Published 28 June 2020 There has been an abundance of research discussing the health implications of generalised trust and happiness over the past two decades. Both attitudes have been touted as independent predictors of morbidity and mortality, with strikingly similar trajectories and biological pathways being hypothesised. To date, however, neither trust nor happiness have been considered simult

Published 28 June 2020 There has been a lack of estimates for the incidence/prevalence and treatment patterns of MPNs in many regions of the world, including countries from South Asia, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Turkey, leading to a difficulty in estimating the true disease burden. Hence, there is a need to establish databases like registries, which would provide information on the “real‐world
