Caregivers' perceptions of lying to people with dementia in Denmark: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that the caregivers perceived lying to be a legitimate strategy when caring for people with dementia; surprisingly, some did not recognize their practices as constituting acts of lying at all. This finding carries significant clinical relevance, as the varying perceptions of lying underscore the potential need for a consistent approach to deception. Addressing this complexity can lead to more ethical caregiving practices, ultimately enhancing the quality of care provided to people with dementia.PMID:38695385 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2345778 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)

Evidence-based care for suicidality as an ethical and professional imperative: How to decrease suicidal suffering and save lives
Am Psychol. 2024 May 2. doi: 10.1037/amp0001325. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSuicide is a major public and mental health problem in the United States and around the world. According to recent survey research, there were 16,600,000 American adults and adolescents in 2022 who reported having serious thoughts of suicide (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2023), which underscores a profound need for effective clinical care for people who are suicidal. Yet there is evidence that clinical providers may avoid patients who are suicidal (out of fear and perceived concerns about malpractice liability) and ...

Health care itineraries for women in situations of abortion: methodological aspects of a qualitative study for Birth in Brazil II survey
Cad Saude Publica. 2024 Apr 29;40(4):e00006223. doi: 10.1590/0102-311XPT006223. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTIn recent decades, several academic studies on abortion have been produced in Brazil, with different designs, objectives, and methodologies. However, due to the diversity of situations in which Brazilian women experience abortion, the complexity of this topic, and its modulations in different political and sociocultural contexts, it still challenges academicians and the fields of health and reproductive rights. In this article, we present methodological aspects of a qualitative study on health care itineraries of women ...

Evaluating aortomesenteric parameters in a tertiary center of Nepal for superior mesenteric artery syndrome diagnosis and risk factors: cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: The study concludes that decreased BMI may pose a potential risk for SMA syndrome, as evidenced by the observed correlations with aortomesenteric parameters. Understanding these normal values in the Nepalese population is critical for accurate diagnoses and predictions using CT scans. The research highlights the impact of demographic factors on these parameters and emphasizes their significance in clinical assessments related to SMA syndrome.PMID:38694377 | PMC:PMC11060225 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001962 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Unlocking the gut-heart axis: exploring the role of gut microbiota in cardiovascular health and disease
CONCLUSION: The gut microbiota is emerging as a potential therapeutic target for CVD prevention and management. However, current research has limitations, including the need for larger and more diverse studies, the challenges of establishing causality, and concerns regarding the long-term consequences and safety of gut microbiota modulation. Despite these limitations, understanding the gut-heart axis holds promise for the development of personalized therapies and interventions for cardiovascular health. Further research is needed to expand our knowledge and address the ethical and safety issues associated with gut microbio...

Saxon Epidemiological Study in General Practice-6 (SESAM-6): protocol of a cross-sectional study
Introduction
General practitioners (GPs) are mostly the first point of contact for patients with health problems in Germany. There is only a limited epidemiological overview data that describe the GP consultation hours based on other than billing data. Therefore, the aim of Saxon Epidemiological Study in General Practice-6 (SESAM-6) is to examine the frequency of reasons for encounter, prevalence of long-term diagnosed diseases and diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in general practice. This knowledge is fundamental to identify the healthcare needs and to develop strategies to improve the GP care. The results of the stud...
