In surgical treatment, fundoplication is preferred over open surgery.

Epidemiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease across the Ages in the Era of Advanced Therapies.

The incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] has risen over the past decade to become a global issue. The objectives of this review were to describe the incidence and/or prevalence of IBD in the era of advanced therapies, and to describe the association between environmental risk factors and both pathogenesis and disease course across the ages. We performed a search of English language publications listed in PubMed regarding the epidemiology of IBD and key environmental factors implicated in IBD from January 2000 to December 2023. Annual incidence rates varied by geographical region with IBD estimates ranging from 10.5 to 46.14 per 100 000 in Europe, 1.37 to 1.5 per 100 000 in Asia and the Middle East, 23.67 to 39.8 per 100 000 in Oceania, 0.21 to 3.67 per 100 000 in South America, and 7.3 to 30.2 per 100 000 in North America. The burden of IBD among children and adolescents, and older people is rising globally. Key environmental factors implicated in IBD pathogenesis include exposure to tobacco smoking, antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oral contraceptives, infections, and ultra-high processed foods. Breastfeeding and a high-quality diet rich in fruit, vegetables, fish, and other fibre sources are important protective factors. Smoking has consistently been shown to negatively impact disease outcomes for Crohn's disease. The epidemiology of IBD has undergone considerable change in recent decades, with an increase in the burden of disease worldwide. Optimally studying and targeting environmental triggers in IBD may offer future opportunities for disease modification.

Significantly Increased Public Interest in Sleep Disorder during the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Analysis of Google Trends Data

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on sleep disorders. Previous studies have shown that people's sleep time is delayed. Methods: Analyze the public's interest to the keyword "sleep disorder" during the COVID-19 pandemic from December 2019 to December 2022 using Google Trends. The study also focused on the search trend data of the top three countries with high to low overall search frequency for this keyword. Results: It has been observed that during the peak period of the COVID-19 pandemic, the public's search interest for "sleep disorder" has significantly increased. Analyzing Google Trends from December 2019 to December 2022, the top three countries with high interest in searching for "sleep disorder" are the United States, the Philippines, and Canada. It shows that search interest in the United States is an increasing trend year by year, and the overall trend is relatively stable. The search trend for "sleep disorder" among Filipino netizens fluctuates greatly and is generally on a downward trend. The search trend for "sleep disorder" among Canadian netizens is moderate, and the overall trend is like that of Filipinos. It is worth noting that the Google Trends for "sleep disorder" among Filipino and Canadian netizens has changed from an overall increase to an overall decrease in 2020 as the watershed. This indicates a temporal correlation between the surge in COVID-19 cases and online search for "sleep disorder". Conclusion: It shows that public interest in "sleep disorder" has significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, and there may be a certain correlation between the COVID-19 pandemic and sleep disorders. These are worthy of further exploration by researchers, especially the changes in people's daily routines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which in turn affect people's sleep quality.

Dermoid Cysts of the Auricle: A Review of the Literature.

Dermoid cysts are congenital anomalies that contain ectodermal elements such as teeth, bone, and nerves. The purpose of this study was to identify trends in the characteristics of dermoid cysts of the auricle and the demographics of the patient population they affect. A PubMed and EMBASE search for English-language publications that included cases of dermoid cyst(s) of the auricle from database inception to October 2022 was performed. A total of 38 cases of dermoid cysts of the auricle were identified from 20 publications. The age, sex, and Fitzpatrick skin type of the patients, locations of the dermoid cysts, associated anomalies, treatment methods, and postoperative outcomes were examined. Patients' ages ranged from 0 to 63 years, with 27.6% (8/29) in the 0-17 age range. 56.8% (21/37) were reported as male. Dermoid cysts were frequently present on the postauricular surface (18/24, 75.0%) and on light skin (Fitzpatrick types I-III; 18/22, 81.8%). Unilateral dermoid cysts were more commonly reported on the right ear (17/22, 77.3%); only one patient had bilateral cysts. Associated anomalies included microtia, prominent ears, foot polysyndactyly, hemifacial microsomia, and cryptotia. All auricular dermoid cysts were managed with complete surgical excision, and no postoperative complications or recurrences were reported. Dermoid cysts of the auricle are reported more frequently in individuals with lighter skin; however, this is likely due to reporting bias. Complete surgical excision can be used to treat patients successfully, with a very low risk of complications and no need for preoperative imaging.

