Authors: Pereira Thamíris , Mocellin Michel Carlos , Curioni Cintia 
Published: December 2024

ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the association between ultraprocessed foods (UPF) consumption, eating disorders (EDs), food addiction and body image concerns.DesignSystematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.Data sourcesMedline, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, LILACS and APA PsycInfo databases, for studies published between 2009 and July 2024.Eligibility criteriaWe included cross-sectional and cohort studies involving individuals of all ages, evaluating the association between UPF consumption, classified by the ‘NOVA system’, EDs, food addiction and body image. No restrictions were placed on diagnostic criteria, age and gender. Studies that modelled UPF consumption as both an exposure and an outcome were included.Data extraction and synthesisData extraction and quality assessment were performed by two independent reviewers. Methodological quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist.ResultsWe did not identify any longitudinal studies. Nine cross-sectional studies were included (n=54 367 participants). One study assessed EDs types, including restrictive, bulimic, binge eating and other (not otherwise specified); three studies examined body dissatisfaction, while five studies investigated food addiction. The consumption of UPF was significantly associated with bulimic, binge eating and other ED and food addiction. No significant associations were identified between restrictive ED and body dissatisfaction.ConclusionThis systematic review highlights a significant gap in research on this topic. Although some associations have been found, the findings are limited to cross-sectional studies with methodological limitations. The lack of longitudinal studies emphasises the need for more rigorous research to accurately assess the direction of these relationships.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42022365154.

Published: December 2024

IntroductionHypoxaemia is a frequent complication associated with endoscopy conducted under intravenous sedation, highlighting the need for effective and practical interventions. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nasal mask oxygenation in reducing the incidence of hypoxaemia during endoscopy under intravenous sedation compared with the conventional oxygen supply.Methods and analysisThis study strictly adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocol guidelines. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases will be electronically searched from their inception to May 2024 to identify randomised controlled trials comparing a nasal mask with conventional oxygen supply for endoscopy under intravenous sedation. The study selection, data extraction and quality assessment processes will be conducted independently by two reviewers. The risk of bias in the included studies will be assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool for Randomized Trials, and the strength of evidence will be assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation guidelines. The meta-analysis will be performed using STATA V.16.0, with effect sizes calculated using the standardised mean difference and 95% CI. Heterogeneity will be assessed using Cochran’s Q statistics, and inconsistency will be measured using I2statistics. Potential sources of bias will also be evaluated.Ethics and disseminationThe data used for this systematic review will be exclusively extracted from published studies. Additional ethical approval and informed consent are not required. This systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and will be presented at conferences and congresses.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42024545231

Published: December 2024

BackgroundEndovascular arterial embolization (EAE) is an effective treatment for severe epistaxis refractory to conservative management with nasal packing. However, contemporary real-world data are lacking, as are data on head-to-head comparisons of EAE versus nasal packing alone.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) from 2016 to 2021 in the United States. Patients with severe epistaxis treated with nasal packing alone or EAE with or without nasal packing were included and followed for 180 days. Propensity score matching (PSM) for demographics, comorbidities, and hemorrhage risk factors was performed to balance patient characteristics. Primary outcome was recurrent epistaxis. Secondary outcomes include rates of non-routine hospital discharge (indicating short-term morbidity or mortality) and ischemic stroke.Results25 160 patients admitted to hospital for severe epistaxis were included; 754 (3.3%) underwent EAE. After PSM, 1542 patients remained in the conservative management group, and 743 remained in the EAE group. Overall, the risk of epistaxis readmission was lower after EAE compared with conservative management (HR 0.47, 95% CI 0.26 to 0.87, P=0.016); the 180-day epistaxis readmission rate was 4.6% and 10.6%, respectively (P=0.024). EAE was significantly associated with lower rates of non-routine discharge (22.1% vs 28.9%, P=0.026), despite a higher rate of ischemic stroke (1.6% vs 0.4%, P=0.017).ConclusionsFor patients with severe epistaxis, EAE is associated with a significant reduction of epistaxis recurrence rates as well as lower rates of patient morbidity compared with nasal packing alone, despite a small but significant increase in risk of ischemic stroke.
Interprofessional collaboration in primary care for patients with chronic illness: a scoping review mapping leadership and followership

