Care for the dying ICU patient and family should be inclusive of respect for their goals, preferences. and choices. Care should be comprehensive, inclusive of all the patient domains (physical, psychosocial and, spiritual), and inclusive of all the specialties and disciplines that can be helpful at this complex time. The families' concerns should be acknowledged and support given. Our ICUs need to develop supportive environments for those dying patients who stay in the unit. Quality improvement and ongoing evaluation will provide avenues of change for care of this special group of patients and families.

The role of Black-led community organisations in supporting Black mental health: a Black emancipatory action research project.
Ethn Health
January 2025
SACMHA, Sheffield, UK.
Objective: To explore the role of Black-led community organisations in supporting Black mental health and wellbeing in the UK.
Design: A qualitative, Black Emancipatory Action Research Framework was adopted. Framework application involved adequately compensating community organisations for their consultancy role; having 'research conversations' rather than interviewing participants; and focusing outputs on community benefit.
An intractable conflict environment (ICE) is an extreme context in which deep, unsolvable conflict between groups is central to the actors within it. While non-ICEs are typically assumed in organizational research, ICEs are increasingly common contexts for organizations. Moreover, this context influences peoples' interpretation of potential organizational conflict incidents inside the organization and therefore the likelihood and emotional intensity of organizational conflict events.

Adversity and trauma are commonly misunderstood human experiences affecting most individuals across post-secondary campuses. Depending on contextual factors, they can lead to lifelong challenges or growth. Without an adequate understanding, well-meaning individuals and organisations may unknowingly perpetuate harm.

Article Synopsis
- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is associated with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, with the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index being a key marker for assessing insulin resistance.
- A study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to explore the relationship between TyG index levels and H. pylori infection among 2,984 participants.
- The results showed that higher TyG index values correlated with an increased likelihood of H. pylori infection, particularly in the highest quartile, indicating a need for further research on metabolic health and its impact on H. pylori infection.

Introduction: Mammalian sperm within a single ejaculate exhibit significant heterogeneity, with only a subset possessing the molecular characteristics required for successful fertilization. Identifying the defining traits of these high-fertility sperm remains an open question.
Objectives: To elucidate the molecular markers and mechanisms underlying the fertilization potential of sperm in both mice and humans, with a focus on the role of D-mannose.
