Since Apple's iPhone revolutionized the smartphone market, numerous software application features (apps) for portable devices have been developed. Amongst many others, a broad range of medical assistance software, such as anatomic books or medical encyclopedias is now available. We developed an app which helps to identify patients who need medical treatment before intravenous or intra-arterial administration of iodinated contrast media. The purpose of this article is to show that novel techniques such as smartphone applications can be a useful tool in medicine.

Effectiveness of Non-Nutritive Sucking on Sucking Performance in Preterm Infants: A Systematic Review.
Phys Occup Ther Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Rehabilitation, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science & Technology, Wuhan, China.
Introduction: Non-nutritive sucking (NNS) is commonly employed to assist in the development of preterm infants facing feeding challenges. The effectiveness of NNS interventions on sucking performance (suction and expression/compression component of sucking) in this population has not yet to be systematically explored.
Aims: To review the literature on the effects of NNS on sucking performance in preterm infants.

Background: Unhealthy behaviours contributing to cardiovascular issues, diabetes, strokes, and cancer, pose significant health risks. General practitioners (GPs) are pivotal in guiding behaviour change, with Motivational Interviewing (MI) showing promise. MI, developed by William Miller and Stephen Rollnick, aims to enhance motivation for change.

JMIR Med Inform
January 2025
School of Software, Taiyuan University of Technology, Jingzhong, China.
Background: The prompt and accurate identification of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is crucial for preventing its progression into more severe neurodegenerative diseases. However, current diagnostic solutions, such as biomarkers and cognitive screening tests, prove costly, time-consuming, and invasive, hindering patient compliance and the accessibility of these tests. Therefore, exploring a more cost-effective, efficient, and noninvasive method to aid clinicians in detecting MCI is necessary.

Background: Although there is clear evidence supporting the beneficial effects of regularly assessing patient-reported outcomes (PROs), the comprehensive integration of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) into routine cancer care remains limited. This study aimed to explore the facilitators and barriers encountered by principal investigators (PIs) (oncologists) and study nurses during the implementation of the Eir ePROM within a cluster randomized trial (c-RCT) in cancer outpatient clinics. Additionally, we sought to examine the influence of Eir on the working routines of the participants.
