Chronic postsurgical pain: risk assessment and mitigation.

PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) and persistent postoperative opioid use (PPOU) are two of the most common complications of a number of surgical interventions, which can cause significant personal and economic negative consequences. This review outlines known and potential risk factors for CPSP and PPOU and approaches to reduce these risk factors. RECENT FINDINGS: Modifiable risk factors for developing CPSP include psychological distress, preoperative pain intensity, and perioperative opioid exposure. Although less studied, psychological comorbidities are also risk factors for PPOU. Evidence-based mitigation strategies include psychological interventions and perioperative opioid sparing. SUMMARY: A number of perioperative risk factors for developing CPSP and PPOU have been identified, and anesthesiologists should be cognizant of these risk factors and potential risk mitigation strategies. Additional prospective studies are needed to further develop easily adoptable, evidence-based interventions to reduce the incidence of CPSP and PPOU.

Nursing students' perspective of dignity: A systematic review.

AIM: This review synthesizes research on nursing students' perceptions of dignity shaped by education and clinical experiences. BACKGROUND: Respect for human dignity is central to nursing ethics. While dignity is well studied in patient care, less focus has been given to how nursing students perceive and experience dignity during their education. DESIGN: A systematic review of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted across the Medline, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for English-language studies published from 2000 to 2025. Quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist and the Mixed Methods Appraisal. Tool. Data were synthesized thematically. Reporting followed PRISMA guidelines. RESULTS: A total of 24 articles were included. Students viewed patient dignity as linked to respect, privacy, and autonomy. Although students had solid theoretical knowledge, they encountered institutional and professional barriers in delivering dignified care. Supportive environments and participation in decision-making enhanced their sense of dignity. Finally, educational strategies such as role-playing, simulations, and empathy exercises enhanced emotional and psychosocial awareness. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that dignity is crucial in shaping nursing students' professional identity and ethical awareness throughout their education. Reinforcing ethical values and dignity in nursing education is essential for high-quality care.

Physical Appearance Anxiety and Eating Disorders Symptomatology: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The present study aimed to assess the link between physical appearance anxiety (PAA) and eating disorder (ED) symptomatology by a meta-analysis of existing literature. Eligible studies were searched across six electronic databases up until November 20, 2025. Pooled effect sizes (r) were calculated using random-effects models. Potential variables that influence effect heterogeneity were analyzed by univariable and multivariable meta-regressions. Influence analyses and a three-parameter selection model (3PSM) were used to assess robustness of the results and publication bias. Twenty-seven effect sizes from 21 studies (N = 5261) were obtained. The results indicated a strong association (i.e., r = 0.559) between the two variables under consideration, which was notably stronger (i) among females compared to males; and (ii) for overall eating disorder symptoms rather than bulimic symptoms. The results of this study advocate for further investigation into the effectiveness of addressing anxiety responses related to personal body traits, particularly among females, within the context of preventing and treating eating disorders.

Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy With Integrated Mindfulness on Mindful Attention, Depressive Symptoms, and Dyadic Adjustment in Low-Income Couples: A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial.

Psychosocial distress can exacerbate marital conflict, maladjustment, and mental health vulnerability. This pilot randomized clinical trial examined cognitive-behavioral couple therapy (CBCT) integrated with mindfulness in low-income Brazilian couples (per-capita household income up to one minimum wage). Thirty-four participants (17 heterosexual couples) were randomized (independent computer-generated sequence) to an experimental (n&#x2009;=&#x2009;16) or waitlist control group (n&#x2009;=&#x2009;18). We assessed dyadic adjustment, mindful attention, marital social skills, and depressive symptoms (R-DAS, MAAS, IHSC, BDI-II) at baseline, post-treatment, and 3-month follow-up. The intervention was eight 80-min conjoint sessions plus daily home exercises. Time&#x2009;&#xd7;&#x2009;group effects favored the experimental group for dyadic adjustment, mindful attention, and depressive symptoms (all p&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.001,&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.20-0.37), but not marital social skills (p&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.14). Because two outcomes differed at baseline, effects were confirmed with baseline- and dependence-adjusted sensitivity analyses. These findings provide preliminary evidence that CBCT with mindfulness may benefit disadvantaged couples.

