Contextual factors influencing the use of digital health by patients and physicians in primary care: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Integrating digital health technologies to improve the overall performance of healthcare systems counts among the top priorities of the WHO. As evidenced in recent research, there are specific factors that may decisively determine the effective implementation and development of innovative digital health solutions. This review attempts to recognise and map the existing body of research and evidence to identify the determinants that either favour or hinder the deployment and use of digital health technologies by patients and physicians in primary care.

Date of harvesting affects yields and quality of Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum (Link) Ietswaart.

Background: The aim of this experiment was to determine the essential oil, flavonoid and phenolic acid contents as well as yields of raw material collected from different morphological parts of Greek oregano in five consecutive developmental stages. Antibacterial and antifungal properties of methanol and hexane extracts from the aerial parts of Greek oregano were assessed as well.

Results: The findings showed that Greek oregano grown in the cool climate of central Europe had a considerable variation in the essential oil yield and chemical composition related to the harvesting stage.
