General practice utilisation by Australian cancer patients in the last year of life.

Objectives: General practice plays a key role in end-of-life care, yet the extent of this remains largely unknown due to a lack of detailed clinical data. This study aims to describe the care provided by General Practitioners (GPs) for people with cancer in their last year of life.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study using linked routine primary care and death certificate data in Victoria, Australia.

Single-session combination treatment with intense pulsed light and nonablative fractional photothermolysis: a split-face study.

Background: Intense pulsed light (IPL) and fractional photothermolysis (FP) are effective nonablative treatments for photoaging.

Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of administering these two treatments in the same session with the aim of maximizing results while maintaining safety and minimizing downtime. We sought to compare the efficacy of the combination treatment with that of individual treatments of IPL and FP by conducting a split-face study.
