This article proposes to organize the documentation system of point-of-care testing (POCT) to meet the requirements of EN ISO 22870. In a first part, we propose provisions to improve the control of documents circulating outside the laboratory and aimed at non-laboratory staff. Then we review POCT-related records and we propose an organization facilitating their audit. In the last part, a model of POCT quality plan is proposed : in addition to the quality manual, this document defines the specific measures taken in order to ensure the control of POCT.

miR-9-5p/HMMR regulates the tumorigenesis and progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma through EMT and JAK1/STAT1 signaling pathway.

Background: The most common malignant type of kidney cancer is clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The expression levels of hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor (HMMR) in many tumor types are significantly elevated. HMMR is closely associated with tumor-related progression, treatment resistance, and poor prognosis, and has yet to be fully investigated in terms of its expression patterns and molecular mechanisms of action in ccRCC.

Background: Diagnosing headache disorders poses significant challenges, particularly in primary and secondary levels of care (PSLC), potentially leading to misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis. This study evaluates diagnostic agreement for migraine, tension-type headache (TTH), and cluster headache (CH) between PSLC and tertiary care (TLC) and assesses adherence to the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition (ICHD-3) guidelines.
Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional analysis was conducted at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin's tertiary headache center.
Conditional Deletion of Gremlin-1 in Cathepsin K-expressing Mature Osteoclasts Altered the Skeletal Response to Calcium Depletion in Sex-Dependent Manner.

Musculoskeletal Disease Center (151), Jerry L. Pettis Memorial VA Medical Center, VA Loma Linda Healthcare System, 11201 Benton Street, Loma Linda, CA, 92357, USA.
This study assessed the novel concept that osteoclast-derived Grem1 has regulatory functions in the skeletal response to calcium stress using an osteoclastic Grem1 conditional knockout (cKO) mouse model. The calcium stress was initiated by feeding cKO mutants and wildtype (WT) littermates a calcium-deficient diet for 2 weeks. Deletion of Grem1 in mature osteoclasts did not affect developmental bone growth nor basal bone turnover.

IQ Health Science Department, Radboud university medical center, Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands.
Objectives: In the intensive care unit (ICU), antibiotics are often given longer than recommended in guidelines. A better understanding of the factors influencing antibiotic therapy duration is needed to develop improvement strategies to effectively address these drivers of excessive duration. This study aimed to explore the determinants of adherence to recommended antibiotic therapy durations among healthcare professionals involved in antibiotic decision-making within the ICU, focusing on multidisciplinary meetings (MDMs).

Aim: To investigate the associations between nurse staffing levels, nurse educational level, and nurse-sensitive patient outcomes among patients in medical and surgical wards.
Background: Patient outcomes are affected by a variety of factors, including nurse staffing and registered nurse (RN) educational levels. An examination of the associations between these factors and patient outcomes will help identify the impact that nurses make on patient care, including health and safety.
