Interventions for Family Caregivers of Patients Receiving Palliative/Hospice Care at Home: A Scoping Review.

There is a need for understanding the breadth of interventions for caregivers of individuals receiving hospice care at home, given the important role caregivers play in caring and the negative outcomes (e.g., depression) associated with their caregiving.

Cypin binds to tubulin heterodimers and microtubule protofilaments and regulates microtubule spacing in developing hippocampal neurons.

Cytosolic PSD-95 interactor (cypin) is a multifunctional, guanine deaminase that plays a major role in shaping the morphology of the dendritic arbor of hippocampal and cortical neurons. Cypin catalyzes the Zn-dependent deamination of guanine to xanthine, which is then metabolized to uric acid by xanthine oxidase. Cypin binds to tubulin heterodimers via its carboxyl terminal region (amino acids (aa) 350-454), which contains a collapsin response mediator protein (CRMP) homology domain (aa 350-403).

Hospice Composition Based on Diagnosis is Associated with Caregiver-Reported Quality Measures.

Given that the composition of hospice patients' terminal diagnoses has become increasingly diverse, understanding whether hospices provide quality care to patients, regardless of disease, is important. However, data comparing diagnosis and caregiver-reported outcomes remain scarce. To analyze the association between the composition of patients' terminal diagnoses and caregiver-reported quality measures.

Weaning Dexmedetomidine in Non-ICU Areas: An Implementation Effort.

Setting: Quaternary care academic free-standing pediatric hospital.

Recurrence of Breast Cancer After Primary Treatment: A Matched Comparison Study of Disease-Free Survival in Women Who Do and Do Not Receive Adjunctive Naturopathic Oncology Care.

Purpose: To compare disease free survival experienced by women who received usual oncologic care compared to a cohort of women who received naturopathic oncology care in addition to usual care.

Methods: Women with breast cancer who received naturopathic oncology (NO) care in Western Washington State (WA) (N = 176) were recruited to a prospective study of clinical health-related quality of life outcomes and then matched to women who received usual care (UC) only (N = 334).

Results: Among 510 women with breast cancer stages 1 to 3, a total of 50 women (10%) experienced a disease-free survival (DFS) ending event within the observation period; 23 (6.