From pathobiology to prescribing in obesity-driven HFpEF: A systematic review and practical therapeutic framework.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasingly driven by obesity and cardiometabolic dysfunction. In this phenotype, the dominant biology extends beyond congestion alone and includes visceral and epicardial adiposity, systemic inflammation, impaired myocardial energetics, endothelial dysfunction, and exertional elevation in filling pressures. We performed a PRISMA-compliant systematic review with structured narrative evidence synthesis to evaluate pharmacological therapy in obesity-driven HFpEF, searching PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO ICTRP through December 2025. Eighteen reports were included in the final qualitative synthesis. The available evidence supports sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors as the pharmacological foundation because they provide the most mature outcome data across the preserved ejection fraction spectrum. Semaglutide improves symptoms, physical limitations, exercise capacity, and body weight in dedicated obesity-related HFpEF trials, whereas tirzepatide extends this signal by improving clinical status and reducing worsening heart failure events. Finerenone broadens the therapeutic platform in HF with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction, although obesity-specific data remain indirect. Conventional neurohormonal therapies retain a selective role, but they are not the principal biological match for this phenotype. Obesity-driven HFpEF should therefore be managed as a cardiometabolic syndrome with heart failure expression, using a phenotype-based sequence that links diagnosis, decongestion, SGLT2 inhibition, obesity-directed therapy, and selective adjunctive intensification.

Exploring determinants of vaccine hesitancy among healthcare professionals: a systematic literature review.

INTRODUCTION: This systematic review aims to assess determinants of vaccine hesitancy (VH) among healthcare professionals, to identify knowledge gaps and inform targeted training programs. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A systematic search of PubMed and Scopus was conducted in February 2024. PRISMA criteria were applied, and methodological quality was assessed using a cross-sectional study evaluation tool. Studies addressing HCWs' VH determinants, including knowledge, attitudes, communication, and organizational factors, were included. RESULTS: Out of 1394 records, 221 articles were included. Reported prevalence of VH among HCWs varied across studies, reflecting differences in professional roles, settings, and vaccines studied. Key determinants included gaps in knowledge, personal beliefs, organizational barriers, and communication skills. The review highlights the importance of evidence-based information, continuing education, and effective communication in addressing VH among HCWs. CONCLUSIONS: Educational and organizational interventions are essential to improve HCWs' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding vaccination. Strengthening vaccine education, fostering effective communication, and addressing organizational challenges can reduce hesitancy and support HCWs in promoting vaccination among patients. Future initiatives should consider the diversity of educational settings, professional roles, and training requirements across healthcare systems.

A Systematic Review of Lived Experiences of Receiving a Diagnosis of ADHD in Adulthood.

OBJECTIVE: With rising numbers of adults seeking and receiving ADHD diagnoses, understanding their first-hand experiences of the diagnostic process is key for sensitive support and service design. This systematic review collates, evaluates and synthesises the existing evidence-base on lived experiences of adult ADHD diagnosis. METHOD: Keyword searches of six databases generated 10,357 citations, which were subjected to a systematic screening process that identified 21 relevant studies. Findings were analysed using thematic synthesis. RESULTS: Analysis generated three overarching themes, elaborating how diagnostic experiences are shaped by adults' Relationship with Self, Relationship with Others, and Relationship with Systems. Personally, diagnosis was widely experienced as a pivotal identity event, triggering biographical reflection that could foster greater self-compassion, but also grief, anger and identity confusion. Socially, diagnosis facilitated interpersonal understanding and communication, but also exposed adults to stigma and introduced dilemmas about diagnostic disclosure. Systemically, adults experienced the diagnostic process as beset by barriers and delays, and reported highly variable access to post-diagnosis supports or treatment. CONCLUSION: Results suggest receiving an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood is a complex relational process that can be both validating and destabilising, with variation in experiences resulting from individual biographies, interpersonal resources, stigma climates, and service structures.

Symptoms and treatment response to florensocatib and inhaled tobramycin in bronchiectasis: Post hoc analysis of two randomized trials.

Inhaled antibiotics and DPP-1 inhibitors improve clinical outcomes in bronchiectasis, but whether baseline symptom burden predicts differential treatment responses remains unclear. In this post hoc analysis of two multicenter randomized trials (SAVE-BE, n = 224; TORNASOL, n = 357), we evaluate the association between baseline Quality of Life-Bronchiectasis Respiratory Symptom Scale (QoL-B-RSS) and treatment effects of florensocatib and inhaled tobramycin. In SAVE-BE, florensocatib reduces exacerbation rates versus placebo (relative risk [RR], 0.47; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33-0.67; p < 0.0001), with RRs of 0.53 and 0.40 observed in patients with high and low symptom burdens, respectively, but no significant symptomatic improvement. In TORNASOL, tobramycin produces clinically meaningful QoL-B-RSS improvements (exceeding the 8-point cutoff in high-symptom patients) and ameliorates bronchitic symptoms, with greater benefits in those with higher baseline symptom burden. These hypothesis-generating findings suggest that baseline symptom burden may identify differential responses to anti-inflammatory versus anti-infective therapies in bronchiectasis and support its potential as a simple, practical stratification tool to guide personalized treatment.

