Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 49 women who had experienced stillbirth in 1987-1989. Only 55% were satisfied with the manner in which the first suspicion had been communicated to them, while 85% were satisfied with the communication at the time of the diagnosis. Opinions about care in the labour ward, while largely positive, indicate that lack of tact from an individual may cloud the entire perception of care. Although only 40% had expressed a desire to see the baby, the others were happy to have been persuaded to do so and all were positive about the contact with the dead baby. Of 42 women (86%) who gave consent for autopsy, only one regretted this decision. Support received post partum was considered to be inadequate or insufficient by 10%. Despite the short hospital stay (average 1 day), most women afterwards felt that they would have preferred to return home earlier; only 9% felt that they would have preferred to stay longer.

BC Cancer - Vancouver Centre, 600 W 10th Ave, Vancouver, BC, V5K 4E6, Canada.
Purpose: Adolescents and young adult survivors of head and neck cancers are at risk of long-term complications stemming from their diagnosis and treatment. A cross-sectional study was performed on recalled survivors with the objective of reviewing their response to recall and preferences for ongoing care, to determine health service use before recall, and to describe knowledge and information seeking.
Methods: Survivors of head and neck cancer diagnosed between the ages 15-39 during the period 1970-2010 and treated with radiotherapy were invited to the survey.

Objective: This study evaluates patient experiences with the SAFE@home platform for telemonitoring of blood pressure (BP) and symptom tracking in patients high-risk pregnancies. We hypothesized patients would perceive telemonitoring as usable and patient-centered and aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to aid future digital health scale-up.
Methods: A quantitative analysis within a cohort study across 11 hospitals was conducted.

March 2025
Centre for Health Exercise and Sports Medicine, Department of Physiotherapy, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Importance: In Australia, few people with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture are managed with rehabilitation alone despite clinical trials demonstrating similar outcomes to ACL reconstruction (ACLR). The reasons for the low uptake of rehabilitation alone for the treatment of acute ACL rupture in Australia are unclear.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate physical therapists' beliefs and the information they provide to patients about treatment options for ACL rupture, and to explore ACL rupture treatment decision-making from the perspective of physical therapists.
Exploring medical students' preferences and challenges in clinical pharmacology education: insights and improvement strategies.
BMC Med Educ
March 2025
Department of Basic Medical Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Jeddah, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Medical students receive foundational knowledge in clinical pharmacology, bridging the gap between pharmacology and clinical practice. While several studies have investigated clinical pharmacology teaching methodologies, few describe the teaching and learning of clinical pharmacology in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to explore medical students' preferences for teaching and learning methods in clinical pharmacology, identify current strengths and challenges, and provide suggestions for improvement.
