This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a training intervention focused on patients with antivitamin K anticoagulants included in a self-care program. For this, we made a quasi-experimental study, pretest and post-test, using a validated questionnaire with 2 measures, before and after an educational intervention about oral anticoagulation focused on patients that will initiate the self-control program in consultation. To check the patient's adherence and coagulation level, we evaluated the Rosendaal time in therapeutic rank, both before and after the intervention. One hundred fifty patients were included since the start of the self-monitoring program in our center in 2016. The mean age was 49 years (standard deviation [SD] = 17.24). The distribution by gender was 76 women and 69 men (52.4%-47.6%). The mean score for the first test was 14.61 (SD = 3.26) and the mean score for the second test was 17.01 (SD = 2.14) (P <.001). We also measured Rosendaal time in therapeutic rank, a parameter that indicates stabilization in international normalized ratio determinations and quality of the anticoagulation management. Values before and after interventions were also statistically significant (67.46 vs 70.53, P <.001). Patients' knowledge improved after the training session, with statistical significance. Despite intentional sampling, the population was homogeneous. Scoring data dispersion in the second test was significantly lower than in the first one. Time on therapeutic rank values was better after the training. We intend to adapt its content to the rest of anticoagulated patients to enhance and improve their follow-up.</p>","PeriodicalId":18549,"journal":{"name":"Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11537636/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142574846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The protein level of CDK6 was determined by Western blot. Cell counting kit 8 and colony formation assays were used to assess cell proliferation.

The underlying mechanism is that Lnc NEAT1 serves as a sponge for miR-152-3p to suppress the inhibitory effect of miR-152-3p on CDK6. Furthermore, the miR-152-3p/ CDK6 axis was implicated in the progression of melanoma accelerated by Lnc NEAT1.

CTNNB1 mutations are most found in uterine endometrioid carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, no CTNNB1 mutations were found to be associated with a poor prognosis. In addition, CTNNB1 DNA methylation levels were higher in normal tissues than in tumor tissues in cancer except for breast invasive carcinoma, which had higher methylation levels in tumor tissues.

Comprehensive sexuality education programs have been implemented in schools and communities to provide young people with accurate information on HIV transmission, prevention methods, and reproductive health. Condom distribution and promotion campaigns target sexually active youth, while HIV testing and counseling services aim to reach youth in various settings, including health facilities and community outreaches. The implementation of HIV prevention strategies involves collaboration among government agencies, NGOs, healthcare providers, educators, and community leaders. Efforts are made to ensure that prevention programs are culturally appropriate, evidence-based, and responsive to the needs of young people.

Continuous monitoring and evaluation are essential to assess the impact of interventions and identify areas for improvement. Recommendations include increasing funding for HIV prevention programs, strengthening policy frameworks, enhancing access to youth-friendly health services, integrating comprehensive sexuality education into school curricula, and fostering community engagement.
