We have formed a team consisting of plastic surgeons, dental specialists, Ear, Nose and Throat surgeons and speech therapists. Thus all the clinical needs of the patient can be provided for in the one hospital. The team meets regularly to examine the patients, assess what further treatment is required and to evaluate and criticise the work done on each case up to date. One of the most significant features of the team approach is that it makes possible the keeping of good records. Using this as a foundation a team drawn from various disciplines can assess the progress of the patient as he grows and develops. Changes in treatment can be monitored over the years and the results of new techniques thoroughly assessed.

Decentralized Management of Home Care Services for Seniors: Protocol for a Participatory Action Research.
JMIR Res Protoc
January 2025
Université de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, QC, Canada.
Background: The centralization of decision-making power in the public health care system has a negative impact on the practice of professionals and the quality of home care services (HCS) for seniors. To improve HCS, decentralized management could be a particularly promising approach. To be effective, strategies designed to incorporate this management approach require attention to 3 elements: autonomy of local stakeholders, individual and organizational capacities, and accountability for actions and decisions.

A previous study classifies solid tumors based on collagen deposition and immune infiltration abundance, identifying a refractory subtype termed armored & cold tumors, characterized by elevated collagen deposition and diminished immune infiltration. Beyond its impact on immune infiltration, collagen deposition also influences tumor angiogenesis. This study systematically analyzes the association between immuno-collagenic subtypes and angiogenesis across diverse cancer types.

Jasmonic acid (JA), ethylene (ET) and salicylic acid (SA) are the three major phytohormones coordinating plant defense responses, and all three are implicated in the defense against the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum. However, their distinct modes of action and possible interactions remain unknown, in part because all spatial information on their activity is lacking. Here, we set out to probe this spatial aspect of plant immunity by using live-microscopy with newly developed fluorescence-based transcriptional reporter lines.

Brain Spine
October 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital of Dijon Bourgogne, Dijon, France.
Introduction: The introduction of intraoperative fluorophores represented a significant advancement in neurosurgical practice. Nowadays they found different applications: in oncology to improve the visualization of tumoral tissue and optimize resection rates and in vascular neurosurgery to assess the exclusion of vascular malformations or the permeability of bypasses, with real-time intraoperative evaluations.
Research Question: A comprehensive knowledge of how fluorophores work is crucial to maximize their benefits and to incorporate them into daily neurosurgical practice.
Types of Complications and Associated Factors in Patients Undergoing Permanent Cardiac Pacemaker Implantation: A Systematic Review.
J Multidiscip Healthc
January 2025
Nursing Department, Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, West Jawa, Indonesia.
Background: Permanent Pacemaker (PPM) implantation is essential in treating cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders, especially in patients with heart failure. Although PPM has been proven to improve quality of life and prolong life expectancy in patients with cardiac conduction disorders, post implantation complications still often occur.
Purpose: This study aimed to identify types of complications and associated predictors in patients undergoing PPM implantation.
