Covid-19 refereeing duration and impact in major medical journals
Authors: Kousha Kayvan , Thelwall Mike 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Two partly conflicting academic pressures from the seriousness of the Covid-19 pandemic are the need for faster peer review of Covid-19 health-related research and greater scrutiny of its findings. This paper investigates whether decreases in peer review durations for Covid-19 articles were universal across 97 major medical journals, as well as Nature, Science, and Cell. The results suggest that on average, Covid-19 articles submitted during 2020 were reviewed 1.7–2.1 times faster than non-Covid-19 articles submitted during 2017–2020. Nevertheless, while the review speed of Covid-19 research was particularly fast during the first 5 months (1.9–3.4 times faster) of the pandemic (January–May 2020), this speed advantage was no longer evident for articles submitted in November–December 2020. Faster peer review was also associated with higher citation impact for Covid-19 articles in the same journals, suggesting it did not usually compromise the scholarly impact of important Covid-19 research. Overall, then, it seems that core medical and general journals responded quickly but carefully to the pandemic, although the situation returned closer to normal within a year.
Recent Research in Syriac Studies and the Recurring Question of Identity
Authors: Durmaz Reyhan 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Identity Puzzles, Identity and Christian-Muslim Interaction, Redefining Christian Identity … These titles are only three examples of a growing corpus of scholarship that asks the question, “How did Syriac-speaking Christians in the Near East perceive and present their communities?” Some scholars approach this question from the angle of theological distinctions between Syriac Christian groups, while others look into the power structures and discursive negotiations between Christian and other communities in the Near East. As our understanding of Syriac communities in the pre-modern Near East is further nuanced, contemporary religious and national identities shape the scholarship in new ways. This article summarizes the major theories brought to bear on the study of “Syriac identity” in premodern and modern era in the past twenty years. By mapping the field, I aim to demonstrate how the academic study of identity in Syriac communities have been underpinned by the question of the so-called East-West divide.
Colonial Modernity and Diffusion of Power: Identity and Community Formation among Mappilas of Malabar
Authors: T.A Shameer 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
This paper explores colonial modernity and the knowledge system’s role in constituting community formation among the Mappilas of Malabar. Colonial modernity, such as the introduction of printing, made this transformation more advanced and communitarian in structure. It also discusses colonialism as a force to reshape and bring socio-cultural changes in Malabar during the time. It argues that the existence of a clearly defined community is not a predetermined social fact; it looks at how the Mappilas were represented in an analytical category. In Malabar, the press and literature have played an essential role in framing community consciousness among Mappila society. Print media has brought a revolution in the transmission of knowledge. This paper will encompass the coming of the printing press and the moulding of community consciousness among the Mappilas of Malabar. It discusses the discursive and non-discursive practices of the colonial state for constructing various identities in Malabar.
Puerto Ricans in Perspective: The Meaning of Migration to the Mainland
Authors: Fitzpatrick Joseph P. 
Published: January 2022

This article will first examine the unique characteristics of the Puerto Rican migration; secondly, it will study the process of assimilation particularly in relation to the search for identity which presents a number of special problems to the Puerto Ricans. It will analyze one of the special problems of identity which consists in a shift from an emphasis on culture to an emphasis on power as the basis for the establishment of a strong Puerto Rican community. Finally it will seek to interpret the experience of the Puerto Ricans as part of the human effort and suffering inevitably involved in the continuing creative achievement of New York City. In the historical perspective of the past migrations to the City it is reasonable to be optimistic about the present one. To strengthen this optimistic view, the creative, mobile elements among the Puerto Ricans must assume a greater role in the institutional structures and decision making processes of the mainland.
The Effects of the Westward Movement on California's Growth and Development, 1900–1920
Authors: Beach Frank L. 
Published: January 2022

Internal migration is a growing social phenomenon of today's America: a third of the United States population live in a different state from the one in which they have been born. This, however, has been a constant aspect of the American experience. The author of the present essay analyzes in an historical perspective the growth of California from 1900–1920 under the impact of the westward movement. The social, economic and political implications of the California development are the main features of this paper.
Individual and Combined Anatomic Risk Factors for the Development of an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture in Men: A Multiple Factor Analysis Case-Control Study

