The Prevalence of Seizures in Brain Metastasis Patients on Anticonvulsant Prophylaxis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Brain metastasis (BM) prognosis is incredibly poor and is often associated with considerable morbidity. Seizures are commonly present in these patients, and their biopsychosocial impact can be dangerous. The use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) as primary prophylaxis remains controversial.

COVID-19 Vaccination Safety Profiles in Patients With Solid Tumour Cancers: A Systematic Review.

Vaccination has become an essential means of protection for solid tumour patients against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this systematic review, we sought to identify common safety profiles of the COVID-19 vaccine in patients with solid tumours. A search of Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane was conducted for studies in English full-text that reported side-effect data experienced by patients with cancer who were at least 12 years old with solid tumours or a recent history of solid tumours after receiving either one or multiple doses of the COVID-19 vaccination.

Brief action planning to facilitate the management of acute low back pain with radiculopathy and yellow flags: a case report.

Introduction: Brief action planning (BAP) is a collaborative tool to support patients' self-management goal setting and action planning. BAP facilitates patient self-reflection, and provides opportunity to establish goals of their own priority.

Case Presentation: A 55 year-old female with recentonset low back pain with L5 nerve root distribution, described severe pain in the low back and sharp pain and tingle-sensations down to her right foot.

Second language acquisition of American Sign Language influences co-speech gesture production.

Previous work indicates that 1) adults with native sign language experience produce more manual co-speech gestures than monolingual non-signers, and 2) one year of ASL instruction increases gesture production in adults, but not enough to differentiate them from non-signers. To elucidate these effects, we asked early ASL-English bilinguals, fluent late second language (L2) signers (≥ 10 years of experience signing), and monolingual non-signers to retell a story depicted in cartoon clips to a monolingual partner. Early and L2 signers produced manual gestures at higher rates compared to non-signers, particularly iconic gestures, and used a greater variety of handshapes.

Organizational Citizenship Behavior Predicts Quality, Creativity, and Efficiency Performance: The Roles of Occupational and Collective Efficacies.

Although numerous studies have shown that prosocial behavior impacts performance within organizations, the mechanisms that encourage or discourage these effects have rarely been explored. Two studies were conducted to shed light on the role of psychological beliefs on prosocial dynamics in predicting organizational performance. In Study 1, employees' beliefs in their inner job-related resources (Occupational Efficacy - OE) were examined as a predictor of OCB.
