Background: Worldwide patient-caregiver concordance on cognitive prognostic awareness (PA) has been extensively examined, but concordance on sufficient (ie, cognitive and emotional) death preparedness is unexplored. We comprehensively examine the evolution of patient-caregiver concordance on death preparedness over the patient's last 6 months.
Materials/methods: This study re-examined data from 2 cohort studies on 694 dyads of cancer patients and their caregivers recruited from a single medical center in Taiwan.

Objective: This study aims to adapt and provide psychometric support for the validation of version B of the Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavioural ALS Screen (ECAS) for the Portuguese population, addressing the need for consistent cognitive evaluations in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A second culturally adapted ECAS screen facilitates the accurate characterization of ALS progression, mitigates learning effects, and supports tailored care management.
Methods: The adaptation process included forward-backward translation, cultural adaptation, and cognitive debriefing on a prospective sample of 193 ALS patients and 106 controls.

Simulation training provides health professions learners access to training not readily available to them and in a manner that does not harm patients. Simulation also supports learners to develop dispositions and professional communication and reflect on their biases. This study examines how learners, clinical education faculty, and simulation professionals reflect on diversity and antiracism in simulation and contextualize these reflections with their lived experience.

Recent studies have revealed the potential of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) to treat solid tumors effectively and safely. However, the translation of TIL therapy for patients is still hampered by non-standardized and laborious manufacturing procedures that are expensive and produce highly variable cellular products. To address these limitations, the CliniMACS Prodigy Tumor Reactive T cell (TRT) Process has been developed.
