Summary: This study explores the obstacles and strategies for successful collaboration in oncology palliative care (PC) services. Through interviews and focus group discussions, the lack of knowledge and connection, beliefs and attitudes towards collaboration, and values and attitudes towards optimal care were identified as the main obstacles. Strategies promoting interprofessional collaboration and changing the perception of PC services as a medical specialty are crucial to enhancing patient care.

Summary: Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to machines exhibiting human-like intelligence, and it has already had a significant impact on industries such as entertainment, transportation, and communications. AI is also expected to influence medicine and healthcare. In the field of orthopaedics, interest in AI-based techniques has grown rapidly, and the technical nature of orthopaedic surgery makes it a potential area for AI to transform musculoskeletal care. However, orthopaedic surgeons lack knowledge about AI-based techniques and their application, which calls for a better understanding to identify potential pitfalls and improve trust in AI-based analytics.

Summary: In cancer care, MDT meetings are crucial, but concerns have been raised regarding their quality. This study analyzes the dynamics of teamwork in MDT meetings, finding that surgeons initiate and respond to interactions the most, speaking 47% of the time. Cancer nurse specialists and coordinators are the least frequent initiators, speaking only 4% and 1% respectively. The study also reveals high interactivity in the meetings, with an initiator-responder ratio of 1:1.63, and an increase in verbal dysfluencies in the second half.

Summary: Surgical patients who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition preoperatively have an increased risk of negative outcomes. Optimizing nutritional status is crucial throughout the perioperative continuum for better surgical outcomes. Malnutrition is common in surgical patients and worsens health outcomes, highlighting the importance of prevention, detection, and treatment. Preoperative nutritional therapy has shown positive effects on muscle health, while postoperative nutritional support, including enteral and parenteral feeding routes and immunonutrition, benefits surgical outcomes. Nutrition remains important beyond the hospital stay and should be prioritized post-discharge. The impact of individualized or personalized nutrition based on patient characteristics requires further investigation. The literature emphasizes the importance of perioperative nutrition despite ongoing debates.

Summary: This study analyzed gender issues in a university-based medical science laboratory in northern Taiwan, including perceptions of gender, gender neutrality in the work environment, and the impact of gender on researchers' academic careers. The findings showed that gender was not associated with performance in medical sciences and the laboratories were largely gender-neutral. However, instances of discrimination might have been hidden due to underreporting. The medical science research culture in Chang Gung University seemed to promote respect and equality, but challenges such as marriage, motherhood, and family obligations hindered the academic careers of female scientists.
