Article Synopsis
- skIMIDs involve immune-mediated diseases that can affect skin and other organs, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary care to improve patient and healthcare practitioner (HCP) experiences.
- There is a lack of clarity on how patients and HCPs perceive and measure their experiences with this type of care, despite its importance for treatment outcomes and satisfaction levels.
- A review of 21 studies showed mixed results, with some reporting positive experiences with tailored IC models, while broader geographic studies indicated lower satisfaction levels, emphasizing the need for standardized measurement tools to better understand these experiences.
Article Synopsis
- A EULAR task force developed guidelines for educating young patients with juvenile-onset rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases about managing physical activity and pain during their transition from pediatric to adult healthcare.
- They formulated two overarching principles highlighting the need for personalized care and seven points to consider, emphasizing the importance of patient education for a smoother transition.
- The guidelines are backed by moderate to weak levels of evidence and are intended to standardize care in Europe while encouraging further research and policy development in this area.
To investigate the effect of a fermented soy supplement during 18 months in patients under active surveillance (AS) for low-risk and selected favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa), with an emphasis on PSA modulation. Low-risk patients with ISUP grade 1, clinical stage cT1 or cT2a, PSA < 10 ng/mL and favorable intermediate-risk patients with ISUP grade 2 (<10% pattern 4), clinical stage T2b-c, PSA 10-20 ng/mL. The primary outcome was PSA response defined as maximum PSA rise less than or equal to 0.

Distinguishing subpopulations within which cardiometabolic risk diverges from the risk expected for a given body mass index (BMI) may facilitate precision prevention of cardiometabolic diseases. Accordingly, we performed unsupervised clustering in four European population-based cohorts (N ≈ 173,000).
