Conservative interventions for female exercise-induced urinary incontinence: a systematic review.

To systematically review and synthesise what is known about the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical conservative interventions for the management of urinary incontinence (UI) experienced by women during physical exercise. A systematic search was performed in the following databases in September 2023: the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Excerpta Medica dataBASE (EMBASE), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). Studies were deemed eligible if population consisted of females who reported symptoms of UI while participating in physical exercise, and the interventions involved any non-pharmaceutical conservative treatment to manage symptoms during exercise. The primary outcome was severity of UI signs and symptoms. The protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO identifier: CRD42022379138). Of the 3429 abstracts screened, 19 studies were retained. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and intravaginal devices were the most commonly investigated modalities. Only two randomised controlled trials (RCTs), both among volleyball players, compared PFMT with no PFM exercise, showing a reduction in pad weight gain after the intervention in the experimental groups only. PFMT with and without biofeedback randomised among soldiers demonstrated a reduction in the frequency of urine leakage episodes in both groups, while supervised and unsupervised PFMT randomised among athletes from different sports showed pad weight gain reduction in the supervised group only. Seven single-arm studies suggested that PFMT alone or combined with other modalities may reduce UI severity in active women based on questionnaires, bladder diaries, and self-reported symptoms. A single-arm and a crossover study found pessary use beneficial in reducing urine leakage based on questionnaires and pad weight gain, respectively. When comparing pessary, tampon, and no intervention, two repeated-measures studies found tampons may reduce leakage more than pessaries in CrossFit exercisers and women performing aerobic exercises. A vaginal sponge also reduced pad weight gain during aerobic exercises. Other modalities (i.e., an intraurethral device, photobiomodulation, and combined therapies) were investigated using case series or single case studies. While all interventions showed some evidence of effectiveness, the results must be interpreted with caution due to methodological limitations and high risk of bias. In particular, despite a high reliance on pad tests as a primary outcome, we identified inconsistencies in how pad tests were administered and interpreted. Only the effectiveness of PFMT to reduce urine leakage during exercise has been evaluated through RCTs, with some evidence of effectiveness. We identified a clear need for higher quality studies, with better reporting on the interventions, and more judicious use and interpretation of outcome measures.

Effect of type 2 diabetes on biochemical markers of bone metabolism: a meta-analysis.

This meta-analysis aims to examine differences in biochemical markers of bone metabolism between individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and non-T2DM control groups. Two independent evaluators searched five databases: PubMed, EMBASE, EBSCOhost, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. We aimed to identify observational studies investigating the impact of T2DM on biochemical markers of bone metabolism. Literature retrieval covered the period from the establishment of the databases up to November 2022. Studies were included if they assessed differences in biochemical markers of bone metabolism between T2DM patients and non-T2DM control groups using cross-sectional, cohort, or case-control study designs. Fourteen studies were included in the analysis, comprising 12 cross-sectional studies and 2 cohort studies. Compared to the non-T2DM control group, T2DM patients showed reduced levels of Osteocalcin and P1NP, which are markers of bone formation. Conversely, levels of Alkaline phosphatase and Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, other bone formation markers, increased. The bone resorption marker CTX showed decreased levels, while TRACP showed no significant difference. In individuals with T2DM, most bone turnover markers indicated a reduced rate of bone turnover. This reduction can lead to increased bone fragility despite higher bone mineral density, potentially increasing the risk of osteoporosis.

Recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax secondary to lung cystic lesions in a case of convalescent COVID-19: a case report and literature review

