Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify gaps in knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding antimicrobial resistance among general practitioners, patients, and farmers in Uzbekistan.
- A survey conducted from March to October 2020 revealed significant issues, with 66.5% of general practitioners not following prescription guidelines, and misconceptions among patients and farmers about antibiotics' effectiveness and uses.

Background: Individuals with high blood pressure in India often miss essential follow-up visits. Missed visits contribute to gaps across the hypertension care continuum and preventable cardiovascular disease. Widespread misconceptions around hypertension care and treatment may contribute to low follow-up attendance rates, but to date, there is limited evidence of the effect of interventions to debunk such misconceptions on health-seeking behavior.

Methods: We performed a scoping review of the literature from 1 January 2018 to 26 January 2023 on PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus electronic databases.
Objectives: A working group conducted a survey on the use of the principle of buffer space (BS), which in case of emergencies, could benefit healthcare settings. The aim of the preliminary investigation is to define new research lines in hospitals' functional design.
Background: The global experience of the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted challenges faced by hospitals when responding promptly to emergencies, including spatial reorganization and suspension of ordinary medical activities for ensuring adequate management of the emergency surge of patients.
