The BITTEN theoretical framework of trauma-informed healthcare proposes that each patient presents to a healthcare encounter with a baseline level of historical institutional etrayal and trauma exposure that interacts with their ndicator for healthcare engagement to potentially rigger trauma symptoms, impacting patients' rust in healthcare providers and shaping their current and future xpectations of and eeds for healthcare. The current study sought to test and extend components of the BITTEN theoretical framework to better understand the link between trauma exposure (childhood trauma and institutional betrayal) and healthcare engagement. Results largely supported the propositions of the BITTEN theoretical framework: childhood trauma was directly related to healthcare avoidance behaviors. The relation between childhood trauma and healthcare avoidance was partially mediated by patients' reduced trust in healthcare providers. Further, the relation between childhood trauma and reduced trust in healthcare providers was potentiated by experiences of institutional betrayal. Interpreting patients' interactions with healthcare providers and the healthcare system as a whole in light of their interpersonal and institutional trauma histories is needed to more fully embody trauma-informed healthcare. The BITTEN theoretical framework of trauma-informed healthcare appears to be a viable foundation for developing a trauma-informed understanding of patients' healthcare engagement.

The aim of this study is to determine the mediating role of moral sensitivity in the effect of nurses' professional values on missed nursing care. A descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 640 nurses working in the inpatient units of a public and a private hospital with the MISSCARE Survey-Turkish, the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire, and the Revised Nursing Professional Values Scale. Data analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences 26.

Around one-quarter of all patients undergoing cardiac procedures, particularly those on cardiopulmonary bypass, develop cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). This complication increases the risk of several serious morbidities and of mortality, representing a significant burden for both patients and the healthcare system. Patients with diminished kidney function before surgery, such as those with chronic kidney disease, are at heightened risk of developing CSA-AKI and have poorer outcomes than patients without preexisting kidney injury who develop CSA-AKI.

Early cancer detection substantially improves the rate of patient survival; however, conventional screening methods are directed at single anatomical sites and focus primarily on a limited number of cancers, such as gastric, colorectal, lung, breast, and cervical cancer. Additionally, several cancers are inadequately screened, hindering early detection of 45.5% cases.

A real-time approach for surgical activity recognition and prediction based on transformer models in robot-assisted surgery.

Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg

January 2025

Advanced Medical Devices Laboratory, Kyushu University, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka, 819-0382, Japan.

Purpose: This paper presents a deep learning approach to recognize and predict surgical activity in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS). Our primary objective is to deploy the developed model for implementing a real-time surgical risk monitoring system within the realm of RAMIS.

Methods: We propose a modified Transformer model with the architecture comprising no positional encoding, 5 fully connected layers, 1 encoder, and 3 decoders.

Young Adults with Type 1 Diabetes' Clinical Outcomes and Satisfaction Related to the Use of Videoconferencing for Type 1 Diabetes Healthcare: A Narrative Review.

Diabetes Ther

January 2025

Departamento de Endocrinología y Metabolismo, Unidad de Investigación en Enfermedades Metabolicas, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición, Salvador Zubirán, Mexico City, Mexico.

Introduction: Young adulthood is well documented as being a particularly challenging area of type 1 diabetes (T1D) healthcare. Many young adults with T1D (YAT1D) are distracted from effective disease self-management; T1D healthcare service engagement can be problematic and inconsistent, and high rates of unplanned healthcare contacts prevail. Video conferencing use can facilitate services to be flexible and responsive.
