Article Abstract
Background: This scoping review explores how physical, social, and organizational factors influence recreational activity engagement for residents with dementia in long-term care settings.
Methods: A literature search in AgeLine, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Medline, and Web of Science identified studies on environmental factors affecting recreational activities for long-term care residents with dementia. A narrative approach was used to collate and summarize the findings from peer-reviewed English studies available until June 30, 2024.
Results: A total of 28 studies were reviewed, examining how physical, social, and organizational factors-such as homelike ambiance, staffing levels, and medicalized care culture-affect residents' engagement in recreational activities. The review also highlights the interrelationship among these factors.
Discussion And Implications: The findings emphasize the importance of creating care environments that support activity participation. These insights can inform future assessments and the development of long-term care settings to improve activity experiences and outcomes for residents.

Arthroplasty surgery is a common and successful end-stage intervention for advanced osteoarthritis. Yet, postoperative outcomes vary significantly among patients, leading to a plethora of measures and associated measurement approaches to monitor patient outcomes. Traditional approaches rely heavily on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which are widely used, but often lack sensitivity to detect function changes (e.

Background: As populations age, informal caregivers play an increasingly vital role in long-term care, with 80% of care provided by family members in Europe. However, many individuals do not immediately recognize themselves as caregivers, especially in the early stages. This lack of awareness can increase physical and emotional stress and delay access to support services.

This narrative review analyzes current evidence comparing single-session and two-session approaches in Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer. These ultra-hypofractionated strategies deliver high-precision ablative doses while minimizing exposure to normal tissues. SBRT regimens with fewer than five fractions show tumor control comparable to conventional treatments, offering reduced treatment burden and increased convenience.

In bariatric care, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are becoming revolutionary tools because traditional predictive models based on BMI and demographic variables are unable to account for these complexities. To put it simply, AI is a branch of computer science that enables machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
