Objective: To explore healthcare professionals' perceptions on the implementation of home hemodialysis and self-assisted hemodialysis in Singapore and to identify the perceived barriers, facilitators, and actionable strategies for increasing uptake.
Methods: This is a qualitative explorative study based on semi-structured face-to-face interviews conducted with a multidisciplinary group of 12 healthcare professionals at an acute teaching hospital in Singapore. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis.
Clinical apathy might result from either a diminished willingness to exert effort for known rewards or from reduced motivation to explore potentially beneficial future opportunities. To identify the underlying cognitive and neural bases of apathy, we used task-based fMRI to examine motivated choice computations in patients with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI)-a condition frequently associated with apathy-and compared their behavior and neural activity to that of healthy controls (CTRLs). Participants performed two choice tasks involving distinct types of motivational tradeoffs: i) An effort-value tradeoff task (the 'Apples Task') requiring them to decide how much physical effort they were willing to exert for varying reward magnitudes, and ii) An explore-exploit tradeoff task (the 'Novelty-Bandit Task') requiring them to choose between exploiting options with a known history of reward or exploring novel options with uncertain but potentially higher future value.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between peripheral blood transferrin receptor protein (TfR) and tumor cell ferroptosis, as well as bladder cancer invasion and metastasis, and further reveal the mechanism of action of TfR in bladder cancer progression. Fifteen patients with bladder cancer, treated at the Department of Urology in our hospital from February 2022 to August 2023, were recruited as research subjects. The patients were aged between 44 and 68 years, with an average age of 52.
