Patient portals are secure online platforms that offer patients access to various functions such as personal health information. While patient portals are being increasingly offered by health services, there are limited data on their use for persons living with home mechanical ventilation (HMV) and/or long-term tracheostomy. This study, conducted at an Australian hospital's home mechanical ventilation and long-term tracheostomy services, aimed to explore the perspectives and attitudes of patients and carers regarding the introduction of a patient portal.

O-GlcNAcylation was identified in the 1980s by Torres and Hart and modifies thousands of cellular proteins, yet the regulatory role of O-GlcNAc is still poorly understood compared to the abundance of mechanistic information known for other cycling post-translational modifications like phosphorylation. Many challenges are associated with studying O-GlcNAcylation and are tied to the technical hurdles with analysis by mass spectrometry. Over the years, many research groups have developed important methods to study O-GlcNAcylation revealing its role in the cell, and this perspective aims to review the challenges and innovations around O-GlcNAc research and chronicle the work by Donald F.