BackgroundWhile spontaneous pneumothorax has been documented in COVID-19 patients, reports on recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax due to cystic lesions in convalescent COVID-19 patients are scarce. The progression of these lung cystic lesions remains inadequately explored.Case presentation and literature reviewAn 81-year-old male, a non-smoker with a history of rheumatoid arthritis, presented with fever, cough, and expectoration for 14 days. Initially diagnosed with moderate COVID-19, he deteriorated to severe COVID-19 despite adherence to local treatment guidelines. Successive identification of three cystic lesions termed “bulla” or “pneumatocele”, and one cystic lesion with air-fluid level, referred to as “pneumo-hamatocele” (PHC), occurred in his lungs. Gradual improvement followed anti-inflammatory therapy and optimal supportive care. However, on day 42, sudden worsening dyspnea prompted a computed tomography (CT) scan, confirming a right spontaneous pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema, likely due to PHC rupture. Discharge followed chest tube implementation for pneumothorax resolution. On day 116, he returned to the hospital with mild exertional dyspnea. Chest CT revealed recurrent right pneumothorax from a remaining cyst in the right lung. Apart from our patient, literature retrieval identified 22 COVID-19 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax due to cystic lesions, with a male predominance (95.6%; 22/23). Diagnosis of pneumothorax and lung cystic lesions occurred around day 29.5 (range: 18–35) and day 26.4 (± 9.8) since symptom onset, respectively. Except for one patient whose pneumothorax occurred on day seven of illness, all patients eventually recovered.ConclusionsRecurrent spontaneous pneumothorax secondary to lung cystic lesions may manifest in convalescent COVID-19 patients, particularly males with COVID-19 pneumonia. Chest CT around 2 to 3 weeks post-symptom onset may be prudent to detect cystic lesion development and anticipate spontaneous pneumothorax.

Efficacy of Local Anesthesia for Radial Artery Puncture Pain: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

We performed a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to assist clinicians in determining the optimal patient-specific method of analgesia during radial artery puncture by comparing radial artery puncture procedural pain. We included randomized controlled trials that assessed the prophylactic efficacy of local anesthesia for radial artery puncture-associated pain. We searched the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online in January 2023, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials in January 2023, the Excerpta Medica Database in December 2022, the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Platform Search Portal in January 2023, and ClinicalTrials.gov in January 2023. We synthesized the pain scores (0-100 scale) using the frequentist random-effects NMA model. We evaluated the confidence in each outcome using the CINeMA tool (https://cinema.ispm.unibe.ch/). We conducted an NMA of 1,619 patients across 14 studies on pain scores during radial artery puncture-related procedures for 12 interventions. Compared with placebo, mepivacaine infiltration and lidocaine spray probably reduce pain (mean difference (MD): -47.67, 95% confidence interval (CI): -61.45 to -33.89, confidence rating (CR): moderate; MD: -27.38, 95% CI: -37.53 to -17.22, CR: moderate). Of the 32 studies included, none reported systemic adverse events, such as anaphylaxis or local anesthetic systemic toxicity, or severe local adverse events. In conclusion, mepivacaine infiltration and lidocaine spray probably reduce the pain associated with radial artery puncture more than other local anesthesia.

Application of virtual simulation technology in epidemiology education: a systematic review

Objective: To systematically review the progress, advantages, disadvantages, precautions and future trends of virtual simulation technology used in epidemiology teaching. Methods: A systematical literature retrieval was conducted by using PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data and VIP Paper Check System with key words of epidemiology, teaching and virtual simulation, and the literatures included were screened and classified with narrative integration method. Chinese virtual simulation teaching platforms were used to select the literatures about existing epidemiology virtual simulation teaching projects for integration and analysis. Results: A total of 22 articles were included (7 in Chinese and 15 in English), most of which were teaching projects for students majoring in Public Health. We also found 24 national first-class courses and 21 provincial first-class courses in virtual simulation of epidemiology in China. The application of virtual simulation technology in epidemiology education is still in its infancy, and the interaction degree is mostly moderate. It is mainly used in three scenarios: improving the visualization degree of complex concepts and structures, training the operational skills through low-risk and low-cost virtual environment, serving as an effective supplement to the teaching of epidemiological field investigation and response to public health emergencies. In terms of effect, it is conducive to students' understanding of epidemiology related phenomena and principles, and has the advantages of breaking through time and space constraints, reducing teaching costs and risks, improving students' attention and satisfaction and so on. However, it also faces the lack of foundation in the initial stage, and some students have problems such as psychological and physiological discomfort. In the future, we need to optimize the development process, program design and so on. At the same time, we should conduct more in-depth research on cost calculation, effect evaluation and curriculum integration. Conclusions: The application of virtual simulation technology in epidemiology education is an important part of training high-level applied public health talents. We encourage to actively carry out virtual simulation teaching in epidemiology, and train public health talents with Chinese characteristics.

