A new single-centre experience from Guimarães (Portugal) describes a Home Support Mobile Unit (HSMU) delivering high-dose IV furosemide at home (predominantly continuous infusion) for patients with advanced heart failure (NYHA III–IV) and recurrent decompensations.

In 28 AHF patients treated between 2018–2025, home IV diuretics were associated with a meaningful drop in healthcare utilization (hospitalizations ± ED visits), with complications uncommon and manageable (mainly renal/electrolyte issues) under close HF nurse + cardiologist supervision.

If you’re building multidisciplinary, home-based/palliative HF pathways, this is a practical model worth looking at.

Cancer care isn’t only about treatment — it’s also about how patients are received back into everyday life.

Authors standardize the Oncology Patients Social Acceptance Questionnaire (OSA-7): a brief 7-item tool designed to quantify social acceptance (and potential stigma-related distance) toward people with cancer.

In a Polish adult sample (n=200), the scale showed solid psychometrics and a clear one-factor structure — but the most “actionable” insight is that even generally supportive attitudes can still coexist with discomfort about how to talk/react in real-life relationships. That’s exactly the gap many psycho-oncology and public-education initiatives aim to close.

🧠 How does the public understand “futile therapy” in end-of-life / ICU decision-making?

A nationwide Polish survey (n=1,019 adults) suggests that while many respondents can broadly identify futile therapy, detailed awareness of patients’ rights and legal/ethical frameworks remains limited—and a meaningful proportion still conflates withdrawal of futile therapy with euthanasia.

What should weigh most in discontinuation decisions: prognosis, suffering, patient will, or family input? The answers may surprise clinicians working at the bedside.

Dear Authors, Dear Readers,

To ensure the highest quality of scholarly communication and faster dissemination of research, Palliative Medicine in Practice (Via Medica) will transition to a Continuous Publishing (CP) model starting 1 January 2026.

What is Continuous Publishing?
- Articles are published online as soon as peer review, editorial, production, and publishing workflows are complete—no need to wait for a full issue.

For Authors
- Shorter time from acceptance to publication
- Each article is the core unit (no issue assignment, no traditional page numbering)
- Clear identifiers: DOI, article number (e-locator), and annual volume attribution
- Peer-review, editorial requirements, and ethics remain unchanged
- The online article is the final version of record (corrections via erratum or, when justified, retraction)

For Readers
- Immediate access to the most recent content—no issue-based delays
- Clear archive organized by year and annual volume
- Modern, DOI-based citations for precise referencing

What stays the same
- The journal’s scientific scope
- Peer-review standards
- Indexing in scholarly databases
- The annual volume’s bibliographic and archival role

By adopting CP, we align the journal with contemporary scholarly communication, increase timeliness, and reduce time-to-access for our community.

Yours sincerely,
Publisher – Via Medica

❤️ New issue out now: “Palliative Medicine in Practice”, Vol. 19, No. 4 (2025)

Dear Readers,
we’re pleased to share the latest issue of Palliative Medicine in Practice — the official journal of the Polish Association for Palliative Care. This number features 2 original research papers, 4 reviews, 2 brief communications, 1 case report, and a conference report.

🔹 ORIGINAL ARTICLES
• Spirituality and resilience in health professionals who provide palliative care — a correlational study in 106 clinicians shows a positive association between spirituality and resilience (Rho = 0.465, p < 0.001); self-awareness is the spirituality dimension most strongly linked to resilience. Practical takeaway: build protected spaces for reflective practice. (pp. 270–276)
• Palliative care physicians workforce in Saudi Arabia: demographics, distributions, and future challenges — 110 palliative physicians identified; physician-to-population ratio 1:292,500; only 9% of Ministry of Health hospitals provide palliative care. Highlights major regional disparities and calls for education and primary-care integration. (pp. 277–284)

