Digital devices, such as the digital toolkit, are transforming primary care by enabling the collection, transcription, and transmission of clinical data in real time. This article explores its applications in primary care, highlighting its impact on improving the quality of care, increasing the problem-solving capacity, and optimizing patient diagnosis and monitoring. It describes use cases in clinical practice, emphasizing benefits such as more personalized and efficient care. Additionally, key aspects related to data storage and information security are addressed, along with the main challenges of its implementation, such as staff training and the necessary infrastructure. The study highlights the role of the digital toolkit as a technological tool in primary care, with the potential to integrate technology into healthcare services and drive innovation in care delivery.

European Union (EU) Member States face challenges in using health data for secondary purposes, constrained by inconsistent digital health systems and limited cross-border sharing. One aim of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) is to facilitate secondary health data use through the HealthData@EU infrastructure and Health Data Access Bodies (HDABs). This article provides recommendations essential for HDAB implementation, informed by the HealthData@EU Pilot project.

Background: Penicillin allergies are reported in 1 in 10 hospitalised patients globally and are associated with inferior patient and health service outcomes. However, more than 95% of low-risk penicillin allergies can be removed by direct oral challenge (DOC).
Objective: The International Network of Antibiotic Allergy Nations (iNAAN) aims to evaluate the utility of an audit and feedback (A&F) and education implementation strategy to increase the adoption of penicillin DOC in patients with a low-risk penicillin allergy, while concurrently assessing the impact of penicillin DOC on antibiotic prescribing and health service outcomes.

Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) was used to study the hygroscopic shrinkage in lignocellulosic tissues. For this, small tissue segments of only a few cells were prepared from the endocarp of fruits, the sclereid cell layer of pine cone scales, the sclerenchyma fiber sheath of peripheral vascular bundles in and latewood of . The cells were imaged in a wet and dry state using X-ray nano-holotomography.

Background: Online adaptive radiation therapy (ART) offers a paradigm shift in radiotherapy by enabling adjustments to the planned dose based on daily anatomical variation. In the context of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for online ART on a standard linac, thoracic and abdominal treatment sites in particular present unique challenges due to the typically large treatment volumes, mobile anatomy, scatter-induced image quality degradation, and hounsfield unit (HU) limitations. A recent hardware and software upgrade for a standard linac, Varian TrueBeam (TB) v4.

Background: Informal carers, people providing unpaid support to relatives or close others with an illness, disability, or advanced age-related care needs, are key stakeholders in health care systems. Carers have their own health and well-being challenges; however, their needs and care pathways are often overlooked by health care providers. Open online courses offer opportunities to address the information and support needs of large numbers of carers.
