The Regina Risk Indicator Tool (RRIT) is used to identify how at risk clients are for requiring admission to long-term care. This study examined the potential use of this tool by case managers of older community dwelling clients receiving home care. The RRIT exhibited moderate to good inter-rater reliability and good predictive validity as clients of varying degrees of risk differed in amount of case management and services used. Healthcare managers may wish to consider using the tool to support decision-making related to case management and home care service.

The treatment landscape for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) has evolved significantly with the introduction of Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi), such as Tofacitinib (TOFA), which offer a new therapeutic option for patients who have failed or are intolerant to conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs). Safety concerns, particularly related to cardiovascular and cancer risks, prompted a need for additional investigation in real-world clinical settings. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and predictors of response to TOFA in two subpopulations of RA patients, categorized by differing cardiovascular risk profiles.

: Large-scale vaccination was crucial to address the global COVID-19 pandemic and its associated health risks, including fatal and disabling diseases. However, there were significant challenges to be overcome to ensure the safe and effective implementation of the vaccination program. The aim of the present study was to assess patient safety threats related to the anti-COVID-19 large-scale vaccination process.

Background: A high proportion of patients admitted to hospital are at nutritional risk or have malnutrition. However, this risk is often not identified at admission, which may result in longer hospital stays and increased likelihood of death. The Integrated Nutrition Pathway for Acute Care (INPAC) was developed to provide clinicians with a standardized approach to prevent, detect, and treat malnutrition in hospital.

Objective: This study aims to assess and compare two state-of-the-art deep learning approaches for segmenting four thoracic organs at risk (OAR)-the esophagus, trachea, heart, and aorta-in CT images in the context of radiotherapy planning.
Materials And Methods: We compare a multi-organ segmentation approach and the fusion of multiple single-organ models, each dedicated to one OAR. All were trained using nnU-Net with the default parameters and the full-resolution configuration.