Digital health and some thematic shifts in bioethics in academic publications after the pandemic

Abstract Background Digital health (DH) presents vast opportunities, but also dynamic shift in viewpoints, which is reflected in academic works. Since DH concerns patient data, a major issue is complying with the bioethical principles, and ensuring patients’ privacy and security. The aim of this research is to explore avenues, in which ethics and privacy are reflected in DH, especially in terms of research, legislation, artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain applications in medicine and public health. Methods Literature search for full text publications in PubMed, Scopus and ScienceDirect focused on ethics and privacy in DH in the period 2019-2023 found 325 articles in English authored by academicians. Six thematic categories were identified: ethics (fundamental principles; ethics in using novel DH tools); privacy (in use of apps/wearables; as a challenge/barrier to DH interventions/technologies); ethics/privacy in: DH research (data gathering, use, sharing); policy and legislation (for DH applications); AI and blockchains (in medicine and public health). Results Articles were from 32 countries: USA-24.3%; UK-13.5%; Germany-7.7%; Canada-7.4%; Australia-6.7%; Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland-4.7% each; China, India-3.0% each and 20.3% from 22 other countries; 86.5% in medical/DH journals. Only 10.2% were published in 2019; 17.8% - 2020; 19.4% - 2021; 27.1% - 2022 and 25.5% - 2023. Privacy was discussed in 26.5%; ethics-23.7%; research-19.4%; AI-15.1%; policy and legislation-9.5% and blockchains-5.5% of the articles. The publication activity of all six categories increased after the unfold of the pandemic in 2020. In 2023 publications for ethics (13%), privacy (5.8%) and research (6.3%) decreased; for legislation (12.9%), AI (14.3%) and blockchains in healthcare (16.8%) increased. Conclusions The pandemic and its aftermath present a change in academic interest. Traditional ethical fundaments in DH slightly lose position in favor of top notch technologies and apt legislation. Key messages • The pandemic and modern technologies enforced new digital health applications. Further research will reveal the needs of AI and blockchain applications respecting privacy and the ethical principles. • Besides existing legislation and regulations, in order to catch up with the dynamic developments in DH, the legal base needs to become more flexible. Technologies change, privacy importance does not.

Music Therapy for Pain and Anxiety Reduction in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Procedures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol

Introduction: Many children undergo invasive and noninvasive procedures in the pediatric medical setting, which can be associated with pain and anxiety. Both pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions are currently being used to minimize pain and anxiety in pediatric patients in the medical setting. Music therapy is an evidence-based, cost-effective, and nonpharmacological service administered by a board-certified music therapist which may reduce pediatric pain and anxiety during procedures. We will undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis that will comprehensively analyze the quantitative publications that detail the effects of music therapy on pediatric pain and anxiety for patients undergoing invasive or noninvasive medical procedures. Method: This protocol is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement and is registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (Prospero; CRD42023474635 ). A three-step, iterative search strategy will include (1) an initial scoping search, (2) development and execution of a comprehensive search strategy, and (3) a search for additional publications. Procedures for disagreements among reviewers and the article screening process are outlined. Statistical analyses including analysis of outcomes and sensitivity analysis has been determined. A plan for critical appraisal of sources using the Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) and quality of evidence using the Outcome Reporting Bias in Trials (ORBIT) of evidence is also present in this protocol. Conclusion: This protocol is presented with the intention to execute and publish results of this systematic review and meta-analysis to help inform clinical practice and future research.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a global health issue, and a significant portion of individuals with MDD experience Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD), characterized by the lack of response to adequately trialed antidepressant medication and therapy. This systematic review aims to investigate the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) as an intervention for individuals with TRD. We will conduct a thorough search for publications of randomized clinical trials and quasi-experimental studies in MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science databases, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Furthermore, reference lists of included studies will be manually screened for additional relevant articles, with no restrictions on language or publication date. The search will be conducted from the inception of the databases until June 2024. Our PICO-guided research questions are: (1) In adults with Treatment-Resistant Depression, is MBCT more effective than standard care or other active treatments in reducing depressive symptoms? (2) In adults with Treatment-Resistant Depression, does MBCT demonstrate a comparable safety profile to standard care or other active treatments? The quality of the included studies will be assessed independently using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool (RoB 2). This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy as an intervention for Treatment-Resistant Depression, and will employ the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology to appraise the confidence in the evidence.

