Shared decision making (SDM), whereby patients and clinicians work collaboratively to make health care decisions, brings multiple benefits. It has, however, been slow to integrate into clinical practice. There are some examples of SDM being embedded and evaluated within medical undergraduate curricula but, despite role models being important in promoting students' patient-centred attitudes, these examples do not involve students reflecting on clinicians' use of SDM in practice.

We undertook a qualitative evaluation of a small group educational intervention. A key element was the students' use of a structured reflective template, drawing on the SHARE (seek, help, assess, reach, evaluate) SDM tool, to analyse examples of clinicians using SDM in practice critically. We undertook a thematic analysis of students' completed templates and evaluated their engagement with the SHARE tool.

A total of 44 templates were analysed. Four main themes were identified, including new learning about SDM, noticing and deconsttitudes towards, SDM. The ethical arguments for SDM, evidence for its benefits and the alignment of SDM with participants' own core values appeared to help achieve student 'buy in'. Students struggled with notions of power, risk and time constraints, and empathised with both patients and clinicians. They highlighted the scarcity of SDM in practice. Role modelling is a powerful tool for learning, particularly where students are encouraged to critically reflect on behaviours.The impact of resveratrol (RSV) on radiation (RAD)-induced brain injury in rats' brains was investigated. A total of 40 male Wistar Albino rats were randomly divided into four groups (control, RAD, RAD + RSV, and RSV groups, with 10 rats in each group). The results revealed a significant decrease in catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activities, as well as glutathione (GSH) content. Further, a significant elevation in malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β), IL-6, and transforming growth factor-β1 levels were observed. Furthermore, decreased B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), increased Bcl-2-associated X, and tumor necrosis factor-α genes expression, decreased nuclear factor erythroid-related factor 2, heme oxygenase-1, and increased nuclear factor-κB protein levels were noticed. Also, an apoptosis marker, caspase-3-positive cells, was seen in the hippocampus. Those effects were observed in the RAD group of rats. The treatment of RSV displayed a significant amendment of the studied parameters in the brain tissues of the RAD group of animals. This effect is interrelated to the ability of RSV to scavenge the free radicals, enhance the activity of the antioxidant enzymes, increase GSH contents, and downregulate the inflammatory responses and apoptosis markers in the brain tissues of RAD animals. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic activities of RSV can improve the antioxidant status and suppress the inflammatory responses and apoptosis in the brain tissues of RAD animals.Winter rape is a widespread crop in Europe that provides the common vole with a suitable diet and cover from autumn to late spring (approximately 8 months). This review shows the following That common vole populations reach a high density in winter rape. GNE-049 in vitro Widespread rape fields (large size) provide better support for common vole populations compared to winter cereals. That a high-quality supply from winter rape enables the common vole to extend its reproductive season and successfully overwinter. That the diet of the common vole primarily comprises the green vegetative parts of winter rape. The percentage of weed species in the diet depends on weed coverage in the crop. That the impact of the common vole on winter rape correlates with vole density. That no-tillage farming enhances common vole infestation of winter rape fields, particularly in spring, and is related to damage to adjacent crops. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) data comparing bolus (B-CP) with weekly (W-CP) cisplatin concurrent with radiation are lacking.

We performed a retrospective study comparing PRO among 99 patients with head and neck radiation, 26% who received concurrent B-CP and 73% treated with W-CP.

W-CP patients had a higher Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) (P = .004). There were no differences in median cisplatin dose, PROs, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) dependence or hospitalization between arms. Patients with a greater decline in their self-reported dysphagia score were more often PEG dependent at the end of radiation therapy (P = .03). There was also a trend toward PEG dependence with a higher maximum dysphagia score and greater change in aspiration score (P = .06). The maximum decline in white cell count and absolute neutrophil count were greater in the W-CP group (P = .04, P = .01).

Both B-CP and W-CP are well tolerated. PROs do not suggest a benefit to W-CP.

Both B-CP and W-CP are well tolerated. PROs do not suggest a benefit to W-CP.Complete extremity regeneration in mammals is restricted to distal amputations of the digit tip, the terminal phalanx (P3). In mice, P3 regeneration is mediated via the formation of a blastema, a transient population of progenitor cells that form from the blending of periosteal and endosteal/marrow compartmentalized cells that undergo differentiation to restore the amputated structures. Compartmentalized blastema cells are formed independently, and periosteal compartment-derived cells are required for restoration of amputated skeletal length. P3 regenerative capacity is progressively attenuated at increasingly more proximal amputation levels, eventually resulting in regenerative failure. The continuum of regenerative capacity within the P3 wound milieu is a unique model to investigate mammalian blastema formation in response to distal amputation, as well as the healing response associated with regenerative failure at proximal amputation levels. We report that P3 proximal amputation healing, previously reported to result in regenerative failure, is not an example of complete regenerative failure, but instead is characterized by a limited bone regeneration response restricted to the endosteal/marrow compartment.
