How does age impact understanding of epistemic adverbs in health communication?
Geriatr Nurs
January 2025
School of Psychology and Counselling, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia.
Objective: Not much is known about how one's understanding of words may differ with age. Here we explore how epistemic adverbs - as used in health communication to indicate degrees of uncertainty and risk - are understood by older and younger monolingual speakers of Australian English.
Methods: We used an online dissimilarity rating task with sentence pairs presented as first and second doctor opinions which differed only with respect to the embedded epistemic adverbs (e.
Patient Perspectives on the Value of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in the Management of Breast Cancer: The PERSPECTIVE Study.
Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol)
December 2024
Division of Radiotherapy and Imaging, The Institute of Cancer Research, London, UK; Department of Radiotherapy, The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.
Aims: Oligometastatic disease describes limited metastases amenable to therapy such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). This study aims to understand which outcomes are most important to patients when considering SBRT as a treatment option. The insights gained will help inform future patient-directed trial endpoints and provide valuable guidance to clinicians supporting patients through their decision-making process.

Correct measurement results from in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices (MD) are crucial for optimal patient care. The performance of IVD-MDs is often assessed through method comparison studies. Such studies can be compromised by the influence of various factors.

Department of Psychological Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King's College London, London, UK.
Introduction/aims: A previous randomized controlled trial showed that guided self-help acceptance and commitment therapy plus standard medical care (ACT+SMC) was superior to standard medical care alone (SMC) for improving quality of life (QoL) and mood at 9-weeks post randomization in a sample of people with muscle disorders (MD). This follow-up study evaluated whether these effects were maintained in the longer term alongside individual patterns of response.
Methods: The original study was a two-arm parallel group randomized controlled trial, which compared ACT+SMC to SMC.
Consideration of Cybersecurity Risks in the Benefit-Risk Analysis of Medical Devices: Scoping Review.
J Med Internet Res
December 2024
Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Digital Health, Dresden University of Technology, Dresden, Germany.
Background: The integration of connected medical devices (MDs) into health care brings benefits but also introduces new, often challenging-to-assess risks related to cybersecurity, which have the potential to harm patients. Current regulations in the European Union and the United States mandate the consideration of these risks in the benefit-risk analysis (BRA) required for MD approval. This important step in the approval process weighs all the defined benefits of a device with its anticipated risks to ensure that the product provides a positive argument for use.
