Nature visits, but not residential greenness, are associated with reduced income-related inequalities in subjective well-being
Health Place. 2024 Jan;85:103175. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2024.103175. Epub 2024 Jan 23.ABSTRACTNature exposure can promote human health and well-being. Additionally, there is some, albeit mixed, evidence that this relationship is stronger for socio-economically disadvantaged groups (equigenesis). Using a cross-sectional survey of the Austrian population (N = 2300), we explored the relationships between both residential greenness and recreational nature visits, and affective (WHO-5 Well-Being Index) and evaluative (Personal Well-Being Index-7) subjective well-being. Partially supporting the equigenesis hypothesis, regre...

Real-World Evidence of Triplet Therapy in Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer: An Austrian Multicenter Study
CONCLUSIONS: Triplet therapy arrived in clinical practice primarily for synchronous high-volume mHSPC. Regardless of selected therapy regimen, treatment is highly effective and tolerable. Preferably therapy should be administered simultaneously, however if not possible, chemotherapy should be started first.PMID:38267304 | DOI:10.1016/j.clgc.2023.12.018 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Vaccine hesitancy among physicians: a qualitative study with general practitioners and paediatricians in Austria and Germany
Conclusions More studies on a connection between complementary medicine and vaccine-hesitant views of HCWs are needed. Education about vaccines and infectious diseases among healthworkers must increase especially tailored towards the use of internet and social media. Physicians should be made aware that through time and empathy towards their patients they could have a positive impact on undecided patients and parents regarding vaccine decisions.

Safety and efficacy of the Woven Endo-Bridge-17 device for intracranial aneurysm treatment: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the WEB-17 device is associated with a high rate of technical success, favorable angiographic outcomes, and a low rate of periprocedural complications. Further research, including prospective trials, is needed to confirm these findings and establish its safety and efficacy definitively.PMID:38234203 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231226294 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)
