    Abstract Attorneys may hold expectations about jurors based on stereotypes about the relationships between demographic characteristics and attitudes. Attorneys test their hypotheses about prospective jurors during voir dire, but it is unclear whether their questioning strategies are likely to produce accurate information from jurors. In 2 studies, attorneys and law students formulated voir dire questions to test a particular hypothesis about the attitudes held by a prospective juror (venireperson) and provided their subsequent inferences about that individual given certain hypothetical responses to the questions. Bayes's theorem was used to compare attorneys' actual conclusions about the venireperson with the conclusions they would reach if correctly using the available information. Attorneys' conclusions were biased by the questions they asked, and in some cases, by the hypothesis that they were asked to test. Compared with normative models derived using Bayes' theorem, attorneys overrelied on venirepersons' responses when drawing conclusions about their attitudes. These findings suggest that even if traditional attorney-conducted voir dire elicited accurate information about prospective jurors' attitudes, attorneys may not use that information to draw normatively accurate conclusions about the attitudes that they hold.

    Abstract Background: Although there is growing recognition of the importance of integrating spirituality within health care, there is little evidence to guide clinicians in how to best communicate with patients and family about their spiritual or existential concerns.
    Methods: Using an audio-recorded home hospice nurse visit immediately following the death of a patient as a case-study, we identify spiritually-sensitive communication strategies.
    Results: The nurse incorporates spirituality in her support of the family by 1) creating space to allow for the expression of emotions and spiritual beliefs and 2) encouraging meaning-based coping, including emphasizing the caregivers' strengths and reframing negative experiences.
    Discussion: Hospice provides an excellent venue for modeling successful examples of spiritual communication. Health care professionals can learn these techniques to support patients and families in their own holistic practice.
    Implications for practice: All health care professionals benefit from proficiency in spiritual communication skills. Attention to spiritual concerns ultimately improves care.

  9. Article: A Phase III study to assess the clinical utility of low-dose fentanyl transdermal system in patients with chronic nonmalignant pain.

    Abstract Background: The transdermal fentanyl delivery system (fentanyl TTS; Duragesic) is currently widely available in patch strengths of 25, 50, 75, and 100 microg/h. However, a lower dose of 12 microg/h would allow optimal titration and fine tuning of the analgesic effect, and may be beneficial in certain patient populations such as the elderly or opioid-naïve. A 12 microg/h fentanyl TTS patch has been developed, and the clinical efficacy and safety tested in this single-arm, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter, 28-day trial in opioid-exposed and -naïve patients with moderate to severe pain for at least 6 months.
    Patients: Patients were treated with fentanyl TTS for 28 days in an intent-to-treat manner starting at 12 microg/h (one patch), titrated upwards in increments of 12 mug/h to a maximum dose of 36 microg/h (three patches).
    Results: A total of 227 patients were enrolled. The majority of patients with a "global assessment of therapy" of fair/poor at baseline (63.4%) improved to good/very good, while 28.9% of patients with an assessment of good/very good at baseline worsened to fair/poor at endpoint. The average pain intensity levels for the efficacy evaluable population steadily decreased over the course of the trial. The adverse event (AE) profile of fentanyl TTS in this trial was generally similar to that identified in previous fentanyl TTS trials, and no unexpected safety issues or AEs were noted. Furthermore, the drop-out rate in this trial was lower than has been noted in previous trials.
    Conclusion: This trial demonstrated that the lower 12 microg/h dose of fentanyl TTS provided a therapeutic benefit in non-malignant chronic pain, with a similar AE rate but a lower drop-out rate than that seen in trials at higher doses. This lower dose may, therefore, be of particular benefit to elderly or opioid-naïve patients.

    Abstract BACKGROUND:Information is needed on the safety of adalimumab when used in pregnancy for the treatment of certain autoimmune diseases. METHODS AND FINDINGS:Between 2004 and 2016, the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists Research Center at the University of California San Diego conducted a prospective controlled observational cohort study in 602 pregnant women who had or had not taken adalimumab. Women in the adalimumab-exposed cohort had received at least one dose of the drug in the first trimester for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn's Disease (N = 257). Women in the disease comparison cohort had not used adalimumab in pregnancy (N = 120). Women in the healthy comparison cohort had no rheumatic or inflammatory bowel diseases (N = 225). Women and their infants were followed to one year postpartum with maternal interviews, medical records abstraction, and physical examinations. Study outcomes were major structural birth defects, minor defects, spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, pre and post-natal growth deficiency, serious or opportunistic infections and malignancies. 42/602 (7.0%) of pregnancies were lost-to-follow-up. 22/221 (10.0%) in the adalimumab-exposed cohort had a live born infant with a major birth defect compared to 8/106 (7.5%) in the diseased unexposed cohort (adjusted odds ratio 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.45 to 2.73). Women in the adalimumab-exposed cohort were more likely to deliver preterm compared to the healthy cohort (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.59, 95% CI 1.22 to 5.50), but not compared to the diseased unexposed cohort (aHR 0.82, 95% CI 0.66 to 7.20). No significant increased risks were noted with adalimumab exposure for any other study outcomes. CONCLUSIONS:Adalimumab exposure in pregnancy compared to diseased unexposed pregnancies was not associated with an increased risk for any of the adverse outcomes examined. Women with rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn's Disease were at increased risk of preterm delivery, irrespective of adalimumab exposure.
