A Call for Gene Expression Analysis in Whole Blood of Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) as a Biomarker for RA-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease.

Fuente:The Journal of Rheumatology

Extracto: All gene products of these genes (except for LINC02967) are known from the literature to be involved in the pathogenesis of fibrosis. Further, for some, a contribution to the development of pulmonary fibrosis has even been demonstrated in experimental studies. Therefore, the results presented here provide an encouraging perspective for using specific gene expression patterns as biomarkers for the early detection and differential diagnosis of RA-ILD as a routine screening test.

Tipo de trabajo:Revisión

Extracto: Our review demonstrated that while there is a degree of awareness in the existing literature of the potential negative impacts of medical electives to local LMIC students' access to medical education and patient care, continued work is needed to ensure equitable partnerships. We recommend that these ethical themes should be further explored in pre-departure elective teaching courses and post-elective debriefs to increase medical students' awareness of the impact of their presence on host communities.

Extracto: This survey provides an overview of the treatment options for pain management in German hospices. A broad variety of pain medication is used. Compared to international literature, it is debatable whether such a large variety of different types of pain medication is necessary, or whether a reduction in the type of medication available and the use of standardized treatment schemes could benefit everyone involved.

The Diversity Compass: a clinical ethics support instrument for dialogues on diversity in healthcare organizations.

Fuente:Bmc Medical Ethics

Tipo de trabajo:Guía

Extracto: The Diversity Compass seeks to support healthcare professionals and organizations in their efforts to facilitate awareness, moral learning and joint reflection on moral challenges related to diversity and social justice issues. It is the first dialogical CES instrument that specifically acknowledges the role of social location in shaping moral perspectives or experiences with systemic injustices. However, to make healthcare more just, an instrument like the Diversity Compass is not enough on its own. In addition to the Diversity Compass, a systemic and structural approach to social justice issues in healthcare organizations is needed in order to foster a more inclusive, safe and diversity-responsive care and work environment in health care organizations.

Evolution in key indicators of maternal and child health across the wealth gradient in 41 sub-Saharan African countries, 1986-2019.

Fuente:Bmc Medicine

Extracto: Maternal and child health indicators show progress, but the distributional effects show differential evolutions in inequalities. Several reasons may explain why countries had smaller wealth-related gap trends in vaccination-related indicators compared to others. In addition to service delivery differences, we hypothesize that the allocation of development assistance for health, the prioritization of vaccine-preventable diseases on the global agenda, and indirect effects of structural adjustment programs on health system-related indicators might have played a role.
