Narrative Commentary Research Articles

A Narrative Commentary on the Use of a Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy-Informed Group to Address Irrational Beliefs, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and Comorbidities.

Irrational beliefs of Demandingness, Catastrophizing, Low Frustration Tolerance, and Depreciation have demonstrated prevalence in disparate areas of life, including psychopathology, the military, politics, religion, and education. Individuals with mental health concerns, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), endorse elevations in such thoughts compared to the general population. This commentary describes the rationale for focusing on irrational beliefs in efforts to address PTSD and presents the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)-Informed Group for PTSD as a potential novel application of a well-established intervention. In support of these suggestions, we present a narrative review of the published work on irrational beliefs and REBT tenets as relevant for PTSD. We then introduce and describe the REBT-Informed Group intervention, summarize the prior preliminary research conducted by our group, and present some novel data from a re-analysis of this prior work. We end with commentary related to future directions of REBT approaches for PTSD to address limitations and expand the impact of the treatment to military and other Veteran or civilian populations.

Health system adaptations for extreme heat: Protocol for an international scoping review of reviews.

The objective of this study is to map the international evidence for extreme heat related adaptation strategies by health systems, with a particular focus on how heat-vulnerable populations and local situational awareness are considered in these strategies. Since the Paris Climate Accords in 2015, awareness has increased of the health risks posed by extreme heat along with interest in adaptations which aim to reduce heat-health-risks for vulnerable populations. However, the extant literature on these adaptations suggest they are insufficient, and call for research to examine whether, how, and what adaptations for extreme heat are effective as public health interventions. We will include English-language review articles describing and/or evaluating health system adaptations for extreme heat. Health systems will be defined broadly using the WHO Building Blocks model [1] and adaptations will range from the individual level to institutional, regional and national levels, with particular attention to localisation and the protection of vulnerable individuals. A comprehensive literature search of the published literature will be conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science. Searches will be limited to reviews published since 2015 in the English language. Results will be exported to EndNote for screening (with a sample checked by two reviewers to ensure consistency). A complementary search for related reports by major international agencies (e.g. WHO; International Association of Emergency Managers), as well as local searches for current guidance and case studies, will be conducted in parallel. Data from included papers will be presented in tables with a narrative commentary.

The Opacity of the World: Zadie Smith’s Swing Time

Abstract Zadie Smith’s novel Swing Time explores the complex ways in which women relate to each other across cultural difference and generational gaps, as mothers and daughters, as rivals and friends. My article traces the friction between Black feminist group solidarity and aesthetic distance in Swing Time to suggest that the novel can be brought into dialogue with a postcolonial aesthetics of opacity, as coined by Édouard Glissant. The tension between opacity and transparency is the organizing principle of Swing Time, as the novel engages with movement and change, postcolonial spaces, and the mysteries of friendship, while vacillating between ironic narrative commentary and a more elusive aesthetics of concealment. Reading Smith’s work through a Glissantian lens also sheds light on affinities between her essayistic writing and her fiction.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome-like symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination: An overview of clinical literature.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a common condition affecting more than 170 people per 100,000 population. However, POTS following COVID-19 vaccination remains a rare reporting in the medical literature. We, herein, summarize and highlight the evidence that has been reported regarding POTS-like symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination. We conducted a literature search and summarized the findings in the form of a narrative commentary. All types of publications (case reports/series, original articles, letters to editors, brief communications etc.) in English language were included. Whilst the exact pathogenetic mechanism behind POTS is yet to elucidated, there has been increasing evidence pointing towards an autoimmune dysfunction. Females were found to be predominantly affected (72%) with age range from 17 years to 52 years. Additionally, it seems that POTS-like symptoms could be triggered after immunization with Pfizer- BioNTech, Moderna, and Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines. The symptoms typically appear within the first week, depending upon previous exposure to the virus and presence of other systemic conditions. In some patients, the condition is self-resolving. However, in others, non-pharmacological interventions coupled with negative ionotropic medications can be used for symptomatic management of the patients. Timely diagnosis and proper treatment are quintessential for ensuring early alleviation (and in some cases complete resolution) of symptoms. Furthermore, there may be episodes of relapse. Overall prognosis of the new-onset POTS-like symptoms is difficult to predict based on current literature.

