As part of a study in Danish internship pharmacies, 70 fourth-year pharmacy interns interviewed 123 angina pectoris patients. Information was collected about the patients' medication- and illness-related factual knowledge and perceptions as well as their medication use. The results obtained showed that patients' perceptions and factual knowledge about medications and illness varied greatly, and that they administered their medication in a variety of ways. Patients' factual knowledge on illness, illness prevention and the function of medication was generally low. The patients were grouped in different categories according to their perceptions of illness and medication. A quarter had actively and reflectively self-regulated their medication and the rest of the patients did not do any deliberate self-regulation in terms of their medication. Half of the patients occasionally forgot to take their medication. Health care personnel should incorporate the results of this study in their efforts to improve patient counselling on illness, medication and other health-related matters.

Lifestyle factors (LSFs) are increasingly recognized as instrumental in both the development and control of diseases. Despite their importance, there is a lack of methods to extract relations between LSFs and diseases from the literature, a step necessary to consolidate the currently available knowledge into a structured form. As simple co-occurrence-based relation extraction (RE) approaches are unable to distinguish between the different types of LSF-disease relations, context-aware models such as transformers are required to extract and classify these relations into specific relation types.

To the best of our knowledge, bibliometric analysis has not been performed for studies related to diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and hemodialysis using healthcare big data. Herein, the aim of this bibliometric analysis was to identify emerging research trends in DKD and hemodialysis within healthcare insurance databases by exploring authors, co-author networks, and countries to discover new potential research areas. A bibliometric study was conducted, utilizing data obtained from the Scopus database.
