In search of prosociality in rodents: A scoping review.

Studying prosociality in rodents can provide insight into brain mechanisms potentially related to neurodevelopmental disorders known to impact social behaviors (e.g., autism spectrum disorder).

Subjective cognitive decline and objective cognitive performance in older adults: A systematic review of longitudinal and cross-sectional studies.

Older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) have a higher risk of developing future cognitive decline than those without SCD. However, the association between SCD and objective cognitive performance remains unclear. This PRISMA 2020-compliant systematic review aims to provide a qualitative assessment of the longitudinal and cross-sectional relationship between SCD and objective cognitive performance in different cognitive domains, in neuropsychologically healthy, community-dwelling older adults (average age of 55 or older).

Kidney outcomes after methanol and ethylene glycol poisoning: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Ingestions with methanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and isopropanol are rare yet exceedingly dangerous conditions that may require emergent management with kidney replacement therapy. Little is known regarding short- and long-term kidney outcomes post-ingestion.

Objectives: To comprehensively synthesize existing evidence regarding short- and long-term kidney and other outcomes of adult patients following these poisonings.

The Impact of Patient and Family Engagement in Child Health Research: A Scoping Review.

Objective: To identify impacts of patient and family engagement in child health research on the research process, research teams, and patient and family partners.

Study Design: A scoping review was conducted using the MEDLINE, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases. English-language studies were included if they described ≥1 impact of patient and family engagement on child health research (age <18 years), researchers, or patient and family partners.

Scoping review of evidence for managing postnatal hypoglycaemia.

Objectives: To identify what is known empirically about the screening, treatment and harm of exposure to neonatal hypoglycaemia.

Design: Scoping review that applied a preregistered protocol based on established frameworks.

Data Sources: Medline and Embase, up to 12 May 2020.

Health workforce strategies in response to major health events: a rapid scoping review with lessons learned for the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic brought multiple concurrent threats-high patient volume and acuity and, simultaneously, increased risk to health workers. Healthcare managers and decision-makers needed to identify strategies to mitigate these adverse conditions. This paper reports on the health workforce strategies implemented in relation to past large-scale emergencies (including natural disasters, extreme weather events, and infectious disease outbreaks).

Neuropsychological Sequelae of Coronary Heart Disease in Women: A Systematic Review.

Heart disease, such as coronary heart disease (CHD), is the leading cause of death among aging women. However, over the past years, the mortality rate has declined, resulting in an increased number of CHD survivors. In this context, research has uncovered relationships between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the development of neurodegenerative diseases, suggesting that CHD can act as a precursor.

A systematic review of the Trier Social Stress Test methodology: Issues in promoting study comparison and replicable research.

Since its development in 1993, the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) has been used widely as a psychosocial stress paradigm to activate the sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA) stress systems, stimulating physiological functions (e.g. heart rate) and cortisol secretion.

A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating geriatric consultation on older trauma patients.

Background: Early involvement of geriatrics is recommended for older trauma patients.

Objective: This systematic review aimed to determine the impact of a geriatric assessment on mortality, hospital length of stay, discharge destination, and delirium incidence in patients 65 years and older admitted to a trauma center.

Methods: The protocol was developed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42019131870).

The Yield of Computed Tomography of the Head Among Patients Presenting With Syncope: A Systematic Review.

Background: Overuse of head computed tomography (CT) for syncope has been reported. However, there is no literature synthesis on this overuse. We undertook a systematic review to determine the use and yield of head CT and risk factors for serious intracranial conditions among syncope patients.

A systematic critical appraisal of non-pharmacological management of rheumatoid arthritis with Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II.

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have been developed to summarize evidence about the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and facilitate the uptake of evidence-based knowledge by consumers, health professionals, health administrators and policy makers. The objectives of this review was to assess the quality of CPGS on non-pharmacological management of RA with a standardized and validated instrument--the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) tool and summarize the key recommendations from these CPGs. Scientific literature databases from 2001 to 2013 were systematically searched and a total of 13 CPGs for RA was identified.

A systematic critical appraisal for non-pharmacological management of osteoarthritis using the appraisal of guidelines research and evaluation II instrument.

Clinical practice CPGs (CPGs) have been developed to summarize evidence related to the management of osteoarthritis (OA). CPGs facilitate uptake of evidence-based knowledge by consumers, health professionals, health administrators and policy makers. The objectives of the present review were: 1) to assess the quality of the CPGs on non-pharmacological management of OA; using a standardized and validated instrument--the Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) tool--by three pairs of trained appraisers; and 2) to summarize the recommendations based on only high-quality existing CPGs.
