This educational article explores the convergence of open science practices and traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM), shedding light on the potential benefits and challenges of open science for the development, dissemination, and implementation of evidence-based TCIM. We emphasize the transformative shift in medical science towards open and collaborative practices, highlighting the limited application of open science in TCIM research despite its growing acceptance among patients. We define open science practices and discuss those that are applicable to TCIM, including: study registration; reporting guidelines; data, code and material sharing; preprinting; publishing open access; and reproducibility/replication studies...

Sudden Cardiac Death is a leading medical cause of death in athletes of all ages. Recently there has been a shift from an authoritarian approach to that of using a Shared Decision Making (SDM) model in eligibility decisions of athletes with cardiovascular decisions. SDM in elite athletics can be complex and collaboration amongst the athlete, family, physicians, athletic trainers, and institutional stakeholders is critical. SDM acknowledges the complexities of a collaboration between sports cardiologists bringing disease and sport-specific expertise, and team physicians, in complementary fashion to integrate medical knowledge, clinical uncertainty, athlete and family values, and institutional philosophies and risk tolerance...

INTRODUCTION: Due to the global aging trend, the number of older people who will spend the last years of their lives in nursing homes is increasing. However, nursing homes have long confronted negative social and public discourses, including stigmas on dementia and life in such facilities. Nevertheless, the remaining time of residents with dementia holds significance, for them and their families, as they seek respect and the ability to make meaningful end-of-life decisions. OBJECTIVE: To explore how nursing home nurses advocate for the remaining lifetimes of residents with dementia...

The arising of the Cyber-Physical Systems' vision and concepts drives technological evolution toward a new architectural design for the infrastructure of an environment referred to as a Smart Environment. This perspective alters the way systems within Smart City landscapes are conceived, designed, and ultimately realized. Modular architecture, resource-sharing techniques, and precise deployment approaches (such as microservices-oriented or reliant on the FaaS paradigm) serve as the cornerstones of a Smart City cognizant of multiple Cyber-Physical Systems composing it...

BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer, caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, is the second-largest cancer killer of women in low- and middle-income countries. The brunt of the global burden is borne predominantly in Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2020 alone, 70,000 of the 100,000 infected women in Africa died from it, thereby making up 21% of global cervical cancer mortality. The introduction of the HPV vaccine into the National Immunization Program was expected to change the trajectory. However, uptake of the vaccination has been poor, especially for the second dose...

Hematologic malignancies most often present in the sixth or seventh decade of life. Even so, many older adults may be unable to tolerate standard chemotherapy or require supplementary care or dose adjustments to do so. Both in community and academic centers, geriatric assessment (GA) can be used to improve the care of older adults with blood cancers. For example, hematologic oncologists can use GA to guide treatment selection, adjusting for patient frailty and goals, as well as prompt initiation of enhanced supportive care...

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a treatable cancer with an incidence peak in adolescent and young adult years. Treatment strategies have been developed to balance the intensity of therapy needed to maintain disease-free survival while simultaneously preserving overall survival. Risk-based, response-adapted frontline therapy has long used a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT). Successive clinical trials over the past three decades have safely reduced cumulative alkylator, anthracycline, and RT exposures for many patients...
