Background: In paediatric palliative care, children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions, their families, and their health care professionals often face difficult decisions about treatment, goals of care, and delivery of care. Advance care planning and shared decision-making are strategies that can improve quality of care by discussing goals and preferences on future care. In this paper, we provide recommendations that aim to optimise advance care planning and shared decision-making in paediatric palliative care in the Netherlands.

: Lateral ankle injuries are commonly encountered injuries, and the open modified Broström operation (OMBO) is the primary treatment option. Recently, an arthroscopic modification of the Broström operation (AMBO) was developed; many studies have shown that there are no significant differences in clinical and radiological outcomes between the two surgical methods. However, no studies have been conducted comparing the two surgical methods in terms of return to play (RTP) time.

Circular bacteriocins form a distinct group of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) characterized by their unique head-to-tail ligated circular structure and functional properties. They belong to the ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) family. The ribosomal origin of these peptides facilitates rapid diversification through mutations in the precursor genes combined with specific modification enzymes.
