AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease are required to make difficult decisions, negotiating between the risks, burdens and benefits for any proposed course. This process can be extremely challenging, since these decisions involve inherent risks, which can impact on survival and quality of life. Shared decision-making offers a patient-centred approach in partnering with patients to make decisions about their treatment, which reflect their values and preferences. Shared decision-making can improve patient preparedness, motivation, satisfaction, and adherence to the treatment or decision agreed upon. In this review article, we outline the key principles of shared decision-making, and provide a framework with communication strategies to facilitate shared decision-making. We highlight the broad range and context of decisions faced by patients in several areas of nephrology care and discuss patient-important outcomes, priorities and motivations that underpin their decision-making. Preserving patient autonomy through shared decision-making ensures close consideration of patient preferences to enhance satisfaction with the decision reached and optimize outcomes important to patients.

Which antidiabetic drugs do patients of T2DM prefer in India and why? A discrete choice experiment.
J Family Med Prim Care
November 2024
Department of General Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Background: Uncontrolled diabetes persists despite guideline-based treatment, partly attributed to inadequate patient involvement. This research addresses shared decision-making by eliciting patient preferences in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) treatment based on certain key attributes and explores their correlation with socio-demographic-clinical profiles.
Methods: A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted among T2DM outpatients in an Indian tertiary care center.

The emerging field of prospective life cycle assessment (pLCA) offers opportunities for evaluating the environmental impacts of possible future consumption shifts. One such shift involves a transition from meat-based to plant-forward diets, acknowledged to mitigate environmental impacts of the food system under present day conditions. Current diets are often meat intensive ("meat-based"), whilst "plant-forward" diets include mainly plant-based foods, encompassing flexitarian, vegetarian, and vegan diets.

Precision diagnosis of cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease for therapeutic interventions.
Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
With the advent of anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody (AAMA) therapy, precision diagnosis is necessary for identifying appropriate patients with cognitive disorders due to Alzheimer's disease. Therapy with AAMAs requires that candidates be diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia, have elevated brain amyloid-β, have good physical, psychiatric, and medical health, and lack clinical or biomarker evidence of potentially impactful non-Alzheimer brain disorders. The first three diagnostic activities are the core of the Clinical Practice Guidelines, but the last element of the precision diagnosis requires new decision-making tools for recognizing multi-etiology cognitive impairment.
