Health and social care practitioners have important contributions to make in meeting the needs of fathers. There are specific areas to consider in terms of practice, education and research that require further attention and development to ensure fathers' distinct needs regarding their child's diagnosis of IDD are known and responded to effectively. Relevance to clinical practice This study highlights that when the child's disability is confirmed, fathers experience a diverse range of mixed emotions. Health and social care practitioners including nurses need to be aware of the impact of the diagnosis upon fathers. There is scope to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence of health and social care practitioners regarding the experiences of fathers and how they can further support fathers and their families during the critical time of a disability disclosure.To investigate how variability in multiple pharmacokinetic genes associates with telmisartan exposure, we determined telmisartan single-dose (40 mg) pharmacokinetics and sequenced 379 genes in 188 healthy volunteers. Intronic UGT1A variants showed the strongest associations with the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-∞ ) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax ) of telmisartan. These variants were strongly linked with the increased function UGT1A3*2 allele, suggesting that it is the causative allele underlying these associations. In addition, telmisartan plasma concentrations were lower in men than in women. The UGT1A3*2 was associated with a 64% and 63% reduced AUC0-∞ of telmisartan in UGT1A3*2 heterozygous and homozygous men, respectively (P = 1.21 × 10-16 and 5.21 × 10-8 ). In women, UGT1A3*2 heterozygosity and homozygosity were associated with 57% (P = 1.54 × 10-11 ) and 72% (P = 3.31 × 10-15 ) reduced AUC0-∞ , respectively. Furthermore, a candidate gene analysis suggested an association of UGT1A3*3 and the SLCO1B3 c.767G>C missense variant with telmisartan pharmacokinetics. A genotype score, which reflects the effects of sex and genetic variants on telmisartan AUC0-∞ , associated with the effect of telmisartan on diastolic blood pressure. These data indicate that sex and UGT1A3 are major determinants and suggest a role for OATP1B3 in telmisartan pharmacokinetics.Aims and objectives The aim of this study was to explore nurse navigators and consumers' experience of partnership. Background The nurse navigator has recently emerged as an advanced practice role in the care of persons with complex and chronic disease states. Self-care is an important principle in chronic disease models of care, requiring healthcare practitioners to partner with clients in their care. How nurse navigators and consumers [clients and family] experience partnership has not been explored. Design An interpretive exploratory qualitative approach was used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven nurse navigators working with adults with complex disease states and eleven of their clients. Interviews were analysed using descriptive content analysis. (COREQ checklist Data S1). Results Five themes about partnership emerged. Three themes from nurse navigators were as follows establishing and sustaining relationships, nurse-led planning and aligning care with clients' needs. The two consumeruding when and how to access available services, to ensure the sustainability of the nurse navigator model of care.The year 2020 will mark a once‐in‐a‐century global event the outbreak and pandemic of COVID‐19. On the 31 December 2019 the World Health Organization (WHO) reported a cluster of pneumonia‐like cases of a novel coronavirus zoonosis in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The outbreak was due to a new or novel coronavirus, which would later be called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2).Objectives To evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties and safety of empagliflozin, and the bioequivalence of test formulation empagliflozin tablet compared with the brand-name drug Jardiance (reference formulation) after single oral administration under fasting and fed conditions in healthy Chinese subjects. Methods An open-label randomized single-dose two-sequence, two-treatment, two-period crossover study was conducted in healthy Chinese subjects, with 30 subjects under fasting condition and another 30 subjects under fed condition. Under each condition, subjects received a single oral administration of either the test or reference empagliflozin formulation, and then they received a single oral dose of the other formulation after a 7-day washout period. Results A total of 29 subjects under each condition completed the study. The maximum plasma drug concentration, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from 0 to t (AUC0-t ), and the AUC from 0 to infinity (AUC0-∞ ) of test formulation and reference formulation was 186.90 ± 47.21 and 190.60 ± 40.94 ng/ml, 1303.04 ± 234.28 and 1267.78 ± 217.07 ng·hour/ml, and 1328.08 ± 243.84 and 1293.22 ± 224.82 ng·hour/ml under fasting condition, and 151.55 ± 23.86 and 154.08 ± 30.40 ng/ml, 1215.65 ± 197.62 and 1199.26 ± 186.23 ng·hour/ml, and 1241.76 ± 202.47 and 1225.54 ± 192.10 ng·hour/ml under fed condition, respectively. Conclusions The two formulations of empagliflozin were bioequivalent, and both were generally well tolerated under fasting and fed conditions.Due to its importance as a central respiratory muscle as well as a separating layer between the thorax and abdomen, the functional integrity of the diaphragm is crucial in any case of surgical intervention. High demands are placed on surgical interventions regarding the functional integrity of the diaphragm. The aim of surgery may even be an improvement in the functional status of the patient. The surgery of the diaphragm is performed according to the same basic