Article Abstract
This article presents the findings of a qualitative study investigating how critical care nurses include families in end-of-life care. The major theme, "Supporting the Families' Journey Through the Dying Process," illustrates how critical care nurses organize information to construct the "big picture" of the patients' deteriorating status and artfully communicate this to families.

Alive & Thrive has been a major global nutrition initiative that aimed to learn how to improve maternal, infant, young child, and adolescent nutrition and health on a large scale. During 2009-2014, Alive & Thrive developed and implemented interventions to improve infant and young child feeding at scale in three countries. Subsequently, Alive & Thrive expanded its work to more than 15 geographies, including six country-specific and two regional programs, to additionally address maternal and adolescent nutrition while adding agriculture and social protection programs to improve maternal, infant, and young child nutrition.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading global cause of morbidity and mortality, with increasing evidence linking long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM) to accelerated lung function decline and exacerbation of COPD symptoms. This study aimed to assess the global burden of PM-related COPD from 1990 to 2021 and project future health and economic impacts. Using Mendelian randomization, the causal relationship between PM exposure and COPD was confirmed.

Few metrics exist to describe phenotypic diversity within ophthalmic imaging datasets, with researchers often using ethnicity as a surrogate marker for biological variability. We derived a continuous, measured metric, the retinal pigment score (RPS), that quantifies the degree of pigmentation from a colour fundus photograph of the eye. RPS was validated using two large epidemiological studies with demographic and genetic data (UK Biobank and EPIC-Norfolk Study) and reproduced in a Tanzanian, an Australian, and a Chinese dataset.

However, the specificity of environmental data introduces biases in straightforward implementations. We identify a streamlined pipeline to enhance model accuracy, addressing issues like imbalanced data, spatial autocorrelation, prediction errors, and the nuances of model generalization and uncertainty estimation.