Advanced mitigation strategies for acrylamide formation in foods: Mechanistic insights, emerging innovations, and future perspectives.

Acrylamide is a heat-induced contaminant formed predominantly in carbohydrate-rich foods during high-temperature processing, posing significant concerns due to its potential carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and genotoxic effects. This review critically examines the mechanisms of acrylamide formation, emphasizing the role of the Maillard reaction and key precursors such as asparagine and reducing sugars, along with the influence of processing conditions including temperature, time, pH, and moisture. Various mitigation strategies are comprehensively discussed, ranging from raw material selection and genetic approaches to enzymatic treatments such as asparaginase and the application of natural and chemical inhibitors. Advances in processing technologies, including optimization of conventional thermal methods and emerging non-thermal techniques such as cold plasma and ultrasound, are evaluated for their effectiveness. The review also highlights the role of food additives, functional ingredients, and fermentation in reducing acrylamide formation. Furthermore, recent developments in analytical techniques, including chromatographic methods, biosensors, and artificial intelligence-based predictive models, are explored for improved detection and control. Risk assessment, toxicological implications, and global regulatory frameworks are also examined. Finally, future perspectives focusing on genetic engineering, personalized nutrition, and digital technologies such as AI and blockchain are discussed to support sustainable and industry-applicable mitigation strategies.

Targeted Nanoparticle Delivery CRISPR/Cas9: overcoming biological barriers, enhancing stability, and improving therapeutic precision.

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) has emerged as a promising gene-editing platform for genetic disorders; however, its in vivo application remains limited by low delivery efficiency and biological barriers. Many CRISPR payloads fail to reach target sites due to extracellular degradation, immune clearance, and intracellular trafficking limitations. This review examines the interplay between biological barriers and nanoparticle engineering strategies for CRISPR/Cas9 delivery. A barrier-oriented engineering approach is proposed as a central framework, encompassing ligand-based surface modification for enhanced targeting and uptake, improved circulation stability via PEGylation and biomimetic coatings, and optimized payload release through endosomal escape strategies. Stimulus-responsive nanoparticle systems further enable spatiotemporal control over payload release. Nuclear targeting strategies, including optimization of nuclear localization signals (NLS) and exploitation of endogenous trafficking pathways, are highlighted as key factors for improving genome-level editing efficiency. Despite these advances, major challenges-including limited intracellular delivery efficiency, insufficient targeting precision, and safety concerns-continue to hinder clinical translation. Future directions highlight artificial intelligence-driven nanoparticle design, personalized delivery systems, and next-generation CRISPR platforms. Overall, an integrated, barrier-oriented engineering strategy is essential for advancing CRISPR/Cas9 delivery toward clinical applications, ultimately advancing global good health and well-being.

Multimodal intervention benefits: Responder analysis of J-MINT PRIME Kanagawa trial.

INTRODUCTION: The J-MINT PRIME Kanagawa trial was an 18-month multimodal intervention (incorporating exercise, nutrition, and metabolic management) for dementia prevention. Because the primary analysis showed no significant benefits, we performed an exploratory responder analysis to identify responsive subpopulations. METHODS: We analyzed the Full Analysis Set comprising 188 participants. Classification and regression tree (CART) analysis, applied to the intervention arm, identified baseline predictors of cognitive improvement. These rules were then applied to the entire cohort to evaluate treatment effects on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) using fully adjusted mixed-effects models for repeated measures (MMRM). RESULTS: CART identified a "Target Group" (N = 108) characterized by baseline profiles such as an MMSE score < 28 or specific metabolic ranges (e.g., LDL-C < 135 mg/dL). Within this target group, the intervention significantly preserved MMSE trajectories compared with the control group (group &#xd7; time interaction, P = 0.022). In contrast, the Non-Target Group (N = 80), consisting of high-functioning individuals (MMSE &#x2265; 28), exhibited no significant group &#xd7; time interaction. DISCUSSION: Multimodal interventions may effectively preserve global cognition in older adults with sub-threshold cognitive decline. Careful targeting of appropriate populations, while considering potential longitudinal measurement artifacts (e.g., practice effects), is essential. These findings provide a hypothesis-generating framework that warrants external validation in future prevention trials.

Assessment of the Potential of Different Anthropometric Indices in Predicting the Risk of Diabetes and Associated Co-morbidities.

