ReviewBest Evidence Summary of Home Enteral Tube Feeding Care Management in the Elderly.
To evaluate and summarize the best evidence of home enteral tube feeding (HETF) care management in the elderly to provide an evidence-based basis for caregivers to implement care interventions. ⋯ This study comprehensively summarized the best evidence of home enteral tube feeding care management in the elderly and provided a scientific basis for caregivers to implement care interventions. In home care settings, using evidence-based practices requires developing a comprehensive care management system based on the trinity of hospital, community and home, in order to reduce the incidence of HETF-related complications, improve the quality of life of the elderly with HETF, and provide a practical reference for NST members and caregivers.

ReviewSuitability of Measures of Pharmacy-Based Medication Adherence for Routine Clinical Use Among Patients with Chronic Diseases: A Systematic Review.
To identify the suitability of pharmacy-based measures for determining medication adherence in routine clinical use. ⋯ This systematic review demonstrates that pharmacy-based measures possess valid characteristics, including comprehensive, accurate, objective, reliable, and continuously updated adherence history records. These measures are designed to minimize disruption while offering high sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, they are characterized by their practicality, being cost-effective, easy to implement, and easy to interpret. These findings suggest that pharmacy-based measures are potentially suitable to assess medication adherence for routine clinical use.

ReviewA Systematic Review Uncovering Modifiable Influences on Statin Adherence.
Statins are effective in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, but adherence rates remain low globally. Understanding and addressing modifiable influences on adherence is key to improving outcomes. Existing reviews have methodological limitations, often failing to integrate qualitative and quantitative data or consider specific barriers to statin adherence. ⋯ While side effects had inconsistent associations with adherence, forgetfulness was mainly addressed in quantitative studies, and social influences were highlighted in qualitative research. This review identified modifiable factors that could improve statin adherence. Future research should focus on addressing barriers faced by underrepresented groups to create more inclusive and effective interventions that enhance patient support and communication for better health outcomes.

ReviewThe Body weight Reducing Effects of Tirzepatide in People with and without Type 2 Diabetes: A Review on Efficacy and Adverse Effects.
Obesity is becoming more frequent and has several negative health impacts. Recent advances in weight management strategies have primarily resided in pharmaceutical treatments, and the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have shown great potential in terms of body weight reduction in addition to improving glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Recently, the dual GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist tirzepatide has been developed. ⋯ Overall, discontinuation due to adverse events occurred in 3-7% of participants with no major differences between individuals with and without T2D. The higher weight-reducing efficacy of tirzepatide in trial participants without T2D is currently unexplained and may be partly reflected in dissimilarities in frequencies of gastrointestinal adverse events. The weight reducing effects of tirzepatide hold great promise for weight management in obese patients regardless of the presence of T2D.

ReviewInterventions to Improve Endoscopic Screening Adherence of Cancer in High-Risk Populations: A Scoping Review.
Colorectal, and gastric cancers have the second, and fourth mortality rates worldwide, respectively. Endoscopic screening is a crucial diagnostic tool for colorectal, and gastric cancers. Effective interventions can improve adherence to endoscopic screening in high-risk populations, which is important for cancer prevention and mortality reduction. This study aimed to identify interventions that could improve adherence to endoscopic screening for cancer in high-risk populations. ⋯ All interventions involved were effective in increasing individual knowledge of cancer-related endoscopic screening, willingness to undergo screening, and screening behaviors. These findings provide a reference for designing endoscopy-related cancer screening interventions.
