Impact of Genetic Risk Information for Cardiovascular Disease on Behavioural, Psychological Responses, and Risk Factor Modification: A Systematic Review.

Aims: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a significant public health concern, influenced by both genetic susceptibility and lifestyle factors. Integrating genetic risk information into clinical practice shows promise but has yielded mixed results regarding its impact on CVD prevention and management. This systematic review aimed to assess the impact of providing genetic CVD risk information on health behaviours, psychological outcomes, and risk factors.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in terrestrial extreme environments: implications for life detection beyond Earth.

Covering: 1961 to 2024Discovering and identifying unique natural products/biosignatures (signatures that can be used as evidence for past or present life) that are abundant, and complex enough that they indicate robust evidence of life is a multifaceted process. One distinct category of biosignatures being explored is organic compounds. A subdivision of these compounds not yet readily investigated are volatile organic compound (VOCs).

Effectiveness of receiving cardiovascular disease genetic risk information on health behaviors, psychological responses, and associated risk factor modification in individuals: a systematic review protocol.

Objective: This review aims to assess the effectiveness of receiving cardiovascular disease (CVD) genetic risk information on individual health behaviors, psychological responses, and risk factor modification.

Introduction: Advancements in genomics have identified strong genetic predispositions for CVD, leading to the development of CVD genetic risk information. Integrating genetic risk information into clinical practice shows promise in predicting CVD risk and facilitating multifactorial management.

Effectiveness of interventions for the prevention or management of workplace violence in student nurses during clinical placement: A systematic review.

Aim: To systematically investigate the effectiveness of interventions for managing workplace violence experienced by registered nursing students during clinical placement.

Design: A systematic review of experimental studies.

Methods: The review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Measurement properties of utility-based health-related quality of life measures in cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention programs: a systematic review.

Purpose: To identify utility-based patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention programs (CR) and appraise existing evidence on their measurement properties. Secondly, to link their items to the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Consortium of Health Outcome Measures (ICHOM) domains for cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Methods: Eight databases were searched.