Commentary on “Diversity and inclusion policies in publicly traded New Zealand companies: inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities”

PurposeThis commentary reflects upon the article entitled “Diversity and inclusion policies in publicly traded New Zealand companies: Inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities”.Design/methodology/approachThis narrative commentary critically reflects upon the Global Reporting Initiative (hereafter, GRI) itself and what the numbers reported in Guruge’s (2023; this issue) article say, paying attention to what we might think and do about such standards and scenarios.FindingsThis commentary does not present a definitive assessment of the GRI. This is because it is marked by undecidability. Nevertheless, it reads some of the figures, or “data”, which register organisational uptake of GRI standards (or the lack thereof), together with other “data”, to contrive a more stable account.Originality/valueThis commentary strives to avoid presenting a reductive reading of “data” and, instead, highlights the complex multifaceted dimensions of societies, sustainability, social inclusion, disability and possibilities for inclusive practices.

Development of Recommended Dietary Allowance-Compliant Databases on Water-Soluble and Fat-Soluble Vitamins in India

Background: Every nutrient has distinctive qualities and benefits a person's physical health. Nutrients are the fuel we need to enable the body to break down food and then put this to use in the body to repair and build cells and tissue, which is our metabolism. Although vitamins are just as important for health as macronutrients like fats and carbohydrates, they are required in far smaller quantities. They are crucial for many regular body processes, including cell development and reproduction, but their role in the cell's energy-processing capacity is crucial. A vitamin's ability to be absorbed, retained, and excreted by the body determines whether it is referred to as "fat-soluble" or "water-soluble". Objective: The main objective of this article is to provide standards that serve as a goal for good nutrition. Method: This study is presented as a narrative commentary based on the information gathered from the various websites. Results and Discussion: The recommended daily allowance (RDA) and adequate intake (AI) are the amounts of a vitamin or minerals you require to maintain good health and adequate nutrition. A minimal number of fat-soluble vitamins are required by the body to maintain good health. The immune system, muscle and heart function, blood supply and clots, eye health, and other bodily processes all depend on fat-soluble vitamins to function properly. Providing coenzymes for vital metabolic processes, water-soluble vitamins perform a vital role.

Building a community‐centered archive for Cherokee language description, documentation, and reclamation

AbstractIn light of recent calls for decolonial approaches to Indigenous language learning, documentation, and reclamation, we describe the creation of a digital archive initiated and sustained by community collaboration. We work with members of the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes to translate and analyze Cherokee texts. Cherokee speakers participate in the narrative commentary around these previously dormant texts. We find three ways in which a digital archive can be leveraged for language reclamation, description, and documentation, while being initiated and sustained by community collaboration: (a) by developing collaborative translation environments across communities of users, (b) by developing software engineering methods to build reliable infrastructure for the archive, and (c) by creating collaborative workflows that center community practices and design insights. Translating historically dormant texts for this archive creates a use‐inspired language act central to language description, documentation, and reclamation. The collective translation process of building this digital archive provides a sense of continuity that grounds language learning in use‐inspired practices. Going forward, we will continue to center speaker and community‐use‐inspired language practice as we expand the archive to support more types of community contributions and other languages.

Role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the prediction of the pain: A scoping systematic review.

Artificial Intelligence in healthcare is growing quickly in diagnostics and treatment management. Despite the quantity and variety of studies its role in clinical care is not clear. To identify the evidence gaps and characteristics of the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques in predicting/diagnosing the pain? Pubmed/Embase were searched from the inception to October 2021 for articles without any language restrictions specifically addressing the following: the accuracy of AI in pain considering Brain Imaging, Patient-reported measures, and Electrophysiology, the ability of AI to differentiate stratify severity/types of pain, the ability of AI to predict pain and lastly the most accurate AI technique for given inputs. All the included studies were on humans. Eight hundred forty abstracts were reviewed, and 23 articles were finally included. Identified records were independently screened and relevant data was extracted. We performed conceptual synthesis by grouping the studies using available concepts of AL/ML techniques in diagnosing pain. Then we summarized the number of features/physiological measurements. Structured tabulation synthesis was used to show patterns predictions along with a narrative commentary. A total of 23 articles, published between 2015 and 2020 from 12 countries were included. Most studies were experimental in design. The most common design was cross sectional. Chronic or acute pains were predicted more often. Compared to control, the pain prediction was in the range of 57%-96% by AI techniques. Support Vector Machine and deep learning showed higher accuracy for classifying pain. From this study, it can be inferred that AI/ML can be used to differentiate healthy controls from patients. It can also facilitate categorizing them into new and different clinical subgroups. Lastly, it can predict future pain. The limitations are with respect to studies done after the search period. AL/ ML has a supportive role in pain diagnostics.

Indicators of infertility and fertility care: a systematic scoping review.