Methodology for developing data-rich Key Event Relationships for Adverse Outcome Pathways exemplified by linking decreased androgen receptor activity with decreased anogenital distance

The Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) framework has gained widespread acceptance in toxicological disciplines as a tool for aiding chemical hazard assessment. Despite increased activity in AOP development, progress towards a high volume of fully endorsed AOPs has been slow, partly due to the challenging task of constructing complete AOPs according to the AOP Developer’s Handbook. To facilitate greater uptake of new knowledge units onto the open-source AOP-wiki platform, a pragmatic approach was recently proposed. This approach involves considering Key Event Relationships (KERs) for individual development through systematic approaches, as they represent essential units of knowledge from which causality can be inferred; from low complexity test data to adverse outcomes in intact organisms. However, more broadly adopted harmonized methodologies for KER development would be desirable. Using the AOP Developer’s Handbook as a guide, a KER linking 'decreased androgen receptor (AR) activity' with 'reduced anogenital distance (AGD)' was developed to demonstrate a methodology applicable for future developments of KERs requiring systematic literature retrieval approaches.

Mapping evidence on the distribution of uterine fibroids in sub-Saharan Africa: A scoping review protocol.

Uterine fibroids are the most common pelvic benign tumours found in reproductive-aged women and may affect up to 70% of all women by menopause. Uterine fibroids place a heavy burden on women and society resulting in poor quality of life, impaired self-image, and impaired social, sexual, emotional, and physical well-being of affected individuals. This study aims to map the evidence on the burden of uterine fibroids in Sub-Saharan Africa; uterine fibroids' burden by age, uterine fibroids' geographic burden, uterine fibroids' cost estimation and reported experiences among women diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Articles will be selected from countries within Sub-Saharan Africa. This scoping review will be guided by the Arksey & O'Malley framework, enhanced by Levac et al (2010). The following electronic databases will be searched; PubMed, EBSCOhost (Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Health Source), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Africa Journal Online, and Google Scholar. The Population Concept and Context (PCC) framework will be used and the PRISMA flow diagram will also be used to show the literature search and selection of studies. Descriptive data analysis will be used; results will be presented in themes, narrative summaries, tables, and charts. The study anticipates finding relevant literature on the distribution of uterine fibroids, the burden of uterine fibroids in terms of geographic distribution, age distribution, and cost approximation related to the disease. This will assist in identifying research gaps to guide future research contribute to the body of scientific knowledge and develop preventative strategies for the disease.

Comparative Analysis of Rehabilitation Strategies Following Ankle Fracture Surgery: A Systematic Review.

Considering various forms of immobilization that enable early weight-bearing or exercise initiation, rehabilitation following an ankle fracture can start shortly after the fracture has been repaired. Alternatively, after the period of immobility, physical or manual therapy may be used to begin rehabilitation. This systematic review aimed to compare different rehabilitation strategies after ankle fracture surgery. Four different databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed/MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, and Google Scholar) were used to retrieve the relevant data using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials involving people undergoing every type of rehabilitation therapy following an ankle fracture surgerywere taken into consideration. The main result was a limitationin activities. Adverse events and impairments were instances of such secondary outcomes. A total of 31 studies were found to be eligible for inclusion in this systematic review. The use of exercise and a removable form of immobilization during the immobilization phase to enhance activity limitation is supported by very little evidence. The patient's capacity to adhere to this treatment plan is crucial due to the possible higher risk. To support the available data, more carefully planned and sufficiently powered clinical trials must be conducted.