principles, regardless of the indication and the extent of the surgery. One of the most important principles concerns the suturing of the diaphragm. Regardless of whether it is a large or small defect, a tension-free suture is always required to prevent a secondary rupture or tearing of the suture and thus of the diaphragm. If necessary, a non-resorbable patch should be used to achieve a stress-free reconstruction. Because of the high physiological stress on the suture, the use of a non-resorbable suture with a high tear strength is recommended. Due to the position of the diaphragm between the thorax and the abdomen, a multidisciplinary surgical team may be necessary in surgical interventions depending on the state of the disease or the involvement of abdominal or thoracic organs.Surgical resection continues to be a mainstay of curative treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancers stages I - III and some small cell lung cancers. Reported rates of complications and mortality vary considerably. Therefore, a thorough and comprehensive preoperative evaluation of lung cancer patients is crucial in order to select appropriate surgical candidates and to determine their individual risk, including the extent of resection possible. Following available data and guidelines, such evaluation should include ECOG-scoring, cardiac risk assessment, cerebrovascular assessment, pulmonary risk assessment, including split function analysis, and additional initiation or adjustment of treatment where appropriate; in patients aged ≥ 70 years functional scoring (IADL). Risk stratification results in three groups patients at low risk for complications and mortality, patients at increased risk, and patients who usually are not candidates for surgical resection. Finally, in order to support autonomous decisions of patients on optimal treatment based on defined risks, physicians must be familiar with values and preferences of patients as well as their familial and social situation.Introduction Robot-assisted surgery is a promising technique for overcoming the limitations of laparoscopic surgery, especially for complex and advanced surgical procedures. We now describe the implementation of our robotic upper GI and HPB surgery program in our centre of excellence for minimally invasive surgery and the results of our first 100 surgical procedures. Method Robot-assisted surgery was performed using the Da Vinci® Xi Surgical System™. Robot-assisted surgical procedures were performed by two surgeons specialising in minimally invasive surgery. Our robotic surgery program for upper GI and HPB surgery was established in three steps. Step 1 firstly, relatively easy surgical procedures were performed robotically, including cholecystectomies, minor gastric resections and fundoplications. Step 2 secondly, pancreatic left sided resections, adrenalectomies and small liver resection were performed, as procedures with moderate degree of difficulty. Step 3 finally, advanced and highly complex procedures were performed, including right hemihepatectomy, complex pancreatic resections, total gastrectomies and oesophagectomies. Data collected from July 2017 till October 2018 were analysed retrospectively with regard to conversion rate, morbidity (Clavien Dindo > 2) and 90-d-mortality. Results The first step of establishing our robotic surgical program included 26 procedures. Here, conversion rate, morbidity and mortality were 0%. In the second step of implementation, 23 procedures were performed. Conversion rate, morbidity and mortality were 28, 8 and 0% respectively. The last step included 51 advanced and highly complex procedures. These procedures had a morbidity of 41%, a mortality of 4% and a conversion rate of 43%. Conclusion Our stepwise approach enables safe implementation of a robotic surgical program for upper GI and HPB surgery with comparable morbidity and mortality even for highly complex procedures. However, highly complex procedures in the learning curve required a high conversion rate.The development and proliferation of robot-assisted surgery has greatly extended the field of minimally invasive surgery. Thus, this necessitates the development of adequate training programs to prepare surgeons for the operating room of the future. Transferring established and proven methods of training and assessment in aviation could help robotic training programs become more effective, efficient and safer. Simulation is a safe and cost-effective way of training and in addition may improve operating room performance. Proctoring and flying doctor models are established concepts, especially for advanced training. This review summarises current developments in robotic surgical training and teaching and may help to start a controversial discussion.Introduction The use of robots in minimally invasive surgery has become increasingly common in recent years. Staurosporine Robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy is more frequent than the laparoscopic procedure especially due to the greater flexibility of instruments and therefore better handling and better angulation. Furthermore, there are benefits from enhanced 3D visibility, software-based tremor control and reduction in the physical exertion of the surgeon. Methods and results This review delivers a point-by-point approach to the setup of a robotic pancreatic programme and a detailed approach to robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy. Results In our standardised SOP approach, we use 5 trocars, 4 robotic trocars and one assist trocar. We prefer the position of the robot ports to be in a straight horizontal line with a distance of 20 cm away from the operational field. The operation is dissected in 11 standardised procedural steps, namely 1. Access to the pancreas and visualisation, 2. extended Kocher manoeuvre, 3. lower rim and mesenterico-portal axis, 4.
