Article Synopsis
- UNESCO biosphere reserves aim to promote sustainable development by balancing biodiversity conservation and socio-economic growth, yet there's a need for deeper insight into their actual impacts on local economies.
- A systematic review analyzed 16 studies on biosphere reserves after screening 10,053 titles; findings indicate mixed effects on economic living standards and varying validity among studies.
- Most high-validity studies suggest positive relationships between local communities and governance after interventions, although some studies highlight potential for both conflict and benefits in socio-economic outcomes.
Homicide is considered a crime against the state rather than the covictims, which impacts criminal justice system (CJS) processes and can lead to secondary victimization. This review explores the experience of covictims (i.e.

- The UK loses millions of working days annually due to work-related health issues, costing billions; thus, Occupational Health (OH) services are essential for supporting affected workers.
- Traditional OH services rely on a limited number of qualified doctors and nurses, but the declining workforce in this area necessitates exploring multi-disciplinary approaches involving diverse healthcare professionals.
- This study aims to create an evidence and gap map (EGM) that assesses the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of multi-disciplinary OH interventions, searching for systematic reviews to better understand which approaches yield positive work-related outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to systematically review and map evidence regarding the best practices for prescribing statins and antihypertensive medications through an umbrella review and evidence and gap map (EGM).
- A comprehensive search of eight databases was conducted for relevant studies from 2010 to August 2022, focusing on adults aged 16 and older who were prescribed these medications.
- The results identified 80 systematic reviews, primarily emphasizing patient adherence to antihypertensive medication, but revealed significant gaps in high-quality evidence regarding specific interventions and prescribing practices.
Background: Studies have found that women with gynaecological conditions and symptoms do not feel listened to by primary care clinicians (PCCs). Less understood is whether PCCs perceive that there are challenges around listening to and interacting with this patient group.
Aim: To understand PCCs' perspectives on the challenges of listening to and interacting with women patients with gynaecological conditions and symptoms.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the decline in social connections between generations, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to increased loneliness among both young and older populations.
- The Public Health England prevention concordat aims to enhance mental health through evidence-based intergenerational interventions, particularly for children and young people as well as older adults.
- A systematic review was conducted using a 2022 evidence map to analyze the effects of these intergenerational interventions on the mental health and wellbeing of older individuals, highlighting areas needing further research.
Introduction: We conducted a systematic review of qualitative evidence to improve understanding of the processes and outcomes of redress and reconciliation following a life-changing event from the perspectives of individuals experiencing the event and their families.
Methods: We searched six bibliographic databases for primary qualitative evidence exploring the views of individuals who have experienced a life-changing event, and/or their family or carers, of redress or reconciliation processes. This was supplemented with targeted database searches, forward and backward citation chasing and searches of Google Scholar and relevant websites.
Objectives: We set out to map the quantitative and qualitative systematic review evidence available to inform the optimal prescribing of drugs that can cause dependency (benzodiazepines, opioids, non-benzodiazepine hypnotics, gabapentinoids and antidepressants). We also consider how this evidence can be used to inform decision-making in the patient care pathway for each type of medication.
Methods: Eight bibliographic databases were searched for the period 2010 to 2020.
This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows: identify available systematic reviews and randomised controlled trials on interventions targeting health or social needs of the people aged over 80; identify qualitative studies relating to the experiences of people aged over 80 of interventions that target their health or social needs; identify areas where systematic reviews are needed; identify gaps in evidence where further primary research is needed; assess equity considerations (using the PROGRESS plus criteria) in available systematic reviews, randomised trials and qualitative studies of identified interventions; assess gaps and evidence related to health equity.

- Animal-assisted interventions may provide emotional and social benefits for residents in long-term care facilities, beyond what is typically measured by standard outcome tools.
- A review of 34 studies revealed key themes related to resident wellbeing, including the importance of animals as companions, reminiscence, and sensory engagement, while also acknowledging the diverse impact on care staff.
- While many randomized trials were of low quality and showed negligible effects, there was some limited evidence suggesting positive outcomes in reducing loneliness, anxiety, and depression among residents through interaction with animals.
Flame retardants are chemical substances that are intended to mitigate fire safety risks posed by a range of goods including furniture, electronics, and building insulation. There are growing concerns about their effectiveness in ensuring fire safety and the potential harms they pose to human health and the environment. In response to these concerns, on 13 June 2022, a roundtable of experts was convened by the UKRI Six Clean Air Strategic Priorities Fund programme 7.

Article Synopsis
- The paper aims to systematically review the impact of marine protected areas (MPAs) on poverty reduction and economic/material living standards in Southeast Asian coastal communities.
- It highlights the need for understanding the socioeconomic effects of MPAs since they can sometimes lead to unexpected outcomes, not fulfilling their conservation and community well-being goals.
- The review will analyze existing literature using strict criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of marine site protections compared to areas without such interventions.
In this review of reviews, we overview the current global body of available evidence from structured reviews of epidemiological studies that explore human health outcomes associated with exposure to phthalates (chemical plasticisers commonly found in plastics). We found robust evidence for an association with lower semen quality, neurodevelopment and risk of childhood asthma, and moderate to robust evidence for impact on anogenital distance in boys. We identified moderate evidence for an association between phthalates/metabolites and low birthweight, endometriosis, decreased testosterone, ADHD, Type 2 diabetes and breast/uterine cancer.

Meta-ethnography of the purpose of meaningful occupation for people living with dementia.
Int J Older People Nurs
September 2021
Background: Guidance on provision of care for people with dementia states that occupation people find meaningful is essential for well-being; however, definitions of 'meaningful occupation' are often broad, with intrinsic meaning coming from within the person rather than the activity, leading to an inconsistent understanding of its purpose.
Objectives: This study aimed to create a conceptual framework depicting the types of meaning that are seen as stemming from occupation.
Method: Six electronic databases were searched (CINAHL, PubMed Central, PsycINFO, Embase, AMED, ASSIA) using a pre-specified search strategy to identify qualitative studies relating to meaningful occupation for people living with dementia.
