Aim/objective: Iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome occurs frequently during the tapering phase of opioids and benzodiazepines in paediatric intensive care units. The aim of this study was to explore physicians' and nurses' experiences in patient care and staff collaboration during the tapering phase using a new "algorithm for tapering analgosedation" METHODS: We used a qualitative explorative design with focus groups. The framework method was followed including transcription, familiarisation, coding, developing a framework, applying the framework, charting data into the framework matrix, and interpreting the data.

Article Synopsis
  • * A scoping review analyzed 53 studies from 2001-2024, showing CPSP prevalence ranges from 3.3% to 46.1%, with only half the studies defining CPSP clearly and inconsistent pain assessment methods.
  • * There's a need for standardized definitions and methodologies in future research to better understand CPSP, especially focused on specific surgical procedures to improve prevention and treatment strategies.

Background: Due to genetic depletion in nature, gene banks play a critical role in the long-term conservation of plant genetic resources and the provision of a wide range of plant genetic diversity for research and breeding programs. Genetic information on accessions facilitates gene bank management and can help to conserve limited resources and to identify taxonomic misclassifications or mislabelling. Here, we developed SNP markers for genotyping 4,187 mostly polyploid rose accessions from large rose collections, including the German Genebank for Roses.

Article Synopsis
  • Wearable technologies like inertial measurement units (IMUs) can assess human gait, but fixing the sensors in place is a challenge that must be addressed.
  • This study developed a machine learning algorithm using a single IMU, simulating smartphone use, to predict key gait events while participants walked at various speeds.
  • The method achieved 92% overall accuracy in detecting heel strikes and toe-offs, with promising results for potential future applications in remote gait analysis without the need for sensor fixation.

Background: Decision-making and problem-solving processes are powerful activities occurring daily across all healthcare settings. Their empowering potential is seldom fully exploited, and they may even be perceived as disempowering. We developed the EMPOWER-UP questionnaire to enable assessment of healthcare users' perception of empowerment across health conditions, healthcare settings, and healthcare providers' professional backgrounds.
