A systematic review of procedural and sampling techniques for cryobiopsy in interstitial lung disease.

Background: Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is an alternative to surgical lung biopsy for histopathological evaluation of unclassifiable interstitial lung disease (ILD) or ILD diagnosed with low confidence. This meta-analysis synthesised current literature regarding cryobiopsy diagnostic performance and safety, focusing on procedural and sampling techniques.

Methods: Medline and Embase were searched on 11 April 2022.

Do health service waiting areas contribute to the health literacy of consumers? A scoping review.

Health service waiting areas commonly provide health information, resources and supports for consumers; however, the effect on health literacy and related outcomes remains unclear. This scoping review of the literature aimed to explore the use of waiting areas as a place to contribute to the health literacy and related outcomes of consumers attending health appointments. Articles were included if they focussed on health literacy or health literacy responsiveness (concept) in outpatient or primary care health service waiting areas (context) for adult consumers (population) and were published after 2010.

'No zone' approach to the management of stable penetrating neck injuries: a systematic review.

Background: Aim: to review outcomes of the 'no zone' approach to penetrating neck injuries (PNIs) with the advent of high-fidelity computed tomography-angiography (CT-A) in order to determine the most appropriate management for stable PNIs.

Design: Systematic review.

Population: Retrospective and prospective cohort studies of patients who sustained penetrating neck trauma, as defined by an injury which penetrates the platysma, and whose initial management involved CT-A evaluation.

Outcome Measurement Instruments for Provoked Vulvodynia: A Systematic Review.

Objective: The objective of this study was to detail the outcome measurement instruments used in randomized control trials and observational studies investigating therapeutic interventions for provoked vulvodynia.

Materials And Methods: We searched Ovid Medline, Embase, Emcare, and PyschINFO libraries from database inception through April 2017. We included randomized control trials and observational studies of provoked vulvodynia that used instruments to measure the outcome of therapeutic interventions.
