Abstract
OBJECTIVES Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are musculoskeletal conditions with a multifactorial aetiology. The predictive role of direct orofacial macrotrauma in the development of TMD is considered controversial. This systematic review aims to elucidate the association between direct orofacial macrotrauma and TMD, and to identify potential factors involved in this relationship. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases up to November 1, 2023, was performed in collaboration with a medical information specialist, identifying 2,047 unique studies. Of these, 139 met the inclusion criteria of this investigation. RESULTS Our synthesis of the literature indicates a consistent association between TMD and direct orofacial macrotrauma in adults, while this relationship appears less defined in paediatric and adolescent populations. The association shows robustness across various TMD diagnoses and trauma locations, remaining not only immediately following the direct orofacial macrotrauma but also after long time, despite other interventions. These outcomes could be due to the physical effect of the trauma, but they might be associated with the psychosocial effect of the trauma as well. CONCLUSIONS The evidence supports a robust, but complex, association between direct orofacial macrotrauma and TMD. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This finding underscores the importance of considering both physical and psychosocial sequelae of trauma in the clinical management of direct orofacial macrotrauma and TMD.

Gramberg MCTT, Torensma B, van Asten S, Sieswerda E, Sabelis LWE, den Heijer M, de Vries R, de Groot V, Peters EJG. Duration of Antibiotic Treatment for Foot Osteomyelitis in People with Diabetes. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:1173. [PMID: 39766562 PMCID: PMC11672615 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13121173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2024] [Revised: 11/11/2024] [Accepted: 11/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/11/2025] Open
Abstract
Background: The optimal antimicrobial treatment duration for diabetes-related foot osteomyelitis (DFO) currently needs to be determined. We systematically reviewed the effects of short and long treatment durations on outcomes of DFO. Methods: We performed a systematic review searching Cochrane, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL Plus from inception up to 19 January 2024. Two independent reviewers screened the titles and abstracts of the studies. Studies comparing short (<6 weeks) and long (>6 weeks) treatment durations for DFO were included. The primary outcome was amputation; the secondary outcomes were remission, mortality, costs, quality of life, and adverse events. Risk of bias and GRADE were assessed. Results: We identified 2708 references, of which 2173 remained after removing duplicates. Two studies were included. Differences in methodology precluded a meta-analysis. The primary outcome, major amputation, was reported in one study, with a rate of 10% in both the intervention and comparison groups (p = 1.00), regardless of treatment duration. For the secondary outcome, remission rates, the first study reported 60% in the intervention group versus 70% in the comparison group (p = 0.50). In the second study, remission rates were 84% in the intervention group versus 78% in the comparison group (p = 0.55). Data for the outcomes mortality, costs, and quality of life were not available. Short treatment duration may lead to fewer adverse events. The risk of bias was assessed as low to moderate, and the level of evidence ranged from very low to moderate. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that for DFO, there is no difference between a shorter and more prolonged duration of antimicrobial treatment regarding amputation and remission, with potentially fewer adverse events with shorter treatment durations. However, the uncertainty stems from limited, heterogeneous studies and generally low-quality evidence marred by moderate biases, imprecision, and indirectness. More high-quality studies are needed to substantiate these findings.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NURSING STUDIES ADVANCES 2024; 7:100256. [PMID: 39717155 PMCID: PMC11665940 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnsa.2024.100256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 10/21/2024] [Indexed: 12/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background An early warning scoring system aims to detect clinical deterioration at an early stage and prevent failure-to-rescue in hospitalized patients. In this systematic review we studied the effect of an early warning scoring system on adverse outcome in surgical patients. Methods This review was conducted and reported according to PRISMA and the protocol of this review is registered at PROSPERO, under the registration number CRD42018107799. PubMed, Embase.com, CINAHL (Ebsco) and Wiley/Cochrane Library were searched from inception up to 20-06-2023 for randomized controlled trials and non-randomized studies of interventions. Studies were eligible for inclusion if the effect of an early warning scoring system using spot check monitoring was studied. Results Eight articles were included, of which two were randomised controlled trials. The overall risk of bias was high. A statistically significant decrease in mortality was seen in three studies. Two studies reported a decrease in cardiopulmonary arrests, and three studies found a decrease in ICU-admissions. There was heterogeneity among studies regarding the types of complications that were reported. Conclusions The evidence in favor of an early warning scoring system to reduce complications and mortality in surgical patients is low, mainly due to a limited number of studies and poor study design. Well-designed trials are needed to investigate whether an early warning scoring system improves outcome in surgical patients.

