Neurohospitalists represent a new approach to inpatient neurologic care. In order to characterize this practice, we surveyed both a general neurology sample as well as a sample of pertinent American Academy of Neurology sections. Of the section sample, 42% defined themselves as neurohospitalists, compared to 16% of the general sample. The majority of neurohospitalists are in an academic setting and share call responsibilities with non-neurohospitalists. Many are concerned about the possibility of burnout in their current practice setting. This representative sample of neurohospitalists reveals a diverse group facing a number of unanswered questions and challenges, including concerns for burnout, ideal practice setting, and defining the core curriculum for a neurohospitalist.

Background: There is a paucity of real-world data on patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) that are progressive, other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), including treatment patterns and attitudes toward treatment. This study aimed to investigate the diagnosis, clinical characteristics, treatment paradigm and current decision-making practices of IPF and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) in a Japanese real-world setting.
Methods: Data were drawn from the Adelphi Real World PPF-ILD Disease Specific Programme™, a cross-sectional survey with retrospective data collection of pulmonologists and rheumatologists in Japan from April to October 2022.

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the UAE and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Although early diagnosis contributes to favorable prognoses, novel treatment modalities like antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have significantly broadened the therapeutic landscape for patients in metastatic settings. The recognition of "HER2-low" expression as a targetable category has caused a paradigm shift in the management of breast cancer.

As surgeons, we work in a high-stress, high-stakes environment to take care of our patients. In this setting, it is not uncommon for us to experience microaggressions-subtle or indirect actions or statements that communicate a demeaning or exclusionary message, often unintentionally. Microaggressions can bring us down, taking away from the fulfillment that attracted many of us to this profession.

Hydrophilic coating embolism (HCE) is a rare and underreported complication in neurointerventional practice that can lead to serious medical consequences. Two endovascular procedures were interrupted at our institution after a cloudy liquid content was observed inside the rotating hemostatic valves (RHV) during microcatheter withdrawal. In both cases, the same type of microcatheter (Prowler Select Plus) and RHV (Merit) were being used, and coating dislodgement was suspected.

Background: Health policies promote optimal care, yet policies that address disease-related malnutrition (DRM) are lacking. The purpose of this study was to conduct a scoping review to identify literature on existing and planned policy to address DRM in children or adults and explore the settings, contexts and actors of DRM policy.
Methods: A search strategy comprising DRM and policy keywords was applied to eight databases on 24 February 2023.
