Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated semen quality variations among men seeking fertility evaluation across 12 regions in Spain, analyzing samples from 2,336 participants.
  • Significant differences in semen volume, sperm concentration, motility, and total motile sperm count were found, particularly highlighting Asturias as having the highest values compared to other locations.
  • The findings suggest that the observed variations in semen quality are consistent across the regions and unlikely due to inconsistencies in laboratory testing methods.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores the clinical pathway for psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD) to enhance patient care by identifying needs and experiences at a tertiary hospital.
  • - A mixed-method approach, including literature review, questionnaires for healthcare professionals, and focus groups with HCPs and patients, revealed significant pre-diagnosis delays and challenges in accessing timely treatment.
  • - The findings suggest interventions to reduce wait times and improve treatment effectiveness, emphasizing the need for better coordination and resources in patient management for psoriasis and AD.

Objective: To evaluate, in patients with chronic migraine (CM) in real-world conditions, the persistence, effectiveness, and tolerability of erenumab, fremanezumab, and galcanezumab anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (anti-CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and the persistence and effects of switching.

Background: Anti-CGRP mAbs represent a novel therapeutic approach to the management of CM; however, real-world data on persistence, effectiveness, and tolerability, especially after switching, are scarce.

Methods: This was a retrospective observational cohort study including all patients with CM treated with erenumab, fremanezumab, and/or galcanezumab in a tertiary hospital between January 2019 and December 2022.

Introduction: Integrated care pathways (ICPs) are crucial for delivering individualised care. However, the development of ICPs is challenging and must be well designed to provide the expected benefits. Regarding this, healthcare organisations are increasingly adopting management systems based on Lean Thinking to improve their organisational processes by eliminating non-value-added steps.

Objectives: People living with HIV (PLWH) are common users of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The main objective of this study was to study the frequency and patterns of CAM natural products use in a large cohort of PLWH and to identify potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and the impact on their antiretroviral treatment (ART) adherence and efficacy.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional multicenter survey including 420 PLWH from different Spanish hospitals.
