Patient engagement (PE) has evolved from an emerging concept to a fundamental ethos underpinning healthcare research and communication. In this commentary, we explore the historical evolution in medical research from patients being participants in clinical trials to becoming integral partners in communicating medical research findings. The progression from "why" to "how" PE should occur represents a fundamental shift in the medical publication landscape.

Purpose: Children with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) treated in resource-intensive settings have a high likelihood of cure, but therapy is long, burdensome, and associated with substantial toxicities. Understanding parents' perceptions of the most disruptive and difficult aspects of B-ALL treatment is critical to future improvements in care. We aimed to understand which child side effects, chemotherapeutic agents, and aspects of leukemia care are rated difficult or disruptive by parents, and variations based on parent or child characteristics.

Objective: This study aimed to explore participant reflections after receipt of prenatal genome sequencing (GS) results in the absence of fetal anomalies.
Methods: Participants invited to complete a semi-structured interview consented to future research, were English speaking, and were between 30 days and 1 year since the conclusion of their sequenced pregnancy. A total of 18 interviews were conducted with 21 participants (3 couples interviewed concurrently) representing 15 unique pregnancies (81% term deliveries, 14% terminated pregnancies, and 5% preterm delivery).

Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK.
Purpose: Mesh-augmented abdominal wall closure (Mesh prophylaxis) reduces incisional hernia rates in high-risk patients. In spite of a large body of evidence supporting its efficacy and safety, use of mesh prophylaxis is low in the US and UK, possibly due to negative perceptions of surgical mesh. This study aimed to assess the acceptability of mesh to patients and determine factors that influence acceptability.
