XaMINA: A Real-World, Prospective, Observational Study of Treatment-Na ïve Patients Treated with Rivaroxaban for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation in Asia
CONCLUSION: XaMINA demonstrated low incidence rates of major bleeding events and thromboembolic events in patients with NVAF newly initiating rivaroxaban in South Korea and Taiwan, consistent with previous real-world studies reconfirming the results of the ROCKET AF study.TRIAL REGISTRATION: The trial was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier NCT03284762) on 15 September 2017.PMID:35616848 | DOI:10.1007/s12325-022-02102-8

From self-care behaviours to cardiometabolic risks prevention for the health of farmers: Nursing implications
CONCLUSION: The farmers in this study had a high prevalence of cardiometabolic risks, a high probability of stroke, inadequate number of remaining teeth and poor oral hygiene behaviours. These findings can provide evidence to develop health promotion programmes for farmers.IMPACT: This study demonstrates the health needs of farmers. We strongly recommend that community nurses empower farmers to engage in self-care behaviours through tailored health promotion programmes. For instance, by discussing cardiometabolic risk prevention from the farmers' perspectives to improve their health literacy.PMID:36695405 | DOI:10.1111/jan.15571

Long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and associations with cardiopulmonary diseases and lung cancer in Taiwan: a nationwide longitudinal cohort study
ConclusionsLong-term exposure to intermediate levels of ambient PM2.5 was associated with cardiopulmonary health outcomes. Our study adds value to future application and national burden of disease estimation in evaluating the health co-benefits from ambient air pollution reduction policy in Asian countries.
