A Review published in BMCPalliatCare discusses the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of palliative care interventions for people with chronic heart failure and their caregivers.

The search strategy was developed by the authors with input from a Library Information Specialist. Relevant medical subject headings and keywords were used to search databases. Six electronic databases [MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, CINAHL , Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials , and Health Management Information Consortium ] were systematically searched from their inception to June 2019.

]. Meta-analysis was not considered appropriate, given the significant heterogeneity of the intervention delivered and outcome measures used in the studies included in this review.Initial database searches identified 2072 records and a further 11 studies were identified through grey literature searching. Once duplicates were removed, 1646 records remained, which were screened based on abstracts and titles. A total of 1548 articles were excluded.

The increasing role of electronic media in headache - BMC NeurologyMost individuals with access to the internet use social media platforms. These platforms represent an excellent opportunity to disseminate knowledge about management and treatment to the benefit of patients. The International Headache Society, The European Headache Federation, and The American Headache Society have electronic media committees to promote and highlight the organizations’ expertise and disseminate research findings. A growing mistrust in science has made dealing with infodemics (i.e., sudden access to excessive unvetted information) an increasing part of clinical management. An increasing role of these committees will be to address this challenge. As an example, recent studies have demonstrated that the most popular online content on migraine management is not evidence-based and is disseminated by for-profit organizations. As healthcare professionals and members of professional headache organizations, we are obliged to prioritize knowledge dissemination. A progressive social media strategy is associated not only with increased online visibility and outreach, but also with a higher scientific interest. To identify gaps and barriers, future research should assess the range of available information on headache disorders in electronic media, characterize direct and indirect consequences on clinical management, and recognize best practice and strategies to improve our communication on internet-based communication platforms. In turn, these efforts will reduce the burden of headache disorders by facilitating improved education of both patients and providers.
