Real-World Evidence of Dydrogesterone 20 mg and 30 mg SR Usage in Pregnancy.

Background Dydrogesterone, an oral selective progesterone receptor agonist with high bioavailability, has been used since the 1960s to treat various conditions arising due to the deficiency of progesterone. Patients are expected to have additional compliance and reduced pill burden with dydrogesterone 20 mg and 30 mg SR once a day (OD) for conditions requiring 10 mg twice a day (BID) or thrice a day (TID). Methodology A real-world analysis was conducted using the HealthPlix electronic medical records (EMR) database to understand the demography, indications, and prescription patterns of dydrogesterone 20 mg and 30 mg SR, including co-prescriptions.

Stakeholder Perspectives on the School Food Environment: Insights from South African Learners-A Pilot Study.

Leveraging learner-driven insights to enhance the SFE can significantly influence food choices by decreasing the consumption of unhealthy foods and increasing access to healthier options. Using learners' voices as important stakeholders in the school food environment (SFE), this qualitative research study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of their perspectives, identify barriers and enablers to fostering a healthy SFE in South African public schools, and explore the link between the SFE and learners' food choices. Six focus group discussions (FGDs) with 4-6 participants were held in six schools, including three primary and three secondary schools in the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education's iLembe district, SA, with learners aged 12-14 and 15-18 years, respectively.

Central effects of acute intranasal insulin on neuroimaging, cognitive, and behavioural outcomes: A systematic review.

The distribution of insulin receptors throughout the brain implicates insulin in physiological functions and disease states, including cognition, appetite, mood, and metabolic disorders. Intranasally administered insulin offers a non-invasive approach for isolating and investigating brain insulin action. This systematic review synthesized the effects of acute intranasal insulin on neuroimaging, cognitive, and behavioural outcomes reported in 48 studies in adults.
