The role of the social, physical, and organisational environments in shaping how patients and their caregivers perform work remains largely unexplored in human factors/ergonomics literature. This study recruited 19 dyads consisting of a parent and their child with type 1 diabetes to be interviewed individually and analysed using a macroergonomic framework. Our findings aligned with the macroergonomic factors as presented in previous models, while highlighting the need to expand upon certain components to gain a more comprehensive representation of the patient work system as relevant to dyadic management. Examples of design efforts that should follow from these findings include expanding existing data sharing options to include information from the external environment and capitalising on the capabilities of artificial intelligence as a decision support system. Future research should focus on longitudinally assessing patient work systems throughout transition periods in addition to more explicitly exploring the roles of social network members.

Parent-led cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an efficient, promising form of therapy that may be well suited for autistic youth with anxiety disorders. A recent clinical trial found that parent-led CBT - in which parents led their child through a guided CBT workbook with varying degrees of therapist support - was efficacious for reducing anxiety and associated functional impairment. While such findings demonstrate promise for future intervention development and dissemination efforts with this population, more work is needed to elucidate clinical factors that impact response to treatment as well as drop-out.

Fatal dengue virus infection in an unvaccinated traveler.

Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis

December 2024

Institute of Virology, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany.

Dengue is an increasing threat to individuals living in or visiting endemic countries. Effective vaccines have become available, but their use in travelers is typically only recommended to individuals with documented prior infection. We present a fatal case of severe dengue in an unvaccinated traveler without known prior dengue virus infection but longitudinal serologic and molecular evidence for secondary infection.

An effective surgical educational system in the era of robotic surgery: "Double-Surgeon Technique" in robotic gastrectomy for minimally invasive surgery.

Langenbecks Arch Surg

December 2024

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2-5-1 Shikata-Cho, Kita-Ku, Okayama City, Okayama, 700-8558, Japan.

Purpose: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major malignancy. Robotic gastrectomy (RG) has gained popularity due to various advantages. Despite those advantages, many hospitals lack the necessary equipment for RG and are still performing laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) due to its established minimal invasiveness and safety.
