#Review #MedicinaMdpi 📌Digital Assessment of #Metacognition Across the #Psychosis Continuum: Measures, Validity, and Clinical Integration—A Scoping Review ➡️by Vassilis Martiadis et al. 📝Metacognition-related processes (e.g., #confidencecalibration, self-evaluation and the use of feedback) have been linked to cognitive insight, self-evaluation, and daily functioning in psychosis. However, clinic-based assessments only provide limited information. Digital methods may capture state-like variations and contextual factors, but it is unclear to what extent they operationalise core metacognitive monitoring constructs versus adjacent self-evaluative/insight-related constructs. We mapped digital approaches used to assess metacognition-related constructs across the psychosis spectrum, summarising the associated feasibility and validity. Read: 🌐 https://brnw.ch/21x62k6

This paper has gathered 26 citations!🎉 📚Comprehensive Insights into #Sarcopenia in #Dialysis Patients: Mechanisms, Assessment, and Therapeutic Approaches 👥by Mariateresa Zicarelli et al. Sarcopenia, defined as the progressive loss of #musclemass, strength, and function, is largely prevalent but still clinically underrecognized among patients undergoing #chronicdialysistherapy. The pathogenesis involves a complex interplay of #chronicinflammation, #oxidativestress, #metabolicacidosis, #hormonalimbalances, protein waste, #malnutrition, and reduced physical activity. 🚨 Read more here 👉 https://brnw.ch/21x5Xvt

💡This paper has gathered 9 citations! 📌Establishing an #ExtracorporealCardiopulmonaryResuscitation Program | 👥 Pietro Bertini et al. Read here: https://brnw.ch/21x619E 📚About: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary #resuscitation (#ECPR) is a complex, life-saving procedure that uses mechanical support for patients with refractory cardiac arrest, representing the pinnacle of #extracorporealmembraneoxygenation (ECMO) applications. Effective ECPR requires precise patient selection, rapid mobilization of a multidisciplinary team, and skilled #cannulation techniques. Establishing a program necessitates a cohesive ECMO system that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, which is essential for managing #acutecardiogenicshock and #severepulmonaryfailure. This manuscript aims to guide institutions in establishing an ECPR program, specifically addressing the current lack of structured, step-by-step methodologies for effective implementation. It seeks to bridge gaps in the literature regarding systematic approaches, cross-disciplinary integration, and long-term program sustainability in ECPR applications.

Don't miss it 🚨 #VenousThromboembolism in Burn Patients: A 5-Year Retrospective Study | by Eliza-Maria Bordeanu-Diaconescu et al 👥 #Burnpatients manifest all components of #Virchowstriad, amplifying the concern for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Routine #prophylaxis for VTE remains a subject of debate, with the central concern being the occurrence of associated #adverseevents. Individuals with burn injuries are exposed to an increased susceptibility to venous thromboembolism, influenced by various contributing elements (immobility, #hypercoagulability, endothelial dysfunction, patient-specific factors, such as age, comorbidities, and genetic predispositions). Considering each patient’s unique characteristics and burn injury, individualized approaches may be necessary to optimize thromboprophylaxis effectiveness. Read more here 👉 https://brnw.ch/21x5pV0

#highlycited #Medicinamdpi 👉 Updated Perspectives on #Lifestyle Interventions as Secondary #StrokePrevention Measures: A Narrative Review by Valbona Govori, Hrvoje Budinčević, Sandra Morović, Filip Đerke and Vida Demarin 28 citations 🎉 📌 #Stroke is largely preventable, yet remains the 2nd leading cause of death and disability. People who’ve had a stroke face a 6–15x higher risk of another one, so secondary prevention is vital. Up to 90% of strokes could be prevented by treating 10 modifiable risk factors—about half tied to lifestyle. Key steps: regular #physicalactivity (in clean air), healthy diet, quit smoking and excess alcohol, stress reduction. These changes also help control #hypertension, #cholesterol, #obesity, #diabetes, and #atrialfibrillation. Barriers include motor and cognitive impairments, #depression, and stroke subtype. Long-term success needs tailored, comprehensive support. Adhering to lifestyle changes is the most effective way to lower stroke #recurrence. Read here: 🌐 https://brnw.ch/21x5pNx
