49 [0.41-0.58]). PwO who reported being motivated to lose weight were more likely to exercise ≥5 times a week versus <1 time a week (2.77 [2.09-3.68]) than those who reported they were not motivated.
Positive interactions with HCPs, self-efficacy, setting goals and knowledge of the importance of weight management, in addition to regular exercising, may increase PwO motivation for weight loss. Appropriate HCP support may help PwO who are ready to engage in weight management.

Arterial lactate is an established risk marker in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE). However, its clinical applicability is limited by the need of an arterial puncture. Transmembrane Transporters inhibitor In contrast, venous lactate can easily be measured from blood samples obtained via routine peripheral venepuncture.
We investigated the prognostic value of venous lactate with regard to in-hospital adverse outcomes and mortality in 419 consecutive PE patients enrolled in a single-center registry between 09/2008 and 09/2017.
An optimised venous lactate cut-off value of 3.3mmol/l predicted both, in-hospital adverse outcome (OR 11.0 [95% CI 4.6-26.3]) and all-cause mortality (OR 3.8 [95%CI 1.3-11.3]). The established cut-off value for arterial lactate (2.0mmol/l) and the upper limit of normal for venous lactate (2.3mmol/l) had lower prognostic value for adverse outcomes (OR 3.6 [95% CI 1.5-8.7] and 5.7 [95% CI 2.4-13.6], respectively) and did not predict mortality. If added to the 2019 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) algorithm, ven specificity in venous samples and should not be used.Evidence of health disparities affecting newborns abounds. Although quality improvement (QI) methodology is often suggested as a tool to advance health equity, the impact of QI initiatives on disparities is variable. QI work may mitigate, worsen, or perpetuate existing disparities. QI projects designed without an intentional focus on equity promotion may foster intervention-generated inequalities that further disadvantage vulnerable groups. This article reviews disparities in perinatal and neonatal care, the impact of QI on health disparities, and the concept of "Equity-Focused Quality Improvement" (EF-QI). EF-QI differs from QI with an equity lens in that it is action-oriented and centered around equity. EF-QI initiatives purposely integrate equity throughout the fabric of the project and are inclusive, collaborative efforts that foreground and address the needs of disadvantaged populations. EF-QI principles are applicable at every stage of project conception, execution, analysis, and dissemination, and may provide opportunities for reducing disparities in neonatal care.Metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) carries a poor prognosis and a 5-year overall survival of less than 5%, despite standard of care therapy using cisplatin-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Thus, novel agents that improve survival and have an acceptable toxicity profile are urgently needed. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising new treatment option that utilizes the targeting ability of an antibody to deliver cytotoxic drugs directly to tumors. Many ADCs are currently being investigated for treatment of UC, with enfortumab vedotin being recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment of metastatic UC with progressive disease after chemotherapy and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors. Overall, ADCs hold promise as a long-awaited treatment option for UC.
To explore parental perspectives on the ideals and realities of family mealtimes.
Mini-focus groups (n = 7).
Rural Colorado, US.
Parents (n = 30) were recruited at Head Start/preschool centers.
Parent perspectives on mealtimes with preschool-aged children.
Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Three categories of themes emerged participant conceptions of ideal family meals, challenges to achieving their ideal family meal, and parental solutions. The theme of participant conceptions of ideal family meals composed family togetherness, children liking and eating the prepared food, healthfulness of food, and a nonchaotic mealtime. Challenges to achieving their ideal family meal included work schedules, disruptive child behaviors, child pickiness, snacking, and negative role-modeling. Finally, parental solutions to challenges incorporated having flexible meal timings, considering child preferences in premeal preparations, role-modeling, and numerous other parenting strategies.
While parents valued many aspects of a version of the ideal meal rooted in historical standards, families faced many challenges in trying to attain that ideal. Although parents employed various strategies to combat mealtime challenges, parental expectations for preschool-aged children's mealtime behaviors may be unrealistic for the developmental stage of early childhood. Future interventions could help parents develop age-appropriate mealtime expectations.

Comprehensive medication management (CMM) is a clinical service based on the theoretical and methodological framework of pharmaceutical care. Service blueprint is one of the most widespread visual tools of service design. It enables description of the processes involved in service provision that ultimately define patient experience. Although studies have shown the clinical, humanistic and economic benefits of CMM, its provision still involves several challenges, which can be minimized with the proper mapping of this service. However, this initiative has not yet been described in the literature using this specific tool.
To develop, apply and improve a blueprint for CMM services delivered in the ambulatory setting.
This qualitative study was organized in two phases. In phase 1, two expert panels were carried out to jointly create a generic service blueprint-model for CMM on ambulatory care involving nine specialists with diverse experiences in the area. In phase 2, the generic model was applied and improved in a public rheumatology clinic.
