Article Abstract

This review examines various classes of drugs, focusing on their therapeutic and adverse effects, particularly in relation to immunostimulation. We emphasize the potential of new approach methodologies (NAMs) to study both expected and unexpected immunostimulatory effects. By evaluating the modes of action of different immunostimulatory drugs, we aim to provide insights into effectively assessing unwanted immunostimulatory responses. The review begins by exploring drugs that stimulate the immune system-including immunostimulants, monoclonal antibodies, chemotherapeutics, and nucleic acid-based drugs-to outline NAMs that could be employed to evaluate immunostimulation.

Background: Assisted vaginal birth is a lifesaving procedure where health workers use special devices to expedite birth vaginally when some complications emerge, such as due to prolonged labor. When the use of assisted vaginal birth is possible and appropriate, it provides benefits over cesarean section. These benefits include shorter recovery, reduced hospital stays, lower risks of complications, cost savings, and greater likelihood of vaginal birth in future pregnancies.

Background: Various media are used to enhance public understanding about diseases. While mobile health apps are widely used, there is little proof for using such apps to raise awareness of skin diseases.

Objective: We intend to develop an app, called DEDIKASI-app, to raise awareness of skin diseases, including leprosy.

Background: In pediatric intensive care units, pain, sedation, delirium, and iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome (IWS) must be managed as interrelated conditions. Although clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) exist, new evidence needs to be incorporated, gaps in recommendations addressed, and recommendations adapted to the European context.

Objective: This protocol describes the development of the first patient- and family-informed European guideline for managing pain, sedation, delirium, and IWS by the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care.

Objectives: Long-term worker shortages in Australian residential aged care are well-documented. These shortages adversely impact residents' well-being and the morale of staff caring for them. This study aimed to explore staff and management experiences through workplace theories related to worker satisfaction: job demands-resources theory, self-determination theory, moral disengagement and work as calling theory, at NewDirection Care, which provides innovative aged care in Queensland.
