Navigating choices: understanding the decision-making journey of patients with localised kidney cancer.

Objective: To explore patients' experience of decision making regarding treatment of localised kidney cancer.

Methods: A total of 21 patients with localised kidney cancer, across three countries, participated in either four focus groups or seven semi-structured interviews that lasted on average 2 h. Focus groups and interviews were all conducted in the participants' native language, recorded, transcribed and (if applicable) translated into English.

Diversity, community engagement and co-design in research: a rapid review.

There is increasing recognition in the field of health and social care research that community-engaged methods should include patients and the public throughout the research process. Therefore, individuals from all backgrounds should be involved in the research. We explored the public and patient engagement experience in research and how researchers and community groups can work together to make the research process more inclusive and sustainable.

Conserved 5-methyluridine tRNA modification modulates ribosome translocation.

While the centrality of posttranscriptional modifications to RNA biology has long been acknowledged, the function of the vast majority of modified sites remains to be discovered. Illustrative of this, there is not yet a discrete biological role assigned for one of the most highly conserved modifications, 5-methyluridine at position 54 in tRNAs (mU54). Here, we uncover contributions of mU54 to both tRNA maturation and protein synthesis.

Sleep Disturbance During Post-Traumatic Amnesia and Early Recovery After Traumatic Brain Injury.

After moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), sleep disturbance commonly emerges during the confused post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) recovery stage. However, the evaluation of early sleep disturbance during PTA, its recovery trajectory, and influencing factors is limited. This study aimed to evaluate sleep outcomes in patients experiencing PTA using ambulatory gold-standard polysomnography (PSG) overnight and salivary endogenous melatonin (a hormone that influences the sleep-wake cycle) assessment at two time-points.
