Immediate improvement in patient care: Auditing adherence to the British Society for Haematology guidelines on screening and management of the long-term consequences of multiple myeloma and treatment.

Advances in myeloma have resulted in improved prognosis for patients. However complications of the disease and treatment, pose a risk of specific long-term consequences. An audit tool was adapted to assess adherence to the British Society for Haematology guidelines for screening and management of long-term myeloma consequences.

Infection Prevention and Control Response and Escalation Framework: Evaluation and application beyond a pandemic.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in constant changes to Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) recommendations, impacting clinician capacity to stay up to date. The COVID-19 IPAC Response and Escalation Framework (IPAC Framework), rarely reported or evaluated was developed to provide scalable IPAC guidance during the pandemic to health care in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

Methods: Using a thematic analysis approach, a qualitative study using an online, cross-sectional survey comprising 27 questions was sent to 248 key stakeholders.

Relationship between Blood Pressure and Rates of Glaucomatous Visual Field Progression: The Vascular Imaging in Glaucoma Study.

Purpose: To examine the relationship between systemic arterial blood pressure (BP) and the rate of change in standard automated perimetry (SAP) in eyes with glaucoma and suspected glaucoma.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Participants: One hundred twenty-four eyes (91 eyes with glaucoma, 33 eyes with suspected glaucoma) of 64 patients (mean age, 68.

A Hybrid Deep Learning Classification of Perimetric Glaucoma Using Peripapillary Nerve Fiber Layer Reflectance and Other OCT Parameters from Three Anatomy Regions.

PrÉcis: A hybrid deep-learning model combines NFL reflectance and other OCT parameters to improve glaucoma diagnosis.

Objective: To investigate if a deep learning model could be used combine nerve fiber layer (NFL) reflectance and other OCT parameters for glaucoma diagnosis.

Patients And Methods: This is a prospective observational study where of 106 normal subjects and 164 perimetric glaucoma (PG) patients.

Health professional attitudes and perceptions of prehabilitation and nutrition before haematopoietic cell transplantation.

Background: Nutritional prehabilitation may improve haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes, although little evidence exists. The present study aimed to understand healthcare professional (HCP) perceptions of prehabilitation and nutritional care pre-HCT in UK centres.

Methods: An anonymous online survey (developed and refined via content experts and piloting) was administered via email to multidisciplinary HCPs in 39 UK adult centres, between July 2021 and June 2022.

The Development of a Multi-Modal Cancer Rehabilitation (Including Prehabilitation) Service in Sheffield, UK: Designing the Active Together Service.

Cancer patients undergoing major interventions face numerous challenges, including the adverse effects of cancer and the side effects of treatment. Cancer rehabilitation is vital in ensuring cancer patients have the support they need to maximise treatment outcomes and minimise treatment-related side effects and symptoms. The Active Together service is a multi-modal rehabilitation service designed to address critical support gaps for cancer patients.

International consensus is needed on a core outcome set to advance the evidence of best practice in cancer prehabilitation services and research.

Prehabilitation aims to optimise patients' physical and psychological status before treatment. The types of outcomes measured to assess the impact of prehabilitation interventions vary across clinical research and service evaluation, limiting the ability to compare between studies and services and to pool data. An international workshop involving academic and clinical experts in cancer prehabilitation was convened in May 2022 at Sheffield Hallam University's Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre, England.

Phytoplankton assemblage responses to nitrogen following COVID-19 stay-in-place orders in western Long Island Sound (New York/Connecticut).

This study evaluated water quality, nitrogen (N), and phytoplankton assemblage linkages along the western Long Island Sound (USA) shoreline (Nov. 2020-Dec. 2021) following COVID-19 stay-in-place (SIP) orders through monthly surveys and N-addition bioassays.

Cancer survivor late-effects, chronic health problems after cancer treatment: what's the evidence from population and registry data and where are the gaps?

Purpose Of Review: Improvements in cancer treatment have led to more people living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis but survivors may have increased health problems as they age. The purpose of this review is to critically evaluate population data exploring incidence of late effects for cancer survivors.

Recent Findings: 18 studies were identified between 2013 and 2023 that explored the impact on survivors' physical and emotional health.

A Gateway Framework to Guide Major Health System Changes Comment on "'Attending to History' in Major System Change in Healthcare in England: Specialist Cancer Surgery Service Reconfiguration".

Recent events - on both a global scale and within individual countries - including the lockdowns associated with COVID-19 pandemic, inflation concerns, and political tensions, have increased pressure to reconfigure social services for ongoing sustainability. Healthcare services across the world are undergoing major system change (MSC). Given the complexity and different contextual drivers across healthcare systems, there is a need to use a variety of perspectives to improve our understanding of the processes for MSC.
