Article Abstract
Objective: To determine whether higher level or improvements over time in pain self-efficacy (PSE) and expectations of intervention effectiveness lead to better outcomes and whether the intervention used to manage rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP) impacts PSE and expectations over time.
Design: Secondary analysis of data from a randomised controlled trial.
Participants: 123 individuals (48 [15] years old; 51% female) with RCRSP.
Interventions: Participants randomised into one of three 12-weeks interventions (education; education and motor control exercises; education and strengthening exercises).
Main Outcome Measures: QuickDASH and Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) were administered at baseline and 12 weeks. Pain self-efficacy was assessed at 0 and 6 weeks. Patients' expectations regarding intervention effectiveness were assessed before randomisation and after the first and the last intervention sessions. NparLD were used for the analyses. A time effect indicated a significant change in patients' expectations or PSE over time, while a resolution effect indicated a significant difference in patients' expectations or PSE between those whose symptoms resolved and those whose did not.
Results: Patients' expectations (-3 to 3) increased over time (0.33/3 [0.19 to 0.77]). Overall expectations were higher for those who experienced symptom resolution based on the WORC (0.19/3 [0.05 to 0.33]). PSE increased over time (5.5/60 [3.6 to 7.4]). Overall PSE was higher for those who experienced symptom resolution based on the WORC (7.0 [3.9 to 10.1]) and the QuickDASH (4.9 [1.7 to 8.2]).
Conclusion: Clinicians should consider monitoring PSE and patients' expectations as they are important indicators of outcome. CONTRIBUTION OF THE PAPER.

Intraindividual Optic Nerve Sheath Variation and Intracranial Pressure Changes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Neuroimaging
September 2025
Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal.
Background And Purpose: To review the existing evidence on multiple timepoint assessments of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) as an indicator of intraindividual variation of intracranial pressure (ICP).
Methods: A systematic search identified studies assessing intraindividual variation in ICP through multiple timepoint measurements of ONSD using ultrasonography. Meta-analysis of studies assessing intraindividual correlation coefficients between ONSD and ICP was performed using a random effects model, and we calculated the weighted correlation coefficient for the expected change in ICP associated with variations in ONSD.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy, also known as the classic Whipple procedure, is the most common surgical treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Postoperative complications are common and occur in approximately 50% of patients. Prompt detection and management of these complications is vital for improving patient outcomes.

Background: RUNX3 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet its specific biological mechanism is still unclear. This study aimed to uncover tumor microenvironment (TME) changes in NSCLC with varying RUNX3 expression statuses through single-cell RNA sequencing.
Patients And Methods: In total, seven patients with NSCLC with detailed pathological data were involved, with three both paracancerous and cancerous tissue samples.

University of Memphis, Loewenberg College of Nursing, USA.
Background: Nurse practitioner students' progression from observational to more independent clinical activities with minimal preceptor prompting is necessary to prepare students for practice.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe and explain NP and physician preceptors' experiences with preparing nurse practitioner students for their transition to becoming autonomous clinicians during their experiences at clinical sites.
Methods: This hermeneutic phenomenological qualitative study was based on Van Manen's methodology.
Non-Sedated Intrauterine Device Experiences Among Transgender and Cisgender Adolescents and Young Adults in the Outpatient Setting.

Division of Adolescent Medicine, Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, WA, USA.
Study Objectives: This study compares the demographic characteristics and experiences of three different groups of adolescent and young adults (AYAs) seeking non-sedated intrauterine device (IUD) insertion in the outpatient setting: (1) cisgender individuals, (2) transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals receiving gender-affirming testosterone therapy, and (3) TGD individuals not receiving gender-affirming testosterone therapy.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included AYAs age 13 to 21 years seeking IUD insertion. Data were obtained from the electronic health record via a pre-existing, multi-institutional shared quality improvement (QI) collaborative.