What is the scope of literature regarding infertility and fertility care indicators in terms of types and dimensions of these indicators? Most available infertility and fertility care indicators are outcomes indicators of effectiveness and efficiency dimensions. The use of appropriate, relevant and valid indicators of infertility and fertility care is critical for monitoring access, equity and utilization. A systematic scoping review was conducted. We searched MEDLINE, Pubmed, JSTOR, CINAHL, Web of Science and Scopus electronic databases from inception to May 2022 without imposing language or date restrictions. We searched gray literature and online libraries of relevant organizations. We hand-searched the list of relevant references. This scoping systematic review followed the framework of Arksey and O'Malley and the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. Records identified by the search were independently screened and data were extracted. We performed conceptual synthesis by grouping the reported indicators by typology and dimensions. Structured tabulation and graphical synthesis were used along with narrative commentary. We included 46 reports from 88 countries. The reporting of infertility and fertility care indicators was voluntary in 63 countries (72%) and compulsory in 25 countries (28%). Reporting for cycles or deliveries was based on individual cycles in 56 countries (64%) and on cumulative cycles in 32 countries (36%). Most indicators were utilized as outcome indicators with fewer being process indicators or structural indicators. For the dimension of indicators, most indicators were utilized as effectiveness and efficiency indicators with fewer utilized as indicators of safety, patient-centeredness, equity and timeliness. Most indicators fall into the domain of assisted reproductive technology and are reported by fertility clinics. Indicators of safety, patient-centeredness, equity and timeliness as well as non-clinical indicators are almost invisible. A wide range of indicators of infertility and fertility care exist in literature. Most indicators were effectiveness and efficiency indicators, while indicators of safety, patient-centeredness, equity and timeliness remain almost invisible. The scope of the current indicators indicates a predominant focus on clinical metrics, with substantial invisibility of non-clinical indicators and indicators outside the ART domain. These gaps need to be considered in further work of identifying a core set of indicators.

58th EASD Annual Meeting from 19 to 23 September 2022, Stockholm, Sweden (Virtual)

AbstractThe 58th European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting was held between 19 and 23 September 2022 in Stockholm, Sweden. It was also fully streamlined online. The authors attended the conference, giving a narrative commentary on what they felt were the highlights of the meeting. Several interesting lectures were presented. The ADA-EASD hyperglycemia management consensus was among the landmark presentations. The development of a particular model that could predict severe hypoglycemia risk in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) was interesting. The remission of T2D data from the ReTUNE analysis backs the “personal fat threshold” concept was very promising. Interestingly, a link between autoimmunity degree and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults' cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk was proposed. A benefit of high-intensity exercise for people with impaired hypoglycemia awareness was demonstrated. The CLOuD, namely, early and sustained closed-loop therapy does not stave off β-cell decline, data were shared. Also, subjective energy levels were shown to predict CV events in T2D. Also, C-peptide may be better than C-reactive protein for predicting CV risk in T2D. Furthermore, a fatty liver index may predict mortality and CVD risk in people with T1D. New data suggest that topical esmolol hydrochloride might aid in the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. Finally, microalbuminuria in pregnancy forecasts adverse outcomes. We hope this short account helps those who did not attend the conference to get a glimpse of the program.

#socialiseresponsibly. Analyzing the Rhetorical Structure of Heineken TV Commercials During the Pandemic

This work analyzes the efforts by the company Heineken to address in their marketing campaigns the social responsibility and wellbeing of their customers during the pandemic. By particularly looking at the audio-visual design strategies used in 15 TV commercials produced and published during the years 2020–2022, a multimodal analysis of the filmic montage structures examines how the company establishes a coherent process of core marketing and convinces recipients to socialize responsibly under pandemic conditions. The analysis follows the current trend in empirical multimodality research to pursue analyses of digital corpora with the theories and methods developed in the field. Particularly, it uses an ELAN annotation scheme for the description of specific camera techniques (such as camera distance and perspective) as well as the discourse relations holding between the shots and segments identified in the commercials. The findings show that the company mainly uses one specific type of rhetorical structure, the narrative commentary, that puts the social actors shown in many different scenes into the foreground and therefore strongly focuses on the company's strategy of positive social behavior.

Flattening the curse: Cooling down with Zadie Smith’s Intimations

ABSTRACT Zadie Smith’s latest collection of non-fiction, Intimations (2020), walks her readers through the burning blaze of the pandemic with what this article calls “cooling down”. Embracing both aesthetics and affect, the concept of cooling down is not new to Smith’s oeuvre. Indeed, its signature characteristics that include a calm authorial voice, controlled pace of prose, a self-aware narrator, and an insistence on reflection appear in all of Smith’s work, including novels such as White Teeth (2000) and Swing Time (2017) and non-fiction, such as Changing My Mind: Occasional Essays (2010) and Feel Free (2019). This article examines narrative structure, affective appeal, and political commentary as the three cooling-down registers deployed in the “pandemic” essays of Intimations. Reading against the organizational grain of the collection, the article is organized by discussing them out of sequence to emphasize an alternative juxtaposition that renders Smith’s intervention through form, affect, and/or politics most accessible.