Assessing health technology implementation during academic research and early-stage development: support tools for awareness and guidance: a review.

For successful health technology innovation and implementation it is key to, in an early phase, understand the problem and whether a proposed innovation is the best way to solve the problem. This review performed an initial exploration of published tools that support innovators in academic research and early stage development with awareness and guidance along the end-to-end process of development, evaluation and implementation of health technology innovations. Tools were identified from scientific literature as well as in grey literature by non-systematic searches in public research databases and search engines, and based on expert referral. A total number of 14 tools were included. Tools were classified as either readiness level tool (n = 6), questionnaire/checklist tool (n = 5) or guidance tool (n = 3). A qualitative analysis of the tools identified 5 key domains, 5 innovation phases and 3 implementation principles. All tools were mapped for (partially) addressing the identified domains, phases, and principles. The present review provides awareness of available tools and of important aspects of health technology innovation and implementation (vs. non-technological or non-health related technological innovations). Considerations for tool selection include for example the purpose of use (awareness or guidance) and the type of health technology innovation. Considerations for novel tool development include the specific challenges in academic and early stage development settings, the translation of implementation to early innovation phases, and the importance of multi-disciplinary strategic decision-making. A remaining attention point for future studies is the validation and effectiveness of (self-assessment) tools, especially in the context of support preferences and available support alternatives.

Secondary anti-viral prophylaxis in solid organ transplant recipients for the prevention of cytomegalovirus relapse: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs). Secondary prophylaxis (SP) is not routinely recommended by guidelines on the management of CMV in SOTR but may be considered in certain higher-risk situations. A comprehensive search of English language publications up to September 2023 was performed. The primary outcome was CMV relapse, defined as the recurrence of DNAemia or disease. Secondary outcomes included graft loss, mortality, and hematological toxicity. Meta-analysis used the random-effects model. The study protocol is registered in PROSPERO (no. CRD42022357028). Six retrospective comparative studies were included. A total of 520/727 (72%) of SOTR received SP with valganciclovir. The meta-analysis did not demonstrate a significant difference in CMV relapse (odds ratio [OR] 1.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79-2.63). Heterogeneity between the studies was low (I2 = 0%, p = 0.57). SP was significantly associated with a reduction in mortality (OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.07-0.54) but not graft loss (OR 0.67, 0.17-2.63). There was no significant difference in CMV relapse among kidney-specific SOTR (OR 1.38, 95% CI 0.65-2.96). Evidence from six nonrandomized studies is limited and cannot support a recommendation for or against routine SP in SOTR treated for CMV infection. Awaiting prospective-controlled trials, the decision about SP should depend on individualized risk-profile assessments by experienced clinicians.

