[When workplace becomes the place where a relative with cancer is cared: How do caregiver, patient and healthcare professionals interact?].

Introduction: Three clinical situations explored the interactions between patients treated for cancer in oncology, their family caregivers working as doctors or nurses in the same establishment or service, and the healthcare team providing the patient's care, as well as the repercussions of such a context on these three players.

Methods: In each situation, the patient, the family caregiver and a member of the team were interviewed using a semi-directive interview guide. The 8 interviews were recorded and transcribed in full, then subjected to thematic content analysis.

Lessons From Special Forces Operators for Elite Team Sports Training: How to Make the Whole Greater Than the Sum of the Parts.

This methodology paper describes the design of a holistic and multidisciplinary human performance program within the Belgian Special Forces Group, the Tier 1 Special Operations unit of the Belgian Defense. Performance management approaches in the military draw heavily on sports science. The key component of the program design described here is its integrative nature, which team sports training might benefit from.

Protein intake, weight loss, dietary intervention, and worsening of quality of life in older patients during chemotherapy for cancer.

Decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is common in patients with cancer. We investigated the effects of dietary intervention and baseline nutritional status on worsening of HRQoL in older patients during chemotherapy. In this randomized control trial assessing the effect on mortality of dietary advice to increase dietary intake during chemotherapy, this post hoc analysis included 155 patients with cancer at risk of malnutrition.

[Recommendations for the implementation of multi-professional staffs (MPS) in care services].

The context and constraints of modern medicine (hospital beds and caregivers' reductions, ambulatory shift, new therapeutic approaches, integration of supportive care…) combined with new societal and Health system changes (ageing population, chronic diseases, new requirements of the patients…) redefine the orientations of care and question professional practices. The participative approach (PA) as a model of team organization proposes solutions involving the skills of the various interacting caregivers and experimental knowledge and consideration of patient needs. The multi-professional staff (MPS) is a collaborative tool of this participative approach that federates a team around a health or care project personalized from the crosschecked eyes of care professionals and from a shared decision-making process.

Three cases of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in austere pre-hospital environment-technical and methodological aspects.

Background: The present paper describes three cases where ER-REBOA® was used with partial aorta occlusion (AO), by performing a partial resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta or pREBOA, in an austere pre-hospital military environment.In addition, because no specific REBOA algorithm for pre-hospital environment exists yet, this paper seeks to fill this gap, proposing a new pragmatic REBOA algorithm.

Methods: Belgian Special Operations Surgical Team applied REBOA in three patients according to a decisional algorithm, based on the MIST acronym used for trauma patients.
