ATXN2 is one of the few genes where a single gene causes several diseases and/or modifies several and disparate neurological disorders. Hence, understanding mutagenesis, genetic variants, and biological functions will help managing SCA2, and several human diseases connected with dysfunctional pathways in the brain, innate immunity, autophagy, cellular, lipid, and RNA metabolism.

Adolescents' ability to cope with parental cancer and death is largely dependent on information and open communication, but parents and professionals often feel uncertain in such circumstances.

To develop and pilot a communication tool to enhance communication with adolescents living with or having lost a parent with cancer.

A Fuelbox was developed in a 4-phased process including adolescents and professionals and piloted by 51 participants (adolescents, parents, and professionals) over 4 months. Using a mixed-methods study with a convergent design, data were collected via a questionnaire and interviews and were then merged.

The final "Young Next of Kin" Fuelbox consisted of 8 topics and 176 questions. Participants used the Fuelbox in different contexts, utilizing a variety of approaches. The participants found that it covered significant topics and questions important to adolescents' situation. The Fuelbox was considered a very useful and beneficial tool to promote communication with adolescents, given that users maintain awareness of voluntary participation, confidentiality, preparedness, time, and safe frames.

The Fuelbox "Young Next of Kin" seems to be a flexible and accessible communication tool in private and professional settings to enhance communication with adolescents living with or having lost a parent with cancer. As the Fuelbox is diagnosis-neutral in nature, it may be transferable to other populations and settings.

The Fuelbox is a flexible, accessible, and useful tool for communication between adolescents and parents, and adolescents and healthcare professionals in specialist and primary healthcare settings.

Pain is a frequently reported and distressing symptoms during cancer treatment. However, there is limited evidence on pain reported by Chinese children with cancer.

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, intensity, interference, and management of pain reported by Chinese children during cancer treatment and explore the predictors of pain interference.

We conducted a cross-sectional survey to investigate the pain intensity, pain interference, co-occurring symptoms (anger, anxiety, depression, fatigue), and pain management strategies reported by children 8 years and older undergoing active cancer treatment in 4 Chinese hospitals.

Data were analyzed for 187 children. The prevalence of moderate to severe pain (≥4/10) was 38.50%, with an average pain interference score of 52.97 out of 100. Approximately 24% of children were prescribed pain medicine. Pain interference and pain intensity were marginally correlated (r = 0.047, P < .01) and were both positively correlated with pain duration and co-occurring symptoms and negatively correlated with perceived pain alleviation (all P < .01). Multiple regression analyses suggested that severe pain intensity (B = 2.028, P = .003) and fatigue (B = 0.440, P < .001) significantly predicted higher levels of pain interference (R2 = 0.547, F = 23.102, P < .001).

Chinese children with cancer reported a low pain intensity score but a relatively high level of pain interference. According to the children's reports, pain has not been sufficiently addressed through Chinese pediatric oncology supportive care.

There is an urgent requirement for comprehensive pain assessment and standardized, targeted interventions in Chinese pediatric oncology pain management.

Effective communication between physicians and nurses is crucial to the safety of patients, especially for those with cancer, which is a complex disease requiring multidisciplinary treatment. However, little is known about the factors that contribute to effective communication, which is defined as the development of shared understanding between two or more people.

This qualitative secondary analysis was conducted to identify factors that contribute to shared understanding between physicians and nurses from video-recorded conversations that occurred between them during inpatient rounds on oncology units.

We used inductive grounded theory to identify videos depicting moments of shared understanding. CORT125134 We then searched for preceding events to develop a preliminary conceptual model that described the factors contributing to shared understanding.

Four factors emerged as contributors to shared understanding engagement, clarification, confirmation, and resolution. These factors occurred in sequence with engagee-physician communication.The focus of this research was to identify what attributes of patient room designs are most beneficial to health care professionals and to explore whether particular professionals hold certain beliefs about patient room attributes. Acute care, progressive care, and intensive care patient room designs were analyzed through the use of pre- and postoccupancy evaluations of a cardiovascular service line. Fourteen focus groups and 1 interview among 74 health care professionals were conducted. Qualitative analysis of the data was guided by a multidimensional framework. A descriptive quantitative assessment was additionally made to reveal positive, negative, or neutral trends and determine the frequency of attributes discussed. The findings revealed outcomes in 4 primary areas (1) clearance around the bed; (2) visibility; (3) access to the bathroom/bathroom configuration; and (4) access to daylight/views of the exterior. This study identified 8 additional categories. Outcomes illustrate perceptions from a myriad of health care professionals, but the nurses, therapists, and interdisciplinary members of the care team station offered the greatest depth of information.
