Enhancing the Interpretation of Continuous Outcomes and Subgroup Analyses in Systematic Reviews
To the Editor Zhou et al conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the associations of problem-solving skills training (PSST) with parental, pediatric, and family psychosocial outcomes for parents of children with chronic health conditions. For meta-analysis, the study used the standardized mean difference (SMD) for pooling scores from different scales and found significant improvements in most outcomes were associated with PSST delivered online, such as depression (SMD, −0.45; 95% CI, −0.66 to −0.23), distress (SMD, −0.61; 95% CI, −0.81 to −0.40), and quality of life (SMD, 0.45; 95% CI, 0....

Evaluation of the use of a clinical practice guideline for external apical root resorption among orthodontists
ConclusionsThis questionnaire demonstrated that, 3 years after introduction of the guideline, orthodontists improved their self-reported clinical practices to a more standardised management of root resorption. None of the demographic predictors had a significant effect on the results. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Why is sharing knowledge about hand hygiene and infection prevention and control still so important?
The global health care workforce is estimated to exceed 65 million. [1] Broken down by cadre, this “stock” comprises 29.1 million nurses, 12.7 million medical doctors, 3.7 million pharmacists, 2.5 million dentists, 2.2 million midwives and 14.9 million in additional occupations, including cleaners and healthcare waste workers. These numbers have not accounted for external contractors. Each of these numbers represents a person requiring training and education in infection prevention and control (IPC), to support the overall safety and quality of health care delivery.

Application of the Stanford Biodesign Framework in Healthcare Innovation Training and Commercialization of Market Appropriate Products: A Scoping Review
AbstractThe Stanford Biodesign needs-centric framework can guide healthcare innovators to successfully adopt the ‘Identify, Invent and Implement’ framework and develop new healthcare innovations products to address patients’ needs. This scoping review explored the application of the Stanford Biodesign framework for healthcare innovation training and the development of novel healthcare innovative products . Seven electronic databases were searched from their respective inception dates till April 2023: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest Dissertations, and Theses Global.

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1608: Effects of Adjuvant Exercise and Nutrition Therapy on Muscle Fibre Biomechanics in Gastrointestinal Cancer Patients
Oliver Friedrich Patients with aggressive cancer, e.g., gastrointestinal cancer, are prone (≥50% chance) to developing cancer cachexia (CC). Little is known about the effects of CC on the biomechanical function of muscle. A promising prevention strategy was found in the form of a multi-modal therapy combining mild resistance exercise (e.g., whole-body electro-myostimulation, WB-EMS) and a protein-rich diet. In a previous study of ours, this was effective in counteracting the loss of muscle mass, yet a systematic and comprehensive assessment of active and passive single muscle fibre functions was so far abs...

Meal support intervention for eating disorders: a mixed-methods systematic review
DiscussionMeal support intervention is potentially suitable and beneficial for patients of various age groups and eating disorder diagnoses. Due to the lack of consistent approaches, it is apparent there is no standardised framework and manualised approach. This highlights the need for the development of a co-designed approach, adequate training, and rigorous evaluation. (Source: Journal of Eating Disorders)

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2653: FPGA-Microprocessor Based Sensor for Faults Detection in Induction Motors Using Time-Frequency and Machine Learning Methods
onino-Daviu Induction motors (IM) play a fundamental role in the industrial sector because they are robust, efficient, and low-cost machines. Changes in the environment, installation errors, or modifications to working conditions can generate faults in induction motors. The trend on IM fault detection is focused on the design techniques and sensors capable of evaluating multiple faults with various signals using non-invasive analysis. The methodology is based on processing electric current signals by applying the short-time Fourier transform (STFT). Additionally, the computation of the mean and standard deviation of in...