Cementless TKA use as an alternative to cemented TKA in high BMI patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Obesity is prevalent, with nearly one-third of the world's population being classified as obese. In patients with high body mass index (BMI)/body mass undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is an increase in strain placed on the implant fixation interfaces. As such, component fixation is a potential concern when performing TKA in the obese patient. To address the growing concerns around the longevity of implant fixation, some have advocated cementless over cemented fixation. However, there is no clear consensus on whether a cementless fixation has more favourable outcomes. The aim of this paper was to present a systematic review and meta-analysis of the existing evidence to establish if cementless TKA has a lower rate of aseptic loosening in high BMI patients when compared to cemented TKA procedures. A systematic review was performed, and the following databases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (1946 to date), PubMed (1966 to date) and Excerpta Medica Database (1974 to date) were searched. All studies comparing cementless to cemented TKA in patients with BMI > 30 were considered. Meta-analysis compared aseptic loosening and all-cause revision between cemented and uncemented implant use in BMI > 30 patients. The search returned 91 articles in total; after duplicates were removed, the yield was 44 studies. Of the remaining studies that were assessed, three studies met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. The pooled odds ratio for all-cause revisions was 0.17 (95%, 0.08-0.36) in favour of uncemented implants (p < 0.01). The pooled odds ratio for aseptic loosening was 0.15 (95% confidence interval, 0.02-0.90) in favour of uncemented implants (p = 0.04). Meta-analysis demonstrated a significant decrease in all-cause revisions and revisions for aseptic loosening when using uncemented fixation in high BMI patients when compared to the use of cemented implants. The level of evidence is 1 for our systematic review.

Laparoscopic Surgery During Pregnancy: A Meta-Review and Quality Analysis Using the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) 2 Instrument.

Accumulation of experience with minimally invasive surgery over the last three decades has rendered laparoscopic surgery the mainstay of management for surgical pathology during pregnancy. In the present meta-review, we compiled the available evidence on the safety of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries during pregnancy, based on relevant systematic reviews (SR) and meta-analyses (MA). A systematic review was performed for articles published until February 2024 in English using PubMed/MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) and Google Scholar based on predefined selection and exclusion criteria.We implemented the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and included SRs and MAs examining women of childbearing age (population) who had undergone laparoscopic surgery or robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery during pregnancy (intervention).The presence of comparison to open surgery was desirable but not mandatory (comparator).The included studies should necessarily report on fetal loss (outcome), and optionally on other metrics of fetal, maternal, or operative performance. We considered SRs/MAs analyzing randomized trials, observational studies,case reports, and case series (study design).The methodological quality of SRs/MAs not exclusively including case reports and case series was assessed with the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) 2 instrument. A total of 1229 articles were screened, of which 78 were potentially eligible.Of these, 33 articles met our inclusion criteria, 18 containing SRs only and 15 SRs with MA.The examined disciplines were laparoscopic appendectomy (10 studies, 30.3%), laparoscopic cerclage for cervical insufficiency (eight studies, 24.2%), adnexal-ovarian laparoscopic surgery (five studies, 15.2%), laparoscopic cholecystectomy and biliary tree exploration (three studies, 9.1%), laparoscopic myomectomy (two studies, 6.1%), and one study each for laparoscopic surgery regarding pancreatic indications, adrenal indications, and bariatric complications (3.0%).The odds ratio/relative risk for fetal loss rate ranged from 0-1.9, with variable statistical significance depending on the discipline.Twenty-three out of the 33 studies were submitted to quality evaluation with the AMSTAR 2 instrument, with three being of "low quality" (13.0%) and the remaining 20 of "critically low quality" (87.0%).In conclusion, the widespread acceptance of laparoscopic surgery for treating surgical pathology during pregnancy is substantiated by heterogeneous and low-quality evidence.Literature mainly revolves around laparoscopic appendectomy, whereas other disciplines that may commonly arise during pregnancy, such as cholecystectomy and the acute abdomen following bariatric surgery, are underrepresented in the literature.Factors such as anatomical alterations that may affect surgical access, surgeon's expertise, and the biological course of the underlying pathology should be taken into consideration when selecting the appropriate mode of operating during pregnancy.

The application of graphene oxide and ferroptosis in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer: a narrative review.