Women's reproductive span: a systematic scoping review.

STUDY QUESTIONWhat is the scope of literature regarding women’s reproductive span in terms of definitions, trends and determinants?SUMMARY ANSWERThe scoping review found a wide variation in definitions, trends and determinants of biological, social and effective women’s reproductive span.WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADYA woman’s reproductive span refers to her childbearing years. Its span influences a woman’s reproductive decisions.STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATIONA systematic scoping review was conducted. We searched MEDLINE, PubMed, JSTOR, CINAHL, Web of Science and Scopus electronic databases from inception to January 2021 without imposing language or date restrictions. We searched unpublished sources including the Global Burden of Disease, Demographic and Health Surveys, and National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. The list of relevant references was searched by hand. Sixty-seven reports on women’s reproductive span were included in this review.PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODSThis scoping systematic review followed an established framework. The reporting of this scoping review followed the reporting requirements provided in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, Extension for Scoping Reviews. Identified records were independently screened and data were extracted. We performed conceptual synthesis by grouping the studies by available concepts of reproductive span and then summarized definitions, measures used, temporal trends, determinants, and broad findings of implications on population demographics and assisted reproduction. Structured tabulation and graphical synthesis were used to show patterns in the data and convey detailed information efficiently, along with a narrative commentary.MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCEA total of 67 relevant reports on women’s reproductive span were published between 1980 and 2020 from 74 countries. Most reports (42/67) were cross-sectional in design. Literature on reproductive span was conceptually grouped as biological (the interval between age at menarche and age at menopause), effective (when a woman is both fertile and engaging in sexual activity) and social (period of exposure to sexual activity). We summarized the working definitions, trends and determinants of each concept. Few articles addressed implications on demographics and assisted reproduction.LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTIONA formal assessment of methodological quality of the included studies was not performed because the aim of this review was to provide an overview of the existing evidence base regardless of quality.WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGSThe review produced a comprehensive set of possible definitions of women’s reproductive span, trends, and potential determinants. Further advancement of these findings will involve collaboration with relevant stakeholders to rate the importance of each definition in relation to demography and fertility care, outline a set of core definitions, identify implications for policy, practice or research and define future research opportunities to explore linkages between reproductive spans, their determinants, and the need for assisted reproduction.STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S)This work received funding from the UNDP-UNFPA-UNICEF-WHO-World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP), a cosponsored programme executed by the World Health Organization (WHO).

"Communicating Lily's Pain": A reflective narrative commentary about co-creating a resource to provoke thinking and change about assessing and managing the pain of children with profound cognitive impairment.

This paper draws together about 20 years of research work and discovery and the development of a resource about pain assessment and management in children with profound cognitive impairment. The animation tells the story of an imagined child called Lily and the skills her mother uses and the challenges that her mother faces in assessing and managing Lily's pain. The animation is built on stories drawn from qualitative research findings, conversations while in clinical practice and with members of the general public, parent advisers and other sources. Most of the “evidence” came from stories shared by parents and healthcare professionals. This paper draws on some elements of socio‐narratology and is predicated on the basis that stories are important and they can act on and with us. By using an animation to tell Lily's story, the intention was to communicate research findings to a wider and more diverse audience than the typical readership of an academic journal. The intention was to act in and on people's consciousness about children's pain and to strengthen relationships and create bonds between clinicians, parents, and children in pain to make their dialog more social, connected, and meaningful. All three of us—the researcher, the writer, and the animator—have been marked and “re‐shaped” by our work related to creating Lily; we have learned more about children like Lily and their mothers, and we have learned more about ourselves and our humanity. This animation is still a story in progress, a story ‘in the wild’, a story (and a resource) we would like you to re‐tell and share. The story of Lily's pain aimed to change the lives of parents and children and professionals. Our hope is that you can be part of that change.

Georges Perec à Montréal : Le bonimenteur

In April 1975, Georges Perec worked incognito in Montreal on the narrative commentary for the documentary Ahô au cœur du monde primitif, directed by Daniel Bertolino and François Floquet. This article describes the working methods of the writer and analyzes his role in this project in the light of the information provided by the director Bertolino himself. The ambiguous narrative position assumed by Perec, neither the author of the original script nor the filmmaker who captured the images, is comparable to that of a silent film narrator.

