Purpose: To identify the theory, knowledge, and practical applications that clinical nurse specialists should consider adding to their "toolkit" to support them in caring for people affected by cancer with young children.
Data Sources: Expert opinion and relevant studies on the topic formed the basis of this article.
Conclusion: A conversation with experts identified five key areas of knowledge important to supporting clinical nurse specialists in caring for people affected by cancer with young children: family-centered and systemic practice, nursing responsibilities and competencies, trauma-informed practice, adult life stages, and stages of child development. Key areas identified have relevance to all healthcare professionals working in cancer care.
Implications For Nursing Practice: This article provides a useful overview of psychological theories important to supporting healthcare professionals in caring for people affected by cancer. A discussion on the boundaries and competencies of the nursing role led to agreement about practical advice rooted in theory and knowledge that could benefit clinical practice. Concepts of emotional labor and the wounded healer were identified as important to inform reflection and supervision when caring for a parent affected by cancer who has a young family.

Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common diabetes-related complication with unclear underlying pathological mechanisms. Although recent studies have linked glycolysis to various pathological states, its role in DN remains largely underexplored.
Methods: In this study, the expression patterns of glycolysis-related genes (GRGs) were first analyzed using the GSE30122, GSE30528, and GSE96804 datasets, followed by an evaluation of the immune landscape in DN.

Background: Informal caring is associated with mental health deterioration among young people and impacts their help-seeking ability. Social network can provide social support and mitigate the impact of informal care. However, young carers may avoid identification and withdraw from social networks.

CTNNA1 codes α-1 catenin, a molecule that functions in intercellular adhesion in combination with E-cadherin (coded by CDH1). A germline pathogenic variant (GPV) of CTNNA1 increases the risk of hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC); however, this GPV has not been reported in Japan. A 35-year-old Japanese man with an advanced gastric cancer underwent comprehensive genome profiling (CGP), which led to the detection of a CTNNA1 GPV (p.

The scope of neck lymph node dissection remains controversial for unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma (UPTC) patients with no clinical evidence of lymph node metastasis (cN0). This study aims to build and validate a model for predicting central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in UPTC patients through preoperative basic information and intraoperative rapid frozen pathology results. Retrospective analysis covered 1928 patients with PTC from the Wuhan Union Hospital database (2010-2020), randomly split into training and validation sets in a 7:3 ratio.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the platelet indices for the diagnosis of acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in pregnant women.
Materials And Methods: Pregnant women aged 20-45 years who presented to the emergency room with leg pain and edema and underwent bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler examination for DVT were included in the study. Platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR), platelet distribution width (PDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV) values, which provide information on current platelet activity in the hemogram parameters recorded at first presentation in the emergency department, were analyzed between the two groups.
