Self-medication with Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS): a Systematic Review
Authors: Holborn Tayler J. , Page Robert , Schifano Fabrizio , Deluca Paolo 
Published: November 2023

AbstractCurrently, novel psychoactive substance (NPS) use presents a challenging issue for authorities. To effectively tackle the use of NPS, a deeper understanding of the motivations of those who use NPS is required. Evidence suggests that a subset of NPS users declare their use as ‘self-medicating’; however, there is a paucity of research in this area. The aim of this review is to provide an overview and synthesis of the research concerning self-medication with novel psychoactive substances (NPS). Seven databases (EMBASE, MEDLINE, APA PsychInfo, Global Health, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar) were searched using a search strategy compromising 600 + NPS terms, yielding 3563 articles, 24 of which met the search criteria. Two independent reviewers screened the articles and appraised the quality of the included studies. The results were synthesised using a narrative synthesis approach. We identified 22 NPS being used for self-medication. We found that (1) self-medication with NPS occurs mainly for anxiety, depression, and ADHD; (2) links between cluster headaches, the use of psychedelic NPS, and anxiety and novel benzodiazepines were evident; (3) novel benzodiazepine use by young individuals represents particular concern. There is a need for greater knowledge within healthcare professions concerning self-medication practices with NPS. Primary qualitative research is needed to address the underlying motivations behind this phenomenon.

Abstract
Purpose
To identify barriers and facilitators for implementing the Survivorship Passport (SurPass) v2.0 in six long-term follow-up (LTFU) care centres in Europe.

Methods
Stakeholders including childhood cancer survivors (CCSs), healthcare providers (HCPs), managers, information and technology (IT) specialists, and others, participated in six online Open Space meetings. Topics related to Care, Ethical, Legal, Social, Economic, and Information & IT-related aspects of implementing SurPass were evaluated.

Results
The study identified 115 barriers and 159 facilitators. The main barriers included the lack of standardised LTFU care in centres and network cooperation, uncertainty about SurPass accessibility, and uncertainty about how to integrate SurPass into electronic health information systems. The main facilitators included standardised and coordinated LTFU care in centres, allowing CCSs to conceal sensitive information in SurPass and (semi)automatic data transfer and filing.

Conclusions
Key barriers to SurPass implementation were identified in the areas of care, ethical considerations, and information & IT. To address these barriers and facilitate the implementation on SurPass, we have formulated 27 recommendations. Key recommendations include using the internationally developed protocols and guidelines to implement LTFU care, making clear decisions about which parties have access to SurPass data in accordance with CCSs, and facilitating (semi)automated data transfer and filing using Health Level 7 (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR).

Implications for Cancer Survivors
The findings of this study can help to implement SurPass and to ensure that cancer survivors receive high-quality LTFU care with access to the necessary information to manage their health effectively.
Cardiovascular Disease in Anti-neutrophil Cytoplasm Antibody-Associated Vasculitis
Authors: Sayer Matthew , Chapman Gavin B. , Thomas Matthew , Dhaun Neeraj 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare, multisystem, autoimmune disease characterised by microvascular inflammation. Over the past 20 years, advances in immunological management have improved short-term patient outcomes. Longer-term patient outcomes remain poor with cardiovascular disease now the leading cause of death in AAV. Here, we examine the potential pathways that contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in AAV and the current evidence to manage this risk.

Recent Findings
The incidence of cardiovascular disease in AAV exceeds that expected by traditional risk factors alone, suggesting a contribution from disease-specific factors. Similarly, it is unclear how different immunosuppressive therapies contribute to and modify cardiovascular risk, and there is a paucity of data examining the efficacy of traditional cardioprotective medications in AAV.

