Background: The benefits and risks of extending anticoagulant treatment beyond the first 3 to 6 months in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) in clinical practice are not well understood.
Methods: ETNA-VTE Europe is a prospective, noninterventional, post-authorization study in unselected patients with VTE treated with edoxaban in eight European countries for up to 18 months. Recurrent VTE, major bleeding, and all-cause death were the primary study outcomes.
Virtual Reality Combined With Psychoeducation to Improve Emotional Well-Being in Informal Caregivers of Alzheimer's Disease Patients: Rationale and Study Design of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objectives: Care for community-dwelling people with dementia is frequently delegated to relatives, who find themselves in the role of informal caregivers with no practical management knowledge. This situation exposes caregivers to increased risk for emotional wellbeing. The current study aims to test whether the integration of the efficacy of an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience into an online psychoeducational program impacts caregiver empathy and therefore emotional wellbeing.

Aim: To assess the accuracy of CIT to discriminate SBS from healthy controls (HC) and SBS with intestinal failure (SBS-IF), requiring intravenous supplementation (IVS), from SBS with intestinal insufficiency (SBS-II).
Article Synopsis
- * The article reviews current evidence and best practices for managing cancer-related VTE, highlighting complexities in treatment for patients with various tumors and specific health issues.
- * Traditional treatments, like vitamin K antagonists and low-molecular-weight heparins, are being supplemented by new options like direct oral anticoagulants, though treatment must be tailored to individual patient circumstances.
Rationale: To investigate the association between malnutrition and patient outcome following hospitalisation for Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Methods: In April 2020, 268 adult patients (235 included in the follow-up) hospitalised for COVID-19 infection were evaluated for malnutrition risk and diagnosis using modified Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 and modified Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria (GLIM), respectively. An 18-month follow-up was carried out to assess the incidence and the associated risk factors for death and re-hospitalization.
