Introduction: Patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience a great symptom burden. Breathlessness is a very frequently reported symptom that negatively affects all aspects of daily life and could lead to fear of dying. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) could be an important palliative measure to manage breathlessness in patients with advanced COPD. We decided to conduct a scoping review to attain an overview of the existing research and to identify knowledge gaps. This scoping review aims to systematically map published studies on the use of NIV in the palliative care of COPD patients, including the perspectives and experiences of patients, families and healthcare professionals.
Methods And Analysis: This scoping review will employ the framework of Arksey and O'Malley. The reporting will be guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. A comprehensive and systematic search strategy will be developed in cooperation with an experienced librarian. Database searches will be conducted in AMED, PEDro, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo and MEDLINE in February 2021. Pairs of authors will independently assess studies' eligibility and extract data using a standardised data-charting form. The data will be inductively summarised and organised thematically. The results will be discussed with an advisory board consisting of nurses and physicians from respiratory and intensive care units.
Ethics And Dissemination: Approval for the workshop with the advisory board has been attained from the Norwegian Centre for Research Data (480222), and approval will be attained from the Personal Data Protection Officers of the participating hospitals. All advisory board participants will sign an informed written consent before participation. The results could contribute to developing the body of evidence on the use of NIV in the palliative care of COPD patients and serve to identify directions for future research.

Background: Patient self-care is established as improving outcomes, yet acute care in hospitals is provided such that patients tend to be passive recipients of care. Little is known about the extent and type of patient participation in treatment care tasks in acute hospital settings.
Aims: To map and synthesise available literature on self-performance of care tasks in acute hospital settings.

Human outbreaks of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) are more common in Middle Eastern and Asian human populations, associated with clades A and B. In Africa, where clade C is dominant in camels, human cases are minimal. We reviewed 16 studies (n = 6198) published across seven African countries between 2012 and 2024 to assess human MERS-CoV cases.

Kunth is native to tropical America and has invaded tropical and subtropical Asia and numerous Pacific Islands. It forms dense thickets and reduces native species diversity and populations in its introduced range. This invasive vine also seriously impacts many agricultural crops and is listed as one of the world's 100 worst invasive alien species.

Background/objectives: There is current scientific interest pertaining to the therapeutic effects of olive-derived polyphenols (ODPs), in particular their associated anti-inflammatory properties, following the wealth of research surrounding the physiological impact of the Mediterranean Diet (MD). Despite this association, the majority of the current literature investigates ODPs in conjunction with metabolic diseases. There is limited research focusing on ODPs and acute inflammation following exercise, regardless of the knowledge surrounding the elevated inflammatory response during this time.
