Aims And Objectives: To develop a patient decision aid and to prepare an overview of requirements for implementation.
Background: We developed a decision aid that fits the preferences of patients and health care professionals to ensure adequate uptake in clinical practice.
Design: A participatory design approach was used to acquire insight into preferences regarding the content and design of a decision aid and into barriers and aspects of the decision aid that facilitate implementation in clinical practice.
Methods: Three focus group interviews with patients, their partners and health care professionals were conducted. A prototype of the decision aid was developed and presented to patients (n = 14) and health care professionals (n = 13) in semi-structured interviews. Patients (n = 5) participated in a usability study. Data were analysed by two independent coders.
Results: Health care professionals considered medical information on treatments and side effects as the most important aspect to be included in the decision aid. Patients also focused on nonmedical considerations, such as location. Both expected the decision aid to support patients in making a treatment choice. According to health care professionals, the oncology nurse was the most suitable to discuss the decision aid with patients, while some patients preferred to discuss the patient decision aid with the urologist. The main barrier to implementation of the decision aid was said to be the expectation that it is time and money consuming, while the incorporation of the decision aid into clinical guidelines and basing the content on these guidelines, would promote implementation.
Conclusions: By using a participatory design approach a patient decision aid was designed to meet patients' and health care professionals' needs. Insight was also gained on requirements for implementation.
Relevance To Clinical Practice: Wide-scale implementation of decision aids is desirable. An overview is provided of requirements for implementation to successfully incorporate a decision aid into clinical practice.

Background: In patients with cancer, those with lower incomes are less likely to participate in clinical trials. A broad-based evaluation of variables that could contribute to this disparity has not been conducted.
Methods: We used data from Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) databases for survey years 2014, 2017, and 2020, the survey years that included questions about whether patients with cancer participated in a clinical trial.

Article Synopsis
- Management options for breech presentation include vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery, and external cephalic version, which require detailed discussions about risks and recovery.
- A decision aid tool for clinicians was created through literature review and expert input, followed by evaluation with obstetricians.
- This tool received unanimous agreement from participants, demonstrating strong consensus and effectiveness in aiding shared decision-making for pregnant women with breech presentations.
Comparison of Paired Immunofluorescent Antibody Serology and Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing for the Detection of Acute Q Fever among Febrile Patients in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, 2012-2014.

Acute Q fever diagnosis via paired serology is problematic because it requires follow-up for convalescent sample collection; as such, it cannot provide a diagnosis to inform a treatment decision at the time of acute presentation. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) may be a useful approach for the diagnosis of acute Q fever in endemic settings. Among febrile patients enrolled in a sentinel surveillance study for Q fever at two referral hospitals in Moshi, Tanzania, from 2012 to 2014, we analyzed those with paired sera for IgG to Coxiella burnetii (C.

Developing a reliable model to predict AMI occurrence in these patients holds the potential to expedite early diagnosis and intervention. This study is aimed at establishing a circulating amino acid-assisted model, incorporating amino acid profiles alongside clinical variables, to predict AMI risk.

-glycosylation plays a crucial role in defining the pharmacological properties and efficacy of therapeutic proteins, commonly referred to as biologics. The inherent complexity and lack of a templated process in glycosylation leads to a wide variation in glycan structures, posing significant challenges in achieving consistent glycan profiles on biologics. This study leverages omics technologies to predict which cell lines are likely to yield optimal glycosylation profiles, based on the existing knowledge of the functional impact of specific glycan structures on the pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and stability of therapeutic antibodies.
