To explore daily life with type 1 diabetes in families with an adolescent with type 1 diabetes.
Management of adolescent type 1 diabetes is carried out in the context of everyday life, thus involving and affecting the entire family. Type 1 diabetes causes disruption of family life, but the specific experiences and challenges of adolescents with type 1 diabetes, siblings and parents are not well-explored. Specifically, research is lacking on the siblings' experience of adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
A qualitative design using participatory workshops.
A sample of 21 families comprising adolescents with type 1 diabetes (aged 8-18) (N=20), their parents (N=29) and siblings (N=10) participated in four workshops exploring everyday life in families with adolescent diabetes from the perspective of all family members. Data were analysed using systematic text condensation. The COREQ checklist was used preparing the manuscript.
Family life with type 1 diabetes was characterised by three overarching themes (ice. Family-oriented approaches targeting adolescents with diabetes as well as their parents and siblings will enable provision of nursing care that can meet the needs of the entire family.This study aims to explore caregivers' experiences of eating disorder services and subsequent impacts on the caregiving burden and patient outcomes. Thematic analysis was employed to investigate qualitative data from a caregiver-targeted online survey run by BEAT, the UK's largest eating disorder charity. Six hundred and 16 caregivers completed the survey. Participants' experiences of eating disorder treatment were predominantly negative, characterised by three main themes (a) Barriers to care enduring obstacles caregivers face in accessing support for their loved ones, (b) Experiences of services high levels of unmet needs for caregivers and patients alike, (c) Affected domains the pervasive impact of caregiving, influenced by experiences of services. This study is the largest of its kind to explore caregivers' experiences of eating disorder treatment services and aims to give voice to this overlooked group within research. Notably, little has been done to address broader systemic challenges faced by caregivers in accessing support for loved ones. Results indicate these challenges may play a substantial role in shaping the caregiving burden, carer coping styles, and subsequent patient outcomes. Findings denote wider systemic issues and a lack of specificities of information and practical skills that could help prevent caregivers from experiencing the caregiving burden and subsequent consequences on eating disorder patient outcomes.
We examine the prognostic implications of mid-course nodal response in oropharyngeal cancer (OPX) to radiation therapy.
In 44 patients with node-positive OPX undergoing concurrent chemoradiation, nodal volumes were measured on cone beam CTs from days 1, 10, 20, and 35. Nodal decrease (ND) was based on percent shrinkage from day 1.
At a median follow-up of 17 months, the 2-year disease-free survival (DFS), locoregional control (LRC), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and overall survival (OS) were 87%, 92%, 89%, and 92%, respectively. Patients with ND ≥43% at D20 had improved LRC (100% vs 78.4%, P = .03) compared to D20 ND <43%. On multivariate analysis, D20 ≥43% was independently prognostic for LRC (HR 1.17, P = .05).
Patients with low-risk oropharynx cancer with ND of ≥43% by treatment day 20 had significantly improved LRC. The prognostic benefit of ND may assist in identifying candidates for treatment de-escalation.

We aimed to explore UK-based Punjabi-Sikh men's views on (i) alcohol consumption within the community; (ii) available support for alcohol reduction; and (iii) an evidence-informed alcohol reduction app.
Semi-structured interviews and a think aloud method were employed. Participants (n = 15) were male, aged 18-27 years, identified as Punjabi-Sikh, were hazardous or harmful drinkers (i.e. had an Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption score of ≥5) and interested in using an app to reduce drinking. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed with inductive thematic analysis.
Six themes were developed (i) fear of drinking to cope; (ii) clash between religious and cultural norms (i.e. an internal conflict between important values); (iii) stigmatisation of mental health issues and lack of knowledge as barriers to help seeking; (iv) perceived usefulness of goal setting, monitoring and feedback (i.e. beliefs about the utility of the app's components for reducing drinking); (vnity and wanted an element of human support. The potential for a combination of digital and face-to-face support should be explored.Mesoporous materials have attracted considerable attention because of their distinctive properties, including high surface areas, large pore sizes, tunable pore structures, controllable chemical compositions, and abundant forms of composite materials. During the last decade, there has been increasing research interest in constructing advanced mesoporous nanomaterials possessing short and open channels with efficient mass diffusion capability and rich accessible active sites for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. Here, the synthesis, structures, and energy-related applications of mesoporous nanomaterials are the main focus. After a brief summary of synthetic methods of mesoporous nanostructures, the delicate design and construction of mesoporous nanomaterials are described in detail through precise tailoring of the particle sizes, pore sizes, and nanostructures. Afterward, their applications as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, water-splitting electrolyzers, and fuel cells are discussed.