Summary
There is a lack of evidence-based cardiovascular risk assessment tools and cardioprotective therapies in patients with AAV which should be addressed to improve long-term outcomes.
Afghan Women Refugees Enduring Domestic Violence Despite Finding Sanctuary in the UK
Authors: Azizi Fatemeh , Lane Pauline , Boyce Melanie 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis article examines the settlement experiences of Afghan women refugees following their migration into the UK. The findings highlight how violence and oppression depicted many of the women’s experiences prior to seeking asylum. This was found to persist when the women gained asylum in the UK, as many continued to face severe and enduring violence within their family, from both men and other women, as traditional patriarchal values involving physical and psychological violence remained. However, the findings indicated that violence within the home was less prevalent among women from the Hazara ethnic group who held a higher educational background. The research was designed within an interpretivist paradigm of inquiry, and qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted in Dari and English languages, with 15 Afghan refugee women, based at a London refugee centre. The resulting data was analysed using thematic analysis. Reflecting the findings of a number of international reports on women’s status in Afghanistan, the findings highlighted their experiences of violence and oppression in their home country prior to seeking asylum. The article concludes with an emphasis on practitioners recognising the potential risks of violence and abuse female Afghan refugees face within their own homes.
Tracking digestible and non-digestible cell wall components during protein concentrate production from grass-clover and alfalfa

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Green biomass from leguminous and gramineous forage crops, such as alfalfa and grass-clover, has been proposed as a potential new source of feed protein concentrates for non-ruminant livestock. However, the efficient separation of the protein fraction from the non-digestible cell components, primarily comprising cell walls (fiber) and starch, presents a significant technological challenge. Moreover, it is crucial to optimize the process to preserve the optimal nutritional value of the final product. This study comprehensively analyzed the non-digestible fiber content and composition across all biorefinery fractions using two different feedstocks: green biomass from alfalfa and grass-clover. The pilot scale refining process involved a combination of screw pressing, lactic acid fermentation, and protein separation via centrifugation. We observed variations in carbohydrate composition and abundance between alfalfa and grass-clover. The lactic acid fermentation led to a reduction in cellulose and total glucose content. Our findings indicate that the final protein concentrate still contains residual cell wall components, including lignin, indicating potential inefficiencies in the filtration, fermentation, and isolation steps. The presented analytical approach provides a valuable framework for optimizing processing conditions and tailoring enzyme cocktails for enhanced valorization of the by-products.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background
Falls represent a critical concern in Parkinson’s disease (PD), contributing to increased morbidity and reduced quality of life.

Purpose
We conducted a systematic review to assess the prognostic factors associated with falls in PD, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of relevant demographic and clinical parameters, and aid neurologists in identifying subsets of PD patients most susceptible to falls and associated injuries.

Methods
PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched for prospective studies assessing factors associated with falls in ambulatory PD patients across different settings, from inception to August 2023. Data extraction was conducted using CHARMS-PF checklist and risk of bias was assessed with QUIPS tool. PRISMA guidelines were followed.

Results
The initial search yielded 155 references. Thirty-four studies, involving a total of 3454 PD patients, were included in the final analysis. The mean pooled age was 67.6 years, and 45.1% were women. PD patients presented mild motor impairment (UPDRS III score 27.8) with mean pooled disease duration of 5.7 years. Gait and balance disorders and history of prior falls emerged as the most consistent predictors of falls across studies. Disease duration, disease severity, dysautonomic symptoms, freezing of gait, frontal cognitive functions, and PD medication dosages yielded inconsistent findings. Conversely, dyskinesias, age, sex, and depression were unrelated to future falls in PD. Logistic regression models were most commonly employed to identify factors significantly associated with falls in PD. Substantial heterogeneity prevailed in the inclusion of confounding factors.

Conclusion
The evidence suggests that previous history of falls, gait disorders, and poor balance are robust prognostic markers for falls in PD.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Examine preadmission diagnoses, medication use, and preadmission healthcare utilization among older adults prior to first potentially avoidable hospitalizations.

