Scientists are increasingly required by funding agencies, publishers and their institutions to produce and publish data that are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). This requires curatorial activities, which are expensive in terms of both time and effort. Based on our experience of supporting a multidisciplinary research team, we provide recommendations to direct the efforts of researchers towards affordable ways to achieve a reasonable degree of “FAIRness” for their data to become reusable upon its publication.

- Physicians need to improve their skills in Lifestyle Medicine and embrace their role as Health Advocates, but many patients feel there's no need for lifestyle changes and often don’t discuss this with their doctors.
- A study involving 28 internists revealed that while they recognize the importance of health counseling and promotion (HC&P), they face mixed feelings about their responsibilities owing to various beliefs and systemic barriers.
- The study highlights how confidence in patient motivation and viewing HC&P as integral to treatment can reduce ambivalence among internists, leading to a proposed framework to enhance their Health Advocate competencies.
Objective: To investigate the construct validity of the Steep Ramp Test (SRT) by longitudinally comparing the correlation between maximum short exercise capacity of the SRT and direct measurements of peak oxygen consumption (Vopeak) during or shortly after treatment in patients with breast cancer and the potential effect of chemotherapy-induced symptom burden.
Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: Multicenter.
Background: We developed an Internet-based physical activity (PA) support program (IPAS), which is embedded in a patient portal. We evaluated the effectiveness and costs of IPAS alone (online only) or IPAS combined with physiotherapist telephone counselling (blended care), compared to a control group.
Methods: Breast or prostate cancer survivors, 3-36 months after completing primary treatment, were randomized to 6-months access to online only, blended care, or a control group.
A bad-news conversation often evokes strong emotions in a patient and those close to her or him. These emotions may inhibit mental processing of additional information. During a bad-news conversation, you should therefore not only provide information, but also help your patient to cope with these emotions and provide support.