Association of computed tomography-derived body composition and complications after colorectal cancer surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2024; 15:2234-2269. [PMID: 39370740 PMCID: PMC11634520 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 10/08/2024] Open
Abstract
The prediction of the risk of developing complications after colorectal surgery for colorectal carcinoma remains imprecise. Body composition measurements on a computed tomography (CT) scan can potentially contribute to a better preoperative risk assessment. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the evidence for the use of body composition measurements on CT scans to predict short-term complications after colorectal cancer surgery. A literature search (in PubMed, Embase and Web of Science) was performed up to 1 August 2022. Two researchers independently screened the articles, extracted data and assessed the quality of the studies using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. The primary outcome measure was the occurrence of complications within 30 days after surgery. Meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model to synthesize a pooled odds ratio (OR). The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021281010). Forty-five articles with a total of 16 537 patients were included. In total, 26 body composition measures were investigated: 8 muscle-related measures, 11 adipose tissue measures, 4 combined muscle and adipose tissue measures, and 3 other measures. These were investigated as potential predictors for more than 50 differently defined postoperative complications. Meta-analysis was only possible for two measurements and showed that higher amounts of visceral fat increase the risk of developing overall complications (OR: 2.52 [1.58-4.00], P < 0.0001) and anastomotic leakage (OR: 1.76 [1.17-2.65], P = 0.006). A wide variety of body composition measurements on preoperative CT scans have been investigated as a predictive factor for postoperative complications. Visceral fat appeared to be associated with overall complications and anastomotic leakage; however, the association is weak, and its clinical relevance or applicability is questionable. The current evidence is limited by methodological heterogeneity and the risk of bias. To improve comparability of results across studies and improve decision-making, future studies should use standardized methods for measuring body composition on CT scans, outcome definitions and statistical analyses.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify differences in type 2 diabetes (T2D) complications between ethnic minority populations and European host populations, in both cross-sectional and prospective studies. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we searched multiple databases for studies (until July 1, 2024) with T2D complications as outcome. Studies were included if they compared ethnic minority populations to the host population and were conducted in Europe. T2D complications included mortality, macrovascular and microvascular complications and mental disorders. Risk of bias was assessed with the assessment tool for observational cohort and cross-sectional studies. Risk estimates were pooled using random effects models. From a total of 2901 references, 58 studies were included, comprising 805 to 1 230 410 individuals for the meta-analyzed complications. Compared with the host population, ethnic minority populations generally had a lower risk of all-cause mortality (RR 0.70 (95% CI 0.63; 0.77); I2=87%)) and macrovascular complications (RR 0.72 (95% CI 0.58; 0.88); I2=88%). South Asians, however, showed comparable risks for most macrovascular complications and a slighthly higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. Increased risks for microvascular complications, nephropathy and retinopathy were observed (eg, in prospective studies RR 1.50 (95% CI 1.14; 1.96); I2=86% for nephropathy). No ethnic differences were observed for mental disorders. Ethnic minority populations with T2D in Europe are generally at reduced risk of all-cause mortality and macrovascular complications, but at higher risk of nephropathy and retinopathy. Our findings may help to further identify high-risk populations and to develop guidelines and future interventions. PROSPERO registration number:PROSPERO 2022 CRD42022366854.

A myriad of methods to determine temporal summation of pain in people with musculoskeletal pain and healthy participants: a scoping review. Pain Rep 2024; 9:e1176. [PMID: 39239632 PMCID: PMC11377091 DOI: 10.1097/pr9.0000000000001176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Temporal summation of pain (TSP) is a human proxy for wind-up of dorsal horn neurons as assessed in animals. The common paradigm for eliciting TSP is evoked by repetitive nociceptive stimuli of equal intensity. Various stimulation and assessment protocols have been used. This scoping review aims to provide insight into key elements of TSP stimulation and assessment: modality, instruments, test location, familiarization, train characteristics, and calculations. PubMed, Embase, and Ebsco/CINAHL were searched for studies that measured TSP in adults with musculoskeletal conditions and healthy people. Four hundred six studies were included. Mechanical stimuli were the most commonly used modality (250 studies), followed by thermal stimuli (125 studies). Forty-six different instruments were used. Disregarding studies on widespread musculoskeletal pain and healthy participants, 40 studies evaluated TSP at painful sites, 77 in remote areas, and 66 in both locations. Of the 13 tested locations in patients, the hand (74 studies), lower leg (64 studies), and forearm (59 studies) were most commonly tested. A single practice round was the most common familiarization method (46 studies). Repeated stimuli were applied using 31 different frequencies (0.03-200 Hz) and sustained stimulations ranging from 5 to 1080 seconds were used. Twenty-two different train lengths, 63 different calculations (37 absolute, 19 relative, and 7 alternatives using data directly), and 14 different outcome measures (eg, self-reported pain rating scales and reflex thresholds) were used. Temporal summation of pain protocols vary excessively, hindering the comparison and pooling of results. None of the studies provided substantiation for their protocol choice.

