Supervised Toothbrushing Programmes: Understanding Barriers and Facilitators to Implementation.
Community Dent Oral Epidemiol
January 2025
School of Clinical Dentistry, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK.
Objectives: Supervised toothbrushing programmes (STPs), whereby children brush their teeth at nursery or school with a fluoride toothpaste under staff supervision, are a clinically and cost-effective intervention to reduce dental caries. However, uptake is varied, and the reasons unknown. The aim was to use an implementation science approach to explore the perspectives of key stakeholders on the barriers and facilitators at each level of implementation of STPs.

Int J Surg
January 2025
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Shanghai General Hospital Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, PRC.
Background: The localization of pulmonary nodules is crucial for surgical intervention. However, a safe, simple, and efficient method remains elusive. This study aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a newly developed preoperative localization method for pulmonary nodules called Rapid Localization of Pulmonary Nodules On-Site (RLPN-OS).

Swiss Med Wkly
January 2025
Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Prevention Institute, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Aims: We aimed to explore atrial fibrillation (AF)-induced productivity losses in working-age atrial fibrillation patients and to estimate atrial fibrillation-related indirect costs.
Methods: Between 2014 and 2017, the Swiss Atrial Fibrillation prospective cohort study (Swiss-AF) enrolled 217 working-age patients with documented atrial fibrillation. Self-reported changes in professional activity and the reasons thereof were descriptively analysed over 8 years of follow-up or until patients reached the retirement age.
A PEDOT:PSS-based flexible bimodal resonant sensor with independently controllable modes.
Chem Commun (Camb)
January 2025
College of Electronic and Optical Engineering & College of Flexible Electronics (Future Technology), State Key Laboratory of Organic Electronics and Information Displays, Nanjing University of Posts & Telecommunications (NJUPT), Nanjing, 210023, China.
Traditional sensors struggle in complex human environments, particularly with humidity and strain detection requiring high sensitivity and robust anti-interference. This work introduces a flexible, miniaturized, low-cost dual-mode sensor that combines a novel resonator structure with a chemically modified conducting polymer, enabling simultaneous strain and humidity detection alongside high anti-interference performance sensitivity and wireless transmission.

Swiss Med Wkly
January 2025
Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Ospedale Regionale di Lugano, Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale (EOC), Lugano, Switzerland.
Background: Patients with symptomatic breast hypertrophy typically suffer from chronic back pain, recurrent skin irritation at the inframammary fold and/or low self-esteem resulting in impaired quality of life. Reduction mammaplasty has been shown to effectively treat symptomatic breast hypertrophy with high patient satisfaction. Despite the obvious benefits, reimbursement requests for reduction mammaplasty are initially often refused by the patient's health insurance company, thereby frequently resulting in additional examinations and eventually extra expenses.
