Aging family caregivers of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have unique circumstances setting them apart from the general caregiving population. Such differences include the extensive duration of the caregiving, and health concerns that manifest in the caregiver and individuals with IDD over time. Because of increasing longevity, family caregivers are likely to become compound caregivers (i.e., individuals caregiving for multiple people). Almost 70% of family caregivers of individuals with IDD experience compound caregiving, yet we know very little about compound caregiving. In this article, we highlight the importance of supporting compound caregivers by identifying research issues that address current challenges and future directions. Implications for research are noted, including the need for multidimensional outcome measures and longitudinal studies.

Medication safety with oral antitumour therapeutics in paediatrics (youngAMBORA): A mixed-methods approach towards a tailored care program.
PLoS One

Article Synopsis
- - The AMBORA trial showed the benefits of a pharmacological care program for adults using oral antitumour therapeutics (OAT), but similar tailored support for pediatric patients was lacking, leading to the development of the youngAMBORA program.
- - This program was designed using both quantitative data on the types of cancers and OAT used in a pediatric cancer center, and qualitative surveys to gauge the needs of patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers regarding medication application and side effects.
- - Key findings revealed that leukemia is common among pediatric patients, with many expressing a desire for education about oral medication; the program will provide counseling, child-friendly medication support, and evaluate 17 relevant side effects, including some previously unrecognized. *

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is commonly characterized by severe dopamine (DA) depletion within the substantia nigra (SN) leading to a myriad of motor and non-motor symptoms. One underappreciated and prevalent non-motor symptom, Parkinson's disease-associated psychosis (PDAP), significantly erodes patient and caregiver quality of life yet remains vastly understudied. While the gold standard pharmacotherapy for motor symptoms Levodopa (LD) is initially highly effective, it can lead to motor fluctuations like LD-induced dyskinesia (LID) and non-motor fluctuations such as intermittent PDAP.
