Purpose: To investigate why nurse anesthetists and operating room nurses choose to stay in the same workplace.
Design: Qualitative design.
Methods: Individual interviews were conducted with 15 nurse specialists from four hospitals in Sweden. Two men and 13 women aged between 43 and 63 participated. Data were analyzed with systematic text condensation according to Malterud.
Findings: Three themes were identified. (1) Organizational stability contributed to low staff turnover, with good spirits between colleagues, representing everyone's equal value and resulting in a feeling of homelikeness. (2) Sustained development in one's own profession. (3) A humane head nurse who was at hand, who was a facilitator, who knew staff members, and eliminated obstacles for them.
Conclusions: In a nonhierarchical and stable organization with a head nurse with caritative leadership skills, a welcoming working environment with opportunities for professional development is created. Thus, nurse specialists choose to stay, contributing to organizational development.

Overground robotic exoskeleton vs conventional therapy in inpatient stroke rehabilitation: results from a pragmatic, multicentre implementation programme.
J Neuroeng Rehabil

Division of Rehabilitation Medicine, Department of Medicine, National University Hospital, Singapore, Singapore.
Background: Despite the reported efficacy of overground robotic exoskeleton (ORE) for rehabilitation of mobility post-stroke, its effectiveness in real-world practice is still debated. We analysed prospectively collected data from Improving Mobility Via Exoskeleton (IMOVE), a multicentre clinical implementation programme of ORE enrolling participants with various neurological conditions and were given options to choose between 12 sessions of ORE or conventional therapy (control).
Methods: This is analysis of participants under IMOVE who fulfilled the following criteria (i) primary diagnosis was stroke (ischemic, hemorrhagic; first or recurrent), (ii) onset of stroke was within 9 months and (iii) the intervention was during inpatient stay.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the characteristics and outcomes of patients with an aortoduodenal fistula (ADF) who underwent surgical treatment at a single institution.
Materials And Methods: The data of patients diagnosed with ADF at the Yonsei University Gangnam Severance Hospital, South Korea, between 2019 and 2022 were included. Primary repair and segmental resection of the duodenum with duodeno-jejunostomy were the two main methods used to repair ADF.
Customizing subcutaneous immunoglobulin administration in primary antibody deficiency: patient-centric care perspectives.
Immunotherapy

Division of Basic and Clinical Immunology, University of California, Irvine, CA, USA.
This report delves into the challenges and potential solutions associated with flexible, customized subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) infusion regimens for patients with primary antibody deficiency disease (PAD). Advances in the treatment of inborn errors of immunity, particularly PAD, have converted fatal diseases into chronic, complex, long-term conditions that make adherence to treatment a critical issue. Conventional SCIG infusion regimens, while clinically effective, may not always align with the varied lifestyles, changing lifestyles and commitments of patients which can lead to missed doses, diminishing adherence thus posing potential health risks and compromising the overall effectiveness of treatment.

Both heart failure and type 2 diabetes are prevalent conditions and share similar pathogenesis, risk factors, and treatment medications. This review aims to inform clinical practice by summarizing the interaction between heart failure and type 2 diabetes, as well as the medications used to manage them. Novel medications such as Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-likepeptide-1 receptor agonists, and finerenone have been shown to protect patients with type 2 diabetes from hospitalization for heart failure.

Background Cardio-cerebral infarction (CCI) belongs to an area of growing interest within cerebrovascular medicine as it refers to the concurrence of acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) usually within 72 hours. A scenario where both the heart and brain sustain a catastrophic ischaemic insult can be devastating. We describe the incidence, treatment, and outcomes of CCI patients from a North London Hyper-Acute Stroke Unit (HASU) over two years and propose a potential treatment algorithm for the treatment of CCI.
