Aim: This study aimed to explore the barriers to the implementation of patient-centred care (PCC) in the cardiac care unit (CCU) from the perspectives of patients, nurses, physicians and nursing managers.

Design: This study was performed with a descriptive qualitative study approach.

Methods: In this study, the data were collected through face-to-face in-depth semi-structured interviews with 10 cardiac care nurses, one assistant nurse, two cardiologists, seven patients admitted to the CCU and nine nursing managers and analysed by Graneheim and Lundman content analysis method.

Results: After analysing the data, eight subcategories and three main categories were extracted. The main categories included challenges related to: organization, healthcare providers and patients. This study demonstrated the barriers to the implementation of PCC in the CCU. Insights into these barriers can guide interventions aimed at improving the quality of PCC in the CCU, which in turn can lead to improved disease outcomes.

Background: Within the last decade, system and policy-level changes have driven substantial shifts in heart failure (HF) care from hospital to home, requiring greater support from informal care partners. What has not been examined is the state of the care partner science by person and system-level domains using qualitative studies to understand impact across multiple person and system levels.

Objectives: (1) Identify by person and system levels and domain what is known about informal care partners and (2) Identify gaps in the caregiving science and suggest ways to move forward.

Importance: While corticosteroid administration in septic shock has been shown to result in faster shock reversal and lower short-term mortality, the role of corticosteroids in the management of cardiogenic shock (CS) remains unexplored.

Objectives: Determine the impact of corticosteroid administration on 90-day mortality (primary outcome) in patients admitted to a critical care unit with CS.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this retrospective cohort study, we used the critical care database of Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV, and included all adult patients diagnosed with CS excluding repeated admissions, patients with adrenal insufficiency, those receiving baseline corticosteroids, and those requiring extracorporeal life support.

We argue that Aged Residential Care (ARC) facilities should be allowed to create and adopt an informed "No Chest Compression" (NCC) policy. Potential residents are informed before admission that staff will not provide chest compressions to a pulseless resident. All residents would receive standard choking care, and a fully discussed advance directive would be utilized to determine if the resident wanted a one-minute trial of rescue breaths (to clear their airway) or utilization of the automatic defibrillator in case of arrest.

Background: 4-(4-Cyanophenyl)-2-(2-cyclopentylidenehydrazinyl)thiazole (remodelin) is a potent N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) inhibitor. This compound inhibits tumors and weakens tumor resistance to antitumor drugs. Moreover, remodelin has been found to enhance healthspan in an animal model of the human accelerated ageing syndrome.
