underestimated prevalence due to morphological similarities to other gram-positive cocci. Development of newer diagnostic technologies (such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry MALDI-TOF) led to increased recognition of as causative organism mainly for urinary tract infections. Its antibiotic susceptibility poses some challenges, with resistance to some drugs of choice for urinary tract infection.

In Switzerland, little is known about hospitalists' perception of their communication with PCPs. The primary objective was to assess hospitalists' satisfaction with their communication with PCPs.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: This scoping review aims to explore the current state of encounter notification systems (ENS) between emergency departments (EDs) and primary care providers (PCPs), focusing on their mechanisms, effectiveness, impacts, and challenges in healthcare settings.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar to identify relevant literature on ENS between EDs and PCPs. Eligible studies were selected based on predefined criteria, and data were synthesized narratively.
