AI Article Synopsis
- Advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment are leading to higher survival rates, but this has also resulted in more patients developing spinal metastases (SM).
- Multidisciplinary care models have been shown to improve the management and safety of SM patients, focusing on three main goals: enhancing outcomes, improving patient experiences, and reducing costs.
- The paper discusses strategies for creating a collaborative program for SM management, providing guidance for healthcare providers, patients, caregivers, and practice managers on accessing relevant resources.
Article Abstract
As the diagnosis and treatment of systemic cancers continues to improve, increased patient survival has resulted in a rise in the number of patients who develop spinal metastases (SM). Within many areas of oncology, utilization of multidisciplinary care models in the management and decision making of SM patients has proven effective for optimizing care and improving patient safety. Three main goals of an effective clinical pathway include improving outcomes and quality, improving the patient experience, and lowering cost. This paper outlines the strategies employed to optimally establish such a collaborative program for the management of patients with SM, as well as direct providers in and out of the field, patients and caregivers, and practice managers to the appropriate resources.

Background: Early identification of gestational diabetes mellitus is essential for improving maternal and neonatal outcomes. While risk factors such as advanced maternal age, elevated pre-pregnancy body mass index, multiparity, and a history of gestational diabetes have been recognized, the role of serum biomarkers remains uncertain. This study explores the predictive value of early-pregnancy laboratory findings in conjunction with maternal demographic and clinical characteristics for gestational diabetes mellitus.

Background: Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) incidents present rare and complex challenges for Emergency Medical Services (EMS), necessitating effective incident command to manage occupational and patient safety risks. EMS incident commanders must make quick decisions under pressure, coordinating medical responses and ensuring personnel's safety. This study examined the perceived competence requirements of Finnish EMS field supervisors in managing C and E incidents.

Background: Health-related Quality of life (HRQoL) assessment is essential for optimizing patient care, treatment adjustments, and medical decision-making, particularly in post-Myocardial Infarction (MI) patients, but limited data exists on HRQOL post-MI from Pakistan. This study aimed to assess HRQoL and its determinants in the Pakistani population.
Methods: A single-center cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan.

Fluorescence-guided surgeries, including tumor resection and tissue soldering, are advancing the frontiers of surgical precision by offering enhanced control that minimizes tissue damage, improving recovery and outcomes. However, integrating fluorescence visualization with real-time temperature monitoring remains a challenge, limiting broader clinical use. We address this issue with an augmented reality (AR) visor that combines nanomaterial excitation, fluorescence detection, and temperature monitoring.

Cancer survivors (CS) often experience treatment-related side effects, such as fatigue, and have reduced physical function. Regular physical activity has been demonstrated to reduce these symptoms and improve cardiopulmonary fitness. Digital solutions are needed to optimize exercise options for CS in aftercare, especially given the significant limitations during the Covid-19 pandemic.
