Using 'Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation' Method in Palliative Care to Enhance Handover Quality and Nursing Practice: A Mix Method Study.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of using 'Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation' method ('SBAR') in a palliative care setting.

Background: Effective handover communication is crucial for patient safety. Standardised communication tools, such as the SBAR method, are recommended to reduce errors and improve care coordination, but their use in palliative care is not investigated.

Facial Acne: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study on the Clinical Efficacy of a Symbiotic Dietary Supplement.

Introduction: Treatments other than topical and systemic antibiotics are needed to restore the dysbiosis correlated with acne onset and evolution. In this view, probiotics and botanical extracts could represent a valid adjunctive therapeutic approach. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of a dietary supplement containing probiotics (Bifidobacterium breve BR03 DSM 16604, Lacticaseibacillus casei LC03 DSM 27537, and Ligilactobacillus salivarius LS03 DSM 22776) and botanical extract (lupeol from Solanum melongena L.

An investigation into silk fibroin conformation in composite materials intended for drug delivery.

Regenerated silk fibroin (SF) is a promising biomaterial to design drug delivery systems. To guarantee satisfactory prolonged release of loaded drugs, the native β-sheet conformation of SF is generally induced by a final curing which can determine instability of the loaded drug. This work aimed to investigate the influence on SF conformation of the addition of hydrophilic polymers, namely poloxamer 188 (PEO), a range of poly(ethylenglycol) (PEG)and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and drying conditions, namely spray-drying or evaporation at 60 °C.