Published: January 2022

Background: No comparative studies have evaluated anatomic risk factors in a large cohort including both patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures and healthy participants. Purpose: To determine which anatomic parameters are independently associated with an ACL rupture and the diagnostic values of the individual and combined anatomic parameters. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 352 male patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction because of a primary ACL rupture and 350 age-, sex-, body mass index–, and side dominance–matched healthy participants were included. Measurements of 32 previously determined parameters and 7 calculations were performed. Between-group differences were calculated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were conducted for the individual and combined independently associated factors. Results: The mean age and body mass index of all participants were 29.9 ± 7.7 years and 27.2 ± 3.1, respectively. There were significant differences between the groups regarding the notch width (NW), notch shape index, anterior tibial slope, notch width index, NW–eminence width (NW:EW) ratio, notch height, axial lateral wall angle, medial intercondylar ridge thickness, alpha angle, medial tibial depth (MTD), lateral tibial slope (LTS), coronal tibial plateau width, eminence width index, tibial proximal anteroposterior distance (TPAP), lateral condylar anteroposterior distance (LCAP)/TPAP, ACL cross-sectional area, ACL volume, medial and lateral meniscal cartilage height, medial and lateral meniscal cartilage angle (MCA), and medial and lateral meniscal cartilage bone height. The NW:EW ratio (odds ratio [OR], 4.419; P = .017), MTD (OR, 8.617; P = .001), LTS (OR, 2.254; P = .011), LCAP/TPAP (OR, 2.782; P = .037), and medial MCA (OR, 1.318; P = .010) were independently associated with the development of an ACL rupture. Combining the independently associated factors revealed a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94% (area under the curve, 0.968). Conclusion: Patients with ACL ruptures could be distinguished from uninjured controls with high sensitivity and specificity via the combined use of the NW:EW ratio, MTD, LTS, LCAP/TPAP, and medial MCA. In clinical practice, these findings may contribute to the development of preventive strategies for ACL ruptures.

Background: The physical and mental health benefits of golf are well recognized, and as a moderate-intensity activity, it is an ideal sport for patients after joint arthroplasty. Purpose: To assess the rate and timing of returning to golf and the factors associated with these after hip, knee, or shoulder arthroplasty. Study Design: Meta-analysis; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A search of PubMed and Medline was performed in March 2021 in line with the 2009 PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. Search terms included sport, golf, and arthroplasty. The criterion for inclusion was any published research article studying return to golf after arthroplasty. Random-effects modeling was used to measure rates of returning to golf for each type of arthroplasty. Results: A total of 23 studies were included for review. All studies were retrospective in their methodology. The mean age of patients was 66.8 years (SD, 3.37). Four studies reported on hip arthroplasty, 6 on knee arthroplasty, and 13 on shoulder arthroplasty. Among 13 studies, the mean rate of returning to golf was 80% (95% CI, 70%-89.9%). Hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty had mean return rates of 90% (95% CI, 82%-98%), 70% (95% CI, 39%-100%), and 80% (95% CI, 68%-92%), respectively. Among 9 studies, the mean time to return to golf was 4.4 months (95% CI, 3.2-6). Change in handicap was reported in 8 studies (35%) with a mean change of −0.1 (95% CI, –2.4 to +2.2). There were no studies presenting factors associated with return to golf. Conclusion: This is the first meta-analysis of returning to golf after joint arthroplasty. The study reports a high rate of returning to golf, which was greatest after hip arthroplasty. However, the study highlights the paucity of prospective data on demographic, surgical, and golf-specific outcomes after arthroplasty. Future prospective studies are required to eliminate response bias and accurately capture golf and patient-specific outcomes.

Published: January 2022

Objective Cannabis legalization in many jurisdictions worldwide has raised concerns that such legislation might increase the burden of transient and persistent psychotic illnesses in society. Our study aimed to address this issue. Methods Drawing upon emergency department (ED) presentations aggregated across Alberta and Ontario, Canada records (April 1, 2015–December 31, 2019), we employed Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) models to assess associations between Canada's cannabis legalization (via the Cannabis Act implemented on October 17, 2018) and weekly ED presentation counts of the following ICD-10-CA-defined target series of cannabis-induced psychosis (F12.5; n = 5832) and schizophrenia and related conditions (“schizophrenia”; F20-F29; n = 211,661), as well as two comparison series of amphetamine-induced psychosis (F15.5; n = 10,829) and alcohol-induced psychosis (F10.5; n = 1,884). Results ED presentations for cannabis-induced psychosis doubled between April 2015 and December 2019. However, across all four SARIMA models, there was no evidence of significant step-function effects associated with cannabis legalization on post-legalization weekly ED counts of: (1) cannabis-induced psychosis [0.34 (95% CI −4.1; 4.8; P = 0.88)]; (2) schizophrenia [24.34 (95% CI −18.3; 67.0; P = 0.26)]; (3) alcohol-induced psychosis [0.61 (95% CI −0.6; 1.8; P = 0.31); or (4) amphetamine-induced psychosis [1.93 (95% CI −2.8; 6.7; P = 0.43)]. Conclusion Implementation of Canada's cannabis legalization framework was not associated with evidence of significant changes in cannabis-induced psychosis or schizophrenia ED presentations. Given the potentially idiosyncratic rollout of Canada's cannabis legalization, further research will be required to establish whether study results generalize to other settings.

