Survivors seen for SCP visits report a wide range of concerns at the end of active curative-intent treatment but may not necessarily accept materials or referrals for their concerns within the context of these visits. Our findings highlight the importance of exercise, physical rehabilitation, and nutrition interventions for survivors following active curative-intent treatment. Further study is needed to elucidate the reasons for acceptance vs. non-acceptance of resources addressing reported concerns.Maintaining the health of survivors requires communication, collaboration and care coordination between oncology and primary care. Primary care clinicians have been acknowledged as important recipients of survivorship care plans (SCPs); however, current SCP templates have not been evaluated for usefulness in the primary care context. We surveyed and interviewed primary care clinicians from a rural research network regarding SCP content, format and layout (phase 1), and potential use and clinical workflows around SCPs (phase 2). Based on these data, an existing SCP template was iteratively redesigned to better support survivorship care in the primary care setting. A total of 13 clinicians (9 MDs, 4 APPs) participated. Interviewees advocated for maintaining a single SCP document shared by survivors and clinicians. Changes to the SCP template included prioritizing follow-up over summary of treatment and removing or down-playing screening recommendations not impacted by cancer or cancer treatment. The re-engineered SCP was regarded as highly relevant for survivors, but clinicians noted the significant effort to "disassemble" SCPs in order to enter the information into on the receiving health record. Primary care clinicians value the information in SCPs but had important recommendations regarding content, layout, and format.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of an internist physician specialized in diabetes, appointed as an in-house physician in the orthopedic wards, on improving clinical outcomes and in particular 30-day mortality.

We analyzed a cohort of patients hospitalized more than 24h in the orthopedic service. The analyses included a comparative analysis between the pre- and post-intervention time periods and an interrupted time series (ITS) analysis, which were conducted in stratification to three populations whole population, patients with at least one chronic disease and/or older than 75years of age and patients diagnosed with diabetes. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality following the hospitalization.

A total of 11,546 patients were included in the study, of which 19% (2212) were hospitalized in the post intervention period. Although in the comparative analysis there was no significant change in 30-day mortality, in the ITS there was a decrease in the mortality trend during the post intervention period in the entire and chronic disease/elderly populations, compared to no change during the pre-intervention period a post-intervention slope of -0.14(p value < 0.001) and -0.11(p value = 0.03), respectively. Additionally, we found decrease in length of stay, increase in transfers to the internal medicine department with a negative trend, increase in HbA1c testing during the hospitalization and changes in diabetes drugs administration.

The presence of an internist in the orthopedic wards is associated with health care improvement; decrease in the 30-day mortality trend, decrease in length of stay, increase in HbA1c testing during the hospitalization and an increase in diabetes drugs administration.

Numerous articles support the potential of human AT-MSC-EVs as a new therapeutic option for treatment of diverse diseases in the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, kidney, skin, and immune system, among others. This approach makes use of the molecules transported inside of EVs, which play an important role in cell communication and in transmission of macromolecules. However, to our knowledge, there is no database where essential information about AT-MSC-EVs cargo molecules is gathered for easy reference. The aim of this study is to describe the different molecules reported so far in AT-MSC- EVs, their main molecular functions, and biological processes in which they are involved. Recently, the presence of 591 proteins and 604 microRNAs (miRNAs) has been described in human AT-MSC-EVs. The main molecular function enabled by both proteins and miRNAs present in human AT-MSC-EVs is the binding function. Signal transduction and gene silencing are the biological processes in which a greater number of proteins and miRNAs from human AT-MSC-EVs are involved, respectively. In this review we highlight the therapeutics effects of AT-MSC-EVs related with their participation in relevant biological processes including inflammation, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, apoptosis and migration, among others.Deep brain stimulation (DBS), specifically thalamic DBS, has achieved promising results to reduce seizure severity and frequency in pharmacoresistant epilepsies, thereby establishing it for clinical use. The mechanisms of action are, however, still unknown. We evidenced the brain networks directly modulated by centromedian (CM) nucleus-DBS and responsible for clinical outcomes in a cohort of patients uniquely diagnosed with generalized pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Preoperative imaging and long-term (2-11 years) clinical data from ten generalized pharmacoresistant epilepsy patients (mean age at surgery = 30.8 ± 5.9 years, 4 female) were evaluated. Volume of tissue activated (VTA) was included as seeds to reconstruct the targeted network to thalamic DBS from diffusion and functional imaging data. CM-DBS clinical outcome improvement (> 50%) appeared in 80% of patients and was tightly related to VTAs interconnected with a reticular system network encompassing sensorimotor and supplementary motor cortices, together with cerebellum/brainstem.
