Article Abstract
Although there is an emerging body of evidence that addresses the adverse health outcomes of individuals with sickle cell trait (SCT), it is not clear if the findings are generalizable from a sex and gender perspective. The purpose of this scoping review was to complete an assessment of main concepts, identify knowledge gaps, and determine the potential value of conducting an eventual systematic review. The research question guiding this scoping review is: In SCT individuals with adverse health outcomes, what is known about sex and gender differences? We conducted a scoping review of research on SCT from 2016 to 2022 across five databases, with 36 research studies included in the review. The majority of the included studies were cohort studies (67%) in the United States (61%) focusing on a variety of health outcomes. One-third reported health outcomes by both SCT status and sex, and one-third controlled for sex; no studies addressed gender. Further research is needed on the role of sex and gender for individuals with SCT.

Peripheral parenteral nutrition use outside of a dedicated nutrition support service: A descriptive cohort study.
JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr

Department of Gastroenterology, Austin Health, Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia.
Background: Hospitalized patients may require nutrition support because of inadequate intake or impaired gut function. Enteral nutrition is preferred over parenteral nutrition because of fewer complications and earlier return of gut function. This study describes peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) use in an Australian tertiary center, evaluating its indications, incidence of adverse effects, and outcomes without the support of a nutrition support service.

Background: Initially limited to inpatient use, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is now frequently used in community settings. However, complexities in wound management step-down strategies in the United Kingdom, including regional variations in referral processes, lack of consensus on funding criteria, and limited availability of NPWT units, have led to extended hospital length of stay (LOS) for patients ready for discharge but still needing NPWT. Single-use NPWT (sNPWT) can serve as a bridge between hospital and community NPWT.

Objective: To assess the effect of the number of cellular and/or tissue-based product (CTP) applications on healing outcomes and wound area reduction (WAR) rates in patients with chronic wounds of multiple etiologies.
Methods: Data from a multicenter private wound care practice electronic health record database were analyzed for Medicare patients receiving CTPs from January 2018 through December 2023.
The trial design of the concurrent optical and magnetic stimulation (COMS) therapy study for refractory diabetic foot ulcers (MAVERICKS): a multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind investigational device exemption clinical study.

Department of Nursing, Federal University of Ceará, Ceará, Brazil.
Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a major clinical challenge, particularly among patients with refractory ulcers, that often lead to severe complications such as infection, amputation, and high mortality. Innovations supported by strong clinical evidence have the potential to improve healing outcomes, enhance quality of life, and reduce the economic burden on individuals and health care systems.
Objective: To describe the design of the concurrent optical and magnetic stimulation (COMS) therapy Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study for refractory DFUs (MAVERICKS) trial.
