Effect of a dietary nutraceutical "STRUCTURE-Joint" on response of horses to intra-articular challenge with IL-1: implications for tissue adaptation to stress.

The purpose was to determine local (articular) and systemic effects of intra-articular interleukin-1 in horses supplemented with a dietary PUFA supplement [STRUCTURE-Joint ()]. Sixteen (16) healthy, mature, light breed horses were randomly assigned to diets containing 0 or 120 mL ( = 8 per group) of ST-J for 30 d. On days 0 (prior to beginning supplementation) and 27, recombinant equine interleukin-1β () (75 ng) was injected into the left or right intercarpal joint to induce mild, transient synovitis.

Digital health interventions to improve recovery for intensive care unit survivors: A systematic review.

Objective: Recovery models of care for intensive care unit (ICU) survivors are limited by availability, accessibility, and efficacy. Digital health interventions represent an alternative mode of service delivery. The primary aim of this systematic review was to describe implementation factors (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) for digital health interventions for ICU survivors.

Clinician- and Patient-Identified Solutions to Reduce the Fragmentation of Post-ICU Care in Australia.

Background: Critical care survivors experience multiple care transitions, with no formal follow-up care pathway.

Research Question: What are the potential solutions to improve the communication between treating teams and integration of care following an ICU admission, from the perspective of patients, their caregivers, intensivists, and general practitioners (GPs) from diverse socioeconomic areas?

Study Design And Methods: This study included a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with intensivists, GPs, and patients and caregivers. Framework analysis was used to analyze data and to identify solutions to improve the integration of care following hospital discharge.

A qualitative descriptive study of a novel nurse-led skin cancer screening model in rural Australia.

Background: People residing in rural areas have higher rates of skin cancer and face barriers to accessing care. Models of skin cancer care addressing the specific needs of rural communities and overcoming specific challenges are required, but literature is scarce. This study aimed to describe the elements of a nurse-led skin cancer model in rural Victoria using qualitative methodology and programme logic to inform implementation and ongoing sustainability.
