Service quality of healthcare organizations is more and more determined by the patients' satisfaction data. Therefore, the fairness of this comparison raises questions. The factors that could affect it are represented by the demographic characteristics of patients but also the institutional characteristics of the healthcare organization. In this study, we will analyze the demographic factors. 150 questionnaires were analyzed, completed by the patients of an obstetrics-gynecology clinic in order to complete an observer study. Observing the differences between the demographic aspects of the patients, we decided to analyze them using a few satisfaction scores that were built on the answers received on the basis of the questionnaire. Each satisfaction score was attributed to a category of satisfaction surveyed between patients, and its interpretation was based on the answers received and the number of questions. The analysis of the results has shown the existence of many correlations observed in the study, based on the built-up scores, the demographic data of the patients (background, age category, level of education, monthly income level, civil status, gynecological consultation objective, sex of the gynecologist) and the way the patients were informed and their general impression.

Objectives: Affecting one in five adults in Europe, hearing loss (HL) is linked to adverse health outcomes, including dementia. We aim to investigate educational inequalities in hearing health in Europe and how these inequalities change with age, gender, and region.

Methods: Utilizing 2004-2020 data from the Harmonised Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), a representative sample of Europeans aged 50 and above, we analyse: 1) age-standardized prevalence of HL and hearing aid (HA) use among eligible individuals; 2) educational inequalities therein using the Relative Index of Inequality (RII) across age, gender, and European regions.

Background: Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders that affect motor neurons, neuromuscular junctions, and muscle fibers, resulting in symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, and reduced mobility. These conditions significantly affect patients' quality of life and impose a substantial burden on caregivers. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a relatively common NMD in children that presents in various types with varying degrees of severity.

Background: In this study, we present an in-depth analysis of the Eurasian minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) genome, highlighting its genetic diversity, structural variations, and evolutionary adaptations. We generated an annotated haplotype-phased, chromosome-level genome assembly (2n = 50) by integrating high-fidelity (HiFi) long reads and chromosome conformation capture data (Hi-C).

Results: We achieved a haploid size of 940 megabase pairs (Mbp) for haplome 1 and 929 Mbp for haplome 2 with high scaffold N50 values of 36.
