Despite this, there has been an increased focus on male presentations. Research evidence, including concerns from people with lived experience, highlights specific risks and unmet clinical needs as a result of delayed help-seeking, inaccessible services, and treatment that does not account for men's needs. <b>Methods</b> Published research and personal narrative from an author with lived experience are combined to assess (1) existing evidence and gaps in knowledge and treatment for males with AN, and (2) solutions which may address challenges across research, policy, and clinical practice. <b>Results</b> There is an increased prevalence of AN amongst males, with most recent data from National Health Service (NHS) England showing a faster increase in hospitalisations amongst males compared with females. However, the quantity and quality of prevalence data and research into the drivers of this trend are severely lacking. The exclusion of males from clinical research has hindered efforts to assess the efficacy of current AN treatments, despite emerging evidence for males-specific symptoms and health impacts across biopsychosocial domains. These include more frequent use of excessive exercise, feelings of emasculation, neurodivergence, and specific physiological risks occurring at higher weights than females. These factors combine with under-resourced treatment provision which often feels exclusionary to males to create an increased risk of death and significant barriers to recovery. <b>Conclusion</b> Evidenced solutions for providing more timely recognition and effective treatment for males with AN are limited, emphasising the importance of further research. Present-day clinical practice needs to ensure the safe medical management of males with AN, taking an integrated approach to treatment that accounts for co-occurring conditions and minority status identities. Being more responsive to the needs of males with AN and removing the barriers to effective care can be aided by projects that collaborate with men with lived experience.</p>","PeriodicalId":9256,"journal":{"name":"British journal of hospital medicine","volume":"86 6","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144483190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, participation in pulmonary rehabilitation among patients experiencing acute exacerbation of COPD remains suboptimal. Current research primarily focuses on the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of pulmonary rehabilitation among COPD patients during hospitalization or at home, with limited studies investigating the transitional period following discharge. This study aimed to investigate the KAP of pulmonary rehabilitation during the discharge transition period and identify the associated influencing factors, providing significant reference and guidance for improving the rehabilitation outcomes in COPD patients. <b>Methods</b> This cross-sectional study employed a convenience sampling method to recruit patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) treated at Jiangsu Subei People's Hospital between June 2023 and May 2024. Data collection instruments included a general data questionnaire, a COPD-specific pulmonary rehabilitation KAP questionnaire, and the Mini Nutrition Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF). Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to identify factors influencing KAP of pulmonary rehabilitation in AECOPD patients during the discharge transition period. <b>Results</b> A total of 130 questionnaires were distributed, with 128 valid responses collected, yielding an effective response rate of 98.46%. The overall KAP score of AECOPD patients during the discharge transition period was 57.52 ± 8.92.

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of low-dose and high-dose donepezil combined with memantine on the behavioral and psychological symptoms, cognitive function, and daily living abilities of patients with moderate to severe AD, and to explore their safety. <b>Methods</b> This retrospective study includes 106 AD patients who received treatment in the Third People's Hospital of Fuyang from January 2022 to January 2024. The patients were grouped according to treatment regimen: patients receiving low-dose donepezil (5 mg/day) combined with memantine were included in the low-dose group (<i>n</i> = 45), and those receiving high-dose donepezil (10 mg/day) combined with memantine were included in the high-dose group (<i>n</i> = 61). The assessment results of behavioral and psychological symptoms, cognitive function, daily living ability, quality of life, sleep quality, as well as the occurrence of adverse reactions during treatment were obtained from electronic medical records for the two groups of patients before and after 24 weeks of treatment, and were compared using appropriate statistical tests. <b>Results</b> After 24 weeks of treatment, the scores of neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI) and behavioral pathology in Alzheimer's disease rating scale (BEHAVE-AD) were similar between the two groups (<i>p</i> > 0.05). The scores of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Alzheimer's disease assessment scale-cognitive section (ADAS-Cog) were similar between the two groups (<i>p</i> > 0.05). The scores of activities of daily living (ADL) were comparable between the two groups (<i>p</i> > 0.05), and the low-dose group had significantly higher quality of life-Alzheimer's disease (QOL-AD) scores compared to the high-dose group (<i>p</i> < 0.05). The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scores of patients in the high-dose group were significantly higher than those before treatment and those in the low-dose group (<i>p</i> < 0.05).

Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is the current standard for diagnosing PE, however, demand for imaging places strain on healthcare systems and increases error rates. This systematic review aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy and clinical applicability of artificial intelligence (AI)-based models for PE detection on CTPA, exploring their potential to enhance diagnostic reliability and efficiency across clinical settings. <b>Methods</b> A systematic review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cochrane, PubMed, and Google Scholar were searched for original articles from inception to September 2024. Articles were included if they reported successful AI integration, whether partial or full, alongside CTPA scans for PE detection in patients. <b>Results</b> The literature search identified 919 articles, with 745 remaining after duplicate removal. Following rigorous screening and appraisal aligned with inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 studies were included in the final analysis. A total of three primary AI modalities emerged: convolutional neural networks (CNNs), segmentation models, and natural language processing (NLP), collectively used in the analysis of 341,112 radiographic images. CNNs were the most frequently applied modality in this review. Models such as AdaBoost and EmbNet have demonstrated high sensitivity, with EmbNet achieving 88-90.9% per scan and reducing false positives to 0.45 per scan. <b>Conclusion</b> AI shows significant promise as a diagnostic tool for identifying PE on CTPA scans, particularly when combined with other forms of clinical data. However, challenges remain, including ensuring generalisability, addressing potential bias, and conducting rigorous external validation.
