Objective: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is one of the leading causes of chronic pain in pediatric patients. Treatment regimens, which are critical to symptom management, can be burdensome, involving medication with potentially aversive side effects and exercise that can cause joint pain. Thus, it is important to examine the barriers and facilitators to adherence in JIA. While systematic reviews exist for rheumatic disease in adults, there has not yet been a synthesis of the literature examining adherence in JIA.
Methods: PsychINFO, PubMed and MEDLINE databases were systematically searched to identify qualitative and quantitative empirical studies that investigate adherence for JIA. Keywords included: patient compliance OR adherence OR persistence; youth OR children OR juvenile OR pediatric OR teen OR child OR adolescent; and rheumatoid arthritis OR idiopathic arthritis OR arthritis. Articles were excluded from the review if they involved non-human or adult samples, were non-experimental (e.g., practice recommendations), were not peer-reviewed, or were not written in English. After abstract selection, 32 articles were included in the analyses.
Results: Adherence to exercise regimens was consistently lower than adherence to medication. Researchers relied heavily on self-report of adherence, which suggests a need for additional research with more objective measures of adherence. Across studies, psychological treatment was not included, so adherence to this treatment component in JIA remains understudied.
Conclusions: Results suggest that future research should target devising and evaluating interventions to improve adherence to exercise and perhaps psychological treatment.
Implications For Impact: To facilitate adherence in JIA, behavioral health providers should focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance between provider and child, fostering positive coping skills in parents and children, and monitoring the parent-child relationship.

Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been defined by the High-Level Expert Group on AI of the European Commission as "systems that display intelligent behaviour by analysing their environment and taking actions-with some degree of autonomy-to achieve specific goals." Artificial intelligence has the potential to support guideline planning, development and adaptation, reporting, implementation, impact evaluation, certification, and appraisal of recommendations, which we will refer to as "guideline enterprise." Considering this potential, as well as the lack of guidance for the use of AI in guidelines, the Guidelines International Network (GIN) proposes a set of principles for the development and use of AI tools or processes to support the health guideline enterprise.

Purpose: To develop a low-cost, high-performance, versatile, open-source console for low-field MRI applications that can integrate a multitude of different auxiliary sensors.
Methods: A new MR console was realized with four transmission and eight reception channels. The interface cards for signal transmission and reception are installed in PCI Express slots, allowing console integration in a commercial PC rack.

No updated data on people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Japan have been available since 2015, leaving a critical gap in understanding the current status of care and treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a nationwide evaluation of the second and third goals of the "90-90-90 target" defined by UNAIDS between 2016 and 2020. The study utilized data from approximately 360 core hospitals through structured questionnaires and the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups (NDB).

There has been an increased interest in standardized approaches to coding facial movement in mammals. Such approaches include Facial Action Coding Systems (FACS), where individuals are trained to identify discrete facial muscle movements that combine to create a facial configuration. Some studies have utilized FACS to analyze facial signaling, recording the quantity of morphologically distinct facial signals a species can generate.
