Stakeholder perspectives on barriers and facilitators to hypertension control in urban Haiti: a qualitative study to inform a community-based hypertension management intervention.
BMC Public Health
January 2025
Center for Global Health, Weill Cornell Medicine, 402 East 67 Street, 2 Floor, New York, NY, 10065, USA.
Background: Uncontrolled hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease mortality and remains high in low-middle income countries like Haiti. Barriers and facilitators to achieving hypertension control in urban Haiti remain poorly understood. Elucidating these factors could lead to development of successful interventions.

Treating disruptive disorder with emotional dysregulation (DDED) is a challenge in terms of difficulties, objectives and results. In addition to a multi-disciplinary approach involving child psychiatrists, nurses, psychomotricists and educators, the use of animal mediation (dogs) appears relevant. Eight standardized group sessions with eight children aged 6 to 10, assessed by means of a semi-directive interview and several psychometric tools (MDI-C, Kidscreen, parent attachment inventory, child/family star, family/child star, alexithymia questionnaire) revealed improvements in listening skills, empathy, adaptability, socialization, anger and depression management, temper tantrum frequency, school complaints and depressive symptoms.

Purpose: This study by the EANM radiobiology working group aims to analyze the efficacy and toxicity of targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) using radiopharmaceuticals approved by the EMA and FDA for neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer. It seeks to understand the correlation between physical parameters such as absorbed dose and TRT outcomes, alongside other biological factors.
Methods: We reviewed clinical studies on TRT, focusing on the relationship between physical parameters and treatment outcomes, and applying basic radiobiological principles to radiopharmaceutical therapy to identify key factors affecting therapeutic success.

Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec - Université Laval, Québec, Québec, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- - The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a significant risk factor for serious health issues like cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, and its rising prevalence due to lifestyle changes stresses the need for urgent action.
- - Understanding MetS requires examining various factors such as genetic predisposition, insulin resistance, and inflammation, with common diagnostic tools focusing on abdominal obesity and related health indicators.
- - Management of MetS emphasizes lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, alongside exploring new treatments, while the Primer advocates for a comprehensive approach involving clinicians, researchers, and policymakers to effectively address this public health challenge.

Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- - Lewy body disease (LBD), also known as Lewy body dementia, is a common but often misdiagnosed neurodegenerative disease due to its similarities with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
- - Improving the identification of LBD is crucial for enhancing care and support for both individuals with the condition and their caregivers.
- - Addressing the diagnostic challenges of LBD is a key health goal, as better recognition can lead to more effective treatment and management.