Published: December 2024

BackgroundEffective interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in primary care is essential in providing high-quality care for patients with chronic illness. However, the traditional role-based leadership approach may hinder IPC. Instead, physicians should also take followership roles, allowing other healthcare team members (OHCTMs) to lead when they have expertise and/or experience. Understanding of leadership and followership within IPC remains limited in primary care for patients with chronic illness. Hence, this review aims to explore the definitions and conceptualisations of leadership and followership and to map relevant training in this context.MethodsFollowing the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews, an electronic search was conducted across PubMed, Embase and Web of Science. Three independent reviewers assessed publications for eligibility. Descriptive and thematic analysis were employed.ResultsFrom 2194 identified articles, 57 were included. Only two articles defined leadership approaches, and none explicitly addressed followership. Nevertheless, our analysis identified leadership shifts from physicians to OHCTMs, and vice versa for followership, driven by complexity of care, physician shortages and healthcare costs. Enablers of these shifts included physician trusting OHCTMs, collaborative practice agreements and physicians’ interprofessional experience. Barriers included traditional hierarchies, OHCTMs’ lack of competence and physicians’ lack of IPC experience. Four articles mentioned relevant training however without detailed information.DiscussionLeadership in IPC for chronic illness in primary care is rarely defined, and followership is largely neglected. Nevertheless, leadership–followership shifts do occur in leadership and followership roles of physicians and OHCTMs. Further research needs to explore physicians’ followership and relevant competencies, and relevant training is required.
Development and Validation of a Model Predicting Malignant Potential of Adnexal Masses in Areas with Scarcity of Ultrasound Resources
Authors: Cui Guangxia , Guo Yu , Bai Wenpei 
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Appropriately stratifying the risk of adnexal masses is of great importance. Many diagnostic algorithms have been devised, most of which rely on ultrasound features. However, some remote areas lack trained sonographers. This study aimed to develop an alternative model to distinguish between malignant and benign adnexal masses in resource-constrained settings using clinical information rather than ultrasound data.
Methods: The study included women diagnosed with an adnexal tumor and scheduled for surgery between 2020 and 2023. Participants were divided into two groups based on histopathology reports: those with malignant adnexal masses and those with benign ones. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent predictors of adnexal mass malignancy. The training set yielded a nomogram model, which was then validated in the validation set. The model's effectiveness was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC), calibration, and clinical decision analysis (DCA) curves.
Results: We randomly assigned 550 participants to the training and the validation sets in an 8:2 ratio. Logistic regression analyses identified age (OR = 1.044, P = 0.003), abdominal distension (OR = 0.139, P < 0.001), serum CA125 (OR = 1.007, P < 0.001), and serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (OR = 1.291, P = 0.004) as independent risk factors for predicting malignant adnexal tumors. A nomogram was constructed using these factors. The ROC curve showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.846 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.783, 0.908) in the training set and 0.817 (95% CI: 0.668, 0.966) in the validation set. The calibration curve showed good consistency between model predictions and actual outcomes. The DCA curve demonstrated a considerable clinical advantage afforded by the model.
Conclusions: The logistic regression model can aid gynecologists—particularly those in areas with limited access to skilled sonographers—in identifying patients at high risk and implementing appropriate management strategies.
Hybrid Numerical Weather Prediction: Downscaling GraphCast AI Forecasts for Downslope Windstorms

