Common misconceptions and myths about ovarian cancer causation: a national cross-sectional study from palestine.

Background: Women's inability to recognize ovarian cancer (OC) causation myths to be incorrect may lead to behavioral changes that could distract them from actual risk factors and impact their treatment decision making. This study examined Palestinian women's recognition of OC mythical causes, and explored factors associated with good recognition.

Methods: A national cross-sectional study was conducted.

Patient experiences of the Long COVID-Optimal Health Programme: a qualitative interview study in community settings.

Background: Long COVID (LC) symptoms persist 12 weeks or more beyond the acute infection. To date, no standardised diagnostic or treatment pathways exist. However, a holistic approach has been recommended.

Anticipated time to seek medical advice for possible ovarian cancer symptoms and perceived barriers to early presentation among Palestinian women: a national cross-sectional study.

Background: Several factors contribute to delayed presentation with ovarian cancer (OC) symptoms including poor symptom awareness and barriers to seeking help. This study explored the anticipated time to seek medical advice for possible OC symptoms and its association with OC symptom awareness. In addition, it examined perceived barriers that may delay help-seeking among Palestinian women.

Experiences of people with long COVID: Symptoms, support strategies and the Long COVID Optimal Health Programme (LC-OHP).

Introduction: Long COVID (LC) is a multisystem illness, with fluctuating symptoms that affect the daily activities of patients. There are still no standardised diagnostic criteria or treatment approaches for managing LC. The LC-Optimal Health Programme (LC-OHP) was designed to support the mental wellbeing and physical health of people with LC.

Interventions to support mental health in people with long COVID: a scoping review.

Introduction: Long COVID (LC) is a multisystem disease with symptoms lasting weeks or months beyond the acute COVID-19 infection. Several manifestations are reported by people with LC, including effects on mental health, with varying degrees of psychological distress and disturbances to daily activities. Research conducted to identify effective interventions to support mental health among people with LC has been limited by the breadth and scope of studies.

Theory-informed strategies to address factors anticipated to influence implementation and people's participation in community pharmacy-based diabetes prevention services.

Background: Early identification of non-diabetic hyperglycaemia and implementation of diet and lifestyle changes can prevent type 2 diabetes. However, low participation in diabetes prevention services remains a problem in the UK. The community pharmacy, one of the most accessible healthcare settings in the UK, could provide one solution to improving participation.

Fouling resistance investigations of seaweed products.

Any solid, unprotected, and undefended surface in the aquatic environment will be fouled. Fouling, on the other hand, can affect a wide range of species that can tolerate some epibiosis. Several others, on the other hand, aggressively keep the epibionts off their body surface (antifouling).

A personalised intervention programme aimed at improving adherence to oral antidiabetic and/or antihypertensive medication in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the INTENSE study: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Medication non-adherence is a prevalent health problem in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Interventions have previously been developed to improve medication adherence, but inconsistent outcomes have been reported. A potential explanation for this inconsistency is a 'one size fits all' approach, with interventions not tailored to the needs and preferences of individuals.

Patient feedback on hospital pharmacists' consultation skills: A feasibility study using the Interpersonal Skills Questionnaire (ISQ).

Background: Improvement in practitioners' consultation skills (CSs) can be driven by patient feedback, however, to date, no study has been conducted with reference to pharmacy consultations. The Interpersonal Skills Questionnaire (ISQ) is potentially appropriate for collecting patient feedback on pharmacists' CSs. This study aims to explore the feasibility of collecting patient feedback on hospital pharmacists' CSs using the ISQ, to identify the acceptability of the feedback process, and to identify methods to enhance the process in the future.

Awareness of ovarian cancer risk and protective factors: A national cross-sectional study from Palestine.

Introduction: Having a good awareness of ovarian cancer (OC) risk and protective factors could facilitate early diagnosis. This study aimed to assess Palestinian women's awareness about OC risk and protective factors and to identify the factors associated with having good awareness.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2019 to March 2020 in the two main areas of Palestine: the West Bank and Jerusalem (WBJ) and the Gaza Strip.

Knowledge of ovarian cancer symptoms among women in Palestine: a national cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Ovarian cancer (OC) is often diagnosed at advanced stages. This study aimed to assess the Palestinian women's knowledge about OC symptoms and determine the factors associated with having good knowledge.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2019 to March 2020 in the two main areas of Palestine: the West Bank and Jerusalem as well as the Gaza Strip.

Exploring the views of community pharmacists on patient feedback on their consultations.

Objectives: To explore community pharmacists' (CPs) views on patient feedback on their consultations.

Methods: The study was conducted at community pharmacies in the East of England. Pharmacists employed at a large multiple pharmacy were invited to a telephone/face-to-face interview.

Unilateral Proptosis As An Initial Sign Of Acute Myeloid Leukemia In A Child: A Case Report.

Granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma) is a rare malignant solid tumor representing an extramedullary manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Rarely, a chloroma can develop as the sole manifestation and its appearance may precede the systemic manifestations of acute myelocytic leukemia by months to years. We report a rare case of unilateral orbital mass presenting with progressive proptosis involving left globe in an otherwise healthy child, and give a brief overview of the literature about this unusual presentation.

The community pharmacy setting for diabetes prevention: Views and perceptions of stakeholders.

Background: Diabetes prevention programmes delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes in people with pre-diabetes. To increase accessibility, national guidelines recommend delivering diabetes prevention programmes in primary care settings, including community pharmacy. This study aimed to explore the English community pharmacy setting as an option for delivering diabetes prevention services.

Exploring what patients think when answering the Interpersonal Skills Questionnaire (ISQ): A 'think aloud' study.

Background: The Interpersonal Skills Questionnaire (ISQ) was developed to collect patient feedback on consultation skills of practitioners. However, it has not yet been evaluated with pharmacists.

Objective: To explore the thinking process of patients as they completed the ISQ following a consultation with a pharmacist.

Patient feedback questionnaires to enhance consultation skills of healthcare professionals: A systematic review.

Objective: To identify patient feedback questionnaires that assess the development of consultation skills (CSs) of practitioners.

Methods: We conducted a systematic search using seven databases from inception to January 2017 to identify self-completed patient feedback questionnaires assessing and enhancing the development of CSs of individual practitioners. Results were checked for eligibility by three authors, and disagreements were resolved by discussion.

Prevalence of differentiated thyroid cancer in 810 cases of surgically treated goiter in Yemen.

Background: In 1990, the World Health Organization (WHO) suggested that severe iodine deficiency exists in Yemen. Therefore, we looked at the prevalence of differentiated thyroid goiter in 810 cases consecutively treated by surgery for goiter.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of 810 surgically operated cases of goiter over a 5-year period (1999-2003).