Abstract
RATIONALE Cervical radiculopathy is initially typically managed conservatively. Surgery is indicated when conservative management fails or with severe/progressive neurological signs. Personalised multimodal physiotherapy could be a promising conservative strategy. However, aggregated evidence on the (cost-)effectiveness of personalised multimodal physiotherapy compared to surgery with/without post-operative physiotherapy is lacking. AIM/OBJECTIVES To systematically summarise the literature on the (cost-)effectiveness of personalised multimodal physiotherapy compared to surgery with or without post-operative physiotherapy in patients with cervical radiculopathy. METHODS PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Web of Science were searched from inception to 1st of March 2023. Primary outcomes were effectiveness regarding costs, arm pain intensity and disability. Neck pain intensity, perceived recovery, quality of life, neurological symptoms, range-of-motion, return-to-work, medication use, (re)surgeries and adverse events were considered secondary outcomes. Randomised clinical trials comparing personalised multimodal physiotherapy versus surgical approaches with/without post-operative physiotherapy were included. Two independent reviewers performed study selection, data-extraction, and risk of bias assessment using the Cochrane RoB 2 and Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards statement. Certainty of the evidence was determined using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations. RESULTS From 2109 records, eight papers from two original trials, with 117 participants in total were included. Low certainty evidence showed there were no significant differences on arm pain intensity and disability, except for the subscale 'heavy work' related disability (12 months) and disability at 5-8 years. Cost-effectiveness was not assessed. There was low certainty evidence that physiotherapy improved significantly less on neck pain intensity, sensory loss and perceived recovery compared to surgery with/without physiotherapy. Low certainty evidence showed there were no significant differences on numbness, range of motion, medication use, and quality of life. No adverse events were reported. CONCLUSION Considering the clinical importance of accurate management recommendations and the current low level of certainty, high-quality cost-effectiveness studies are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE This review aimed to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of dysgeusia after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). METHODS A literature search (in PubMed, Embase.com and Web of Science) for clinical studies evaluating taste before and after HCT was performed up to June 22, 2023, in collaboration with a medical information specialist. After title and abstract review (N = 807) followed by full-text review (N = 61), articles that met the inclusion criteria were summarized in a table and synthesized narratively. RESULTS 11 articles were analyzed in this review. All studies had a prospective design and patient populations included children (N = 3) and adults (N = 8) undergoing allogeneic or autologous HCT. Taste was assessed objectively (N = 6) and/or subjectively (N = 8) between baseline and 12 months after HCT. Before HCT, the self-reported (0-31%) and objective (2.4-10%) prevalence of dysgeusia was low. During the neutropenic phase, self-reported (20-100%) and objective (21.4%) dysgeusia was highest. In the post-engraftment period, the self-reported (18%) and objective (0-33%) prevalence of dysgeusia decreased. Different taste qualities were assessed in six studies including salt, sour, bitter, sweet, and umami. CONCLUSIONS Some patients undergoing HCT experience dysgeusia prior to treatment. During the neutropenic phase, they had highest complaints, with recovery occurring in the post-engraftment period. All basic tastes, except bitter, were affected. Umami and salt were most affected during treatment. These findings have implications for patient management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite optimal conservative and medical treatment, some children with functional constipation (FC) continue to experience symptoms. Antegrade continence enema (ACE) surgery has been suggested as the primary surgical option after less invasive pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions have not been effective. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the outcomes of ACE for children with FC. METHODS Electronic databases were searched (inception-March 2024) for studies evaluating ACE surgery performed in children with FC. The primary outcome was treatment success (as defined in the original manuscript), including at least defecation frequency and/or fecal incontinence frequency. Secondary outcomes were cessation of ACE, complications, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and patient/parent satisfaction. Quality of evidence was evaluated based on tools from the New-Ottawa Scale and Joanna Bridge Institute. RESULTS Thirteen studies were included, representing 477 children with FC treated with either an appendicostomy or a cecostomy. Reported treatment success rates varied widely, ranging from 32% to 100%. ACE treatment was stopped in 15% due to treatment success and in 8% due to treatment failure, leading to more invasive surgery. Complication rates ranged from 6% to 100%, requiring surgical intervention in 0% to 34%. An improvement in HRQoL following ACE treatment was reported in all three studies that assessed HRQoL. The two studies assessing patient/parent satisfaction, reported high satisfaction rates. CONCLUSION Reported treatment success and complication rates following ACE surgery for children with FC vary widely. This systematic review highlights the necessity for uniform definitions and treatment guidelines for ACE surgery in children with FC. