Article Synopsis
- Estimating the age of acute ischemic brain lesions is crucial for managing strokes effectively, and the best current method involves measuring the Relative Intensity of brain lesions using non-contrast CT scans.
- A new convolutional neural network-based model (CNN-R) was developed to improve lesion age estimation, trained on actual time from onset to scan and validated with extensive external datasets.
- The CNN-R model demonstrated significantly better accuracy in predicting lesion age and understanding early lesion growth compared to traditional methods, making it a valuable tool for stroke diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- The NHS in Britain is increasingly focused on understanding patient experience due to policy failures and media scrutiny, relying mainly on satisfaction surveys for data.
- The study utilized existential phenomenology to gather in-depth narratives from 12 participants, highlighting aspects of patient experience that satisfaction surveys can't capture.
- Key themes from the interviews included feelings of uncertainty, suffering, the ineffectiveness of feedback, and a sense of vulnerability during hospital admissions, showcasing how individual personalities influence responses to illness and hospital care.
This article will critically explore the concept of planetary health and locate the role and identity of the mental health nurse (MHN) within it. Like humans, our planet thrives in optimum conditions, finding the delicate balance between health and ill-health. Human activity is now negatively impacting the homeostasis of the planet and this imbalance creates external stressors that adversely impact upon human physical and mental health at the cellular level.

In 2013 the Francis Report on the Mid-Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust was published. The Report highlighted the full range of organisational failures in a Trust that valued financial efficiency over patient care.
