Article Synopsis
- This review examines how older individuals living at home interact with healthcare professionals regarding advance care planning and aims to enhance end-of-life care discussions.
- It highlights the need for healthcare providers to initiate these important conversations more effectively, as community-dwelling older adults often miss out on these opportunities compared to those in institutional settings.
- The review includes 5 qualitative studies published between 2017 and 2022, all demonstrating a reasonably high quality according to established appraisal metrics.
The implementation of home-care robots is sometimes unsuccessful. This study aimed to explore factors explaining people's willingness to use home-care robots, particularly among care recipients and caregivers. Surveys were conducted in Japan, Ireland, and Finland.

Article Synopsis
- Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is rare in children but can occur after cardiac arrest, as highlighted in a case involving a 16-month-old boy in Japan who suffered from it post-resuscitation.* -
- The boy experienced cardiac arrest due to foreign body asphyxiation and required extensive resuscitation efforts, including 10 doses of adrenaline over a maximum arrest time of 95 minutes.* -
- After developing NOMI 40 hours later, he faced severe complications but was successfully treated with two surgical procedures and ultimately discharged, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention.*
Taste bud cells are classified into four types by their ultrastructural features. Immunohistochemical detection of taste-signaling molecules is used to distinguish cell types of taste bud cells; however, the characteristics of taste cell types such as the immunoreactivity for taste-signaling molecules have long remained unclear. We investigated the detailed characteristics of taste cells in rat vallate taste buds by electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry for gustducin, neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2), which are known as markers of Type II cells, Type III cells and both cell types, respectively.
