Low influenza vaccination rates among specific risk groups contribute to the burden of disease and remain a major public health challenge. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to provide the most recent evidence on the determinants of influenza vaccination in people over 65 years of age. During the review process, we followed the recommendations for PRISMA systematic reviews. The bibliographic search was carried out in databases Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), SCOPUS, MedLine / PubMed, Cochrane, Google Scholar, with free and controlled language and the search terms MeSh: Vaccination Coverage, Health Communication, Aged, Influenza Vaccines by combining them with the Boolean operators AND and OR. The search was limited to articles published between 2019-2024. Seven original research articles were included, of which observational and cross-sectional studies were identified as the main type of study. The topic of study represents education, the recruitment of the vulnerable population and the detection of sociodemographic factors that affect vaccination coverage. The findings of this review suggest that it would be beneficial to take into account communication, education and recruitment as determining factors of influenza vaccination in those over 65 years of age. In this sense, effective strategies could be implemented to increase vaccination coverage in the most vulnerable population and improve future vaccination campaigns.

Introduction
Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is a public health problem in our clinics and in the quality of life of patients, therefore it is necessary to analyze the actions in the management of HD by healthcare professionals in Spain.
Material and methods
Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study with data collection through a 28-question survey using a Google® form. 240 surveys were received. Quantitative variables were represented with means and standard deviation and qualitative variables with percentages.
Results
Two hundred and forty surveys were analyzed. Sixty-five percent of respondents were women, with a mean age of 48 ± 12 years. Ninety-three percent of the professionals had 21-30 years of clinical experience, with more than 70% being family physicians. Fifty-nine percent considered that HD is adequately diagnosed in primary care, but there was a negative impact on follow-up during the COVID-19 pandemic, as 90% considered it inadequate. Forty-two percent of participants were not familiar with the Goligher classification, while 20% knew it and used it in their practice. The most commonly prescribed combination was the use of topical corticosteroids, bulk-forming laxatives, phlebotonics or venoactive drugs, and non-pharmacological measures (12.1%), with diosmin/hesperidin being the most prescribed venoactive agent (63%). Thirty-nine point six percent stated that HD is undertreated. Eighty-nine percent of physicians acknowledged not using any algorithm or protocol for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of HD in their practice, and 89% stated that they were not trained in their workplaces. Seventy-five percent of doctors believed that one of the main limitations hindering the follow-up of the disease was the lack of time during consultations.
Conclusions
Approximately 3 out of 5 professionals believe they adequately manage HD, and only 1 out of 5 respondents acknowledge knowing and using the Goligher classification in their clinical practice. Furthermore, 2 out of 5 assert that HD is undertreated in primary care. The prescription patterns for HD are heterogeneous, involving multiple combinations. The vast majority of professionals do not follow any established protocol for managing the disease. The survey highlights the need for training our professionals in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of HD to ensure that our patients receive the highest possible quality of healthcare.

Objectives
To quantify parkinsonian patients in the Region of Murcia (RM), their health areas and zones, and find their prevalences and percentages.
Material and methods
All RM patients registered in Primary Care of the Murcian Health Service with the CIAP-2 code N87 were included. We calculated number, prevalence and percentages by age and sex groups, means and age ranges and years of evolution. The study was carried out at the age of diagnosis and at the age of data collection, analyzing their differences.
Results
We obtained 3050 parkinsonian patients (1476 men and 1574 women) with respective prevalences of 206.09 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (206.09/105), 199.06/105 and 213.15/105, not significant differences by sex or in number of patients (p = 0.79) or in prevalence (P = .52). By age group, prevalences were higher in men (P < .05) between 50 and 99 years of age (not between 90 and 94 and ≥ 100 years). Of the 9 Health Areas, the highest prevalences were in areas IV Northwest, with 322.31/105, and V Altiplano, with 304.30/105, and the lowest prevalence, of 171.13/105, was observed in Area VII Murcia East (P < .05). Of the 85 Health Zones, the one with the highest prevalence was Lorca-La Paca, with 510.51/105, and the one with the lowest Murcia-Zarandona, with 78.48/105 (P < .05).
Conclusions
First demographic and detailed prevalence study of parkinsonism in the RM. The prevalence in RM was 206.09/105. By health areas, the highest prevalences were in the Northwest and Altiplano and by health areas a prevalence of 510.51/105 stood out. This work aims to be useful to facilitate resource planning, with consequent better health care.

Background
Randomised clinical trials (RCTs) hold the highest validity level in effectiveness research. However, there is a growing concern regarding their trustworthiness. We aimed to appraise the quality and reporting of recommendation documents regarding research integrity to describe their contribution towards fostering RCT integrity.
Methods
Following prospective registration (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/DN93K), searches of electronic databases (Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar) and relevant websites were performed from inception to 30 July 2023 without language limitations. Data extraction and document appraisal using adapted versions of AGREE II, RIGHT and ACCORD checklists were carried out in duplicate. Appraisal data were synthesised as % of the maximum score and documents were classified as: good ≥ 70%, average 50–69%, and poor < 50%.
Results
From 1310 citations 14 recommendation documents were selected. Of these, 11 documents (78%) were of poor quality according to all three appraisal checklists. Reviewer agreement was 86–100% regarding the checklist items. The top three documents were: “International multi-stakeholder consensus statement on clinical trial integrity” (score 70% on AGREE II, 96% on RIGHT and 88% on ACCORD); “Development of consensus on essential virtues for ethics and research integrity” (score 51% on AGREE II, 71% on RIGHT and 77% on ACCORD); and “Hong Kong principles for assessing researchers” (score 19% on AGREE II, 57% on RIGHT and 10% on ACCORD).
Conclusion
There is a room from improvement in the quality and reporting of recommendation documents to help fostering RCT integrity. All stakeholders in the RCT lifecycle making concerted efforts to improve trust in evidence-based medicine need robust guidance to underpin research integrity policies and guidelines.

To analyze the evidence in the scientific literature that relates Long-Covid and obesity, a narrative review of articles published in English and Spanish in Medline and Embase in the last 5 years has been carried out. Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes a systemic inflammatory state increasing nutritional demand that favors sarcopenia in Long-Covid syndrome. It also causes endothelial dysfunction and a prothrombotic state that favors the formation of microthrombi and tissue hypoxia. A healthy and balanced diet is essential to treat obesity in addition to modifying the microbiota in Long-Covid and promoting physical and mental well-being. Obesity is an independent risk factor that increases the need for hospitalization, cardiovascular risk and mortality, as well as susceptibility to Long-Covid. Adipose tissue is a good reservoir of the virus, enhancing the comorbidities associated with obesity (high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia or fatty liver). There is insufficient evidence to recommend nutritional supplements to improve Long-Covid symptoms.
