Prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences in Child Population Samples: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Importance: Exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) before the age of 18 years is a major contributor to the global burden of disease and disability.

Objective: To meta-analyze data from samples with children 18 years or younger to estimate the average prevalence of ACEs, identify characteristics and contexts associated with higher or lower ACE exposure, and explore methodological factors that might influence these prevalence estimates.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Studies that were published between January 1, 1998 and February 19, 2024, were sourced from MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINHAL, and Embase.

Embracing innovation and advancing care: integrating learning health system principles into Inova Schar Heart and Vascular.

Inova Schar Heart and Vascular has an unwavering commitment to delivering excellent cardiovascular care and has integrated principles of a learning health care system to develop our system of continuous process improvement and innovation. A learning health system integrates its internal experiences with external research to enhance patient outcomes, support the discovery of new treatments and care pathways, and deliver safer, more efficient, and more personalized care. Leveraging learning across health systems maximizes the impact, allowing cardiovascular teams to gain insights into the effectiveness of different treatment strategies.

Perceived Parental Distraction by Technology and Mental Health Among Emerging Adolescents.

Importance: The digital phenomenon termed technoference refers to interruptions in routine social interactions due to technology use. Technoference may negatively affect parents' attention to cues necessary for supporting children's mental health.

Objective: To explore whether there are directional prospective associations between perceived parental technoference and emerging adolescents' mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, inattention, and hyperactivity).

Systematic literature review comparing clinical utility of heparin-bonded expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft with autologous saphenous vein graft for the management of below-the-knee peripheral arterial disease.

Background: This systematic literature review compares the clinical outcomes of heparin-bonded expanded polytetrafluoroethylene with autologous saphenous vein in the management of patients undergoing below-the-knee bypass to treat peripheral arterial disease.

Methods: An electronic literature search was conducted in MEDLINE and Embase to identify comparative studies in patients who underwent below-the-knee surgical bypass. Studies were screened at abstract and full text review using predefined inclusion criteria by two independent reviewers and critically appraised for risk of bias.