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Research has indicated unique challenges in audiovisual integration of speech among autistic individuals, although methodological differences have led to divergent findings. We conducted a systematic literature search to identify studies that measured audiovisual speech integration among both autistic and non-autistic individuals. Across the 18 identified studies (combined N = 952), autistic individuals showed impaired audiovisual integration compared to their non-autistic peers (g = 0.69, 95 % CI [0.53, 0.85], p <.001). This difference was not found to be influenced by participants' mean ages, studies' sample sizes, risk-of-bias scores, or paradigms employed. However, a subgroup analysis suggested that child studies may show larger between-group differences than adult ones. The prevailing pattern of impaired audiovisual speech integration in autism may have cascading effects on communicative and social behavior. However, small samples and inconsistency in designs/analyses translated into considerable heterogeneity in findings and opacity regarding the influence of underlying unisensory and attentional factors. We recommend three key directions for future research: larger samples, more research with adults, and standardization of methodology and analytical approaches.

Abstract
Background Excessive iodine intake triggers the Wolff-Chaikoff effect resulting in downregulation of thyroid hormone synthesis to prevent hyperthyroidism. Failure to escape the Wolff-Chaikoff effect can be seen especially in (premature born) infants and may result in prolonged iodine induced hypothyroidism. We describe a rare case of a preterm infant who developed severe iodinated contrast induced hypothyroidism after the use and prolonged stasis of enteral iodinated contrast media (ICM). In addition a systematic literature search was performed to evaluate all available data on this complication. Methods A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed and Embase. Studies describing the effect of enteral ICM on thyroid function were considered eligible. The primary outcome was to determine the frequency of contrast induced hypothyroidism in infants after administration of enteral ICM. Results The premature infant in our center developed severe iodinated contrast induced hypothyroidism after enteral ICM. In total, only two studies met our eligibility data, reporting eight patients. Out of these eight patients, four premature infants developed a contrast induced hypothyroidism after enteral administration of ICM. Conclusion Data on severity, length and frequency of contrast induced hypothyroidism after exposure to enteral ICM is very scarce. The herein reported case and literature search illustrate the potential severity of the complication and underline the necessity of future studies on this topic. We recommend standardized monitoring of thyroid function after exposure to enteral ICM in newborns to prevent delayed diagnosis of severe contrast induced hypothyroidism until evidence based recommendations can be made.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder caused by abnormal collagen type I production. While OI is primarily characterized by bone fragility and deformities, patients also have extraskeletal manifestations, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on cardiovascular diseases in OI patients in order to raise awareness of this understudied clinical aspect of OI and support clinical guidelines. In accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus was conducted that included articles from the inception of these databases to April 2023. Valvular disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension appear to be more prevalent in OI than in control individuals. Moreover, a larger aortic root was observed in OI compared to controls. Various cardiovascular diseases appear to be more prevalent in OI than in controls. These cardiovascular abnormalities are observed in all types of OI and at all ages, including young children. As there are insufficient longitudinal studies, it is unknown whether these abnormalities are progressive in nature in OI patients. Based on these findings, we would recommend referring individuals with OI to a cardiologist with a low-threshold.

The first step in developing an International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Core Set for Vision Loss: A systematic review. Ophthalmic Physiol Opt 2024; 44:413-425. [PMID: 38251457 DOI: 10.1111/opo.13269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
AIM As a first step in developing an International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for adults with vision loss, this systematic review sought to identify the researchers' perspective by identifying the most often used outcome measures and research topics obtained from studies on adults with vision loss. METHODS PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, APA PsycINFO and Web of Science were searched for studies on vision loss. Meaningful outcome measures and research topics were linked to the ICF components: environmental factors, body functions, body structures and the Activities and Participation life domains. RESULTS After deduplication, 7219 records remained, of which 2328 articles were eligible for further review. For feasibility reasons, approximately 20% were randomly chosen from every publication year, resulting in 446 included articles. After full-text reading, 349 articles remained, describing 753 outcome measures based on questionnaires and 2771 additional research topics that could be linked to the ICF. Most were linked to the component Activities and Participation, with a focus on recreation and leisure activities (ICF code d920, 70%), reading (d166, 34%) and driving (d475, 27%). For the component body function, seeing functions (b210, 83%) were most often reported. Outcome measures and research topics were least often linked to the body structure component and environmental factors. CONCLUSION The broad range of ICF categories identified in this systematic review represents the variety of functioning typical for adults with vision loss. These results reflect the focus of researchers over the past 21 years by using various vision-related outcomes. In our next steps to develop the ICF Core Set for Vision Loss, we will include perspectives of experts and lived experience.

