AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Aim: Research suggests that early access to quality care is essential to improving bacteraemia outcomes and reducing the risk of developing sepsis because it allows for early intervention. Currently, there are limited data regarding the facilitators and barriers that alter the trajectory of arrival at the hospital when patients in the United States experience symptoms of bacteraemia and sepsis. This study sought to explore and describe the facilitators and barriers to seeking care for suspected bacteraemia and sepsis symptoms.
Design: A qualitative descriptive study.
Methods: Ten men and women were recruited using convenience sampling. The study used audio-recorded semi-structured interviews and the collection of socio-demographic data as the data collection techniques. Thematic analysis was used, including inductive and deductive approaches, to analyse the data.
Results: During data analysis, the codes related to barriers and facilitators were collapsed into three themes-symptom recognition, psychosocial support and healthcare planning and coordination.
Patient Contribution: The patients' participation in the study has contributed to our understanding of patients' perspectives and experiences in the pre-hospital phase and provides important insights into what barriers and facilitators are encountered. Study findings highlight the need to develop interventions to improve patient decision time, patient-provider interactions and knowledge of bacteraemia and sepsis through patient and provider education.

Effective communication is crucial in multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) within palliative care, where patient needs can be complex and multifaceted. This article examines the significance of communication in promoting collaborative, patient-centered care while addressing challenges such as professional jargon, hierarchical barriers, and the emotional strain associated with end-of-life care. Leadership plays a vital role in creating an environment of open dialogue, reducing hierarchical dynamics, facilitating conflict resolution, and supporting the emotional well-being of team members.

Patients admitted to Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) have their non-medical needs provided by caregivers called "attendants" who are predominantly female family members. This provides a unique opportunity to provide free screening among attendants during their free time at the hospital. The objective of this qualitative focus group study was to understand knowledge of and facilitators and barriers to cervical cancer screening among attendants at the UCI.

The effect of digestion on nanocarriers will affect the release and pharmacological effects of bioactive compounds in delivery systems. The digestion of cellulose is limited to gut microbiota, which offers a new research strategy for targeted delivery of bioactive compounds. Herein, positively charged cellulose-like chitosan/polyvinylpyrrolidone nanofiber was prepared to improve the residence time, colon target and gut microbiota regulation activity of quercetin decorated selenium nanoparticles (QUE@SeNPs/CS/PVPNFs).

Objectives: Pregnant women had a large demand for diagnosis and treatment, but the clinical research was not sufficient, and there were many barriers for pregnant women to participate in clinical research. This study aimed to systematically identify these barriers and facilitators, map them with Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and Behavior Change Techniques (BCTs) to inform the development of interventions promoting pregnant women's involvement in clinical research.
Methods: This was a mixed-methods systematic review.
