Completion Rates of Smart Technology Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) in Populations With a Higher Likelihood of Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Ecological Momentary Assessment using smartphone technology (smart EMA) has grown substantially over the last decade. However, little is known about the factors associated with completion rates in populations who have a higher likelihood of cognitive impairment. A systematic review of Smart EMA studies in populations who have a higher likelihood of cognitive impairment was carried out (PROSPERO; ref no CRD42022375829).

The effect of osteoclasts on epigenetic regulation by long non-coding RNAs in osteoblasts grown on titanium with nanotopography.

Titanium (Ti) implant osseointegration is regulated by the crosstalk among bone cells that are affected by epigenetic machinery, including the regulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Nanotopography Ti (Ti Nano) induces the differentiation of osteoblasts that are inhibited by osteoclasts through epigenetic mechanisms. Thus, we hypothesize that osteoclasts affect lncRNA expression in Ti Nano-cultivated osteoblasts.

Impact of and research priorities in early onset epilepsy: An investigation of parental concerns.

[Background and aim] Early onset epilepsy is a neurological condition with significant developmental consequences, and presents affected children and families with challenges which pervade many aspects of family life. Whilst the concerns of parents and the impact on quality of life is well documented in qualitative research, little emphasis has been placed on the context of 'early onset', and the implications of these concerns for research priority setting. We aimed to explore parental perspectives regarding concerns and the impact of early onset epilepsy on the child and family, and to identify priorities for future paediatric epilepsy research.
