Background: The acceptance and use of clinical decision support systems are often limited by insufficient contextual adaptation.
Objectives: Identification of barriers to context assessment and requirements for an instrument to capture context factors.
Methods: A questionnaire-based survey investigated requirements for a context assessment instrument.
Results: Challenges in context assessment include insufficient knowledge of context factors and communication issues. Desired features are concise information and ease of use.
Conclusion: An efficient instrument for capturing context factors is crucial to addressing gaps, improving communication, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration in CDSS development.

Background: Nutrition underpins athletic performance, enhancing training, reducing injury risk, and accelerating recovery. In the event of an injury, performance dietitians (PDs) and nutritionists' (PNs) play a vital role by tailoring nutritional strategies to support tissue repair, optimize athlete's recoveries, and return to play.
Objectives: This study explored nutritional strategies recommended and employed by Irish PDs and PNs to assess, manage, and support athletes during the initial stages of sports-related injuries.

Background: Shock, characterised by circulatory hypoperfusion and cellular hypoxia, represents a critical medical condition requiring immediate attention. Despite its significance, there are limited data on shock incidence and outcomes, particularly within the context of Thailand.
Objectives: This retrospective observational study aimed to investigate the incidence, management and outcomes of shock patients admitted to the internal medicine department of Siriraj Hospital, a referral university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand.
Black hairy tongue (BHT), or lingua villosa nigra, is a rare adverse effect of linezolid, an antibiotic frequently used in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). We present a case of a 24-year-old female who developed BHT while receiving linezolid as part of a longer regimen for MDR-TB. The patient exhibited a typical BHT presentation, with painless brown-to-black discoloration on the posterior dorsal surface of her tongue, appearing 25 days after initiating linezolid therapy.

Heyde's syndrome signifies the link between aortic stenosis (AS) and bleeding due to angiodysplastic changes. While colonic angiodysplasia is commonly implicated, gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) represents a rarer manifestation in this context. We report the case of a 72-year-old male with severe AS who had recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to GAVE.
