Empowering parents in neonatal decision making using Q-methodology: Development of a decision guidance framework for necrotizing enterocolitis.

Background/objectives: Given the high risk of peri-operative mortality and postoperative morbidities in surgical necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), parents are faced with an extraordinarily difficult and emotionally charged decision. Together with healthcare professionals they must weigh whether pursuing surgery is in the infant's best interest or if palliative care would be more appropriate. The purpose of this study is to explore how parents make this complex decision and to investigate whether Q-methodology could serve as a decision guidance framework for the empowerment of parents.

Improving Pain Outcomes for Children and Adolescents at School via a Socio-Ecological Public Health Lens: A Strengths-Focused Interview Study With Teachers.

Chronic pain in children and adolescents is widespread and negatively affects school attendance and developmental trajectories. Teachers are central to how pain (both acute and chronic) is experienced by their students because of their position as educators and social role models. Therefore, we aimed to explore how teachers make meaning from and respond to their students' pain, and identify individual and system-level strengths to guide recommendations for clinical and public health interventions for pain management in schools.

Feasibility of intraoperative indocyanine green injection to identify lymph nodes at risk of metastatic disease for early-stage lung cancer.

Objectives: Despite surgical resection and mediastinal lymph node dissection, 34% of patients with stage IB to IIB non-small cell lung cancer demonstrate recurrence within 3.5 years, indicating disease dissemination undetected by current staging methods. Although 23.

Intercostal or Paravertebral Block vs Thoracic Epidural in Lung Surgery: A Randomized Noninferiority Trial.

Importance: Effective pain control after thoracic surgery is crucial for enhanced recovery. While thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) traditionally ensures optimal analgesia, its adverse effects conflict with the principles of enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery. High-quality randomized data regarding less invasive alternative locoregional techniques are lacking.
