The present study is a replication in Germany of a study originally performed in the Netherlands regarding the association between a positive living group climate and self-reported empathy in incarcerated adolescent male offenders ( = 49). A structural equation model was fitted to the data and showed a relation between a positive living group climate and increased empathy after six months. The discussion focuses on group dynamics in youth prisons. The present results open the way to further research into the importance of group processes in residential youth care. A positive living group climate could turn out to be an important factor contributing to the effectiveness of secure institutional treatment.

Background: Bullying has been identified as a risk factor for many issues among adolescents. Although it was already considered a public health issue in Brazil before the COVID-19 pandemic, little is known about how the pandemic and associated public health measures have affected bullying behavior.
Objective: To explore changes in bullying victimization and perpetration among Brazilian high school students from 2019 to 2022.
Socioeconomic and behavioural factors that contribute to the co-occurrence of risk factors for noncommunicable diseases.
BMC Public Health
January 2025
University of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia.
It is observed that the global burden of diseases had shifted from infectious diseases to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), with an accumulative trend in developing countries. NCDs share key modifiable behavioral risk factors like unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity that are typically established during adolescence or young adulthood and will set the stage for NCDs development later in life. Therefore, this paper aimed to explore factors contributing to the co-occurrence of risk factors for NCDs among persons aged 30 years and above in selected urban areas of Namibia.

Department of Geography, Binghamton University, New York, USA.
Background: The global burden of HIV and AIDS continues to significantly impact public health, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study investigates the spatial distribution and associated risk factors of HIV prevalence in Botswana using data from the 2021 Botswana AIDS Impact Survey (BAIS V).
Methods: The analysis included 12,653 adults aged 15-64 years and employed chi-square tests, multilevel mixed-effects regression, and spatial analysis techniques.
A conceptual model for advanced/metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer: a review of qualitative studies and results from patient interviews.
BMC Cancer
January 2025
Patient Centered Solutions, IQVIA, Reading, UK.
Background: Despite approvals of new first-line immunotherapies for advanced/metastatic gastric cancer/gastroesophageal junction cancer (aGC/GEJC), patients' median survival is around 14 months and their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is affected by disease-related symptoms and treatment-related side effects. Using a targeted literature review (TLR) and patient interviews, this study identified disease- and treatment-related concepts that are important to patients with aGC/GEJC and their HRQoL.
Methods: A TLR was conducted to identify primary qualitative studies from 2018 to 2021 on patients' experiences with aGC/GEJC.
Association between edaravone use and activities of daily living in older patients with atherothrombotic stroke: an observational study using Japanese real-world data.

Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Musashino University, 1-1-20 Shinmachi Nishitokyo-Shi, Tokyo, 202-8585, Japan.
Background: Edaravone is marketed in nine countries, although only Japan has approved edaravone for improvement of neurological symptom, disability of activities of daily living (ADL), and functional disability associated with acute stroke. This study aimed to elucidate the association of edaravone use with ADL using real-world data of older patients with atherothrombotic stroke.
Methods: This retrospective observational research using the Medical Data Vision database in Japan included patients aged 65 years and older who had acute ischemic stroke of the atherothrombotic subtype.