Data-driven insights into the properties of liquisolid systems based on machine learning algorithms

Liquisolid systems (LS) represent a formulation approach where liquid drug or its dispersion is transformed into a powder with good flowability and compactibility, leading to enhanced drug dissolution and bioavailability. Many research groups have focused on the preparation and investigation of LS, leading to a higher need for comprehensive evaluation of factors impacting LS characteristics. The aim of this work was to investigate the applicability of machine learning algorithms in the LS evaluation, using data mined from published literature, and provide an insight into critical factors governing the liquisolid system performance.The dataset was prepared using publication search engines and relevant keywords, with a total of 425 formulations included in the database. The database focused on preparation methods, formulation parameters, and liquisolid system characteristics. Subsequently, critical properties of the liquisolid system, i.e. flowability, compact hardness, and drug dissolution, were analyzed using machine learning algorithms, including Gradient Boosting, Adaptive Boosting and Random Forest.In addition to conventional preparation methods and excipients, novel technologies (fluid bed preparation, extrusion/spheronization) and materials (Neusilin®, Fujicalin®, and Syloid®) enhanced the properties of liquisolid systems. The analysis revealed that formulation factors, such as carrier and coating agent type and content, liquid phase load, model drug type and content, as well as preparation method, significantly influenced liquisolid system characteristics. The models developed exhibited high prediction accuracy when applied on test data (higher than 80 %). This indicates that the machine learning models may provide an insight into the critical attributes affecting the LS performance and may be used as a valuable tool in the development and optimization of these samples.

Possibilities of using secondary plant metabolites as antitumor agents

The review summarized the literature data of recent years on the antitumor effect of secondary plant metabolites, as well as their immunotropic and anti-inflammatory effects as components of the antitumor response. The biological basis for the action of secondary plant metabolites was characterized in the form of influence on potential targets: transcription factors, signaling pathways and receptors responsible for proliferation and apoptosis. The ways of increasing the bioavailability of secondary plant metabolites to enhance the effectiveness and possibility of their medicinal use were considered, the effects of berberine, curcumin and their derivatives were described. The search for scientific publications was conducted in foreign (PubMed) and domestic (eLibrary) electronic libraries. It was found that the multiplicity of molecular targets of secondary plant metabolites and the pleiotropy of their effects suggest the possibility of their use for the regulation of various processes in tumor and normal cells. There was a connection between the antitumor effect of secondary plant metabolites and their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory action. However, a significant limitation of their use was the fact that most studies were conducted on cell cultures, which was insufficient to judge the antitumor effect. Clinical trials were few and their results were contradictory. In addition, a certain contradiction has been noted between the idea of a more effective action when using a pure substance or a complex composition of various plant components. An important problem was the low bioavailability of most secondary plant metabolites, for which various methods have been proposed. Despite the long history of phytotherapy in oncology, the development of new derivatives of secondary plant metabolites with high water solubility remains relevant, including modified molecules of known secondary plant metabolites and the search for new ones with unexplored biological activity. Modern methods of chemical synthesis and delivery systems of derivatives of secondary plant metabolites, as well as the study of their effects in model experiments, seem to be promising scientific directions for the creation of new drugs with antitumor activity.

Modern approaches to psychoterapy of somatoform disorders

The scientific review focuses on the relevant for modern medicine problem of psychotherapy of somatoform disorders (SFD). It is based on the analysis of 106 publications on this topic (46 of them in Russian and 60 in English). The search for publications was carried out in the RSCI and Medline bibliographic databases. The purpose of the review was to form ideas about the current state of the psychotherapy of SFD with the highlighting and comparison of the main current approaches in this area. The review analyzes the overall effectiveness of psychotherapy of SFD and considers the following modern its directions: cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based psychotherapy, dynamic psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, other (rarely mentioned) psychotherapeutic methods, as well as polymodal and remote approaches to psychotherapy of SFD.The summary of the literary information presented in the review allows to conclude that psychotherapy today is considered by most authors as an important, possibly even leading component of the treatment of the considered mental pathology type. At the same time, data on its clinical effectiveness, especially in isolated use, remains ambiguous, in addition, among researchers there is still no unity of views on the main targets of psychotherapeutic impacts in SFD, as well as on the most suitable forms and methods of psychotherapy for the treatment of this pathology. Information on the clinical effectiveness of specific psychotherapeutic methods currently used for the treatment of SFD is either ambiguous or incomplete, and the polymodal approaches to psychotherapy of SFD proposed by some authors have insufficient scientific justification for the methodological combinations used in them. The future of psychotherapy of SFD is seen by the authors of this review in the development of integrative psychotherapeutic programs that combine elements of several multidirectional methods of psychotherapy, but that are based on knowledge of the general personal and psychological characteristics of patients suffering from SFD.

