This study aimed to explore physicians' and pharmacists' knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) regarding the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular toxicity associated with cancer treatment. A multicenter cross-sectional study included physicians and pharmacists between April 2023 and June 2023. The study included 918 participants (514 physicians and 404 pharmacists). The average scores of knowledge, attitudes, and practice were 11.6 ± 3.39, 24.7 ± 2.6, and 26.3 ± 6.8 points. Sufficient knowledge was significantly associated with age ≥ 41 years (odds ratio (OR) = 2.745, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.086-6.941, P = 0.033), male (OR = 2.745, 95% CI 1.150-2.223, P = 0.005), bachelor's degree (OR = 0.084, 95% CI 0.013-0.533, P = 0.009), master's degree and above (OR = 0.096, 95% CI 0.015-0.609, P = 0.013), physician occupation (OR = 7.601, 95% CI 1.337-43.207, P = 0.022), pharmacy department (OR = 18.858, 95% CI 3.245-109.57, P = 0.001), oncology department (OR = 4.304, 95% CI 2.426-7.634, P < 0.001), cardiology department (OR = 3.001, 95% CI 1.387-6.492, P = 0.005), hospitals located in Eastern China (OR = 1.957, 95% CI 1.120-3.418, P = 0.018), and hospitals located in Western China (OR = 3.137, 95% CI 1.783-5.518, P < 0.001). Positive attitudes were significantly associated with a senior professional title (OR = 2.989, 95% CI 1.124-7.954, P = 0.028) and hospitals located in Eastern China (OR = 0.424, 95% CI 0.257-0.698, P = 0.001), Western China (OR = 0.231, 95% CI 0.136-0.394, P < 0.001), and Southern China (OR = 0.341, 95% CI 0.198-0.587, P < 0.001). Proactive practice was significantly associated with male (OR = 1.414, 95% CI 1.029-1.943, P = 0.033), senior professional title (OR = 3.838, 95% CI 1.176-12.524, P = 0.026), oncology department (OR = 3.827, 95% CI 2.336-6.272, P < 0.001), and cardiology department (OR = 2.428, 95% CI 1.263-4.669, P = 0.008). Both physicians and pharmacists had positive attitudes toward the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular toxicity associated with cancer treatment, while their knowledge and practice were not as proactive.

Effect of a Narrative-Based Online Course Aimed at Reducing Stigma Toward Transgender Children and Adolescents: Longitudinal Observational Study.
JMIR Form Res
January 2025
Heidelberg Institute of Global Health, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany.
Background: Stigma toward transgender children and adolescents negatively impacts their health and educational outcomes. Contact with members of stigmatized groups can dismantle stereotypes and reduce stigma by facilitating exposure to the unique cognitive and emotional perspectives of individuals within the group. Recent evidence suggests that video-based contact interventions can be as effective as face-to-face encounters, but challenges lie in protecting the identities of transgender youth, since many of them live in stealth.

However, the use of blood-based biomarkers (BBBMs) for the early detection of AD may be limited in primary care settings despite its potential for wide access and early detection of AD (PMID: 37295421) Therefore, there is a need to understand the barriers and facilitators of BBBM testing for AD in primary care.
Method: We employed a combination of qualitative research, advisory board, and quantitative survey to engage with clinical/scientific advisors and community-based physicians in primary care.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
National Ageing Research Institute, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Background: Prior to formulating an effective national dementia plan in Vietnam, reliable information on current situation of dementia care, treatment and support in Vietnam was needed. This study was conducted to describe Vietnam's response to dementia at three levels: individual (consumers and providers); health and social care organisations; and national healthcare system to guide the plan development.
Method: Guided by the "Towards a dementia plan: a WHO guide", a comprehensive situational analysis was conducted, focusing on Policy, Service Delivery and Epidemiological assessments.
