The effect of illness uncertainty and self-efficacy on the perception of shared decision-making among parents of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Background: Shared decision-making is essential for improving infant prognoses. Medical staff should consider the effect of illness uncertainty and self-efficacy on parents' perceptions of shared decision-making.

Aims: This study examined the impact of illness uncertainty and self-efficacy on the perception of shared decision-making among parents of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Low-Grade Papillary Schneiderian Carcinoma in the Nasal Cavity.

Only a limited number of documented low-grade papillary Schneiderian carcinoma (LGPSC) cases have been reported since its initial description in 2015. In this study, the authors present a case report involving a young female patient who presented with this rare condition localized in the nasal cavity. On the basis of histologic examination of a small tumor sample, the initial diagnosis pointed to squamous cell carcinoma.

Lymphatic endothelial cell RXRα is critical for 9-cis-retinoic acid-mediated lymphangiogenesis and prevention of secondary lymphedema.

Secondary lymphedema is a debilitating disease characterized by abnormal soft tissue swelling and caused by lymphatic system dysfunction. Despite a high prevalence of secondary lymphedema after cancer treatments, current management is supportive and there are no approved therapeutic agents that can thwart disease progression. We have previously demonstrated that 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cisRA) has the potential to be repurposed for lymphedema as it mitigates disease by promoting lymphangiogenesis at the site of lymphatic injury.
