General Practitioners' Mental Well-Being During Crises: Results of the PRICOV-19 Study Pilot in Serbia.

Background/aims: This study was conducted with the aim of assessing the mental well-being of general practitioners (GPs) amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Serbia. These findings are intended to provide valuable insights to primary care stakeholders about the potential need for support interventions.

Materials And Methods: In the context of the international cross-sectional survey on primary health care during the COVID-19 pandemic (PRICOV-19), our initial focus was on evaluating the appropriateness of employing the Mayo Clinic Well-Being Index (MWBI) for Serbian GPs.

Help-seeking behavior, treatment barriers and facilitators, attitudes and access to first-line treatment in German adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Background: Individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) face both personal and system-based barriers in receiving first-line treatment, i.e. cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention (ERP).

Bleeding symptoms in persons with rare bleeding disorders and a heterozygous genotype: data from the RBiN study.

Background: Limited data exists on persons with rare bleeding disorders (RBDs) possessing a heterozygous genotype, as most studies focus on bi-allelic genotypes and more severe coagulation factor deficiencies. A growing body of evidence suggests that persons with a heterozygous genotype experience clinically relevant bleeding symptoms.

Objectives: Explore the incidence of bleeding symptoms and postoperative bleeding in persons with a heterozygous genotype.

A video clip detailing the patient journey on the day of oocyte retrieval in addition to the standard of care: a randomized controlled trial.

Study Question: Can a video clip detailing the patient journey decrease women's anxiety on the day of their first oocyte retrieval?

Summary Answer: The video clip does not affect women's anxiety on the day of their first oocyte retrieval.

What Is Known Already: IVF triggers anxious reactions in women and men, with peaks of anxiety on the day of (especially the first) oocyte retrieval as shown by reliable questionnaires and biomarkers of distress. Several trials showed that videos with preparatory information reduce women's and men's anxiety for out-patient procedures.

Safety of immediate catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias in patients admitted via the emergency department.

Background: In patients with ventricular arrhythmias (VA) admitted via the emergency department (ED), immediate catheter ablation (CA-VA) might be indicated to stabilize patients. However, the unstable condition of these patients may increase periprocedural risk. This study evaluated the periprocedural safety of immediate CA-VA in patients admitted via the ED.
