Sanction screening is a crucial banking compliance process that protects financial institutions from inadvertently engaging with internationally sanctioned individuals or organizations. Given the severe consequences, including financial crime risks and potential loss of banking licenses, effective execution is essential. One of the major challenges in this process is balancing the high rate of false positives, which exceed 90% and lead to inefficiencies due to increased human oversight, with the more critical issue of false negatives, which pose severe regulatory and financial risks by allowing sanctioned entities to go undetected.

Objectives: Bisphosphonate is associated with a decreased risk of vertebral fractures due to osteoporosis. However, there are limited studies on how poor compliance with bisphosphonate affects the risk of vertebral fractures in a nationwide cohort. We aim to evaluate whether adherence to bisphosphonate affects the risk of fracture in osteoporosis patients.

Objectives: Rotator cuff tear is the leading cause of the decline in quality of life for older adults, but comparative evidence on treatment effectiveness is lacking. This study systematically reviewed the effects of various rotator cuff tear treatments through a Bayesian meta-analysis of the related randomized clinical trials (RCTs).Methods: We searched nine electronic databases for RCTs evaluating rotator cuff tear treatments from their inception through June 2017.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study compared the outcomes of conservative treatment versus arthroscopic repair in patients over 50 years old with symptomatic rotator cuff tears, using techniques like ultrasonography and MRI for evaluation.
  • - A total of 357 patients participated, showing significant improvements in pain and range of motion (ROM) for both treatments, but no notable differences between the two methods.
  • - In 1-year follow-up, 9.6% of patients who had surgery experienced a retear, while 6.7% of those receiving conservative treatment demonstrated tear progression, suggesting that conservative treatment can be equally effective as surgery for this patient group.

Objective: This study examined associations between changes in lifestyle risks and disability in late life.

Methods: A national sample of Koreans aged ≥ 65 years was surveyed at baseline (2006) and 2-year follow-up (n=3511). Disability transition was categorized as disability-free, improved, maintained, and declined, based on activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental ADL (IADL) scales.

Aim: Despite the predictive value of combined healthy lifestyles in maintaining physical and cognitive functioning in late life, little is known about the clustering patterns of healthy lifestyle behaviors in older people. The aim of the present study was to examine the prevalence, clustering and population characteristics of adherence to multiple health behaviors in community-dwelling older Korean adults.

Methods: The study population consisted of a nationally representative sample of 4165 Korean adults aged 65 years and older in 2006.
