The aim of this study was to explore experiences of authorship issues among persons who have recently received their doctoral degree in medicine in Sweden. A survey was mailed to all who received their PhD at a medical faculty at a Swedish university the first half of 2016. Questions concerned experiences of violations of the first three authorship criteria in the Vancouver rules and of misuse of authorship order in the articles of their thesis, and the respondents' attitudes to these matters. The questionnaire was returned by 285 respondents (68%). According to the majority (53%), the Vancouver rules were not fully respected in the articles of their thesis. A vast majority (97%) found it important that authorship issues are handled correctly, but only 19% responded that their department has a clear and consistently applied policy. We conclude that authorship guidelines are frequently disrespected at medical faculties in Sweden. The universities seem to provide limited support on authorship issues.

The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East have led to a substantial influx of Syrian refugees, exposing them to severe traumatic experiences and contributing to a range of mental health issues. This systematic review examines psychotherapeutic interventions employed in psychological treatment studies with Syrian refugees, focusing on 22 articles identified across Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. The review highlights the need for psychotherapeutic intervention for Syrian refugees due to the high prevalence of post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, grief, and loss which results from an increased risk of various forms of violence and exploitation.
Background: Aliaxin fillers (HA), produced by IBSA Farmaceutici Italia SrL (Italy), are biodegradable, non-pyrogenic, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels. The formulations are tailored for different clinical indications, ensuring precise and natural outcomes. Their cohesivity and tissue integration capabilities are associated with relatively few adverse events (AEs), supporting their widespread use in aesthetic treatments.
Community mental health care is a practice setting conducive to the emergence of special situations since the intervention takes place in the client's living environment, a context fraught with multiple and often unpredictable events and triggers. In addition, the healthcare workers are often alone in making decisions. This can lead to a persistent feeling of discomfort when the situation can be seen from several different angles and the healthcare workers find it difficult to make the right decision or are uncomfortable with the consequences of a decision they must make.
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive disease that requires continuous treatment. Despite the excellent results, treatment with biologics and target-specific disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs often has to be interrupted due to insufficient therapeutic effectiveness, toxicity, or side effects.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the reasons and factors influencing treatment discontinuation with biologic and target-specific drugs among the Bulgarian patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
