Objective: Benefit-finding and growth is an important process across a range of medical populations. However, it has been understudied in the context of lifelong chronic conditions, such as spina bifida (SB). This study aimed to develop a new measure of benefit-finding and growth for youth with SB, confirm its factor structure, and examine its psychometric properties.

- Bladder cancer incidence and mortality rates have remained stable over the past 20 years, with around 40% of high-risk nonmuscle invasive cases recurring or progressing.
- In 2021, an estimated 83,532 newly diagnosed bladder cancer patients in the USA faced treatment costs totaling approximately $2.6 billion, with costs varying significantly by disease stage.
- The economic analysis indicates that treating recurrent cases adds about $3.9 billion, leading to a total estimated treatment cost exceeding $6.5 billion for both newly diagnosed and recurrent patients, highlighting the financial impact of the disease.
Background: Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer globally. Early detection and treatment of skin cancer is critical for positive patient outcomes. General practitioners (GPs) play a central role in skin cancer management in Australia.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Skin cancer specimen handling in Australian histopathology laboratories, while largely standardised, exhibits significant variations that affect clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.
Objective: This article provides clinicians with an understanding of histopathological processes to enhance diagnostic precision, inform surgical margin evaluations and refine management approaches.
Discussion: Understanding specimen handling and protocols is vital for accurate interpretation of pathology reports and management of skin cancers.
Article Synopsis
- Epitaxial graphene/ferromagnetic metal heterostructures are promising for spintronic devices due to their unique magnetic properties and stability.
- The research focuses on understanding the spin-orbit coupling at the interface of graphene and cobalt on iridium, revealing that hybridization contributes to strong coupling effects.
- Findings indicate that while thin cobalt layers exhibit significant spin-orbit effects, these vanish with thicker layers, highlighting the importance of graphene's electronic interactions for future spintronic applications.