Published: January 2022

Background Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) often present with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Conditions of compromised cardiovascular health such as atrial fibrillation (AFIB) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) may alter biomarker levels in a way that reflects worsening ESRD. This study profiled biomarkers and laboratory parameters of endothelium dysfunction in patients with ESRD, categorized by additional AFIB and PAD conditions. Methods Citrated blood samples were collected from 95 patients with ESRD. Biomarker levels were measured from plasma samples using sandwich ELISAs, including tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), D-dimer, and nitrotyrosine. Lab parameters, including BUN, calcium, creatinine, parathyroid hormone, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, ferritin, transferrin, and total iron capacity, and patient comorbidities were obtained from patient medical records. The comorbidities were determined through provider notes, and evidence of applicable testing. Results 14.89% of patients were found to have atrial fibrillation (n = 14), 30.85% of patients were found to have peripheral arterial disease (n = 29), and 6.38% of patients were found to have both peripheral arterial disease and atrial fibrillation (n = 6). When compared to patients with only ESRD, patients with ESRD and PAD showed elevated levels of D-Dimer (p = .0314) and nitrotyrosine (p = .0330). When compared to patients with only ESRD, patients with atrial fibrillation showed elevated levels of D-Dimer (p = .0372), nitrotyrosine (p = .0322), and tPA (p = .0198). Conclusion When compared to patients with just ESRD, patients with concomitant PAD had elevated levels of Nitrotyrosine and D-dimer; while patients with concomitant Afib had elevated levels of nitrotyrosine, D-dimer, as well as tPA.

Published: January 2022

Objective We conducted this scoping review to map and summarize scientific evidence on the role of clinical pharmacists in the palliative care of adults and elderly patients with cancer. Data Sources A literature search was performed in MEDLINE, PubMed Central, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and BVS/BIREME for studies published until November 22nd, 2020. Studies that reported work experiences adopted by clinical pharmacists in the palliative care of adults and elderly patients with cancer were included. Two independent authors performed study selection and data extraction. Any disagreements were resolved by discussion with the third and fourth authors. The pharmacist interventions identified in the included studies were described based on key domains in the DEPICT v.2. Data Summary A total of 586 records were identified, of which 14 studies fully met the eligibility criteria. Most of them were conducted in the United States of America (n  =  5) and Canada (n  =  5) and described the workplace of the pharmacist in clinic/ambulatory (n  =  10). Clinical pharmacists performed several activities and provided services, highlighting medication review (n  =  12), patient and caregivers education (n  =  12), medication histories and-or medication reconciliation (n  =  6). The pharmacist interventions were mostly conducted for patients/caregivers (n  =  13), by one-on-one contact (n  =  14), and by face-to-face (n  =  13). Pharmacists were responsible mainly for change or suggestion for change in therapy (n  =  12) and patient counselling (n  =  12). Pharmacist interventions were well accepted by the clinical team. Overall, studies showed that pharmacists, within an interdisciplinary team, had significant impacts on measured outcomes. Conclusions In recent years, there have been advances in the role of the pharmacist in palliative care of patients with cancer and there are great opportunities in this field. They play an important role in managing cancer pain and other symptoms, as well as resolving drug related problems. We encourage more research to be carried out to strengthen this field and to benefit patients with advanced cancer with higher quality of life.

