OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to perform a systemic evaluation of the risk of bias in randomised controlled trial (RCT) reports published on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). DESIGN: We assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane tool, as indicators of poor methodology or subsequently poor reporting. We systematically selected, with dual independent judgements, all studies published on IBD with no time limits and assessed the methodological quality of included studies again using independent dual ratings...

BACKGROUND: Various studies have demonstrated gender disparities in workplace settings and the need for further intervention. This study identifies and examines evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on interventions examining gender equity in workplace or volunteer settings. An additional aim was to determine whether interventions considered intersection of gender and other variables, including PROGRESS-Plus equity variables (e.g., race/ethnicity). METHODS: Scoping review conducted using the JBI guide...

The shortage of specialists in SHI-accredited medical care is increasingly affecting medical assistants (MFA) in medical practices and Medical Care Center (MVZ). Training can mitigate the associated problems in the future, but currently only 42% of practices provide training. A survey of a sample of large ophthalmic centers was conducted to test the hypothesis that larger practices and MVZs provide disproportionate training. In addition, an interaction between ownership (physician-owned (äE); third-party owned (F)) and training engagement was evaluated...

BACKGROUND: The sphincter of Oddi comprises a muscular complex encircling the distal part of the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct regulating the outflow from these ducts. Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction refers to the abnormal opening and closing of the muscular valve, which impairs the circulation of bile and pancreatic juices. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the benefits and harms of any type of endoscopic sphincterotomy compared with a placebo drug, sham operation, or any pharmaceutical treatment, administered orally or endoscopically, alone or in combination, or a different type of endoscopic sphincterotomy in adults with biliary sphincter of Oddi dysfunction...

INTRODUCTION: The global alcohol industry sponsors social/music events targeting young people; however, existing literature focuses on Westernised contexts. Given the decline in young people's drinking in many Western countries, it appears that multinational alcohol companies are importing the strategies they have used in high-income countries to the Global South countries like Nigeria to recoup profits. This study aims to examine the Guinness Show- a free one-month annual music festival, alcohol marketing at the festival and the extent to which the event encourages diverse drinking practices among its attendees...

The Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program (RNCP) at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH) was established to facilitate the development of medical countermeasures (MCMs) and diagnostic approaches for use in a radiation public health emergency. Approvals for MCMs can be very challenging but are made possible under the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Animal Rule, which is designed to enable licensure of drugs or biologics when clinical efficacy studies are unethical or unfeasible...

BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Neurointervention is a very competitive specialty in the United States due to the limited number of training spots and the larger pool of applicants. The training standards are continuously updated to ensure solid training experiences. Factors affecting candidate(s) selection have not been fully established yet. Our study aims to investigate the factors influencing the selection process. METHODS: A 52-question survey was distributed to 93 program directors (PDs)...

Despite a growing burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), there remain significant barriers to researchers living in these countries regarding the initiation, progression and completion of research. These obstacles are multifactorial, ranging from a lack of general incentives, national and institutional initiatives and capacity, limited opportunities for funding, and lack of mentorship and support for the presentation and publication of research. In this perspective piece, we highlight some of the challenges we have observed from our experience as early career cardiologists in LMICs and present some potential solutions to address these issues...

BACKGROUND: Hand in hand with technological advancements, treatment modalities continue to grow. With the turn of the century, the internet has become the number one source of information for almost every topic. Thus, many patients look toward the internet as their primary source of information to learn about their respective medical conditions. The American Medical Association and National Institute of Health strongly recommend that online medical information be written at the 6th to 8th -grade level to aid comprehension by patients of all literacy backgrounds...

INTRODUCTION: Tobacco advertisement, promotion, and sponsorship (TAPS) in all forms influences youth smoking behaviors. TAPS exposure enhances their smoking frequency and vulnerability. A 2018 Indonesia Ministry of Health (MoH) Survey showed increased smoking prevalence among youth aged 10-18 years. Thus, our objective was to analyze the relationship between TAPS and the increased Indonesian youth smoking behavior. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of the Indonesian 2019 Global Youth Tobacco Survey...

INTRODUCTION: Medical research and development (R&D) is an undoubtedly relevant activity to drive innovation, improve healthcare policies and bring patients treatment opportunities for common and rare diseases. Equity and inclusion are matters of concern in research. High-income countries' research teams are more likely to have more impactful publications, grant funding, and clinical trials than middle or low-income countries. Low budget allocations to R&D and existing gaps in regulatory frameworks are some obstacles to growth...