Reprint of: Why Vietnam continues to impose the death penalty for drug offences: A narrative commentary

In several nations in Southeast Asia, illegally importing, exporting, trading, or possessing drugs is a capital offence. Like China, another communist state in Asia, Vietnam imposes its harshest legal punishments for drug-related crimes, though many international opponents have continued to call for the abolishment of these inhumane sentences. Using grey literature, reports by international observers, and informal interviews with colleagues, the present article explores the policies and provisions of Vietnam's Party-State in regulating capital punishment for drug offences, situating Vietnam's sentencing practices in the context of legislative reviews, international obligations, and humanitarian perspectives. Assessing the arguments put forward by abolitionists, retentionists, and supporters of de facto abolition allows for a more comprehensive understanding of Vietnam's stance toward the Second Optional Protocol of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which is aimed at abolishing the death penalty in the future. The article concludes with a call for further action, outlining some basic recommendations on how the Vietnamese can keep their promises to reduce, and ultimately abolish, impositions of the death penalty for drug-related crimes.

Complementary and alternative medicines use in COVID-19: A global perspective on practice, policy and research.

The COVID-19 pandemic has met international health systems with a low level of preparedness and emergency response. While the emergence of effective vaccines has offered the Governments, scientific communities, and members of the public a possible way out of the pandemic, effective pharmacotherapy, including immunotherapy for COVID-19 prevention and treatment, are yet to be established. Internationally, this has led to a surge in the demand and supply of many complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) and practices. Recent studies have shown increasing CAM information requests made to pharmacists and other healthcare staff from members of public and patients aimed at prevention, symptoms relief or treatment of COVID-19.In this context, it is imperative that healthcare professionals, including pharmacists, are acquainted with current practices, policies, and research in relation to CAM use in COVID-19. This narrative commentary will provide an update on global practices, policies and research in regards to CAM use in the context of COVID-19. Healthcare professionals’ understanding of popular CAMs and those tipped for potential benefits in COVID-19, patient and consumer behaviors in relation to CAM use; and healthcare professionals' awareness of cultural, religious, and self-care practices associated with CAM use are imperative to inform effective communication and counselling practices and promote evidence based self-care when patients present for advice. This narrative provides relevant discussions specific to different continents and regions historically linked to diverse CAM practices.

Risk of a Major Depressive Episode in Asthma and COPD Patients Amidst Colombian SAR-CoV-2 Confinement.

Chronic non-communicable diseases, such as asthma (AS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are a public health problem that compromises patients' quality of life and is highly comorbid with medical and psychological conditions. The present study's objective was to know the variables associated with the risk of major depression during confinement due to SAR-CoV-2 in patients with AS and COPD in the Colombian Caribbean. An online cross-sectional observational study was done with the participation of patients diagnosed with AS or COPD. AS and COPD patients completed the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) to identify a major depressive disorder risk. Two hundred seventy-seven patients diagnosed with AS or COPD aged 18 to 69 (M=60.4, SD=17.6) participated. The risk of major depression was assessed using the PHQ-9 sent online after telephone contact with the participants. 30.7% of the patients during the last month reported a risk of major depression, and it was associated with a history of major depressive disorder (OR=4.39, 95% CI 1.53-12.67) and medical comorbidity (OR=1.69, 95% CI 1.00-2.86). The depression risk is associated with a history of depressive disorder and medical comorbidity in patients with AS and COPD. Medical history is the leading risk factor for depression during confinement. It is recommended to carry out studies with many participants and study other variables that may mediate said associations during confinement by SAR-CoV-2 in the Colombian Caribbean.

A Within-Program Analysis of edTPA Score Reliability, Validity, and Utility

Abstract The edTPA is a multidimensional performance assessment that targets student teachers’ planning, instruction, and assessment proficiency as reflected in narrative commentary, lesson plans, teaching videos, and student work. The purpose of this study was to analyze the reliability, validity, and utility of edTPA scores for three academic year cohorts of music student teachers (N = 60) at an institution that adopted the edTPA for use in teacher candidate evaluation. Overall, music teacher candidates were rated highest in planning, followed by assessment and instruction. Differences in assessment task and total scores were statistically significant between Cohort 1 and Cohort 3, suggesting that faculty may have become more effective over time in preparing student teachers to complete the edTPA portfolio. Scores for all three edTPA tasks and total edTPA scores exhibited adequate internal consistency. Factor analysis produced a clear structure that corresponded to the three edTPA tasks, with evidence of adequate model fit. Criterion-related validity evidence for edTPA scores, however, was mixed, with most correlations being of modest magnitude (< .25). We discuss implications for teacher educators and future research.
