Workshops or training sessions on medical writing and publishing exist worldwide. We aimed to evaluate published articles about such workshops and examine both the content and teaching strategies employed. We searched ISI Web of Science, Ovid EMBASE, ERIC, Ovid Medline, and the grey literature.

- The study aims to evaluate the pros and cons of various drug treatments for adults with type 2 diabetes, including new options like non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and tirzepatide.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on data from 816 trials involving over 471,000 patients, focusing on drug classes with a follow-up period of at least 24 weeks.
- Findings indicate that SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists significantly lower the risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular events, while finerenone shows potential in reducing hospitalization for heart failure, although certainty of evidence varies for other drugs.
Background: HIV disproportionately affects men who have sex with men (MSM). In Malaysia, where stigma and discrimination toward MSM are high, including in health care settings, mobile health (mHealth) platforms have the potential to open new frontiers in HIV prevention.
Objective: We developed an innovative, clinic-integrated smartphone app called JomPrEP, which provides a virtual platform for Malaysian MSM to engage in HIV prevention services.
The recent approval of long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA) as PrEP for HIV prevention could be an attractive alternative for MSM, particularly among those who face barriers to adherence using the oral pill. This study reports on the awareness of long-acting injectable PrEP (LAI-PrEP) and factors associated with interest in LAI-PrEP use among a nationwide sample of MSM in Malaysia. An online cross-sectional survey was conducted between August and September 2021 to explore perspectives on PrEP modalities among Malaysian MSM (N = 870).