Взаимосвязь зубочелюстных аномалий с сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями

Introduction: A significant body of evidence has been accumulated on the associations between periodontitis (PD) and coronary heart disease (CHD), cerebrovascular diseases (CD), coronary atherosclerosis and angiopathy. Associations between arterial hypertension (AH) and diseases of the oral mucosa and PD have also been studied. However, the associations between dental anomalies (DA) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have not been analyzed, especially in Russian scientific papers. Aim: To perform a systematic search and qualitative synthesis of the results of original studies aimed at studying the relationship between PCA and coronary artery disease, hypertensions and atrial fibrillation (AF). Materials and Methods: A systematic search for scientific publications in Russian and English was carried out using PubMed (Medline) and E-library for the period 20002023 in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Results: In total, 245 publications were identified, of which only 5 met the inclusion criteria. Patients with a complicated form of CHD – acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were significantly more likely to have DA compared to patients without AMI. There is also evidence suggesting an association between DA and atrial fibrillation (AF). No associations between DA and AH were identified. Conclusions: There is a limited number of research on the associations between DA and CVD in either Russian or English literature. It is suggested that DA may be associated with AF, AMI and, probably, other forms of CHD, but there is a need in replicated of the initial findings in other studies.

Association Between Statin Use and Dementia, and Related Mechanisms: A Bibliometric Analysis from 2007 to 2023.

Emerging evidence suggests the potential of hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA, statins) as a therapeutic option for dementia. The primary objective of this study is to assess the current state of research on statins use in dementia, with a focus on identifying pivotal questions within the field. A systemic search for publications on statin use in dementia between 2007 and 2023 was conducted, utilizing the Web of Science Core Collection. The scientific output was analyzed from various perspectives through VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the bibliometrics website (https://bibliometric.com/). 560 articles authored by 2,977 individuals and 999 institutions across 58 countries were included, which were published in 295 periodicals and cited 21,176 references from 16,424 authors. The annual publication output remained steady, while the number of citations increased consistently. The U.S. and Mayo Clinic emerged as the most significant country and institution, respectively. B. McGuinness and D.L. Sparks were the most eminent authors. Journal of Alzheimer's Disease was the most influential journal. Three sets of keywords and the top 10 references were identified, suggesting pivotal questions within the field. While statins show promising potential as a treatment option for dementia, their use remains uncertain due to the reported short-term cognitive impairment events and questionable long-term protective effects against dementia. The pivotal question is to ascertain the association between statins and cognition. The mechanisms underlying the effects of statins on cognition are multifaceted. This study provides insights into the current status within the field of statin use in dementia.

From science to society: Exploring the nexus between obesity research and public awareness in Brazil

