Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluated the effectiveness of 6 different types of commercially available prefabricated orthotic insoles on how pressure is distributed in the feet, particularly focusing on healthy individuals.
  • - Using in-shoe dynamic pressure measurements, researchers found that insoles designed with heel cups and specific arch shapes increased contact area and reduced peak pressure in critical foot regions.
  • - The findings suggest that these prefabricated insoles can help alleviate lower-body muscle stress for individuals who spend a lot of time on their feet, highlighting their practical benefits.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of work-related musculoskeletal (MSK) lower body pain on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and work productivity in a large sample of workers in the United Kingdom, as well as evaluating the potential economic impact of MSK pain.

Methods: Participants with self-reported work-related MSK pain were recruited from an online panel maintained by a third party (Qualtrics LLC). Participants completed three validated instruments online: the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), the Assessment of Quality of Life Instrument (AQoL-4D), and the 6-item Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI).

Purpose: Survivors of pediatric embryonal brain tumors (BT) are at high risk for sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) associated with neurocognitive decline. However, previous studies have not assessed the relationship between SNHL and adaptive functioning. We examined neurocognitive and adaptive functioning in patients with and without SNHL.

Goals-of-care discussions at end-of-life are associated with increased patient satisfaction and reduced treatment burdens, reduced family and healthcare worker distress and healthcare costs, while achieving equal life-expectancy. It is unclear how goals-of-care discussions should occur. The objective of the study was to determine which patients could benefit, requirements, content, documentation, and harms and benefits of emergency medicine goals-of-care discussions.

Goals-of-care discussions aim to establish patient values for shared medical decision-making. These discussions are relevant towards end-of-life as patients may receive non-beneficial treatments if they have never discussed preferences for care. End-of-life care is provided in Emergency Departments (EDs) but little is known regarding ED-led goals-of-care discussions.