Methods
A nationwide population-based case–control study using Danish healthcare data. All Danish adults aged ≥ 65 years who had a first potentially avoidable hospitalization from January 1995 through March 2019 (n = 725,939) were defined as cases, and 1:1 age- and sex-matched general population controls (n = 725,939). Preadmission morbidity and healthcare utilization were assessed based on a complete hospital diagnosis history within 10 years prior, and all medication use and healthcare contacts 1 year prior. Using log-binomial regression, we calculated adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results
Included cases and controls had a median age of 78 years and 59% were female. The burden of preadmission morbidity was higher among cases than controls. The strongest associations were observed for preadmission chronic lung disease (PR 3.8, CI 3.7–3.8), alcohol-related disease (PR 3.1, CI 3.0–3.2), chronic kidney disease (PR 2.4, CI 2.4–2.5), psychiatric disease (PR 2.2, CI 2.2–2.3), heart failure (PR 2.2, CI 2.2–2.3), and previous hospital contacts with infections (PR 2.2, CI 2.2–2.3). A high and accelerating number of healthcare contacts was observed during the months preceding the potentially avoidable hospitalization (having over 5 GP contacts 1 month prior, PR 3.0, CI 3.0–3.0).

Conclusion
A high number of healthcare contacts and preadmission morbidity and medication use, especially chronic lung, heart, and kidney disease, alcohol-related or psychiatric disease including dementia, and previous infections are strongly associated with potentially avoidable hospitalizations.

Authors: Sivadas Aparna , John Sunil Jacob 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis paper aims to develop distance and similarity measures for (p, q)-fuzzy sets from t-norms and t-conorms. It showcases a way to generate these measures from a given t-norm or a t-conorm operator. These newly developed distance and similarity measures have applications in various domains, including problems in pattern recognition. The article provides a comparison between the proposed measures and the existing measures for Fermatean fuzzy sets. Additionally, it illustrates a numerical example to showcase the practical application of the proposed distance measures in diagnosing common lung diseases.
Importance of the human factor in user satisfaction with local government office counter services: on-site survey of Higashihiroshima city hall users
Authors: Moteki Yasutoshi 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis study empirically investigates the major factors determining user satisfaction with counter services at local government offices in Japan. Data were collected via on-site surveys on user satisfaction with the local government office counter services using an original three-category questionnaire scale tailored to fit local administration characteristics in Japan. A total of 1000 questionnaires were distributed at the city hall during August 23–26, 2021; a total of 537 valid responses were received (response rate: 53.7%). Regression analysis indicated that the independent variables of category C (service delivery) were the most influential, followed by the B (human-related factors) and A (office hardware) categories (adjusted R2 value: 0.58). Results showed that the human factor is a key factor in counter service in terms of user satisfaction. The human factor was found to be a statistically significant explanatory variable in two on-site surveys at Higashihiroshima City and Internet surveys of ward office users in Osaka City and the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. These findings align with the conclusions of implementation research, which first emerged in the 1970s. For instance, street-level bureaucracy research has highlighted the importance of frontline administrative officials. For service delivery (C), identified as the most important factor, promptness of service delivery and a short waiting time do not necessarily affect user satisfaction positively. Moreover, this study identified two important factors for the counter-staff responses and human-related factors category: (1) speed with which the attending counter clerk speaks and (2) atmosphere and kindness of the attending counter clerk.
Manufacturing Operations Scheduling Based in a Multidimensional Sustainable Manufacturing Index (SMIik)
Authors: Urzola Juan Angel Chica 
Published: November 2023

AbstractMany essential human needs can only be satisfied through goods and services provided by industry. The products of industry form the material basis of contemporary living standards. All nations rightly require and aspire to efficient industrial bases to satisfy changing needs (Brundtland in U N Comm 4:300 [1]). This aspiration has led nations into a race for industrialization, and this race, as well recognized by the Bruntland Report (Our Common Future, 1987), requires the permanent use of raw materials, constant increases in productivity, and generation of material goods in large quantities which have imposed a very high economic cost, as well as a heavy burden of environmental impacts (Brundtland in U N Comm 4:300 [1]). This document presents a production scheduling proposal for a manufacturing system, based on the maximization of the sustainable manufacturing index (SMIik) of each of the products to be manufactured. This model manages to develop a utility function that integrates the main dimensions that make up sustainable business development, offering a broader criterion than just economic utility as an element for making the production decision of a manufacturing system. Furthermore, it restricts this function to product demand and the capacity of the production system. In addition, it determines the existing correlation between the sustainable development (SD) dimensions, leading to the decision taken to seek a favorable correlation between them. This model makes it possible to obtain a production sequence oriented to the prioritization of those products that offer a greater contribution to business sustainability, offering, to decision-maker, a novel and synergic option to production scheduling.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Purpose
This paper is focused on the role of ChatGPT an artificial intelligence (AI) language model in the area of sports trauma. Sports trauma represents some significant concerns due to its prevalence and impacts. The objective of this study is to present an overview of the literature on how ChatGPT handles information about sports trauma, considering both its strengths and limitations.

