BACKGROUND Since people with advanced dementia are usually not able to make complex decisions, it is usually the family caregivers, as proxies, who have to decide on treatments and their termination. However, these decisions are difficult for the caregivers to make, as they are often inadequately informed and cannot properly assess the consequences; moreover, they are concerned about harming the sick person. We aimed to first develop an informative booklet about palliative care issues for caregivers of people with advanced dementia. Secondly, we aimed to investigate a change in family caregivers' knowledge regarding palliative care issues and caregivers' involvement in medical and care decisions before and after studying this booklet. METHODS A first version of the booklet was drafted by an experienced psychiatrist and palliative care specialist based on existing booklets and guidelines; necessary cultural adaptions were taken into consideration. A nominal group process was conducted to develop the informativrompts decision making and therefore should be developed in many languages and disseminated among family caregivers of people with dementia. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gsk-2837808A.html TRIAL REGISTRATION clinicaltrial.gov, NCT03548142.

The best available interventions, programs and policies designed to address inequities in healthcare are not being adopted in routine practice settings. Implementation science can help address this gap by studying the factors, processes, and strategies at multiple levels of a system of care that influence the uptake, use, and the sustainability of these programs for vulnerable populations. We propose that an equity lens can help integrate the fields of implementation science and research that focuses on inequities in healthcare delivery. MAIN TEXT Using Proctor et al.' (12) framework as a case study, we reframed five elements of implementation science to study inequities in healthcare. These elements include 1) focus on reach from the very beginning; 2) design and select interventions for vulnerable populations and low-resource communities with implementation in mind; 3) implement what works and develop implementation strategies that can help reduce inequities in care; 4) develop the science of adaptations; and 5) use an equity lens for implementation outcomes. CONCLUSIONS The goal of this paper is to continue the dialogue on how to critically infuse an equity approach in implementation studies to proactively address healthcare inequities in historically underserved populations. Our examples provide ways to operationalize how we can blend implementation science and healthcare inequities research.BACKGROUND Sialic acids are widely distributed in animal tissues, and aberrantly expressed in a variety of cancer types. High expression of sialic acid contributes to tumor aggressiveness by promoting cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Sialidases are responsible for removal of sialic acids from glycoproteins and glycolipids. METHODS N-glycomics of bladder cancer cells were detected by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Sialic acid modification in bladder cancer tissue was determined by lectin blot. The down-regulation of NEU1 in bladder cancer cells was determined by high resolution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HR LC-MS). The effects of sialidase NEU1 expression on proliferation and apoptosis of human bladder cancer cells were examined by western blot, RT-PCR, confocal imaging and flow cytometry. Moreover, the function of sialic acids on fibronectin-integrin α5β1 interaction were assayed by immunoprecipitation and ELISA. The importance of NEU1 in tumor formation in vivo was perand treatment of bladder cancer. Video Abstract.BACKGROUND Vitamin D deficiency has long been studied as a risk factor for osteoporosis. However, the association between serum vitamin D status, bone mineral density (BMD) and the incidence of vertebral fractures (OVFs) remain controversial. It is believed that free portion of the circulating vitamin D carries the metabolic activities of vitamin D. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to analyse if free vitamin D correlates with BMD and osteoporotic fragile vertebral fractures in the elderly population. METHODS A total of 90 consecutive patients, including 81 female and 9 male patients, aged > 48 years, were included in this cross sectional study between March and July of 2018. Total vitamin D (total 25(OH)D), free vitamin D (free 25(OH)D), calcium and phosphorus were measured. BMD was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and osteoporotic vertebral fracture was assessed using plain radiograph. Multiple linear regression was performed to find out the association between total vitamin D with BMD at different sites as well as fragile vertebral fracture. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study is registered at clinicaltrials.gov NCT03605173.BACKGROUND The Filling Children's Teeth Indicated Or Not? (FiCTION) randomised controlled trial (RCT) aimed to explore the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of managing dental caries in children's primary teeth. The trial compared three management strategies conventional caries management with best practice prevention (C + P), biological management with best practice prevention (B + P) and best practice prevention alone (PA)-based approaches. Recently, the concept of treatment acceptability has gained attention and attempts have been made to provide a conceptual definition, however this has mainly focused on adults. Recognising the importance of evaluating the acceptability of interventions in addition to their effectiveness, particularly for multi-component complex interventions, the trial design included a qualitative component. The aim of this component was to explore the acceptability of the three strategies from the perspectives of the child participants and their parents. METHODS Qualitative exploration, iii) perceptions of effectiveness (particularly whether pain was reduced). These factors were underpinned by a fourth key factor the notion of trust in the dental professionals - this was pervasive across all arms. CONCLUSIONS Overall children and parents found each of the three strategies for the management of dental caries in primary teeth acceptable, with trust in the dental professional playing an important role.
