In this review, the most recent evidence regarding treatment modalities for early primary open-angle glaucoma is presented and an updated framework for management guidance is proposed. Older adults, including racial and ethnic minorities, are underrepresented in research. As the US population ages, the number of older racial and ethnic minority individuals will increase. Including these individuals in research is an important step towards reducing health disparities. We used data from HealthStreet, a University of Florida community engagement program which uses community health workers to assess the health of the community, to assess willingness to participate in different types of health research by race/ethnicity. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used to assess willingness to participate among adults aged 50 and older, by race/ethnicity (n = 4694). Our sample was 42.0% non-Hispanic White, 52.8% non-Hispanic Black, and 5.2% Hispanic. Non-Hispanic White participants reported more past research participation than non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic participants (28.7% vs. 19.0% and 19.2%, respectively). Compared with non-Hispanic White participants, non-Hispanic Ble Hispanic individuals are less willing to participate in studies that may be seen as invasive or demanding. It is imperative to include diverse older adults in health research. By tailoring research based on preferences we can improve recruitment in underrepresented populations. The increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) associated with long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has attracted considerable attention; however, the conclusions of studies evaluating this correlation are inconsistent or even controversial. Pexidartinib Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the association of PPI use with the risk of CRC. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify relevant studies. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations between PPI use and the risk of CRC were estimated with a fixed-effects or random-effects model. We identified and included 9 observational studies (3 cohort studies and 6 case-control studies) comprising 1,036,438 participants. Overall, there was no statistically significant association between PPI use and the risk of CRC (pooled OR 1.26, 95% CI 0.90-1.73; p = 0.166) when PPI exposure was assessed as a binary variable. However, a weak association between long-term use of PPIs and CRC was demonstrated (pooled OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.09-1.31; p < 0.001) when the cumulative duration of PPI exposure was confined to > 5 years. Although the present meta-analysis suggests a weak association between long-term use (> 5 years) of PPIs and CRC, there is not enough statistical power to refute or confirm an association between the use of PPIs and CRC. More high-quality prospective cohort studies are needed to assess this correlation. 5 years) of PPIs and CRC, there is not enough statistical power to refute or confirm an association between the use of PPIs and CRC. More high-quality prospective cohort studies are needed to assess this correlation.An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via a link at the top of the paper. The value of carer involvement has been extensively researched and promoted. However, the field lacks exploration of conceptual issues, which might help to explain why there are widespread difficulties in putting policy into practice in this area, as implementation rates remain low internationally. This qualitative study explored patients', carers' and clinicians' perspectives on the role of carers in mental healthcare, particularly with regards to in-patient settings. Sixteen focus groups were conducted with patients, ca