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Preemptively managing electrical circuits during periods of elevated wildfire risk, such as downslope windstorms in complex terrain, necessitates accurate, high-resolution forecasts days in advance. Currently available high-resolution operational guidance is limited with respect to the forecasting period and/or spatial detail it can provide. As a consequence, many public utilities support their own NWP systems, primarily WRF-based, with initial conditions and boundary forcings supplied by operational global models such as the GFS. This study demonstrates pairing Google’s artificial intelligence (AI)-based GraphCast (GC) model, which operates on a 0.25° grid and produces global forecasts every 6 h, with a “last mile” WRF (WRF-LM) downscaling framework to refine GC’s spatial and temporal resolution for utility forecasting needs. We illustrate the potential of this system through a case study involving the December 2021 Marshall Fire windstorm in the Boulder, Colorado, area. Our results suggest that GC-initialized WRF forecasts are competitive with those guided by NCEP and ECMWF operational products, offering a promising hybrid approach for utility weather forecasting.

Significance Statement
Downslope windstorms are difficult to forecast with small errors potentially affecting the timing, magnitude, and location of concerning winds. Due to the elevated wildfire danger caused by these windstorms, accurate forecasts with lead times greater than 48 h are often needed to allow utilities time to prepare for the de-energization of transmission lines to reduce ignition risk. This paper examines methods of downscaling coarse synoptic-scale forecasts using the downslope windstorm associated with the 2021 Marshall Fire as our case study. A novel aspect of this work is the incorporation of machine learning weather prediction models and downscaling their forecasts using a high-resolution numerical model.

Authors: Chien Kaitlyn , Liu Honglei , Suriany Silvie , Detterich Jon A. 
Published: December 2024

Background Red blood cell aggregation is largely influenced by hematocrit and plasma protein content with aggregation increasing as hematocrit and fibrinogen increase. Aggregation measurement techniques include light-transmission or laser-backscatter, and the impact of measurement technique on aggregation measurements with respect to changes in hematocrit and plasma protein is not well understood. Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate aggregation measurement techniques with respect to common effectors of red blood cell aggregation. Methods We obtained whole blood samples from 10 healthy participants and varied hematocrit, plasma albumin, and plasma fibrinogen concentration in a sample of healthy male and female participants. We then measured red blood cell aggregation using a Myrenne Aggregometer (light-transmission aggregometer) and a Laser Optical Rotational Red Cell Analyzer (laser-backscatter aggregometer). Results For Myrenne, aggregation increased from 30% to 40% hematocrit, then declined at 50% hematocrit. Measurement in the LORRCA demonstrated an increase as hematocrit increased from 30% to 40%, and again increased at 50%, which differed from the light transmission method. Red blood cell aggregation increased with increased fibrinogen concentration, but did not change significantly as albumin concentration increased. Conclusions Red blood cell aggregation is expected to increase as hematocrit increases, but when light transmission aggregometry is used, aggregation decreases as hematocrit increases past 40%. Each measurement technique has its own set of methodological strengths and weaknesses.

Published: December 2024

Background: To date, most large surveys on the mental health of children under 11 years old have relied exclusively on data collected from parents and teachers, with no information from children themselves. However, these children are valuable informants despite their young age. Objective: To evaluate the effects of adding young children’s self-evaluation of internalizing disorders to a combined teacher/parent-based algorithm using data from a European survey carried out in Italy, Bulgaria, and in the Netherlands. Method: Comparing concordances with the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA; considered as the gold standard) of a Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire’s (SDQ) parent/teacher-based predictive algorithm, with and without integrating a child self-evaluation. The child self-evaluation was using the Dominic Interactive (DI), a computerized, pictorial, self-administered questionnaire for young children, which followed DSM 5 diagnoses definitions for internalized disorders. The concordance comparisons concerned 238 children, 5 to 12 years old from out-patient clinics, double evaluated, using kappa concordance test . Subsequent variations in disorder prevalence were evaluated in cross-sectional surveys in the general populations of the three study countries ( n = 3,442). Results: Adding self-evaluated child DI-based ‘probable’ internalizing disorder diagnoses to the SDQ parent/teacher algorithm increased concordance with gold standard: kappa increased from .25 (.14–.37) to .36 (.23–.49). In terms of population-based data, this addition increased the prevalence of ‘probable’ emotional disorders from 2.00 % (1.56–2.53) to 3.63 % (3.03–4.31) and revealed an expected gender difference. Conclusion: The inclusion of young children’s self-reported data on internalizing disorders is a valuable addition to the generally used combined parent/teacher-based SDQ algorithm, and therefore better reflects the true prevalence of these disorders in these children. Further evaluation on larger validation samples is required.

