Introduction: The utility of bedside screening tests for the prediction of difficult airways is limited. There is growing interest in the role of point-of-care-ultrasound in airway assessment and management. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the diagnostic utility and clinical application of various upper airway point-of-care-ultrasound parameters in the prediction of difficult airways.

Aim(s): To evaluate the effects of a multifaceted de-implementation strategy (RENEW) on the volume (time in minutes) of care spent by home-based nursing care teams on three widely used low-value nursing practices: (1) 'washing the client with water and soap by default' & 'washing the client from head to toe daily', (2) 'application of zinc cream, powders or pastes when treating intertrigo' and (3) 'assisting with putting on/taking off compression stockings while the client can do this him/herself (possibly with an aid)'.
Design: A multicenter, quasi-experimental study using a multiple interrupted time series design.
Methods: The RENEW-strategy with components on education, persuasion, enablement, incentives and training was introduced in 31 Dutch home-based nursing care teams from two healthcare organisations.

Background And Aims: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic, progressive autoimmune liver disease. Some patients with PBC do not adequately respond to Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) as a first-line treatment, putting them at an increased risk of disease progression. Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) agonists are emerging as promising therapeutic options for PBC.
