Article Synopsis
- Advance care planning (ACP) is crucial for older adults but is not widely adopted in community aged care settings; recent studies suggest that holistic, person-centered approaches may enhance engagement.
- The EARLI trial is a randomized study involving 12 aged care organizations in Australia, aiming to test a combined life story work and facilitated ACP intervention over two years with participants aged 65 and older.
- By assessing outcomes like ACP engagement, documentation, and emotional well-being, the trial seeks to demonstrate that personalized approaches can improve ACP uptake and ultimately benefit older adults and their families.
New therapeutics are necessary for preventing Plasmodium vivax malaria due to easy transmissibility and dormancy in the liver that increases the clinical burden due to recurrent relapse. In this manuscript we characterize 12 Pv Apical Membrane Antigen 1 (PvAMA1) specific human monoclonal antibodies from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of a Pv-exposed individual. PvAMA1 is essential for sporozoite and merozoite invasion, making it a unique therapeutic target.

Studies have identified several potential limitations of UV-C for HLD of semi-critical medical devices, including a lack of data demonstrating that UV-C irradiance can be uniformly applied to complex surfaces that contain grooves, notches and imperfections. This study focused on ultrasound probes as commonly used medical devices to show the distribution of irradiance on these surfaces.
