Aim: To explore the experiences of haematology clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) when delivering person-centred care (PCC). Particularly, the barriers and facilitators to its delivery, the specialists' understanding of PCC, and how they evaluate its success.
Methods: A total of eight participants were interviewed using semi-structured interviews that were conducted virtually. The interview questions generated qualitative data to explore the experiences of the haematology CNS team. All interviews were recorded, transcribed, and stored in a password-protected folder. The data were then thematically analysed and coded to generate the findings.
Findings: All participants reported a shared understanding of PCC, supporting the current theories and literature surrounding it. They raised factors that acted as both facilitators and barriers towards the delivery of PCC. Additionally, the research identified a lack of awareness and use of methods to evaluate the effectiveness of the care the CNSs delivered.
Conclusions: This study offers an initial exploration into the experiences of haematology CNSs delivering PCC. This understanding could lead to the removal of barriers, thus enhancing the patient experience and quality of care. Recommendations are made to evaluate PCC through involving patients to share their views on what successful PCC means to them, and their ideas on how their nursing team might achieve this.

A fundamental dichotomy in lymphocytes separates adaptive T and B lymphocytes, with clonally expressed antigen receptors, from innate lymphocytes, which carry out more rapid responses. Some T cell populations, however, are intermediates between these 2 poles, with the capacity to respond rapidly through T cell receptor activation or by cytokine stimulation. Here, using publicly available datasets, we constructed linear mixed models that not only define a gradient of innate gene expression in common for mouse innate-like T cells, but also are applicable to other mouse T lymphoid populations.

Background: Multimodal neuromonitoring (MMM) aids early detection of secondary brain injury in neurointensive care and facilitates research in pathophysiologic mechanisms of the injured brain. Invasive ICP monitoring has been the gold standard for decades, however additional methods exist (aMMM). It was hypothesized that local practices regarding aMMM vary considerably and that inter-and intracenter consensus is low.

In recent years, assessing dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) activity has become crucial for cancer patients undergoing 5-fluorouracil (5FU)-based chemotherapy due to the life-threatening toxicity associated with reduced DPD function. The methods for evaluating DPD activity have evolved, with the analysis of DPYD polymorphisms in blood samples becoming the preferred approach. As the indications for liver transplantation are increasing-particularly due to a rise in cases of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and non-resectable colorectal liver metastasis-more cancer patients with a history of liver transplantation may experience disease relapse.

Many patients experience long-term cognitive dysfunction after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and effective treatments are currently lacking. Carbon dioxide (CO2), an inexpensive and easily produced gas, forms carbonic acid when dissolved in water. Studies have suggested that hypercapnia may have neuroprotective effects.