Published: January 2022

Background and Objective The aim of the study is to evaluate the knowledge of community pharmacists on cancer and screening methods. Setting and Method This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study and was conducted between January-June 2020 in Istanbul/Turkey. a structured questionnaire was applied to pharmacists as online. The questionnaire was prepared by the researchers and consisted of 49 questions; basic information about cancer (15 items), signs and symptoms (11 items), causes and risk factors (14 items), cancer screening methods (9 items). Results It was determined that the majority (>90%) of the pharmacists did not receive any education on cancer and/or cancer screening methods after graduation. The sufficient knowledge level of the pharmacists about cancer basics, signs and symptoms, and risk factors were found to be as 80%, 77%, and 67%, respectively. The internal consistency level of the questionnaire was calculated (Cronbach's alpha = 0.814). The item “Every woman should perform breast self-examination and notify a health professional when there is a change in breast appearance or feeling,” was answered correctly by 98% of the pharmacists. It was determined that 71% of the pharmacists gave the correct answer to the item “Women aged 21–30 years should have a PAP smear every 3 years”. Conclusion According to the results of the study, while the rate of sufficient knowledge level on cancer was found to be low, knowledge on cancer screening was found to be sufficient. We think that pharmacists should receive training on cancer and screening methods and to follow the guidelines closely.
Healing Architecture in Healthcare: A Scoping Review
Authors: Simonsen Thorben , Sturge Jodi , Duff Cameron 
Published: January 2022

Objectives: The purpose of this scoping review is to identify evidence on how characteristics of healing architecture in clinical contexts impact clinical practice and patient experiences. Based on these insights, we advance a more practice-based approach to the study of how healing architectures work. Background: The notion of “healing architecture” has recently emerged in discussions of the spatial organization of healthcare settings, particularly in the Nordic countries. This scoping review summarizes findings from seven articles which specifically describe how patients and staff experience characteristics of healing architecture. Methods: This scoping review was conducted using the framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley. We referred to the decision tool developed by Pollock et al. to confirm that this approach was the most appropriate evidence synthesis type to identify characteristics related to healing architecture and practice. To ensure the rigor of this review, we referred to the methodological guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews. Results: There are two main findings of the review. First, there is no common or operative definition of healing architecture used in the selected articles. Secondly, there is limited knowledge of how healing architecture shapes clinical and patient outcomes. Conclusions: We conclude that further research is needed into how healing architectures make a difference in everyday clinical practices, both to better inform the development of evidence-based designs in the future and to further elaborate criteria to guide postoccupancy evaluations of purpose-built sites.

Published: January 2022

Objectives Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a promising tool to modulate brain plasticity, but the neural basis has been little addressed. The purpose was to investigate the effects of rTMS on resting-state brain activity in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods Seventeen patients with mild or moderate AD were enrolled and randomly divided into one of the two intervention groups: (1) real rTMS combined with cognitive training (real group, n = 9); (2) sham rTMS with cognitive training (sham group, n = 8). 10 Hz rTMS was used to stimulate the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and then the left lateral temporal lobe for 20 min each day for 4 weeks. Each patient underwent neuropsychological assessment and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) before and after treatment. The fractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (fALFF) of rsfMRI data in real group were: (1) compared to sham; (2) correlated with rTMS-induced cognitive alterations. Results Significantly increased fALFF in right cerebellum/declive, left lingual/cuneus and left cingulate gyrus, as well as decreased fALFF in left middle frontal gyrus were found after 10 Hz rTMS, but not after sham stimulation. Using these suprathreshold regions, we found that rTMS increased functional connectivity between the right cerebellum/declive and left precentral/postcentral gyrus. The fALFF increase in left lingual/cuneus and right cerebellum/declive was associated with significant improvement in cognitive function. Conclusions rTMS combined with cognitive training induced increased low frequency fluctuation neural oscillations and functional connectivity in brain regions subserving cognition, suggesting a possible neuronal mechanism of the beneficial effects of rTMS.

Published: January 2022

Objective Poor sleep and depression are common problems during pregnancy, but there has been little investigation into the association between them. This prospective study aims to examine the relationship between sleep quality and depression during pregnancy. Methods Pregnant women under 14 weeks’ gestation attending routine outpatient antenatal care in Singapore’s largest maternity hospital were recruited between 2012 and 2014. Women with multiple pregnancies and deemed at high risk of miscarriage were excluded. Six hundred and forty participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) at the three trimesters during pregnancy. Results Mean PSQI score was highest in the third visit, suggesting poorer quality sleep in the late third trimester compared to other trimesters. 15.6% of participants at each time point fulfilled the criteria for antenatal depression according to the EPDS cut-off score > 14. PSQI scores were significantly correlated with EPDS scores, and also prospectively predicted EPDS scores in all three trimesters. Conclusion Sleep quality in Singaporean pregnant women was poorest in the third trimester, and was associated with the development of depressive symptoms. With more than 1 in 10 women having antenatal depression, interventions targeting sleep quality might be particularly beneficial.
