Purpose: To explore participants' experiences with the Physio-Feedback Exercise Program (PEER) and potential barriers to access and adoption of the program.
Method: The current qualitative descriptive study was conducted among 32 older adults aged ≥60 years in Central Florida who participated in the PEER. A semi-structured interview guide was used to obtain participants' experiences with the program. They were individually interviewed and audio recorded. Responses were transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results: Four major themes emerged: , , , and .
Conclusion: Participants were satisfied with the intervention and made healthier lifestyle changes to improve their health. They adopted the program and intended to continue practicing what they learned beyond the program. Future studies should address barriers to adopting and sustaining the PEER. [(x), xx-xx.].

Exploring considerations for becoming a GP practice owner: a qualitative study.
BJGP Open
March 2025
University Medical Centre Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands.
Background: General practice owners are responsible for access to care 24 hours a day, but they can struggle to find associates or successors. Fewer practice owners means that the core value, continuity of care (COC), is at risk. However, little is known about the career considerations of young GPs and barriers and facilitators to become practice owners.

BMJ Open
March 2025
Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition, Deakin University, Geelong, Victoria, Australia.
Objectives: Telehealth may offer a cost-effective, accessible and convenient healthcare service model; however, the acceptability, safety and perceptions of telehealth delivered lifestyle interventions in those with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is unknown.
Design: This was a mixed-methods evaluation of a telehealth delivered 12-week exercise, dietary support and behavioural change programme (Tele-ProEx).
Setting And Participants: 12 adults receiving the intervention (47-77 years) with NAFLD living in Australia.
Understanding stigma as a barrier to cancer prevention and treatment: a qualitative study among people living with HIV in Uganda and Zambia.
BMJ Open
March 2025
University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, California, USA
Objectives: Extended life expectancy due to treatment improvements has increased the diagnosis of cancer among people living with HIV (PLWH) in Africa. Despite documented impacts of stigma on cancer preventive behaviours and care, little is known about the intersections of cancer and HIV stigma and the effects on prevention and care behaviours for both conditions. This study aims to examine experiences and drivers of cancer stigma and their associations with access to and utilisation of cancer prevention services among PLWH.

Department of Orthopaedics Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences, University of Oxford Nuffield, Oxford, UK
Introduction: Gender-affirming care (GAC) includes interventions aimed at supporting an individual's gender identity. Canada is experiencing an increase in referrals for GAC, higher than any other health service; therefore, there is a need for a systematic approach to health outcome measurement to effectively evaluate care. This review aims to analyse health outcome measurement in Canadian GAC, focusing on what is measured, how it is measured and associated barriers and enablers.

Int J Pharm
March 2025
Bioinformatics Center of AMMS, Beijing, People's Republic of China. Electronic address:
Traditional mRNA vaccine formulation loaded by lipid nanoparticle (mRNA-LNP) has several shortcomings in clinical application, including the need for cryopreservation, discomfort associated with intramuscular injections, and the risk of liver aggregation. Dissolvable microneedles (DMNs), as a novel transdermal drug delivery platform, can overcome the skin barrier to deliver drugs directly into the skin in a minimally invasive manner. However, mRNA-LNP is unstable and easily degraded during the solidification of DMN.
