Purpose Of Review: This review aims to show the current evidence and the challenges that remain to guide future research on the prevalence, incidence, prognosis, and factors associated with burnout, and current interventions for its prevention and reduction.
Recent Findings: An overview of systematic reviews with meta-analyses found that burnout is highly prevalent among oncologists and oncology nurses, mainly emotional exhaustion. However, these meta-analyses showed a lack of original research from continents such as Africa or Oceania, and no studies were meta-analyzed evaluating physical therapists or psycho-oncologists. To our knowledge, the incidence of occupational burnout has not been meta-analyzed on this topic, and the number of prospective cohort studies and randomized clinical trials is probably limited. On the other hand, some cross-sectional studies and nonrandomized clinical trials have been recently published. These studies have highlighted the association between burnout with psychological (e.g. anxiety) and occupational factors (e.g. job demands) and the reduction of burnout using different psychological interventions.
Summary: Occupational burnout is a topic of interest in oncology. However, important gaps in knowledge remain and need to be filled before establishing firm conclusions on this topic.

Background: Flexible optical intubation (FOI) is the preferred technique for managing anticipated difficult airways, particularly in awake patients when anatomical factors complicate conventional laryngoscopy. Mastering the procedure requires skills, but a comprehensive overview of the evidence on training and assessment of FOI skills is lacking. There is no evidence-based consensus on educational strategies and recommendations for skill acquisition and retention, thus highlighting a significant gap in airway management training.

The use of non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) has gained prominence as an alternative to reduce free sugar consumption, aligning with global efforts to combat the growing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). By providing sweetness without caloric energy, NSS are viewed as potential tools in addressing diet-related health challenges. However, their long-term effects on health remain contentious, especially within the medical community.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, nonspecific inflammatory disorder characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, hematochezia, and urgency during defecation. While the primary site of involvement is the colon, UC can extend to encompass the entire rectum and colon. The causes and development mechanisms of UC are still not well understood; nonetheless, it is currently held that factors including environmental influences, genetic predispositions, intestinal mucosal integrity, gut microbiota composition, and immune dysregulation contribute to its development.
