Unveiling the qualities of a 'good doctor': family carers' and healthcare professionals' perspective on dementia healthcare in India.

Background: The escalating prevalence of dementia in India highlights the need for effective dementia care, particularly in a context marked by limited specialized services and resources. In response to this growing challenge, we sought to contribute to the understanding of societal expectations of multidisciplinary dementia care by exploring the qualities that family carers and healthcare professionals value in dementia care professionals within a multidisciplinary team in India.

Methods: The aim of the study was to describe the perspectives of carers and healthcare professionals regarding the attributes of a 'good doctor' in the context of accessing care for individuals with dementia in India.

Attitudes to long-term care in India: A secondary, mixed methods analysis.

Objectives: In India, globalisation is purported to have contributed to shifting family structures and changing attitudes to long-term care (LTC) facility use. We investigated the attitudes to and usage frequency of LTC in India.

Methods: We conducted secondary analyses of: (a) The Moving Pictures India Project qualitative interviews with 19 carers for people with dementia and 25 professionals, collected in 2022, exploring attitudes to LTC; and (b) The Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) 2017-2018, cross-sectional survey of a randomised probability sample of Indian adults aged 45+ living in private households.

Relational Solidarity and Conflicting Ethics in Dementia Care in Urban India.

Objectives: Using the concept of relational solidarity, we examine how autonomy, equality, dignity, and personhood are practiced in the care of people living with dementia at home in urban India.

Methods: Video interviews with 19 family carers and 25 health providers conducted in English, Hindi, and Kannada in Bengaluru between March and July 2022. Data were translated into English and thematically analyzed.

Attitudes to long-term care in India: a secondary mixed-methods analysis.

Background: India is the world's most populous country, and overseas Indians the world's largest diaspora. Many of the more than 1·4 million UK-based Indians will be providing care at a distance for parents living in India. Globalisation has contributed to a shift in India from traditional joint family systems to more nuclear structures.

Focused Attention on Positive Aspects of Dementia Care in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities: Qualitative Insights from Australia.

Objectives: Dementia care scholarship focuses on care challenges and less on positive aspects of care, especially among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) carers outside the United States. This article investigates positive aspects of dementia care across eight CALD groups in Australia.

Methods: We analyzed interviews of 112 family carers using a four-domain framework covering: a sense of personal growth, feelings of mutuality, increases in family cohesion, and a sense of personal accomplishment.

Using Digital Media to Improve Dementia Care in India: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: India is undergoing a demographic transition characterized by population aging and is witnessing a high dementia rate. Although nearly 7 million people live with dementia in India, dementia awareness is poor, and current resources addressing dementia care are basic and often incomplete, duplicated, or conflicting. To address this gap, this study aims to use digital media, which has had a massive technological uptake in India, to improve dementia care in India.

The experience of structural burden for culturally and linguistically diverse family carers of people living with dementia in Australia.

Evidence suggests that family carers of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people living with dementia experience higher stress and unmet need than the general Australian population. These disparities are often framed as the result of CALD communities failing to seek formal support. Challenging this, we draw on the concept of 'structural burden' to explore how the complexity of health and aged systems contribute to the burden that CALD carers experience.

Boundary Crossers: How Providers Facilitate Ethnic Minority Families' Access to Dementia Services.

Objectives: Providers who work closely with ethnic minority people with dementia and their families are pivotal in helping them access services. However, few studies have examined how these providers actually do this work. Using the concept of "boundary crossers," this article investigates the strategies applied by these providers to facilitate access to dementia services for ethnic minority people with dementia and their families.

Beyond crisis: Enacted sense-making among ethnic minority carers of people with dementia in Australia.

The 'family crisis' narrative is frequently used in dementia studies to explain ethnic minority families' pathways to health and aged care and why there is delayed dementia diagnoses in ethnic minority communities. Such narratives may obscure the family carers' agency in negotiating services and managing personal, social and structural burdens in the lead up to diagnosis. To illuminate agency, this article describes ethnic minority families' pathways to a dementia diagnosis using the concept of sense-making.

Radiological and histopathological examination of apparent lytic lesions in allograft long bones-No cause for concern.

Objective: Identify the nature of apparent lytic lesions within human allograft specimens from patients with no known malignancy, using radiological and histopathological analysis.

Methods: 123 Post-retrieval radiographs from 23 donors were examined. Sixty-seven radiographs were noted to show apparent lytic lesions.

Soft tissue 'mallet' injury to the hallux.

We describe a case of a delayed presentation of a traumatic soft tissue mallet injury to the distal phalanx of the hallux in a teenager. Reports of this rare injury are sparse and there is no consensus in their treatment. This injury was treated with open repair of the tendon using a Mitek suture anchor, and stabilization with a 1.

A new species of Myxidium (Myxosporea: Myxidiidae), from the western chorus frog, Pseudacris triseriata triseriata, and Blanchard's cricket frog, Acris crepitans blanchardi (Hylidae), from eastern Nebraska: morphology, phylogeny, and critical comments on amphibian Myxidium taxonomy.

During March 2001-April 2004, 164 adult anurans of 6 species (47 Rana blairi, 35 Rana catesbeiana, 31 Hyla chrysoscelis, 31 Pseudacris triseriata triseriata, 11 Bufo woodhousii, and 9 Acris crepitans blanchardi) from Pawnee Lake, Lancaster County, Nebraska, were surveyed for myxozoan parasites. Of these, 20 of 31 (65%) P. triseriata triseriata and 1 of 9 (11%) A.
