This research aims to assess trends in interest in CPD in healthcare in the world using modern Google Trends technologies. Google Trends is a web application designed to analyse the search behavior of Google users. Google Trends technology allows to obtain quantitative and qualitative indicators of Google user search queries across different countries and enables the identification current trends over a specified time period. To search for global related trends, the reporting indicators from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) were utilized for countries leading in the number of search queries for the term „CPD in healthcare“. There was a stable level of search activity of Google users related to CPD. A significant advantage of search queries in English for the term "CPD in healthcare" in Google was recorded in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. The assessment of queries showed that from 2004 to 2026, there was a trend of increasing interest in continuing medical education among Google users worldwide, with a significant increase in interest in recent years, especially after 2025. In July 2026, an analysis of interest in the topic of research among the English medium audience of Google users over the past 3 months was repeated. Conclusion: Determining the global priority of CPD in the field of healthcare enables higher medical education institutions worldwide to be competitive and realize the advantages of existing fundamental medical schools in the current conditions of a shortage of medical personnel in the world and increasing interest in training in medical specialties. Using the Google Trends web application can be an additional tool for assessing interest in CPD of healthcare rofessionals for the planning of activities by education providers.

  Neurophysiological mechanisms of attention and emotion regulation: relationship of attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity, depression and sleep

  Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depressive disorders, and sleep disturbances share common neurobiological mechanisms that affect attention, emotional regulation, and cognitive functioning. The aim of this study was to summarize current evidence on the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying these conditions. A narrative review of PubMed-indexed publications (2022–2025) was conducted, including systematic reviews, clinical studies, and neuroimaging investigations. The analysis demonstrated that serotonergic dysfunction, impaired prefrontal cortex–amygdala connectivity, reduced emotional regulation flexibility, and chronic sleep deprivation are key mechanisms contributing to cognitive and emotional dysfunction. These findings support the need for an integrated approach to prevention and treatment, combining pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, lifestyle modification, and sleep optimization.
