Article Abstract
This cross-sectional German study examined the frequency of health literacy (HL) in adolescents and young adult (AYA) cancer patients and the factors associated with HL. A sample of 206 AYA-aged patients (80.1% female; age 15-39 years) completed measures of HL, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), depression, and sociodemographic characteristics; 28% had a sufficient HL score. Males and patients with higher education levels reported higher HL scores. Regression revealed positive associations between HL and HRQoL and depressive symptoms. Results suggest the need to further examine HL and its predictors in AYAs with cancer to develop interventions for improving HL.

Heart failure (HF) remains one of the leading causes of 30-day hospital readmissions, presenting a major challenge to healthcare systems worldwide. This comprehensive review synthesizes recent evidence on effective strategies to reduce readmission rates through patient education, self-care interventions, and systemic reforms. Structured education-particularly when reinforced postdischarge through methods like teach-back, tele-coaching, and home visits-has consistently demonstrated improved self-management, symptom recognition, and quality of life.

Background: With the development of artificial intelligence, obtaining patient-centered medical information through large language models (LLMs) is crucial for patient education. However, existing digital resources in online health care have heterogeneous quality, and the reliability and readability of content generated by various AI models need to be evaluated to meet the needs of patients with different levels of cultural literacy.
Objective: This study aims to compare the accuracy and readability of different LLMs in providing medical information related to gynecomastia, and explore the most promising science education tools in practical clinical applications.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a growing challenge to both individual and public health, driven by the excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics. Studies emphasize a widespread lack of knowledge regarding proper antibiotic use and the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. This study aims to explore the relationships between citizens' health engagement and attitudes towards antibiotic consumption (Hypothesis 1, Hypothesis 2) and explores the role of orientation to health literacy as a mediator of these relationships (Hypothesis 3).
