Exploring the contribution of cancer palliative care development toward alleviating the human crisis of suffering in low- and middle-income countries: A framework synthesis protocol.

Objectives: Inadequate access to cancer care, high mortality, and out-of-pocket expenditure contribute to health-related suffering in low- and middle-income countries, making palliative care a relevant option. How palliative care development has alleviated suffering is not systematically studied, necessitating this review's conduct. The objective of this systematic review with a framework synthesis approach is to identify and map the dimensions and indicators of cancer palliative care development and the components of integration between cancer and palliative care in LMICs.

Assessing palliative care practices in intensive care units and interpreting them using the lens of appropriate care concepts. An umbrella review.

Purpose: Intensive care units (ICUs) have significant palliative care needs but lack a reliable care framework. This umbrella review addresses them by synthesising palliative care practices provided at end-of-life to critically ill patients and their families before, during, and after ICU admission.

Methods: Seven databases were systematically searched for systematic reviews, and the umbrella review was conducted according to the guidelines laid out by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI).

Palliative and end-of-life care practices for critically ill patients and their families in a peri-intensive care setting: A protocol for an umbrella review.

Objectives: This umbrella review will summarize palliative and end-of-life care practices in peri-intensive care settings by reviewing systematic reviews in intensive care unit (ICU) settings. Evidence suggests that integrating palliative care into ICU management, initiating conversations about care goals, and providing psychological and emotional support can significantly enhance patient and family outcomes.

Methods: The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for umbrella reviews will be followed.

Impact of Whole-Genome Sequencing of on Treatment Outcomes for MDR-TB/XDR-TB: A Systematic Review.

Unlabelled: The emergence and persistence of drug-resistant tuberculosis is a major threat to global public health. Our objective was to assess the applicability of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to detect genomic markers of drug resistance and explore their association with treatment outcomes for multidrug-resistant/extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/XDR-TB).

Methods: Five electronic databases were searched for studies published in English from the year 2000 onward.

A scoping review protocol on food handlers' knowledge, attitude, and practices towards food hygiene and safety in low and middle-income countries.

Background: Food safety and hygiene has emerged as the foremost cause of concern in recent time, especially post-pandemic and has changed the eating out behaviour of the consumers. Consumers often consider food safety and hygiene as one of the most prominent factors and hence it is important for food handlers to have adequate knowledge and the right attitude towards food safety and food hygiene. The review will summarise the evidence on food handlers' behaviours towards food safety and hygiene and associated factors that inhibit positive behaviour towards following food safety protocols and standards.

Effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions on well-being and work-related stress in the financial sector: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.

It mirrors counter effects on the wellness of employees, their mental well-being, and physical health. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) raise awareness and attention to the present moment experiences by adopting coping skills.

Cost of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment in India: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the foremost cause for mortality among women. The non-communicable disease imposes significant economic expenses to communities. Its economic impact includes both direct and indirect healthcare costs.

Factors Associated With Neonatal Pneumonia and its Mortality in India: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Neonatal pneumonia remains a significant contributor to infant mortality in India and responsible for increased prevalence of infant deaths globally.

Objective: To identify risk factors associated with neonatal pneumonia and its mortality in India.

Study Design: A systematic review was conducted including both analytic study designs and descriptive study designs, which reported a quantitative analysis of factors associated with all the three types of pneumonia among neonates.

A mixed-methods systematic review on barriers to exclusive breastfeeding.

Introduction: The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for every newborn during the first 6 months of life, yet women come across various challenges to continuing it.

Aim: This systematic review was intended to identify barriers to exclusive breastfeeding among mothers.

Methods: MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied health literature, ProQuest, Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched from January 1990 to October 2017.