Colorectal cancer (CRC), a leading global malignancy, continues to challenge the medical community. Despite advancements in surgical, chemotherapeutic, radiation, targeted, and immunotherapeutic strategies, issues like resistance and side effects persist. This review illuminates the potential of ferroptosis, an emerging non-apoptotic cell death form, and graphene oxide (GO), with its distinctive physicochemical properties, in CRC therapy. The databases search included PubMed, Medline and Web of Science. Search terms focused on CRC, graphene, GO, ferroptosis, and related aspects in therapy and drug delivery. The time frame for literature retrieval was up to April 2024. Studies in languages other than English were excluded. Ferroptosis has been recognized for its role in addressing treatment resistance, a notable hurdle in effective CRC management. This form of cell death offers a promising avenue for enhancing the effectiveness of existing treatments. However, understanding its mechanisms and clinical implications in CRC remains an area of active research, with significant progress required for its practical application. Simultaneously, GO, a versatile two-dimensional material, has demonstrated substantial potential in biomedical applications, especially in cancer therapy. Its high specific surface area and unique π-electron domains facilitate the effective binding of chemotherapy drugs, target genes, and photosensitizers. This makes GO a promising candidate in cancer diagnosis and treatment, particularly through tumor photothermal and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Despite these advancements, GO's clinical application faces challenges, including in vitro cytotoxicity and decreased biodegradability, necessitating further research. This review focuses on the characteristics of GO and ferroptosis, as well as their applications in tumor diagnosis and treatment, with a particular emphasis on their potential in CRC.

Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Studies on Ceramic Membranes: A Review.

As a high-performance separation material, the ceramic membrane has played a crucial role in addressing resource, energy, and environmental challenges. Here, we carried out literature retrieval and collection for the research of ceramic membranes based on the Web of Science. The retrieval strategy was quantitatively evaluated from two dimensions: recall and precision. The distributions of publication time, journal, and related subjects were systematically analyzed. With the help of CiteSpace and VOSviewer, the literature was visually analyzed through the co-occurrence map of authors and the cluster network of keywords. The findings indicate a strong correlation between ceramic membrane research and the field of Chemical Engineering. A core group of authors has emerged as prominent contributors in this area of study. Additionally, there is a notable long-tail effect observed in the application of ceramic membranes. Despite their current low-frequency usage and high-volume potential, these applications hold substantial promise for future scientific research and industrial development.

The Intimate Relationship Between Exclusive Breastfeeding and Cognitive Development

Objective: to explore the multiple aspects of this connection, addressing both the cognitive benefits of exclusive breastfeeding and the underlying mechanisms that underlie this relationship with cognitive development. Methodology: this is an integrative review of the literature. The guiding question was adopted: "What is the impact of exclusive breastfeeding in the first months of life in promoting children's cognitive development?" To construct the research, data collection and analysis was carried out through the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Scientific Electronic Library Online and the Virtual Health Library Portal through the following Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS): "Breastfeeding", "Cognition", "Psychology" and "Nutritional Epidemiology" combined with each other by the Boolean operator AND with their respective counterparts in Mesh Terms. Results and Discussion: after completing the methodological procedures, 14 articles available on the VHL Portal, in the PubMed and SciELO databases were selected, which show that there is a recommendation regarding exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of life as the best means of nutrition for babies, considering that, in addition to providing essential nutrients, breast milk is rich in antibodies, enzymes and other components that promote health and protection against diseases, influencing the cognition process of individuals. Final Considerations: it is imperative that health professionals, policy makers, communities and families recognize and value the intimate relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and children's cognitive development.

