Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted in Denmark to assess the awareness of the teratogenic risks associated with oral retinoids and the adherence to pregnancy prevention programs (PPP) among healthcare providers and patients.
- Surveys were distributed to dermatologists, general practitioners, pharmacists, and women of childbearing age using oral retinoids, revealing high awareness levels of teratogenicity (95-100%) across the groups.
- Despite this awareness, there was inconsistent adherence to PPP measures, indicating a need for improved accessibility and encouragement of certain safety practices, especially those requiring patient signatures.
Objective: We summarized the evidence evaluating the cost-effectiveness of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) versus onabotulinumtoxinA (BONT/A) in the treatment of refractory overactive bladder (OAB) among women.
Methods: We searched PubMed Medline (1946-2019), EMBASE (1947-2019), Web of Science (1900-2019), Clinical Trials.gov, reviewed references of included studies, and Cochrane subsets of CDSR, DARE, CENTRAL, and NHSEED.
Article Synopsis
- Esports has evolved into a global industry, but the health effects of long-term involvement in competitive gaming are not well understood.
- The study focused on physiological and cognitive changes during gameplay, comparing first-person shooter games and multiplayer online battle arena games.
- Key findings included increased blood pressure and speed, but decreased accuracy and cognitive control, with first-person shooters causing a greater increase in heart rate than multiplayer games, impacting player health and performance.
