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.

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.

Impact of Fasting on Physical Activity Motivation and Weight Reduction in Patients Administered Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Agonists: A Qualitative Study.
This study aims to investigate the possible impacts of fasting on physical activity and weight loss in adult users of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, specifically semaglutide and tirzepatide, using qualitative methods to gain in-depth insights into participants' experiences and perceptions. ⋯ The research indicated that the combination of GLP-1 agonists and physical activity influenced weight loss during fasting in Ramadan among the participants. These findings suggest that combining these medications with increased physical activity and fasting can effectively reduce BMI and improve overall health outcomes for individuals managing weight and chronic diseases over an extended duration.

Level of Satisfaction Among Patients Using Insulin Administered by Pen vs Vial/Syringe. An Observational Prospective Study.
To determine the satisfaction of patients with diabetes mellitus who used subcutaneous insulin application devices in Colombia. ⋯ The participants had low satisfaction with the insulin delivery device. No statistically significant differences were found in satisfaction between those who received pen vs vial/syringe insulin, and patients using the latter had a high probability of switching to insulin pen.