Diabetic Nephropathy as a Result of Uncontrolled Hyperglycemia

Objective: to investigate the relationship between uncontrolled hyperglycemia and the development of diabetic nephropathy. Methods: Integrative review of the literature, carried out in June 2024, in the virtual databases Virtual Health Library, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online and Google Scholar using the descriptors “Diabetic Nephropathies”, “Glomerular Filtration Rate”, “Hyperglycemia” and “Diabetes Mellitus”, as well as “Diabetic Nephropathies”, “Glomerular Filtration Rate”, “Hyperglycemia” and “Diabetes Mellitus” selected by DeCS and MeSH Descriptors, related to the Boolean operator AND in all databases. Results and Discussion: after completing the methodological procedures, 12 articles available on the VHL Portal, in the PubMed, VHL and Google Scholar databases were selected, which show that diabetic nephropathy is a serious and common complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized due to the progressive impairment of renal function, being one of the main causes of chronic kidney disease and terminal renal failure worldwide. The development of diabetic nephropathy is linked to glycemic control, with chronic hyperglycemia being a crucial factor in the pathogenesis of this condition. Final Considerations: strict control of blood glucose and blood pressure, combined with pharmacological interventions and lifestyle modifications, constitutes the basis of effective management of diabetic nephropathy.

Enhanced protein intake on maintaining muscle mass, strength, and physical function in adults with overweight/obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background & AimsWeight loss in individuals with obesity and overweight leads to metabolic and health benefits but also poses the risk of muscle mass reduction. This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials aims to determine the initial protein amount necessary for achieving weight loss while maintaining muscle mass, strength, and physical function in adults with overweight and obesity. MethodsRelevant literature databases, including Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline), Excerpta Medica (Embase), the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINHAL), and Web of Science, were electronically searched up to 15 March 2023. We examined the effect of additional protein intake on muscle mass, strength, and physical function in adults with overweight or obesity targeting weight loss. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2.0 tool. Results were synthesized using standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) via a random-effects model. ResultsForty-seven studies (n = 3,218) were included. In the muscle mass analysis, twenty-eight trials with 1,989 participants were encompassed. Results indicated that increased protein intake significantly prevents muscle mass decline in adults with overweight or obesity aiming for weight loss (SMD 0.75; 95% CI 0.41 to 1.10; p < 0.001). Enhanced protein intake did not significantly prevent decreases in muscle strength and physical function. An intake exceeding 1.3 g/kg/day is anticipated to increase muscle mass, while an intake below 1.0 g/kg/day is associated with a higher risk of muscle mass decline. The risk of bias in studies regarding muscle mass ranged from low to high. ConclusionsAdults with overweight or obesity and aim for weight loss can more effectively retain muscle mass through higher protein intake, as opposed to no protein intake enhancement.

Identifying mental health outcomes and evidence-based psychological interventions for supporting pediatric gunshot wound patients: A systematic review and proposed conceptual model

BackgroundAccidental and assault gunshot wounds (GSWs) are the second leading cause of injury in the United States for youth ages 1- to 17-years-old, resulting in significant negative effects on pediatric patients’ mental health functioning. Despite the critical implications of GSWs, there has yet to be a systematic review synthesizing trends in mental health outcomes for pediatric patients; a gap the present review fills. Additionally, this review identifies evidence-based psychological interventions shown to be effective in the treatment of subclinical symptoms of psychological disorders in the general population.MethodsA comprehensive search was conducted using five databases: American Psychological Association (APA) PsycInfo, APA PsycArticles, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Education Resource Information Center (ERIC), and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval Systems Online (MEDLINE). Twenty-two articles met inclusion criteria.ResultsFindings suggest pediatric GSW patients are at a significantly elevated risk for mental health disorders when compared to other- (e.g., motor vehicle collision) and non-injured youth. Disorders include post-traumatic stress, disruptive behavior, anxiety, depression, and substance use. Hospital-based violence intervention programs, cultivating supportive relationships with adults in one’s community, and trauma-focused outpatient services were identified as effective interventions for treating subclinical psychological symptoms.ConclusionsDepicted in the proposed conceptual model, the present study delineates a direct association between pediatric GSWs and subsequent onset of mental health disorders. This relation is buffered by evidence-based psychological interventions targeting subclinical symptoms. Results suggest brief psychological interventions can help treat mental health challenges, minimizing risk for significant long-term concerns. Cultural adaptations to enhance the utility and accessibility of interventions for all patients are recommended.