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Intractable Visceral Pain Originating from the Pelvic and Abdominal Region: A Narrative Review on a Possible New Indication for Patients with Therapy-Resistant Pain. J Pain Res 2024; 17:691-736. [PMID: 38405684 PMCID: PMC10887953 DOI: 10.2147/jpr.s445616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim Visceral pain, characterized by pain that is diffuse and challenging to localize, occurs frequently and is difficult to treat. In cases where the pain becomes intractable despite optimal medical management, it can affect patients' Quality of Life (QoL). Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) has emerged as a potential solution for intractable visceral pain. Purpose In this narrative review, we collected all evidence regarding the efficacy of SCS for visceral pain across various underlying conditions. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science in which articles published from October 1st, 1963 up to March 7th, 2023 were identified. Results Seventy articles were included in this review of which most were retrospective cohort studies, case series and case reports. The studies, often with a small number of participants, reported on SCS for chronic pancreatitis, anorectal pain and bowel disorders, gynaecological diagnoses, visceral pelvic pain, urological disorders and finally general visceral pain. They found positive effects on pain and/or symptom relief, opioid consumption, anxiety and depression and QoL. Complications occurred frequently but were often minor and reversible. Conclusion Better screening and selection criteria need to be established to optimally evaluate eligible patients who might benefit from SCS. A positive outcome of a sympathetic nerve block appears to be a potential indicator of SCS effectiveness. Additionally, women receiving SCS for endometriosis had a better outcome compared to other indications. Finally, SCS could also relief functional symptoms such as voiding problems and gastroparesis. Complications could often be resolved with revision surgery. Since SCS is expensive and not always covered by standard health insurance, the incorporation of cost-analyses is recommended. In order to establish a comprehensive treatment plan, including selection criteria for SCS, rigorous prospective, possibly randomized and controlled studies that are diagnosis-oriented, with substantial follow-up and adequate sample sizes, are needed.

EMDR treatment for people with intellectual disabilities: a systematic review about difficulties and adaptations. Front Psychiatry 2024; 14:1328310. [PMID: 38274435 PMCID: PMC10808451 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1328310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction People with intellectual disabilities (ID) are at increased risk for developing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Emerging evidence indicates that Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is feasible and potentially effective for this group. However, communication, cognition, stress regulation, and attachment difficulties may interfere with the EMDR process. Adaptation of the EMDR protocol seems therefore required for this population. Aim This review aims to systematically identify and categorize the difficulties in applying EMDR to people with ID and the adaptations made by therapists to overcome these challenges. Methods A literature search was performed in May 2023. Article selection was based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and quality appraisal. Results After screening, 13 articles remained for further review. The identified difficulties and adaptations were categorized into the three domains of adaptive functioning (i.e., conceptual, social, and practical functioning). Considerable difficulties in applying the EMDR protocol for this group were reported. The adaptations made by therapists to overcome these difficulties were highly variable. They could be divided into three main categories: adaptions in EMDR delivery (e.g., tuning to the developmental level of the client, simplifying language, decreasing pace), involvement of others (e.g., involving family or support staff during or in between sessions), and the therapeutic relationship (e.g., taking more time, supportive attitude). Discussion The variability of the number of mentioned difficulties and adaptations per study seems to be partly related to the specific EMDR protocol that was used. In particular, when the Shapiro adult protocol was administered, relatively more detailed difficulties and adaptations were described than in publications based on derived existing versions of an EMDR protocol for children and adolescents. A probable explanation is that already embedded modifications in these protocols facilitate the needed attunement to the client's level of functioning. Practical implications The authors of this review suggest that EMDR protocols for children and adolescents could be adapted for people with an intellectual disability. Further research should focus on the involvement of trusted others in EMDR therapy for people with ID and the therapeutic relationship from an attachment and relational-based perspective.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequently treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or mandibular advancement devices (MADs). For various reasons, both treatment options are often affected by low adherence. While factors associated with low CPAP adherence are described in the literature extensively, less is known about adherence to MAD therapy. This scoping review aimed to synthesize the body of literature on the factors associated with adherence to MAD treatment. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted using bibliographic databases PubMed, Embase.com , Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library (Wiley) to identify relevant studies that described factors associated with adherence to MAD in the treatment of OSA or snoring combined with OSA in adults. RESULTS The literature search yielded a total of 694 references. Forty studies were found eligible for inclusion. The literature showed that factors with a possible negative influence on the adherence to MAD treatment are personality aspects; failing effectiveness of MAD; side effects during MAD therapy; using a thermoplastic MAD; dental treatments during MAD therapy; and a poor first experience with the MAD with inadequate guidance by professionals. Factors that may have a positive effect on MAD adherence include effectiveness of therapy, custom-made MAD, good communication skills of the practitioner, early recognition of side effects, stepwise titration of the MAD, and positive first experience with MAD. CONCLUSIONS The knowledge of factors associated with MAD adherence can be used to provide further insight into individual adherence to OSA treatments.

