Care for older adults living with dementia in the emergency department: a systematic review and meta-synthesis of care partner roles and perspectives.

Objective: Care partners play a vital role in supporting persons living with dementia (PLWD) in using medical services. We conducted a meta-synthesis to explore care partner perspectives of ED care for PLWD, as well as healthcare provider (HCP) perceptions of care partner roles within the ED, to identify care gaps and facilitators across the ED continuum.

Methods: MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Embase databases were searched from inception to 8 May 2023.

Acquisition of Data on Kinematic Responses to Unpredictable Gait Perturbations: Collection and Quality Assurance of Data for Use in Machine Learning Algorithms for (Near-)Fall Detection.

Slip, trip, and fall (STF) accidents cause high rates of absence from work in many companies. During the 2022 reporting period, the German Social Accident Insurance recorded 165,420 STF accidents, of which 12 were fatal and 2485 led to disability pensions. Particularly in the traffic, transport and logistics sector, STF accidents are the most frequently reported occupational accidents.

Noninferiority of 16-Week vs 8-Week Guselkumab Dosing in Super Responders for Maintaining Control of Psoriasis: The GUIDE Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with unmet needs for tailored treatment and therapy de-escalation strategies.

Objective: To evaluate early intervention with and prolonging the dosing interval for guselkumab, a p19 subunit-targeted interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitor, in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.

Design, Setting, And Participants: The GUIDE clinical trial is an ongoing phase 3b, randomized, double-blinded trial conducted across 80 centers in Germany and France comprising 3 parts evaluating the impact of early disease intervention, prolonged dosing interval, and maintenance of response following treatment withdrawal among adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Monovalent Pseudo-Natural Product Degraders Supercharge the Native Degradation of IDO1 by KLHDC3.

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) modulates protein function beyond inhibition of enzyme activity or protein-protein interactions. Most degraders function by proximity induction, and directly bridge an E3 ligase with the target to be degraded. However, many proteins might not be addressable via proximity-based degraders, and other challenges, such as resistance acquisition, exist.

Genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 evolution by a centralised pipeline and weekly focused sequencing, Austria, January 2021 to March 2023.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic was largely driven by genetic mutations of SARS-CoV-2, leading in some instances to enhanced infectiousness of the virus or its capacity to evade the host immune system. To closely monitor SARS-CoV-2 evolution and resulting variants at genomic-level, an innovative pipeline termed SARSeq was developed in Austria.AimWe discuss technical aspects of the SARSeq pipeline, describe its performance and present noteworthy results it enabled during the pandemic in Austria.
