Exploring barriers and facilitators of primary care physicians towards optimising statin therapy in patients with hyperlipidaemia in the very high-risk group: a qualitative study i... by Chun Yen Beh, Rose Wai-Yee Fok, Lay Hoon Goh

“…Objectives To explore the perspectives of primary care physicians with regard to the barriers and facilitators towards optimising statin therapy in patients with hyperlipidaemia in the very high-risk group.Design Qualitative descriptive study.Setting Four polyclinics in a public primary care institution in Singapore.Participants Seven men and five women working as primary care physicians were recruited for in-depth interviews.Results The major barriers to statin optimisation identified were patients’ lack of knowledge and awareness, patients’ fear of side effects, negative external influences on patients, poor doctor–patient relationship, time constraint during consultations, physicians’ unfamiliarity with guidelines, low health literacy among the local population and lack of strong national policy. The major facilitators identified were patient education, providing continuity of care, improving electronic medical record systems’ capabilities, physician education and public education.Conclusion We identified several important barriers and facilitators of statin therapy optimisation in this study. …”

Global Information and Structure Tensor Guided Collaborative Representation for Anomaly Detection by Meiping Song, Zhenyu Guo, Lan Li, Shihui Liu, Haimo Bao, Jiakang Li

“…However, they both encounter the problem of window size determination due to unexpectable target size, which will strongly limit their detection performance. On the other hand, some interferences show similar properties with anomalies, namely small, weak and in low probability, which would be wrongly reputed as anomalies and degrade the detection accuracy too. …”

Exploring environmental factors contributing to Parkinson’s disease in AfrAbian populations by Wael Mohamed

“…In addition, we will investigate how these variables disrupt processes such as excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, all of which are strongly linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study presents a plausible rationale for the adverse effects of environmental influences on the brain, which are pivotal in the progression or onset of Parkinson’s disease from an AfrAbian standpoint.…”

Lateral-Torsional Coupling Characteristics of a Two-Stage Planetary Gear Rotor System by Zhipeng Wang, Yunbo Yuan, Zhiyong Wang, Wei Liu, Yibin Guo, Donghua Wang

“…Planetary gears are one part of the whole transmission chain, and the dynamics and vibration characteristics of them are strongly coupled with external rotors. In this paper, to demonstrate the interaction between multistage planetary gears and external rotors as well as investigate the lateral-torsional coupling characteristics of them, a coupling model of a two-stage planetary gear rotor system is proposed. …”