Abstract
Early-onset depression contributes significantly to the global health burden and has long-term negative effects. This meta-analysis collates and examines the effectiveness of family-based interventions, where family members are involved in the treatment of depression in children and adolescents. A literature search was performed up to 8th March 2023. Randomised controlled trials of family-based interventions were included for participants aged 3-18 years with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder or dysthymia, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.; DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013) or with a score above a cut-off on a standardised self-report depression measure. The overall effect size for treatment versus active control was g = 0.22 (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.05-0.50) (nine studies; 659 participants), and for treatment versus non-active control it was g = 0.46 (95% CI: -0.09-1.01) (four studies; 385 participants). Effect sizes were not statistically significant, and heterogeneity was high, ranging between I2 = 64.3-81.1%. Subgroup analysis comparing attachment-based family therapy with family therapy using other theoretical frameworks did not yield a significant difference between the two. The effects of family-based therapies were larger than those in the comparison groups, but family-based therapy did not demonstrate a significant treatment benefit compared to the controls. More randomised controlled trials are warranted, considering that evidence for other psychotherapies for depression in children and adolescents, indicates modest effects. Family-based therapy may be an alternative for children and adolescents whose needs are not addressed by these treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among children and adolescents residing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) poses a significant public health concern. However, there is variation in the evidence of effective psychological interventions. This meta-analysis aims to provide a complete overview of the current body of evidence in this rapidly evolving field. METHODS We conducted searches on PubMed, Embase.com, and EBSCO/APA PsycInfo databases up to June 23, 2022, identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effectiveness of psychological interventions in LMICs that targeted children and adolescents with elevated symptoms above a cut-off score for depression, anxiety, and PTSD, comparing a psychological or psychosocial intervention with other control conditions. We conducted random effects meta-analyses for depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms. Sensitivity analysis for outliers and high-risk studies, and analyses for the publication bias were carried out. Subgroup analyses investigated how the intervention type, intervention format, the facilitator, study design, and age group of the participant predicted effect sizes. RESULTS Thirty-one RCTs (6,123 participants) were included. We found a moderate effect of interventions on depression outcomes compared to the control conditions (g = 0.53; 95% CI: 0.06-0.99; NNT = 6.09) with a broad prediction interval (PI) (-1.8 to 2.86). We found a moderate to large effect for interventions on anxiety outcomes (g = 0.88; 95% CI: -0.03 to 1.79; NNT = 3.32) with a broad PI (-3.14 to 4.9). Additionally, a moderate effect was observed on PTSD outcomes (g = 0.54; 95% CI: 0.19-0.9; NNT = 5.86) with a broad PI (-0.64 to 1.72). CONCLUSIONS Psychological and psychosocial interventions aimed at addressing depression, anxiety, and PTSD among children and adolescents in LMICs have demonstrated promising results. However, future studies should consider the variation in evidence and incorporate long-term outcomes to better understand the effectiveness of these interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eye tracking is a promising method for objectively assessing functional visual capabilities, but its suitability remains unclear when assessing the vision of people with vision impairment. In particular, accurate eye tracking typically relies on a stable and reliable image of the pupil and cornea, which may be compromised by abnormalities associated with vision impairment (e.g., nystagmus, aniridia). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to establish the degree to which video-based eye tracking can be used to assess visual function in the presence of vision impairment. DATA SOURCES A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases, encompassing literature from inception to July 2022. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA, PARTICIPANTS, AND INTERVENTIONS Studies included in the review used video-based eye tracking, included individuals with vision impairment, and used screen-based tasks unrelated to practiced skills such as reading or driving. STUDY APPRAISAL AND SYNTHESIS METHODS The included studies were assessed for quality using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology assessment tool. Data extraction and synthesis were performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. RESULTS Our analysis revealed that five common tests of visual function were used: (i) fixation stability, (ii) smooth pursuit, (iii) saccades, (iv) free viewing, and (v) visual search. The studies reported considerable success when testing individuals with vision impairment, yielding usable data from 96.5% of participants. LIMITATIONS There was an overrepresentation of conditions affecting the optic nerve or macula and an underrepresentation of conditions affecting the anterior segment or peripheral retina. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS OF KEY FINDINGS The results offer promise for the use of eye tracking to assess the visual function of a considerable proportion of those with vision impairment. Based on the findings, we outline a framework for how eye tracking can be used to test visual function in the presence of vision impairment.

