A framework for integrating health‐related social needs education into electronic health record clinical pathways

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Health‐related social needs (HRSN) significantly influence patient outcomes, yet they are rarely integrated into point‐of‐care decision‐making. We developed a process to embed HRSN‐informed and HRSN‐targeted care recommendations directly into three electronic health record‐integrated high‐use clinical pathways—cirrhosis, diabetes, and ...

Interviews With Physicians and Nurses Revealed Inconsistencies in Paediatric Basic Life Support Training for Families of Children With Heart Disease in Sweden

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Paediatric basic life support (PBLS) training is strongly recommended for the families of children with elevated risks of cardiac arrest, as their initial survival could rely heavily on bystanders. We explored the perspectives of physicians and nurses on PBLS training and identified perceived barriers and facilitators to implementing ...

Oral factor Xa inhibitors for stroke prevention in patients with device-detected atrial fibrillation – Recent evidence from the NOAH-AFNET 6 and ARTESiA trials

Cardiologia Hungarica
Device-detected atrial fibrillation (AF), also known as atrial high rate episodes, is a frequent finding in patients with a cardiac implantable electronic device such as a pacemaker, or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator or loop recorder.

Refining the treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myocarditis: Challenges, innovations and rechallenge considerations

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)‐associated myocarditis has emerged as a severe and clinically complex immune‐related toxicity that poses significant challenges for therapeutic decision‐making in routine cardio‐oncological care. High‐dose corticosteroids remain the first‐line therapy, yet their timing, dosage and tapering require careful clinical ...
