Background: Delirium frequently occurs in palliative care settings, yet its screening, identification, and management remain suboptimal in clinical practice. This review aims to elucidate the barriers preventing healthcare professionals from effectively screening, recognizing, and managing delirium in adult patients receiving specialist palliative care, with the goal of developing strategies to enhance clinical practice.
Methods: A mixed-methods systematic review was conducted (PROSPERO: CRD42024563666).

There has been a recent influx in the development of novel measures of structural forms of discrimination, including structural racism, xenophobia, sexism, heterosexism, and cisgenderism. These systems of power and oppression are inherently interdependent and mutually constitutive, yet a paucity of research has investigated their joint impacts; this gap is likely reflective of the limited guidance that exists regarding how to effectively combine multiple measures of structural discrimination to examine their joint impacts on population health and health inequities. In this commentary, we seek to redress this by describing conceptual and methodologic considerations for population health researchers interested in conducting quantitative structural intersectionality research - an intersectionality-informed research approach focused on examining how systems of power and oppression intersect to shape population health and health inequities.

This work aims to evaluate the potential and limits of adhesiveness measurement using a texturometer to assess the ropiness of acid dairy gels for starter selection. Commercial yogurts of various formulations and textures were used to assess the ability of adhesiveness to detect ropiness and to compare performance of different probes. Chemically acidified gels using different concentrations of glucono-delta-lactone (GDL) were tested to determine the effect of pH on adhesiveness.
