This study aimed to determine dietitians' familiarity with knowledge translation (KT), confidence in undertaking KT, and preferences for receiving KT training. An online questionnaire was designed and disseminated to all dietitians working across hospital and health services in Queensland, Australia, for completion over a 6-week period (April-May 2018). Of the 124 respondents, 69% (n = 85) reported being familiar with KT, but only 28% (n = 35) reported being confident in applying KT to their practice. Higher confidence was reported with problem identification, evidence appraisal, and adapting evidence to local context, compared with implementation, evaluation, and dissemination. Almost all respondents reported an interest in learning more about KT (n = 121, 98%), with a preference for easily accessible and short "snippets" of training aimed at beginner-intermediate level. Lack of management support, difficulty attending multi-day courses, cost, travel requirements, and lack of quarantined time were reported barriers to attending KT training. There is a high awareness and interest but low confidence in undertaking KT amongst dietitians. This highlights an opportunity for workforce development to prepare dietitians to be skilled and confident in KT. Training and support needs to be low-cost and multi-modal to meet diverse needs.

Purpose: To conduct a scoping review of the related research on cognitive frailty (CF) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, so as to provide a basis for early diagnosis, treatment and intervention of CF in MHD patients.
Methods: Utilizing a scoping review approach, we searched PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, the China Biological Medicine Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and Weipu (VIP) for literature on CF in MHD patients up to October 20, 2024. Two researchers conducted independent screening and data extraction of the literature's fundamental characteristics.

Aortic regurgitation is a common valve disease and can be caused by delineated findings such as fenestrations or hardly discernible alterations of the aortic root geometry. Therefore, aortic regurgitation can be a challenging diagnosis during an autopsy. Cardiac surgeons, however, are confronted with comparable problems during surgery and have developed a refined knowledge of the anatomy of the aortic root including its geometry.

Introduction: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can potently inhibit inflammation yet there is a lack of understanding about the impact of donor characteristics on the efficacy of EVs. The goal of this study was to determine whether the sex and age of donor platelet-derived EVs (PEV) affected their ability to inhibit viral myocarditis.
Methods: PEV, isolated from men and women of all ages, was compared to PEV obtained from women under 50 years of age, which we termed premenopausal PEV (pmPEV).
Introduction Awake brain surgery (ABS) is a groundbreaking technique that not only enhances tumor resection but also preserves vital neurocognitive functions, particularly through advanced brain mapping. Despite its success in adults, ABS in pediatric patients remains significantly underexplored, especially concerning the role of speech-language pathology (SLP) in these procedures. This study addresses this gap by providing a thorough examination of SLP interventions in pediatric ABS across various university hospitals, including those in Morocco and internationally.

Purpose: This study aimed to i) identify child and family goals reported in a community allied health service, ii) map goals to ICF domains, and iii) evaluate goal characteristics against child-centred and family-centred practice principles.
Methods: A retrospective study design was used to extract and analyse raw goal data documented for children and families accessing a community-based allied health service. ICF linking rules were used to map goals to the ICF domains.
