Participation factors in a self-quantification program for family caregivers of community-dwelling older adults with long-term care in Japan.
BMC Res Notes
December 2024
The University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, 113-0033, Japan.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the characteristics of participation in the self-quantification program for family caregivers (CGs) who provide long-term care to community-dwelling older adults. The family CGs, allocated based on the percentage of the nation's older population who needed care and met the inclusion criteria, who provided caregiving at least once a week for those aged 65 + and who were certified as needing care under the Japanese long-term care insurance program, were collected through online monitors. We compared the characteristics of the program participants and nonparticipants using logistic regression.

December 2024
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, St Vincent's University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland.
Aim: This study aims to assess the cervical spine positioning of consultant and trainee hand surgeons during standardised hand surgeries, focusing on the prevalence of sustained end-range postures, particularly cervical spine flexion.
Background: Surgeons often perform procedures that require maintenance of sustained postures for prolonged periods of time. Hand surgeons may be at increased risk of sustained end of range postures, particularly cervical spine flexion.
What can be done to ease the transition to becoming a new paediatric registrar?
BMC Med Educ
November 2024
Centre for Medical Education, Cardiff University School of Medicine, Cardiff, UK.
Background: The transition period of becoming a new paediatric registrar has limited study. Consequently, the learning needs of such trainees are unclear including educational interventions that may improve the process. This qualitative study examined the negative and positive experiences of transitioning paediatric trainees to identify learning needs and subsequently derive educational interventions that are perceived to ease transition.

Medicine (Baltimore)
September 2024
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, National Rehabilitation Center, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- * A study of 427 SCI patients analyzed demographic and injury-related factors to understand patterns of bone loss over time, utilizing advanced testing methods and statistical analysis.
- * Key risk factors for bone loss identified include older age, female gender, low body mass index, and lower scores on the Korean Spinal Cord Independence Measure, suggesting these factors may require closer monitoring in this population.
Preoperative predictors of very early recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma beyond the Milan criteria.
Langenbecks Arch Surg
September 2024
Department of Surgery, Nara Medical University, 840 Shijo-cho Kashihara-shi, Nara, 634-8522, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients outside the Milan criteria who undergo liver surgery experience high rates of very early recurrence (VER) and poor outcomes, prompting this study to investigate predictive factors, including the CALLY index.
- The study analyzed patients who had liver resection for HCC beyond Milan criteria from 2000 to 2021, comparing those with VER (recurrence within 6 months) to those who recurred later or not at all, identifying key risk factors.
- Findings revealed that high alpha-fetoprotein levels, non-simple nodule types, and lower CALLY index significantly predicted poorer survival rates, indicating that patients with multiple risk factors may benefit from more aggressive treatment options.
