Physician assisted-dying in mentally and somatically ill individuals in Switzerland: Protocol for survey-based study.

Background: Article 115 of the Swiss Penal Code (StGB) permits physician-assisted dying (PAD), provided it is not performed for "selfish reasons," and thus, occupies a special role in international comparison. However, the Swiss federal law does not regulate who exactly is entitled to access PAD, and there is no universal agreement in the concerned professional societies. Additional uncertainty arises when assessing the wish for PAD of a mentally ill person compared to a somatically ill person.

Corneal Changes After Belantamab Mafodotin in Multiple Myeloma Patients.

Objectives: To describe progressive corneal microcyst-like epithelial changes (MECs) that developed in patients treated with the investigational drug belantamab mafodotin (belamaf) for refractory multiple myeloma (MM).

Methods: This is a single center case series of patients with MM receiving the investigational drug belamaf.

Results: All 12 patients included in this analysis who were treated with belamaf developed MECs that initially appeared in the peripheral cornea and progressed centrally with time.

Mobile Support for Older Adults and Their Caregivers: Dyad Usability Study.

Background: Evaluation of digital health applications to support older adults' independence and family caregiving is needed. Digital health is increasingly providing opportunities for older adults and their family caregivers to educate, engage, and share health information across digital platforms. Few apps have documented evidence of usability by older adults and their caregivers.

Additive Manufacturing of Information Carriers Based on Shape Memory Polyester Urethane.

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are stimuli-responsive materials, which are able to retain an imposed, temporary shape and recover the initial, permanent shape through an external stimulus like heat. In this work, a novel manufacturing method is introduced for thermoresponsive quick response (QR) code carriers, which originally were developed as anticounterfeiting technology. Motivated by the fact that earlier manufacturing processes were sometimes too time-consuming for production, filaments of a polyester urethane (PEU) with and without dye were extruded and processed into QR code carriers using fused filament fabrication (FFF).

Clinical follow-up evaluation of Dalbo®-Rotex® retention elements in the private practice.

The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the clinical outcome of Dalbo®-Rotex® retention elements in a private practice. The majority of the retention elements was fixed with self-adhesive composite cement, and in almost 40% the exposed root surface was additionally covered with composite. The success rate of 96.
