Z Geburtshilfe Neonatol. 2017 Dec;221(6):272-275 Authors: Yuan SM Abstract In neonates, the management of ductus dependent pulmonary circulation is challenging. There have been three palliative therapies for this lesion: the modified Blalock-Taussig shunt, ductal stenting and prostaglandin E infusions, for maintaining the ductal patency before definite operations. Debates remain with regard to the indications and disadvantages of three palliative therapies. The aim of this article is to give a brief review of these three palliative therapies.

BMJ Evid Based Med. 2018 Aug;23(4):131-136 Authors: Kernohan WG, Brown MJ, Payne C, Guerin S Abstract In order to ensure the effective transfer of research knowledge to those who can effect positive changes in practice, models of knowledge transfer and exchange (KTE) are required. Limited evidence exists as to how palliative care researchers use existing models to support their practice and to what extent they are perceived as effective. We set out to identify factors that influence KTE planning and implementation through semistructured interviews with experienced…

CA Cancer J Clin. 2018 09;68(5):356-376 Authors: Hui D, Hannon BL, Zimmermann C, Bruera E Abstract Over the past decade, a large body of evidence has accumulated supporting the integration of palliative care into oncology practice for patients with advanced cancer. The question is no longer whether palliative care should be offered, but what is the optimal model of delivery, when is the ideal time to refer, who is in greatest need of a referral, and how much palliative care should oncologists themselves be providing.…
