Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death globally. Managing risk factors and preventing atherosclerosis and its progress, especially with lifestyle changes, are highly important. Smartphone-based mobile health (mHealth) strategies allow easily accessible assistance for healthy nutrition. This study aimed to assess ...
Background/Objectives: Family physicians are essential to a well-functioning healthcare system; however, they face significant administrative and cognitive burdens that contribute to their burnout and reduce the quality of patient care they provide. Digital health tools offer potential solutions to these problems. This study examined the interface ...

Electronic consultations (eConsults) have been implemented by numerous academic medical centers (AMCs) to improve communication and address access to specialty care. As these models proliferate, we must understand their comparative benefit and use in various settings. This retrospective, descriptive analysis compares eConsult utilization trends at ...

Pheochromocytomas (PCCs) and paragangliomas (PGLs), denoted PPGLs, are rare neuroendocrine tumours and are highly heterogeneous. The phenotype-genotype correlation is poor; therefore, additional studies are needed to understand their pathogenesis. We describe the clinical characteristics of 63 patients with PPGLs and perform a genetic study. Geneti...

This work was aimed to identify androgen receptors (AR) in the spermatozoa of wild and domestic ruminants and to assess the effect of testosterone on sperm localization of aquaporin-3 (AQP3) and cryopreservation process. Sperm samples from wild species were incubated with testosterone (T group), 1,3-propanediol (PDO group), phloretin (PHL group), P...
BACKGROUND: The experience sampling method (ESM), a self-report method that typically uses multiple assessments per day, can provide detailed knowledge of the daily experiences of people with cancer, potentially informing oncological care. The use of the ESM among people with advanced cancer is limited, and no validated ESM questionnaires have been...

Electronic health (eHealth) and mobile health (mHealth) could stimulate physical activity (PA) in a time-efficient and cost-effective way. This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate effects on moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) of different combined computer- and mobile-based PA interventions targeted at adults aged 50 years and over. Partici...

Bariatric surgery is an effective long-term treatment for severe obesity, but relapse rates remain high. Digital interventions can enhance patient care, yet research on the intention to use digital discharge management interventions is lacking. This study aims to assess the behavioral intention to use digital discharge management interventions afte...
Managing noncommunicable diseases effectively requires continuous coordination and monitoring, often facilitated by eHealth technologies like mobile health (mHealth) apps. The end-user version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale is a valuable tool for assessing the quality of mHealth apps from the user perspective. However, the absence of a Fren...
