Summary: The purposes of this review were to identify evidence for post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) and post-intensive care syndrome-family (PICS-F) in the neurologically injured population and to characterize existing models for neurorecovery clinics. It was found that while there are post-ICU clinics for general critical care patients, there is a lack of such clinics for brain injured patients. It is proposed to establish a neuro-ICU transitional care clinic modeled after transitional care provided to other brain injured populations.

Summary: The introduction of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug therapies for treating JIA in children and adolescents has revolutionized care and outcomes. TNF inhibitors have shown effectiveness for most JIA subtypes, but there are still some patients who require different therapeutic approaches. Personalized care and redefining JIA classification offer potential for improved treatment outcomes.

Summary: The most effective COVID-19 vaccines, which utilize nanotechnology, are high-cost and mainly purchased by wealthy countries, while middle- and low-income countries have less access to these vaccines. The economic gains of using nano-vaccines in countries like the USA translate to high costs in other countries.

Summary: Drug overdose deaths, mostly involving opioids, have been the main cause of accidental death in the United States. Effective treatments like medication and harm reduction strategies are supported, but integrating opioid use disorder systems of care within emergency medical service (EMS) systems is rare. Establishing early intervention and treatment systems for opioid use disorders in emergency departments leads to higher treatment engagement and reduced mortality. Designating specialty centers for overdose patients in EMS systems may have a public health benefit.

Summary: There is a need for sustainable urban drainage principles to be extended to address snow and pollutant accumulations in the winter season. A prototype snow management tool has been developed to simulate snow accumulation, pollutant concentrations, and various snow management options in an urban catchment area. Testing and refinement of the tool are planned to provide decision support for the disposal of snow and pollutants.

Summary: Nutrition plays a crucial role in the treatment, health, and life of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Suboptimal nutrition can adversely affect the long-term outcome of JIA patients, while correct nutritional status helps with recovery and inflammation reduction.

Summary: This article discusses the possibility of combining citizens' assemblies and plebiscitary referendums to better connect administration and society. The author distinguishes three ways of linking citizens' assemblies to the referendum process and discusses their characteristics, advantages, limitations, and related design questions. Based on recent developments in theory and practice, the article concludes that the idea of a deliberative referendum linking citizens' assemblies to direct voting on issues is feasible, but also presents challenges and questions that designers and practitioners have only begun to address.

Summary: This study compared MRI findings between patients clinically suspected of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and patients with ankle arthralgia of unknown cause. The results showed that inflammatory features were observed on MRI, with tenosynovitis being significantly more common in JIA patients. However, the MRI summarized score did not effectively differentiate between JIA and non-JIA patients.

Summary: When deciding whether to stop medications when JIA is inactive, patients and caregivers consider competing risks between disease activity and treatment, as well as factors such as concerns about JIA, treatment-related complications, sense of normalcy and safety, and uncertainty about future harms. They also rely on trust in healthcare providers and other information sources for decision-making.

Summary: Biologic medications have greatly improved disease control and outcomes for patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but a substantial number of patients may require switching to a second biologic. The time to switch has decreased in recent years, and further studies are needed to evaluate outcomes and optimal timing of biologic switching.