Methods
A review method is used in this study. Well-known online databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer and Google Scholar were searched for the relevant studies. In addition, ChatGPT application was accessed to provide the concise information on the research topic.

Results
Search strategy resulted in 30 articles on the topic. Among them only seven studies revealed the potential applications of ChatGPT in sports. The other five studies presented the current status on ChatGPT and sports trauma. The results show that ChatGPT generates information on several types of sports trauma that align with the published literature. However, some limitations of ChatGPT are identified such as its tendency to provide general information about sprains and lack of updated statistics on sports trauma. This study also identified some serious concerns such ethical considerations, data privacy and security regarding the ChatGPT application in sports industry.

Conclusion
Despite having some limitations, the ChatGPT application has potential to be used in healthcare, and particularly in sports trauma. The implications of this study guide scholars for the development of enhanced AI systems, which are tailored to redress the challenges of sports trauma.
Relationship Between Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Count Ratio and Acute Kidney Injury Following Surgery of Stanford Type A Aorta Dissection
Authors: Ding Xiaoyan , Chen Yuanxiang , Zheng Xiao’e , Zeng Lijuan , Zhou Xiaofen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the hematological index of platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) following surgery of Stanford acute type A aorta dissection (ATAAD).

Methods
We analyzed the perioperative data of patients with ATAAD who were treated surgically in Fujian Provincial Hospital from December 2016 to December 2021.

Results
Patients were divided into AKI (n = 66) and non-AKI (n = 36) groups based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). There was no difference in preoperative PLR values (T0 PLR). In addition, the PLR within 24 h (T1 PLR) following surgery was higher in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group (P = 0.001). Reintubation rates, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and 30-day mortality were significantly different in the AKI group (P = 0.004, P = 0.002 and P = 0.002). Multivariate analyses showed that higher body mass index (BMI) and reduced T1 PLR were the risk factors for postoperative AKI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the decline in the cut-off level of T1 PLR predicted AKI:144.6, the area under the curve (AUC):[95%CI] 0.7146, 0.6112–0.8181, and P = 0.0004, with a sensitivity of 58.33% and a specificity of 77.27%.

Conclusions
This retrospective study demonstrated that a decreased T1 PLR after surgery is a risk factor for the occurrence of postoperative AKI in ATAAD patients and has possible predictive value for AKI.

AbstractBackgroundPatients with a first episode of psychosis (FEP) display clinical, cognitive, and structural brain abnormalities at illness onset. Ventricular enlargement has been identified in schizophrenia since the initial development of neuroimaging techniques. Obstetric abnormalities have been associated with an increased risk of developing psychosis but also with cognitive impairment and brain structure abnormalities. Difficulties during delivery are associated with a higher risk of birth asphyxia leading to brain structural abnormalities, such as ventriculomegaly, which has been related to cognitive disturbances.MethodsWe examined differences in ventricular size between 142 FEP patients and 123 healthy control participants using magnetic resonance imaging. Obstetric complications were evaluated using the Lewis–Murray scale. We examined the impact of obstetric difficulties during delivery on ventricle size as well as the possible relationship between ventricle size and cognitive impairment in both groups.ResultsFEP patients displayed significantly larger third ventricle size compared with healthy controls. Third ventricle enlargement was associated with diagnosis (higher volume in patients), with difficulties during delivery (higher volume in subjects with difficulties), and was highest in patients with difficulties during delivery. Verbal memory was significantly associated with third ventricle to brain ratio.ConclusionsOur results suggest that difficulties during delivery might be significant contributors to the ventricular enlargement historically described in schizophrenia. Thus, obstetric complications may contribute to the development of psychosis through changes in brain architecture.
