A knowledge gap exists between apheresis medicine (AM) physicians and providers who request the service, presenting challenges when coordinating care. We investigated an educational intervention consisting of a 40-min in-person evidence-based lecture for neurology residents, neurology attending physicians, and nephrology fellows. Pre-/post-testing demonstrated substantially improved understanding of apheresis mechanics, indications, complications, and patient consent. We advocate for more educational sessions about AM for the non-apheresis providers to increase awareness about apheresis and foster collaborative interdisciplinary efforts.

Automatic segmentation of retinal vessels from retinography images is crucial for timely clinical diagnosis. However, the high cost and specialized expertise required for annotating medical images often result in limited labeled datasets, which constrains the full potential of deep learning methods. Recent advances in self-supervised pretraining using unlabeled data have shown significant benefits for downstream tasks.

People with dementia are living longer in the community and reliance on informal caregivers is increasing. Few studies have focused on the experiences of adult-daughter caregivers (daughter caregivers), who may have increased risk of depression and lack of support compared with spousal caregivers. We aimed to explore the experiences of accessing and receiving formal and informal support among daughter caregivers of people living with dementia in Sweden.

Background: Older adults are more vulnerable to severe consequences caused by seasonal influenza. Although seasonal influenza vaccination (SIV) is effective and free vaccines are available, the SIV uptake rate remained inadequate among people aged 65 years or older in Hong Kong, China. There was a lack of studies evaluating ChatGPT in promoting vaccination uptake among older adults.