Background Organizational development is necessary for maintaining and promoting a positive work environment. Objective We present a unique organizational development project emphasizing understanding and applying industrial-organizational psychology concepts to resolve workplace issues and motivate organizational improvement. Method The design of the organizational development project follows both project- and problem-based learning methods. As such, the organizational development project asked students in an industrial-organizational psychology course to critically examine multifaceted workplace problems and provide evidence-based solutions. Results Students reported that the organizational development project helped them meet course learning objectives and stimulated skill development in important areas like problem-solving, professional communication, and consideration of diverse ideas. Conclusion The content and skill development associated with the organizational development project can contribute to students’ personal and professional success. Teaching Implications Instructors can use this project to foster students’ comprehension of organizational development. The opportunity to practice analyzing complicated organizational situations can enhance skill development and workforce readiness. As a result, students may be better prepared to understand how industrial-organizational principles can contribute to productive, inclusive, safe, and meaningful organizational climates.
The role of health librarians in combating misinformation: Evidence from the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Borji Samira , Panahi Sirous , Razmgir Maryam 
Published: December 2024

Introduction The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in numerous human and financial losses. During this period, a great deal of information about the disease was disseminated; resulting in the emergence of a high volume of misinformation, which posed a threat to public health. Many organizations and healthcare professionals, including health librarians, were involved in managing misinformation. The present study aimed to investigate the role of health librarians in combating misinformation. Methodology This study employed a qualitative research method using a content analysis approach in 2022. The data collection method was semi-structured interviews, and sampling was done purposively. A total of 25 library professionals participated in the interviews including health librarians, library science academic staff, and library managers. The data were collected through mobile phones and face-to-face interactions and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results The results showed that “lack of reliable information” and “lots of gossip” are the main reasons for spreading misinformation. Medical librarians were recognized as key players in combating health misinformation. The study led to the identification of 4 roles for health librarians that significantly influence managing misinformation. These roles were “educational role”, “evaluation role”, “information counseling role”, and “research role”. The “educational role” was the most frequent role revealed. Conclusion It is recommended to establish secure channels for sharing accurate information. Moreover, systematically documenting libraries’ experiences and lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic or similar crises is essential for improving their preparedness for any future crisis.

Objective This study compared the clinical efficacy of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the treatment of left main coronary artery and/or triple-vessel disease (LM and/or TVD). Methods We retrospectively enrolled 1484 consecutive patients with LM and/or TVD in Shanxi Cardiovascular Hospital from January 2015 to December 2022 and divided them into the OPCAB group (n = 583) and the PCI group (with second-generation drug-eluting stents) (n = 901). Propensity score matching was used for 316 equally matched pairs of patients in the groups. The outcomes were all-cause and cardiac mortality, angina recurrence, and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, which comprised non-lethal myocardial infarction, stroke, and repeat revascularization. Results The mean follow-up was 3.93 years in the OPCAB group and 4.19 years in the PCI group. There were no significant differences in all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, or non-lethal myocardial infarction between the groups. The incidence of repeat revascularization and angina recurrence was higher in the PCI group than in the OPCAB group. However, the incidence of stroke was higher in the OPCAB group than in the PCI group. Conclusions OPCAB may be a favorable coronary revascularization strategy for LM and/or TVD.
