These controllable drug delivery systems can quickly respond to microenvironmental changes (PH, enzyme, etc.) or external stimuli (photo, heat, magnetic or electric fields). Thus, it is to overcome the side effects by controllable drug delivery systems in vivo. In this article, we summarize the various kinds of stimulus-responsive nanocarriers for cancer therapy and discuss its possibilities and challenges in future application.Introduction Women living with HIV in Canada experience barriers to comprehensive HIV care. We sought to describe care gaps across a typology of care. Methods We analyzed baseline data from the Canadian HIV Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health Cohort Study (CHIWOS). A typology of care was characterized by primary HIV physician and care setting. Quality-of-care indicators included the following Pap test, Pap test discussions, reproductive goal discussions, breast cancer screening, antiretroviral therapy (ART) use, adherence, HIV viral load, and viral load discussions. We defined comprehensive care with three indicators Pap test, viral load, and either reproductive goal discussions over last 3 years or breast cancer screening, as indicated. Multivariable logistic regression analyses measured associations between care types and quality-of-care indicators. Results Among women living with HIV accessing HIV care, 56.4% (657/1,164) experienced at least one gap in comprehensive care, most commonly reproductive goal discussions. Women accessed care from three types of care (1) physicians (specialist and family physicians) in HIV clinics (71.6%); (2) specialists in non-HIV clinics (17.6%); and (3) family physicians in non-HIV clinics (10.8%), with 55.5%, 63.9%, and 50.8% gaps in comprehensive care, respectively. Type 3 care had double the odds of not being on ART adjusted odds ratio (AOR 2.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16-3.75), while Type 2 care had higher odds of not having discussed the importance of Pap tests (AOR 1.48, 95% CI 1.00-2.21). Discussion Women continue to experience gaps in care, across types of care, indicating the need to evaluate and strengthen women-centered models of care.Children who present with an abnormal red reflex (ARR) are often referred to ophthalmology due to concern for retinoblastoma. However, an ARR can indicate a wide variety of pathologies, all of which have the potential to develop amblyopia and irreversible vision loss. In this retrospective cohort study, we demonstrate that children who presented with an ARR had a mean age of 22.0 ± 32.5 months and were more frequently referred by their pediatricians (74.5%). The majority of these patients (61.8%) had a normal examination on further evaluation, followed by refractive error (20.4%). Amblyopia was diagnosed in 83.9% of patients with refractive error, with a mean age of 50.3 ± 49.2 months. Because many ARR-associated pathologies require time-sensitive treatment to prevent vision loss, proper screening is critical for diagnosis. Pediatricians play a key role in screening, so education on more common ARR pathologies can better facilitate referrals and improve outcomes.This study evaluates the impact of a 6-month care management intervention for 206 children diagnosed with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from a sample of 321 five- to 12-year-old children recruited for treatment of behavior problems in 8 pediatric primary care offices. Practices were cluster-randomized to Doctor Office Collaboration Care (DOCC) or Enhanced Usual Care (EUC). Chart reviews documented higher rates of service delivery, prescription of medication for ADHD, and titration in DOCC (vs EUC). Based on complex conditional models, DOCC showed greater acute improvement in individualized ADHD treatment goals and follow-up improvements in quality of life and ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder goals. Medication use had a significant effect on acute and follow-up ADHD symptom reduction and quality of life. Medication continuity was associated with some long-term gains. A collaborative care intervention for behavior problems that incorporated treatment guidelines for ADHD in primary care was more effective than psychoeducation and facilitated referral to community treatment.This editorial provides an overview of secondary data analysis in nursing science and its application in a range of contemporary research. The practice of undertaking secondary analysis of qualitative and quantitative data is also discussed, along with the benefits, risks and limitations of this analytical method.Background There has been increasing interest in using videoconferencing in health care, but limited research was conducted in Binge Eating Disorder (BED) patients. This 3-month pilot study aimed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a videoconferencing (VC)-based treatment program in overweight and obese females with BED. Methods Eighteen participants, aged 20-73, were diagnosed and randomized into either a face-to-face (F2F) group or a VC-based group. In the F2F group, participants received 12 one-on-one weekly counseling sessions from a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. In the VC group, participants received the same counseling through an online telemedicine software. buy Compound Library Measured outcomes include retention, adherence to treatment, and attitudinal and behavioral changes of participants. Results In the end of study, of the 9 participants randomized into each group, 8 (88.9%) F2F participants and 4 (44.4%) VC participants completed the study. On average, F2F finishers attended 94.8% of sessions and completed 66.2% of dietary diaries. VC finishers attended 95.8% of sessions and completed 55.4% of diaries. No changes in weight and binge eating episode were observed in either group. F2F finishers had significant improvement on uncontrolled eating (p = 0.01), emotional eating (p = 0.004), food addiction diagnosis (p = 0.04), loss of control (p = 0.04), and clinical significance (p = 0.04). VC finishers observed significant improvements in eating disorder examination shape concern (p = 0.03) and global score (p = 0.03). Conclusion VC-based treatment program is feasible and could be effective for BED patients. Long-term large-scale randomized clinical trials are warranted to further assess the efficacy.
