Article Abstract
Aim: To canvas the contemporary contextual forces within the Australian residential aged care sector and argue for new research and innovation. There is a pressing need to provide systematised, high-quality and person-centred care to our ageing populations, especially for those who rely on residential care. This paper advances a warrant for establishing a new systematic framework for assessment and management that serves as a foundation for effective person-centred care delivery.
Design: Position paper.
Methods: This paper promulgates the current dialogue among key stakeholders of quality residential aged care in Australia, including clinicians, regulatory agencies, researchers and consumers. A desktop review gathered relevant literature spanning research, standards and guidelines regarding current and future challenges in aged care in Australia.
Results: This position paper explores the issues of improving the quality and safety of residential aged care in Australia, including the lingering impact of COVID-19 and incoming reforms. It calls for nurse-led research and innovation to deliver tools to address these challenges.
Conclusion: The paper proposes an appropriate holistic, evidence-based nursing framework to optimise the quality and safety of residential aged care in Australia.
Patient Or Public Contribution: This study did not include patient or public involvement in its design, conduct, or reporting.

Dose-response Association between Hand Dexterity and Functional Disability: A Longitudinal Study from the Kasama Study.
Ann Geriatr Med Res

Institute of Health and Sport Sciences, University of Tsukuba, 1-1-1 Tennodai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.
Background: Poor hand dexterity may increase the risk of functional disability; however, few studies have examined the relationship between hand dexterity and incident functional disability. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the dose-response association of hand dexterity with incident functional disability in community-dwelling older adults.
Methods: This study included 1,069 older adults aged ≥65 years in Kasama City, Japan.

Multimorbidity of chronic diseases is one of the most common health issues among older adults, and the resulting demand for long-term medical care and management imposes a considerable burden on healthcare systems. Muscle strength, a core indicator of overall health status, is closely associated with the risk of developing multimorbidity of chronic diseases in older adults. Decline in muscle strength not only increases the risk of multimorbidity of chronic diseases but also interacts with it to exacerbate disease burden.

Objectives: Urinary calculi are characterized by a high recurrence rate, and patients' adherence to self-management after discharge directly affects health outcomes. Traditional offline follow-up models often face problems such as poor compliance and uneven allocation of medical resources, making it difficult to meet individualized health management needs. Remote follow-up provides a novel solution to optimize long-term management, improve health literacy, and enhance clinical outcomes.

Objectives: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with poor prognosis, with 30% of patients diagnosed at an advanced stage. Mutations in the and genes are important prognostic factors for NSCLC, and targeted therapies can significantly improve survival in these patients. Although tissue biopsy remains the gold standard for detecting gene mutations, it has limitations, including invasiveness, sampling errors due to tumor heterogeneity, and poor reproducibility.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Affiliated Changsha Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University, Changsha 410005.
Objectives: The Charlson comorbidity index reflects overall comorbidity burden and has been applied in cardiovascular medicine. However, its role in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by ventricular arrhythmias (VA) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of the Charlson comorbidity index in this setting and to construct a nomogram model for early risk identification and individualized management to improve outcomes.
