Integrated Diagnosis in Africa's Low- and Middle-Income Countries: What Is It, What Works, and for Whom? A Realist Synthesis.

Introduction: Integrated diagnosis can improve health outcomes and patient experiences through early diagnosis and identification of cases that could otherwise be overlooked. Although existing research highlight the feasibility of integrated diagnosis across various conditions, a significant evidence gap remains regarding its direct impact on patient experiences and health outcomes. This review explores the conceptualizations of integrated diagnosis by different stakeholders along the healthcare pathway and examines the necessary contexts and mechanisms crucial for its effectiveness.

Using Community Science to Reveal the Global Chemogeography of River Metabolomes.

River corridor metabolomes reflect organic matter (OM) processing that drives aquatic biogeochemical cycles. Recent work highlights the power of ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry for understanding metabolome composition and river corridor metabolism. However, there have been no studies on the global chemogeography of surface water and sediment metabolomes using ultrahigh-resolution techniques.

Online supplementation for teaching evidence-based medicine: feasibility of a randomised-controlled trial.

Background And Objectives: As teaching technology advances, medical education is increasingly using digital mediums and exploring instructional models such as the flipped classroom and blended learning courses, where the in-class taught sessions are more groups on content delivered before class. Early evidence suggests lectures and foundational material can be equally provided online, but we have low-quality research to be convinced. We aim to test and develop an online evidence-based teaching resource that seeks to improve the availability and scalability of evidence-based medicine (EBM) learning tools.

Comparison of essential medicines lists in 137 countries.

Objective: To compare the medicines included in national essential medicines lists with the World Health Organization's (WHO's) , and assess the extent to which countries' characteristics, such as WHO region, size and health care expenditure, account for the differences.

Methods: We searched the WHO's Essential Medicines and Health Products Information Portal for national essential medicines lists. We compared each national list of essential medicines with both the 2017 WHO model list and other national lists.

Yoga in adult cancer: an exploratory, qualitative analysis of the patient experience.

Background: Some patients receiving treatment in conventional health care systems access therapeutic yoga outside their mainstream care to improve cancer symptoms. Given the current knowledge gap around patient preferences and documented experiences of yoga in adult cancer, this study aimed to describe patient-reported benefits, barriers and characteristics of programming for yoga practice during conventional treatment.

Methods: In depth semi-structured interviews (n=10) were conducted in men and women recruited from cancer care clinics in Vancouver, Canada using a purposive sampling technique.

Yoga for Health-Related Quality of Life in Adult Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Feasibility Study.

An increase in patient-led uptake of complementary therapies in adult cancer has led to a need for more rigorous study of such interventions and their outcomes. This study therefore aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a yoga intervention in men and women receiving conventional treatment for a cancer diagnosis. Prospective, mixed methods feasibility trial allocated participants to receive one of three yoga interventions over a four-week study period.

In search of yoga: Research trends in a western medical database.

Context: The promotion of yoga practice as a preventative and treatment therapy for health outcomes in the western hemisphere is increasing rapidly. As the commercial success of yoga burgeons in popular culture, it is important to investigate the trends of yoga as a therapeutic intervention in academic literature. The free-access search engine, PubMed is a preeminent resource to identify health-related research articles published for academics, health practitioners and others.

Overview of systematic reviews: yoga as a therapeutic intervention for adults with acute and chronic health conditions.

Objectives. Overview the quality, direction, and characteristics of yoga interventions for treatment of acute and chronic health conditions in adult populations. Methods.
