Article Synopsis
- * Involving 25 Division I female college athletes, the research found that 60% were at moderate risk and 8% at high risk for the triad, highlighting a significant prevalence of this issue in this population.
- * There was a notable correlation between maladaptive perfectionism (like concerns over mistakes) and triad risk, implying that perfectionistic traits can contribute to higher risks, but those with positive perfectionism did not show the same risk levels.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers discovered that the archaeon Acidianus brierleyi can consume H and CO, aiding ATP production and survival across a temperature range of 10 to 70 °C.
- * The study indicates that trace gas oxidation may be a widespread feature among Sulfolobales archaea, which could support their survival and growth in various environments, including temperate ones.
Background: Wide local excision (WLE) is standard practice in the management of melanoma, but no national or international guidelines exist regarding its technique.
Objectives: To assess variation in the practice of WLE and to explore the effect of clinicians' specialty and grade on such variation.
Methods: This was an international, anonymized, cross-sectional study.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of neutral versus negative-pressure needleless connectors in preventing peripheral intravenous catheter failure among adult patients in an Australian hospital.
- The research was a pilot randomized control trial involving 201 participants, where neutral connectors resulted in a higher catheter failure rate (39%) compared to negative connectors (19%).
- While the trial met most feasibility criteria, it indicated that adjustments to participant eligibility screening were necessary, and highlighted the need for further research on needleless connector designs to better understand their impact on patient care.
Background: Skin metastases are an important co-morbidity in melanoma. Despite broad adoption, electrochemotherapy implementation is hindered by a lack of treatment indications, uncertainty regarding procedural aspects, and the absence of quality indicators. An expert consensus may harmonize the approach among centres and facilitate comparison with other therapies.
