AYAs' online information and eHealth needs: A comparison with healthcare professionals' perceptions.

BackgroundAdolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with cancer fulfill their cancer-related information needs often via the Internet. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) have a crucial role in guiding patients in finding appropriate online information and eHealth sources, a role that is often overlooked. Misperceptions of AYAs' needs by HCPs may lead to suboptimal guidance. We aimed to examine the extent to which AYAs' online information and eHealth needs corresponded with HCPs' perceptions of these needs.MethodsTwo cross-sectional online surveys (AYAs, n = 299; HCP, n = 80) on online informa

Emphasizing Patient-Centricity Through a Tailored Training Program to Empower Patients, Advocates, and Ethics Committees in Good Clinical Practice.

ObjectivesGood Clinical Practices (GCP) are essential for patient-centric research. The standard bioethics and GCP training emphasizing a "one-size-fits-all" approach may not adequately equip ethics committee members, especially the lay and social scientist members, towards their critical role in reviewing clinical trials and related documentation. This article explores a patient-centered, patient advocates-driven training program focused on raising awareness about research ethics and GCP among patients, advocates and ethics committee members.MethodsA patient advocates-driven program called Pa

Role of decentralized clinical trials in cancer drug development: Results from a survey of oncologists and patients.

As a result of the unprecedented challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic on enrollment to cancer clinical trials, there has been an urgency to identify and incorporate new solutions to mitigate these difficulties. The concept of decentralized or hybrid clinical trials has rapidly gained currency, given that it aims to reduce patient burden, increase patient enrollment and retention, and preserve quality of life, while also increasing the efficiency of trial logistics. Therefore, the clinical trial environment is moving toward remote collection and assessment of data, transitioning from the

Endothelial dysfunction in congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency: current knowledge and novel biomarkers.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is a complex endocrine disorder characterized by impaired cortisol synthesis and androgen excess. Beyond its hormonal and metabolic implications, CAH has been increasingly associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular complications, including endothelial dysfunction, a critical precursor to atherosclerosis and a risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. This review explores the current knowledge on endothelial function in patients with CAH, focusing on the interplay between chronic hormonal imbalanc

Breaking the obesity-cancer link: assessing European school-based and complementary obesity-prevention strategies and their implementation obstacles

Nowadays, obesity among children and adolescents is considered an additional factor in cancer development during adulthood. These facts are supported by current epidemiological studies. To address these challenges, a wide range of obesity prevention programmes have been launched in Europe, promoting actions for personalized healthy dietary behaviors, physical exercise, and combinations of both, often using e-health platforms. Another pillar of interventions is school-based policies, such as limiting access to high-fat and high-sugar foods or providing healthy food vouchers, which represent ano
