Questionnairing was performed in selected fields. Data were collected including the number of people who were getting/taking medicines, reasons for not getting/taking medicines, and a comparison was made on the rates of getting/taking drugs among three patterns of medicine supply. In the mode of drug-receiving at public expense, the rates of getting drugs and taking drugs were 98.4% and 94.1% respectively in Hainan province, 93.2% and 90.9% in Guizhou province. In the mode of drug-delivery at public expense, the rates of getting drugs and taking drugs were 97.5% and 96.4% in Hainan province, 98.8% and 96.5% in Hunan province. In the mode of drug-purchase at people' s own expense, the rates of getting drugs and taking drugs were 96.8% and 95.6% in Guizhou province, 94.4% and 91.5% in Sichuan province. The reasons for not taking drugs included forgetting, drug-losing or unwell condition. Three patterns of drug supply can get satisfactory results through careful arrangement. The government can choose an appropriate pattern suited to local conditions.

Background: In USA, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) ranks amongst the top five surgeries that require hospitalization. As a result, the healthcare system in USA could face a considerable financial strain due to the emergence of subsequent pulmonary problems. This study aimed to conduct a thorough examination of the prevalence, influential factors and medical importance of pulmonary complications, with emphasis on pneumonia, respiratory failure and pulmonary embolism (PE) following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) procedures in USA.

Trends in the epidemiology of intravascular device-associated bacteremia among French hematology patients: insights from the SPIADI prospective multicenter study, 2020-2024.

Hematology patients require central venous catheters for cancer treatment and nutrition, which increases their risk of intravascular device-associated bacteremia. In the absence of recent data, we investigated intravascular device-associated bacteremia in this specific context. A three-month surveillance was conducted annually in 27 hematology wards, using a protocol derived from the HAI-Net ICU ECDC protocol (2020-2024).

Background: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating ADHD medications often use strict eligibility criteria, potentially limiting generalisability to patients in real-world clinical settings. We aimed to identify the proportion of individuals with ADHD who would be ineligible for medication RCTs and evaluate differences in treatment patterns and clinical and functional outcomes between RCT-eligible and RCT-ineligible individuals.

Methods: We used multiple Swedish national registries to identify individuals with ADHD, aged at least 4 years at the age of diagnosis, initiating pharmacological treatment between Jan 1, 2007, and Dec 31, 2019, with follow-up up to Dec 31, 2020.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

King's College London, Strand, London, United Kingdom.

Background: The prevalence of dementia in low- and middle-income countries is increasing, yet epidemiological data from African populations remains scarce. Crucial risk factors differ in Africa from more intensively studied global areas, including a high burden of cerebrovascular disease (evidenced by high stroke incidence) and HIV, but lower rates of other risk factors such as physical inactivity. In the pre-antiretroviral therapy era, dementia was a common consequence of HIV infection.

Background: Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the leading cause of skin cancer mortality with associated high healthcare costs. Up-to-date reporting of epidemiological trends for CM is required to project future trends, assess the burden of disease and aid evaluation of new diagnostic, therapeutic and preventative strategies.

Objectives: To describe the trends in CM mortality, incidence, mortality-to-incidence indices (MIIs) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) over the last three decades.