🔹 REVIEW ARTICLES
• Spirituality in palliative care: a systematic review of aromatherapy interventions — comprehensive search; no eligible studies found → clear evidence gap for aromatherapy’s impact on spiritual well-being in PC. (pp. 285–290)
• Psychological aspects of mourning the loss to cancer — narrative review of bereavement mechanisms and risks of prolonged/complicated grief after oncologic death; emphasizes hospice/PC roles in prevention. (pp. 291–305)
• Perinatal palliative care in Poland: current legal status, organization, standards and guidelines — up-to-date overview of the legal/organizational framework and practice standards. (pp. 306–311)
• An overview of the role of artificial intelligence in palliative care: a quasi-systematic review — 17 studies summarized; current AI use concentrates on mortality prediction, emerging roles in CDS and communication; performance promising but practical communication tools still immature. (pp. 312–319)

🔹 BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS
• Integrating compassion and policy: Highlights from IAHPC Advocacy, 2025 — snapshot of IAHPC’s global efforts (WHA/WHO/INCB, LEAD2, interfaith & educational initiatives) to embed PC in UHC. (pp. 320–322)
• The role of family support in palliative care: challenges and best practices — literature review (PubMed, 09/2024): caregiver burden is substantial; training, multi-dimensional support and strong team communication are pivotal. (pp. 323–329)

🔹 CASE REPORT
• Combined tramadol and morphine overdose — a rare case report — successful management with naloxone and supportive care; underscores safety counseling and suicide-risk screening in opioid therapy. (pp. 330–333)

🔹 CONFERENCE REPORT
• Report from the IV International Zielonogórska Conference: Supportive Care, Palliative Medicine and Pain Management — national-scale meeting focused on integrating supportive and palliative care with oncology. (pp. 334–338)

Spiritual care competencies of physicians in palliative care — what does the evidence say?
This scoping review (2013–2023; 12 studies) maps how physicians understand, learn, and deliver spiritual care in palliative settings. Key takeaways: spiritual care is integral to holistic practice; EAPC recommendations set clear competency domains (self-reflection, spiritual history & assessment, integrating needs into care plans, cultural/religious sensitivity); and concise, hands-on training measurably improves clinicians’ confidence—and in some studies, patient outcomes. The authors also note a research gap and implementation lag in Central/Eastern Europe, pointing to the need for tailored curricula. Curious about the tools (e.g., F**A, FACIT-Sp) and training formats that actually work?

Can sleep hygiene reduce anxiety and depression in dialysis patients?

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the authors evaluated the impact of sleep hygiene interventions — including education and behavioral strategies — on anxiety and depression levels in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
The results from four randomized controlled trials show that sleep hygiene significantly reduces depressive symptoms and may also help alleviate anxiety, making it a promising complementary therapy in clinical nephrology and palliative care.

Body image & social functioning in Polish patients with facial/head BCC on vismodegib — what really matters?
Prospective multicentre survey (n=61; 5 Polish centres; Jan–Nov 2021) of patients with facial/head BCC treated in the national drug program with vismodegib assessed perceived social functioning (custom questionnaire; Cronbach α=0.78) and Body Esteem Scale domains.
Key findings:
• Older age correlated with higher perceived support (family/friends) and fewer shame/avoidance responses. Social support appears protective.
• Social functioning limitations correlated with negative head/face body image (rho −0.41 and −0.354, respectively).
• No overall correlation between number of treatments and limitations in social functioning; a weak link existed only with the item “I limit contacts because I’m ashamed of how I look.”
• Frequently reported AEs on vismodegib: hair loss 50.8%, muscle cramps 49.2%, loss of appetite 49.2%, taste disturbance 39.3%.
Clinical takeaway: incorporate psycho-oncology and prehabilitation early; address UV risk education; monitor body-image concerns—especially in younger/lonelier patients or those with highly visible lesions.

🎓 Can duloxetine outperform pregabalin in managing chemotherapy-induced neuropathy?
📚 A new randomized clinical trial, published in Palliative Medicine in Practice, explores a critical question in supportive oncology: Which agent is more effective and better tolerated for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathic pain (CIPN) — pregabalin or duloxetine?

🔷 Conducted at a tertiary care center in India, the study compared both drugs over a 4-week treatment period using validated tools such as the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and the DN4 questionnaire.

🔷 Beyond efficacy, the authors examined tolerability profiles and patient-reported outcomes, offering practical insight into real-world decision-making for managing CIPN.

💬 The findings reveal notable differences in both clinical outcomes and side-effect profiles — with implications for first-line pharmacologic choices in CIPN management.

👀 Want to see how pain scores changed week by week for both drugs?