Raising public awareness about the medical aspects of obesity is crucial in Brazil, given its escalating prevalence. This study investigated the correlation between scientific research on obesity in the country and public awareness by scrutinizing scientific publications and online search trends. Scientific data were sourced from Dimensions, while online engagement data were extracted from Google Trends. Key metrics were analyzed, including scientific publication trends, Altmetrics, news image trends, YouTube trends, and web search trends. Linear regression and the Mann-Kendall test assessed trends, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) explored dataset variations.Scientific publications on obesity in Brazil consistently increased from 2004 to 2023, reflecting growing scientific interest. The number of publications increased from 300 in 2004 to 7566 in 2022, representing a 25-fold increase. However, web search trends among the general population declined by 79 % during the same period, indicating ineffective "knowledge translation”. Altmetrics and news image trends fluctuated, while YouTube trends exhibited a decline. The disparity between scientific publications and public web search trends highlights the necessity for more efficient scientific information communication.The gap between scientific publishing and public web search trends highlights the need for improved scientific communication. Measures such as formal science communication training for scientists, leveraging social media, embracing arts-based approaches, and nurse advocacy can facilitate informed public discourse and foster interest in obesity-related topics.

Animal Models of Vascular Cognitive Disorder after Myocardial Infarction: Scoping Review

Vascular cognitive disorders (VCD) are one of the most common forms of non-psychotic mental disorders with a variable phenotype and rate of progression, transformation into vascular dementia. VCD is characterized by development against the background of existing cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which explains the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to their diagnosis and treatment. The study of new mechanisms of development of VCD can help in finding the key to the development of innovative diagnostic methods and personalized treatment approaches. The purpose of this thematic review is to search, generalize and systematize domestic and foreign research in the field of fundamental neurology using methods of modeling VCD in experimental animals. The authors conducted a search for publications in the databases PubMed, Springer, Web of Science, Clinical Keys, Scopus, Oxford Press, Cochrane, e-Library using keywords and their combinations. The publications for 2005-2024 were analyzed, including original studies of VCD and vascular dementia.

General vs. specific: How location information control drives performance in peer-to-peer accommodation

Unlike traditional hotels that explicitly specify their geographical locations, hosts on peer-to-peer accommodation platforms can partially conceal their properties' location information, showcasing only a general area in public searches for potential guests. However, the impact of this information control has been underexplored. Drawing upon the communication privacy management theory and leveraging a unique Airbnb panel dataset from multiple sources, this study investigates the effect of partial location information concealment on property sales performance. Findings show that partially concealing location information leads to an 18.4% increase in occupancy rates compared to disclosing specific location details. Additionally, the effect of location concealment is contingent upon co-owner responsibility boundaries (i.e., host identity verification, guest screening), as well as environmental density boundaries (i.e., population density, listing density). Furthermore, a scenario-based experiment confirms the main effect, and reveals that guests’ sense of control and perceived risks serve as the underlying mechanisms driving this direct effect.

The main focus of the analysis was psychotherapeutic methods and their effectiveness, with special emphasis on psychoeducational methods. The search of scientific publications was conducted using set expressions and key words in relevant bibliographic systems and databases (Scientific Electronic Library elibrary.ru, Cyberleninka,PubMed). A total of 78 articles were found; 36 sources were used for citation. Evidence-based psychotherapeutic methods in the treatment of depressive disorders are described, their structure is touched upon, psychoeducational methods are analyzed, and their effectiveness and significance are shown.

Emerging Trends in Pre-Anesthetic Assessment: A Systematic Review of Novel Approaches and Technologies

In order to understand the current evolution, this systematic review examines the advances in preanesthetic assessment. Although the paper demonstrates the potential to revolutionize patient care, it also recognizes its limitations. These include publication bias and search limitations. At the same time, the general exposure to advances in preoperative care, including but not limited to technology and patient-centered approaches, may be valuable to the research. The nature of survey research is complicated because studies vary in quality and are prone to bias. Nevertheless, studies should be conducted on a regular basis, and techniques for assessing preanesthetic should be improved. Furthermore, this improvement should take into account patient outcomes and their subsequent need for surgical safety. Although achievements in assessment systems have limitations, prospective developments aim to fill gaps, including deficiencies in current approaches. This fact is beneficial for both patients and healthcare providers, and underscores the importance of innovation and EBP practices for preanesthetic assessment and overall quality of perioperative care.
