Psychosocial burden and sociodemographic characteristics of cancer survivors seeking support for work-related issues in outpatient cancer counseling centers.
Soc Work Health Care
January 2025
German Cancer Society, Berlin, Germany.
Introduction: Outpatient cancer counseling centers (OCCs) are important social work facilities that provide support for cancer survivors who have psychosocial and sociolegal challenges. This paper explores clinical and sociodemographic characteristics, psychosocial burden as well as access routes of clients in OCCs seeking work-related counseling.
Methods: Between May 2022 and December 2023, data were collected in 19 OCCs, using questionnaires and documentation by counselors.
Respiratory syncytial virus vaccination in older adults and patients with chronic disorders: A position paper from the Portuguese Society of Pulmonology, the Portuguese Association of General and Family Medicine, the Portuguese Society of Cardiology, the Portuguese Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, the Portuguese Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, and the Portuguese Society of Internal Medicine.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an important cause of lower respiratory tract infection, hospitalisation and death in adults.
Methods: Based on evidence regarding the impact of RSV on adult populations at risk for severe infection and the efficacy and safety of RSV vaccines, the Portuguese Society of Pulmonology, the Portuguese Association of General and Family Medicine, the Portuguese Society of Cardiology, the Portuguese Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, the Portuguese Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, and the Portuguese Society of Internal Medicine endorses this position paper with recommendations to prevent RSV-associated disease and its complications in adults through vaccination.
Conclusion: The RSV vaccine is recommended for people aged ≥50 years with risk factors (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, heart failure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, immunocompromise, frailty, dementia, and residence in a nursing home) and all persons aged ≥60 years.
Spirituality-Based Intervention in Hypertension: EFfects on Blood PrEssure and EndotheliaL Function-FEEL Trial Results.
Glob Heart
January 2025
Spirituality and Cardiovascular Medicine Department, Brazilian Cardiology Society -DEMCA/SBC, Brasil.
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that spirituality improves patient outcomes, however, this has undergone only limited evaluation in randomized trials. Hypertension is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Objectives: To evaluate whether a spirituality-based intervention, compared to a control group, can reduce blood pressure (BP) and improve endothelial function after 12 weeks in patients with mild or moderate hypertension (HTN).
Outcomes of Combined Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Transcatheter Mitral Edge-to-Edge Repair: The WATCH-TEER Study.
JACC Adv
February 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background: Up to 50% of patients undergoing mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (MTEER) have an indication for left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). However, prospective evaluation of this strategy is lacking.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to prospectively evaluate the outcomes of combined LAAO and MTEER.
The added value of ECG abnormalities in predicting incident cardiovascular disease risk for people with type 2 diabetes: The Hoorn Diabetes Care System cohort.

Amsterdam UMC location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Department of General Practice Medicine, De Boelelaan 1117, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Aims: To investigate if adding ECG abnormalities as a predictor improves the performance of incident CVD-risk prediction models for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: We evaluated the four major prediction models that are recommended by the guidelines of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology, in 11,224 people with T2D without CVD (coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, thrombosis) from the Hoorn Diabetes Care System cohort (1998-2018). Baseline measurements included CVD-risk factors and ECG recordings coded according to the Minnesota Classification as no, minor or major abnormalities.
