    Abstract With increased need for palliative care and limited staffing resources, non-social workers are increasingly responsible for screening for urgent psychosocial distress. The National Consensus Project guidelines call for all palliative care team members to be competent in screening across domains. Yet, in contrast to an abundance of evidence-informed tools for palliative social work assessments, standardization for interprofessional psychosocial screening is lacking. This lack of standardized practice may lead to harmful disparities in care delivery. The purpose of this narrative review is to examine current literature on evidence-informed practices for psychosocial screening within palliative care. Google Scholar, a university Summon library search engine, and prominent palliative care journals were searched using the same phrases to locate articles for inclusion. Each article was reviewed and synthesized across common themes. Although an abundance of validated screening tools exists for outpatient oncology-specific settings, there is minimal guidance on psychosocial screening tools intended for specialty palliative care. The most oft-cited tools have been met with concern for validity across diverse palliative care populations and settings. Additional research is needed to operationalize and measure brief psychosocial screening tools that can be validated for use by interprofessional palliative care teams, a stepping-stone for increased equity in palliative care practice.

    Abstract Molecular dynamics simulations of cellular membranes have come a long way-from simple model lipid bilayers to multicomponent systems capturing the crowded and complex nature of real cell membranes. In this opinionated minireview, we discuss the current challenge to simulate the dynamics of membranes in their native environment, in situ, with the prospect of reaching the level of whole cells and cell organelles using an integrative modeling framework.

    Abstract Amyloidosis can lead to cardiac, renal, and other multiorgan failure. New treatments have become available that can prolong survival but rely on early diagnosis. Manifestations of amyloidosis in hand surgery include carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, peripheral neuropathy, and spontaneous distal biceps rupture. Often, these can predate systemic amyloidosis, offering hand surgeons an opportunity to diagnose patients with amyloidosis before systemic disease, refer them for treatment, and potentially alter disease course and prolong survival. In this review, we describe the pathophysiology and two most common subtypes of amyloidosis seen by hand surgeons. We provide guidance on biopsy practices and referral for patients with amyloidosis. Lastly, we provide a brief overview of the treatments for amyloidosis and their effect on disease course.

    Abstract Coexisting serious illness and posttraumatic stress place hospitalized individuals at risk for complex pain, anxiety, and retraumatization. Hospital palliative care social workers increasingly recognize the value of trauma-informed care (TIC) for reducing harm in the inpatient setting. Despite this recognition, there is limited operationalization of TIC principles for inpatient interventions. This paper integrates each TIC principle with inpatient psychosocial interventions to advance trauma-informed competencies among inpatient palliative care social workers and to provide a foundation for future TIC implementation research.

    Abstract Purpose: Diabetes mellitus causes diabetic keratopathy (DK). This and other ocular surface disorders are underdiagnosed and problematic for affected patients as well as recipients of diabetic donor corneas. Thus, it is important to find noninvasive means to facilitate determination of the potentially vision-threatening DK. It has been reported that diabetic corneas uptake significantly less oxygen (O2) than healthy controls. However, an integral assessment of the ocular surface is missing.
    Methods: Using an optic-fiber O2 micro-sensor (optrode) we demonstrated recently that the healthy ocular surface displays a unique spatiotemporal map of O2 consumption. We hypothesize that diabetes impairs the spatiotemporal profile of O2 uptake at the ocular surface.
    Results: Using streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice, we found diminished O2 uptake and loss of the unique pattern across the ocular surface. A diabetic cornea consumes significantly less O2 at the bulbar conjunctiva and limbus, but not the central and peripheral cornea, compared to controls. Further, we show that, contrary to the healthy cornea, the diabetic cornea does not increase the O2 consumption at the limbus in the evening as the normal control.
    Conclusions: Altogether, our measurements reveal a previously unknown impairment in O2 uptake at the diabetic cornea, making it a potential tool to diagnose ocular surface abnormalities and suggesting a new etiology mechanism.

    Abstract Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc) is an autoimmune disease that causes significant dysfunction to multiple organ systems, including the musculoskeletal system. It poses significant challenges to the hand surgeon, including calcinosis, ischemic changes, Raynaud phenomenon, tendinopathies, synovitis, and joint contractures. Patients with SSc also suffer from multiorgan dysfunction, which makes them high-risk surgical patients. The hand surgeon must understand the pathophysiology, treatment strategies, and special operative considerations required in this population to avoid complications and help maintain or improve hand function.

    Abstract Background and aim: This study aimed to assess utilization of health-care services in people with decompensated cirrhosis (DC) or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and a "late diagnosis" of hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
    Methods: Hepatitis B and C cases during 1997-2016 in Victoria, Australia, were linked with hospitalizations, deaths, liver cancer diagnoses, and medical services. A late diagnosis was defined as hepatitis B or hepatitis C notification occurring after, at the same time, or within 2 years preceding an HCC/DC diagnosis. Services provided during the 10-year period before HCC/DC diagnosis were assessed, including general practitioner (GP) or specialist visits, emergency department presentations, hospital admissions, and blood tests.
    Results: Of the 25 766 notified cases of hepatitis B, 751 (2.9%) were diagnosed with HCC/DC, and hepatitis B was diagnosed late in 385 (51.3%). Of 44 317 cases of hepatitis C, 2576 (5.8%) were diagnosed with HCC/DC, and hepatitis C was diagnosed late in 857 (33.3%). Although late diagnosis dropped over time, missed opportunities for timely diagnosis were observed. Most people diagnosed late had visited a GP (97.4% for hepatitis B, 98.9% for hepatitis C) or had a blood test (90.9% for hepatitis B, 88.6% for hepatitis C) during the 10 years before HCC/DC diagnosis. The median number of GP visits was 24 and 32, and blood tests 7 and 8, for hepatitis B and C, respectively.
    Conclusions: Late diagnosis of viral hepatitis remains a concern, with the majority having frequent health-care service provision in the preceding period, indicating missed opportunities for diagnosis.
