In specific situations such as patient with severely dilated left ventricle (LV) and spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) who suffered an ischemic stroke previously may be an acceptable indication for oral anticoagulation to prevent further TE events.

Remote sighted assistance (RSA) has emerged as a conversational assistive technology for people with visual impairments (VI), where remote sighted agents provide realtime navigational assistance to users with visual impairments via video-chat-like communication. In this paper, we conducted a literature review and interviewed 12 RSA users to comprehensively understand technical and navigational challenges in RSA for both the agents and users. Technical challenges are organized into four categories: agents' difficulties in orienting and localizing the users; acquiring the users' surroundings and detecting obstacles; delivering information and understanding user-specific situations; and coping with a poor network connection.

Background: Providing quality palliative care during a pandemic was challenging. Both specialist and community healthcare services cared for patients that faced life-threatening illness and who were influenced by the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Little knowledge has yet been provided on how registered nurses (RNs) experienced the palliative care quality during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We identified the psychosocial well-being of informal caregivers to patients before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Background: Whether to stop oral anticoagulants after a first unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) is challenging, partially due to an intriguingly higher risk of VTE recurrence (rVTE) in men after therapy discontinuation. DNA methylation (DNAm) differences between men and women might underly this sex-biased rVTE risk difference.
Aim: To investigate sex-specific associations between DNAm at cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites and rVTE.

Objective: To analyse the specific training in Family and Community Medicine (FCM) that is taught in the medical degrees in Spain.
Method: Descriptive and cross-sectional study based on the content analysis of the study programs and teaching guides based on the official information that universities offer on their study programs and teaching guides for the 2023-2024 academic year. The specific FCM subjects, the number of credits, their theoretical-practical nature and the clinical rotations were identified.
