The 40th anniversary of the Oncology Nursing Society is the perfect time to reflect on the role that advanced practitioners in oncology (APOs) play in the care of patients with cancer. APOs have become an important part of cancer care. This group of professionals practicing in various settings includes physician assistants (PAs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), and nurse practitioners (NPs). Areas of practice include inpatient and outpatient settings, emergency departments, surgical centers, and community health clinics (Leonard & Grossman, 2015), as well as academia and pharmaceutical companies. In practice, APOs typically assume a wide range of roles that can involve direct patient care, education (of patients and in a professional capacity), administration, consulting, and research. APOs often take on more than one of these roles. .

The current paper reports the model organization, level of health care, and type of medical and research activities related to the existing heart failure centers of the Italian Society of Cardiology. Of note, we conduced an internal survey among the members of heart failure working group and related hospital and territorial sites about the quality of care and assistance levels according to the local hospital resources and type of diagnostic therapeutic and management resources. Thirty-two hospital ambulatorial structures have been identified, the centers were equally distributed within the national ground, with similar concentration between north and south regions of the Italian country.

The adsorption of radioactive iodine is a critical concern in nuclear safety and environmental protection due to its hazardous nature and long half-life. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as promising materials for capturing radioactive iodine owing to their tunable porosity, high surface area, and versatile functionalization capabilities. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the application of COFs in the adsorption of radioactive iodine.

Background: Despite the promise wearable technology offers through detailed insight into mobility and fall risk, timely identification of high risk, assessment of risk severity, evaluation of clinical interventions, and potential to redefine the assessment of behaviours which influence health, they are not routinely used in clinical practice.
Objective: Establish consensus on how wearable technology can be applied to support clinical care for people aged 50 and over experiencing changes to mobility and/or who are at increased risk of falling.
Methods: A Delphi study was conducted among 17 hospital-based health professionals.