Abstract
Approximately 10 % of the general population is affected by temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain. Diagnosis of myogenous TMD pain (i.e., TM myalgia) may be challenging, while an adequate assessment of this pain is crucial to establish an adequate management strategy. We aim to analyze if there is a relation between inflammation and TM myalgia, and if we can identify and measure inflammatory markers in patients suffering from this condition. An electronic literature search was conducted from inception up to July 14 2022 through the databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase in collaboration with a medical information specialist. Studies on patients with masticatory muscle inflammation and/or pain were included. After a screening procedure, only nine full-text articles met the criteria for inclusion. In the included studies 9-131 patients showed TM myalgia, and presence of inflammation was reported with analysis of interleukines IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and prostaglandins from blood, saliva, and extracellular fluid of masseter muscle using microdialysis. Our results contributed to the identification of the relation between inflammation and TM myalgia and established that measurement of inflammatory cytokines may be a valid diagnostic tool, which is an essential step towards finding a better treatment.

JMIR Rehabil Assist Technol 2023; 10:e49750. [PMID: 37966875 PMCID: PMC10687692 DOI: 10.2196/49750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Assistive technology (AT) refers to assistive products (AP) and associated systems and services that are relevant for function, independence, well-being, and quality of life for individuals with disabilities. There is a high unmet need for AT for persons with disabilities and this is worse for persons with cognitive and mental or psychosocial disabilities (PDs). Further, information and knowledge on AT for PDs is limited. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review was to explore the pattern of AT use among persons with PDs and its associated socioeconomic and health benefits. METHODS The review was reported according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), and we conducted systematic searches in the 4 databases: PubMed, Embase.com, APA PsycInfo (Ebsco), and Web of Science (Core Collection) with the following index terms: "Assistive Technology," "Self-Help Devices," "Quality of Life," "Activities of Daily Living," "Mental Disorders." We included only AT individuals with PDs can independently use without reliance on a provider. Identified papers were exported to EndNote (Clarivate) and we undertook a narrative synthesis of the included studies. RESULTS In total, 5 studies were included in the review which reported use of different AT for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety disorders. The APs described in the included studies are Palm tungsten T3 handheld computer, MOBUS, personal digital assistant, automated pill cap, weighted chain blankets, and smartphone function. All the AT products identified in the studies were found to be easily usable by individuals with PDs. The APs reported in the included studies have broad impact and influence on social function, productivity, and treatment or management. The studies were heterogeneous and were all conducted in high-income countries. CONCLUSIONS Our study contributes to and strengthens existing evidence on the relevance of AT for PDs and its potential to support socioeconomic participation and health. Although AT has the potential to improve function and participation for individuals with PDs; this review highlights that research on the subject is limited. Further research and health policy changes are needed to improve research and AT service provision for individuals with PDs especially in low-income settings.

