Exploring the barriers and enablers to the standardized and routine use of patient-rated outcomes for clients presenting with hand injuries at an Australian public hospital.

Background: The utilization of standardized patient-rated outcome measures (PROMs) by hand therapists is essential to evaluate treatment and clinical outcomes and underpins evidence-based and patient-centered practice. However, research indicates that the routine use of PROMs is inconsistent in clinical practice.

Purpose: To explore the barriers and enablers experienced by hand therapists in the routine use of standardized and valid PROMs.

A psychometric evaluation of the Indonesian version of the collaborative practice assessment tool (CPAT) for assessing interprofessional education and collaborative practice among health practitioners and students.

Research focus has transitioned from interprofessional collaborative practice among qualified health practitioners to the involvement of pre-qualifying students in practicing interprofessional education. It is essential to establish outcome measures to enhance the seamless integration of interprofessional education and collaborative practice. The aim of this study was to develop a culturally appropriate quality measure for assessing interprofessional education and collaborative practice for health practitioners and students in Indonesia by performing cross-cultural validation of the collaborative practice assessment tool (CPAT).

Cone Beam Online Adaptive Radiation Therapy: A Promising Approach for Gastric Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma?

Purpose: Daily online adaptive radiation therapy (oART) opens the opportunity to treat gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma with a reduced margin. This study reports our early experience of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based daily oART treating gastric MALT lymphoma with breath-hold and reduced margins.

Methods And Materials: Ten patients were treated on a CBCT-based oART system.

Hyperleukocytosis in a neuroblastoma patient after treatment with natural killer T cells expressing a GD2-specific chimeric antigen receptor and IL-15.

The ability of immune cells to expand numerically after infusion distinguishes adoptive immunotherapies from traditional drugs, providing unique therapeutic advantages as well as the potential for unmanageable toxicities. Here, we describe a case of lethal hyperleukocytosis in a patient with neuroblastoma treated on phase 1 clinical trial (NCT03294954) with autologous natural killer T cells (NKTs) expressing a GD2-specific chimeric antigen receptor and cytokine interleukin 15 (GD2-CAR.15).

Effect of bed clay on surface water-wave reconstruction from ripples.

Wave ripples can provide valuable information on their formative hydrodynamic conditions in past subaqueous environments by inverting dimension predictors. However, these inversions do not usually take the mixed non-cohesive/cohesive nature of sediment beds into account. Recent experiments involving sand-kaolinite mixtures have demonstrated that wave-ripple dimensions and the threshold of motion are affected by bed clay content.
