In The Netherlands home care is one of the most rapidly growing fields in health. It is thought to provide a cheaper alternative to hospitalization and improved quality of life for the patient. However, there is evidence that home care may result in better care but does not reduce the burden on hospital services. Studies have shown that outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) is more cost-effective, resulting in an improved quality of life. The new home-treatment technology requires careful evaluation, under set guidelines, to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Unlabelled: Up to 90% of amputee patients have phantom limb pain (PLP), which is difficult to treat. The aim of this study was to assess the medium and long-term efficacy of mirror therapy (MT) in unilateral amputee adults with PLP.
Methods: We carried out an uncontrolled prospective longitudinal study.

Objective: In Australia, 'improving access to and the consumption of a healthy diet' is a focus in the National Preventive Health Strategy. The objective of this paper is to describe the past trends and future projections of population intakes against the Strategy's targets of increasing fruit consumption to 2 servings per day; increasing vegetables to 5 servings; and reducing discretionary foods to <20% of total energy by 2030.
Methods: Self-reported intake data were available from an online survey of 275,170 Australian adults collected between 2015 and 2023.

Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a frequent and severe complication among newborns in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). It is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality rates, more extended hospital stays and increased health care costs. Implementing preventive care bundles and structured sets of evidence-based practices reduces VAP incidence.

The widespread adoption of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been limited by complex, resource-intensive manufacturing processes. This review discusses the latest innovations aiming to improve and streamline CAR T-cell production across key steps like T-cell activation, genetic modification, expansion, and scaling. Promising techniques highlighted include generating CAR T cells from non-activated lymphocytes to retain a stem-like phenotype and function, non-viral gene transfer leveraging platforms like transposon and CRISPR, all-in-one fully automated bioreactors like the CliniMACS Prodigy and the Lonza Cocoon, rapid CAR T-cell manufacturing via abbreviating or eliminating ex vivo T-cell culture, implementing decentralized point-of-care automated manufacturing platforms, and optimizing centralized bioreactor infrastructure integrating end-to-end automation.