Abstract
Weight regain or inadequate weight loss following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass poses a significant clinical challenge. Our objective was to evaluate various revisional techniques for addressing weight regain and insufficient weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass through a systematic review and meta-analysis. We performed a literature search (in PubMed and Embase) on revisional interventions in collaboration with a medical information specialist. Measured outcomes included body mass index at intervention, total weight loss during follow-up, and complications. Random effects models were used to determine pooled effect size and corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Thirty-nine studies were included: four studies reported on argon plasma coagulation, four studies on transoral outlet reduction, nine studies on transoral outlet reduction + argon plasma coagulation, four studies on pouch/gastrojejunal anastomosis revision, five on laparoscopic gastric banding, two studies on laparoscopic gastric banding + pouch resizing, 10 on distalization-RYGB, and one on duodenal switch. All techniques resulted in short-term clinically relevant weight loss. Endoscopic procedures had a short follow-up and resulted in modest and temporary weight loss. Surgical revision techniques were successful for weight loss in longer term follow-up, at the expense of high complication rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tooth wear is a multifactorial condition, leading to the irreversible loss of dental hard tissues. The availability of an unambiguous, universally applicable assessment protocol remains lacking. OBJECTIVES The goal of the authors is to develop a set of diagnostic criteria for the assessment of tooth wear (DC-TW). A two-step approach will be used to achieve this objective: (1) to develop a preliminary beta version of the DC-TW, based on the authors' clinical experience and their shared expertise and supported by a narrative review of the existing literature, and (2) to develop the final DC-TW, with input from a larger group of experts using an international Delphi process. This paper relates to the first step. METHODS The authors outlined the components that should be incorporated into the DC-TW. The literature search was performed to investigate if their concept was in line with the available literature. The search was conducted to identify eligible publications from inception to July 11, 2022. Two authors independently screened all publications, and differences in judgements were resolved through a consensus procedure. RESULTS The search yielded 5362 publications, resulting in the final inclusion of 383. These publications were divided into four main topics: (1) nomenclature/taxonomies; (2) self-report tools; (3) clinical assessment tools; and (4) clinical decision-making. CONCLUSIONS The information from the publications was used and fused with the clinical experience and shared expertise of the authors to contribute to the development of a preliminary beta version of the DC-TW.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess factors associated with work participation in people with visual impairments and to explore how these factors may have changed over time. METHOD A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase.com, EBSCO/APA PsycInfo, EBSCO/CINAHL and EBSCO/ERIC from database inception to 1 April 2022 was performed. We included studies with cross-sectional design, case-control, case-series or cohort design, involving visually impaired working-age adults with at least moderate visual impairment, and evaluated the association between visual impairment and work participation. Studies involving participants with deaf-blindness or multiple disabilities were excluded. We assessed study quality (Newcastle-Ottawa Scale [NOS]), examined between-study heterogeneity and performed subgroup analyses. The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO, CRD42021241076. RESULTS Of 13,585 records, 57 articles described 55 studies including 1,326,091 participants from mostly high-income countries. Sociodemographic factors associated with employment included higher education (odds ratio [OR] 3.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.47 to 4.51, I2 0%), being male (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.37 to 1.84, I2 95%), having a partner (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.67, I2 34%), white ethnicity (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.74, I2 0%) and having financial assistance (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.26 to 0.55, I2 85%). Disease-related factors included worse visual impairment (OR 0.61, 95% CI 0.46 to 0.80, I2 98%) or having additional disabilities (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.49 to 0.62, I2 16%). Intervention-related factors included mobility aid utilisation (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.10 to 1.18, I2 94%). A potential moderating effect of time period and geographical region was observed for some factors. Study quality (NOS) was rated moderate to high. CONCLUSION Several sociodemographic and disease related factors were associated with employment status. However, the results should be interpreted with caution because of overall high heterogeneity. Future research should focus on the role of workplace factors, technological adjustments and vocational rehabilitation services on work participation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether, and if so, which oral health care services for community-dwelling older people with dementia are available. BACKGROUND Oral health in people with dementia is poor compared with people without dementia. Although multiple oral health care interventions have previously been studied for older people living in nursing homes, little is known about interventions or services for community-dwelling older people with dementia. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature search was performed in the databases Pubmed, Embase and CINAHL. The following search terms were used: "Dementia", "Oral health", "Dental health services" and "Older person". The term "dental health services" was intended to be an as broad as possible construct because limited search results were expected. RESULTS The search generated 1624 unique references, of which seven studies were eligible for inclusion (four cohort studies, one cross-sectional study, and two qualitative studies). The included studies described two actual oral health care services: a telephone help line on oral health and dementia, and a mobile geriatric dental programme in adult day health centres. A need was found for services and strategies specific to community-dwelling older people with dementia. One identified solution was an intervention with individually tailored daily oral hygiene self-care supported by the informal caregiver. Furthermore, increasing accessibility of oral health care professionals with treatment at other locations than their own practices, better collaboration between health care professionals and preventive oral health care are highly necessary. CONCLUSION There is limited evidence on the availability of oral health care services for community-dwelling older people with dementia, while a need was found for oral health care services that focus on good accessibility, oral hygiene self-care, preventive strategies and collaboration among health care professionals.
