Objective: This study aimed to explore the needs and constraints to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) among patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease (CHD) in a community-based setting, and thereby facilitating the implementation of effective CR programs for this population.
Methods: Focus group interviews were used as the primary research methodology. A total of 11 community-dwelling individuals diagnosed with CHD were selected from a community hospital to participate in in-depth interviews, aiming to discern and analyze their requirements and constraints experienced concerning medical resources and healthcare agency.
Article Synopsis
- Ancient humans recognized the medicinal benefits of propolis, leading to modern science identifying its bioactive compounds, but a pure extract without adhesive components is necessary for maximizing these benefits.
- The study presents a new extract from Brazilian green propolis, called P30K, which shows significant anti-inflammatory effects both in lab tests (in vitro) and in living organisms (in vivo), with notable concentrations of flavonoids and phenolic acids.
- P30K works by influencing several metabolic pathways to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, and research indicates it targets specific enzymes that help in altering cellular metabolism, marking it as a promising treatment for inflammation.
Among different types, Chinese propolis (ChPs) and Brazilian green propolis (BrGPs) have been shown to contain multi-functional properties. Despite extensive research in the field, reports comparing propolis from different geographical areas are still limited, compromising our current understanding of the potential therapeutic effect associated with propolis and its derived compounds. Herein, a comparative study between ChPs and BrGPs including their metabolite profile and bioactivities was performed.
