BMC儿科：视频游戏干预是否可以改善发育协调障碍儿童的运动结果？

发展协调障碍（DCD）发生在大约5％至6％的学龄人群中，可以限制其影响的儿童的学术，社会和身体能力。最近的研究重点是使用虚拟现实和视频游戏设备来提高DCD儿童的运动技能。

Mentiplay et al systematically reviewed 15 studies looking at the use of video games in DCD affected children. Nintendo Wii was the most commonly used intervention, appearing in 12 of the 15 studies. None of the studies included used virtual reality. While the studies included showed limited evidence to support the effectiveness of video games in improving the motor skills of DCD children, the majority of children both enjoyed and adhered to the video game interventions.

BMC癌：人乳头瘤病毒和乳腺癌：炎症和病毒表达蛋白的作用

乳腺癌是女性癌症死亡的主要原因之一。在过去的二十年中，全球乳腺癌的率一直在增加。人类乳头瘤病毒（HPV）与宫颈癌之间的联系已被广泛接受。但是，病毒与乳腺癌之间的联系较差。最近的研究表明，暴露于包括HPV在内的某些病毒是乳腺癌的危险因素。

The HPV genome was detected in 48.6% of breast cancer samples.

In a recent publication by Khodabandehlou et al, researchers determined the presence of HPV in breast cancer tissue. The HPV genome was detected in 48.6% of breast cancer samples. The researchers concluded that HPV is associated with breast cancer development but determining the exact mechanism and role of HPV in breast cancers will require further research.

Among the first publications are articles ranging in topics from the胰腺机器人和腹腔镜手术的病史to增加OCEM膜在O中的渗透性₂/n₂separation.

BMC Family Practice: A survey of the attitudes, beliefs and knowledge about medical cannabis among primary care providers

大麻目前已被美国综合药物滥用预防和控制法列为日程I药物。但是，美国29个州和哥伦比亚特区有计划allowing for the use of cannabis in specific medical conditions. Minnesota created its medical cannabis comprehensive program in May of 2014.

A survey conducted by Philpot et al, examines the attitude, beliefs, and knowledge about medical cannabis held by Minnesota primary care providers. They found that providers generally believe medical cannabis is a legitimate medical therapy. Greater than half of providers surveyed believed that medical cannabis is effective in the management of nausea and/or vomiting, muscle spasms, pain, and anxiety. However, 50% of providers surveyed indicated they “were not ready or did not want to answer patient questions about medical cannabis,” indicating that further work is needed to disseminate knowledge among primary care providers.

BMC老年人：对干预措施进行划分及其对社区居住老年人的药物依从性的影响

Medication adherence, the extent to which medications are taken following the instructions of a medical provider, is imperative to the management of many chronic diseases. However, estimates indicate that between 30 and 50% of people do not take their medications as prescribed. Adherence is particularly challenging in the older population because older people are often prescribed multiple medications and are sometimes affected by physical, cognitive, or sensory impairments.

Ulley等人进行的系统审查检查了deprescribing关于老年人的药物依从性。他们得出的结论是，分类并不能改善药物依从性。但是，他们认为这可能是因为纳入研究中的干预措施没有充分减少所服用的药物量。