Diabetes, a chronic disorder, is showing a rapidly increasing trend globally. India holds the second position in the global diabetes epidemic. The present investigation is an assessment of different anthropometric measurements and their association with type 2 diabetes to determine their diagnostic potential for diabetes as well as its co-morbidities. In this cross-sectional study, we have measured anthropometric parameters and blood biomarkers in subjects with diabetes. We have presented the comparisons of cost- and time-effective anthropometric variable with costly and time-dependent biochemical variables in control and diabetic groups (n = 233/group). Correlations between anthropometric variables and biochemical measurements, as well as the diagnostic utility of anthropometric variables for diabetes, were evaluated. The diagnostic utility of anthropometric variables for diabetes was assessed through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Neck circumference, sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD), skinfold thickness, and body roundness index (BRI) displayed high specificity and diagnostic utility for diabetes, emphasizing their potential in predicting diabetes and the further development of metabolic syndrome. The study highlights the importance of cost- and time-effective anthropometric assessments in diabetes risk evaluation and calls for further research to elucidate this intricate relationship and develop personalized management strategies.

Functional neuroimaging subtypes of obsessive-compulsive disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) exhibits substantial clinical heterogeneity that may reflect underlying neurobiological diversity. Neuroimaging-based subtyping may advance precision psychiatry by identifying biologically distinct subgroups with differential treatment responses. This study systematically synthesized evidence from functional neuroimaging subtyping studies in OCD to identify reproducible neurobiological subtypes, characterize their clinical profiles, and establish a consensus-based classification framework. We reviewed 40 original studies employing machine learning, clustering, normative modeling, or classification approaches, encompassing approximately 8,150 patients. Consensus clustering identified three reproducible neurobiological subtypes. The Limbic-Hyperactive subtype, comprising approximately 40% of patients, exhibited amygdala and insula hyperconnectivity, elevated anxiety levels, predominant contamination and washing symptoms, and favorable response to cognitive-behavioral therapy. The Fronto-Striatal-Hypoconnected subtype, comprising approximately 35% of patients, demonstrated reduced orbitofrontal-striatal connectivity, cognitive inflexibility, predominant checking and ordering symptoms, and a favorable response to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The Global-Disrupted subtype, comprising approximately 25% of patients, exhibited widespread connectivity disruption, greater symptom severity, and poor treatment response. Support vector machine classification achieved 81.5% accuracy for subtype assignment, though classification of OCD versus healthy controls showed limited generalizability in multisite settings (AUC 0.567-0.673). These findings support a neuroimaging-based framework for personalized treatment selection but require prospective validation.

Implementing a novel digital health platform for self-management of postmenopausal osteoporosis: A qualitative study of user experiences, perspectives and implementation outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis self-management requires scalable support, and digital health platforms may meet this need. This study aimed to characterise the experiences and perspectives of postmenopausal women who participated in a 12-month randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a digital voice assistant (DVA) delivered osteoporosis self-management intervention, and to assess key implementation outcomes. METHODS: This was a qualitative analysis of interviews with postmenopausal women from the intervention arm (DVA group) of the RCT. The DVA program broadcast education videos, medication reminders, home-based exercise, nutrition advice and monthly quizzes through a DVA device. Semi-structured interviews were recorded, transcribed and managed in NVivo through reflexive thematic analysis, guided by the Practical Planning for Implementation and Scale-Up and Proctor's implementation outcome taxonomy frameworks. Evidence weighting summarised participant coverage and code density. RESULTS: Twenty-two of 25 (88%) DVA group participants completed semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis identified seven themes mapped to Proctor's implementation outcomes. Evidence weighting indicated strong support for the intervention's appropriateness and acceptability, moderate support for its adoption, fidelity, feasibility and sustainability, and limited support for costs. Participants valued clear audiovisual guidance, conversation-based interactions with natural language, and flexible home-based access to self-management. CONCLUSION: Digital health platforms for osteoporosis self-management appear feasible, acceptable and sustainable among postmenopausal women. Findings indicate that these platforms are approaching readiness for evaluation in implementation-focused settings, contingent on streamlined content, reliable delivery modalities, accessible user support, clear privacy regulations and pragmatic pricing models.

Ecological momentary assessment studies on food craving among healthy adults: A systematic review.

Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) can capture the dynamic nature of food craving in free-living conditions, addressing limitations of laboratory and retrospective reporting methods. This systematic review synthesized findings from EMA studies to characterize 1) methodological features, 2) the temporal dynamics of food craving, and 3) the relationship between craving and eating behaviors. A systematic search of PubMed and PsycINFO databases was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. The review included 23 studies that utilized EMA designs to assess food craving repeatedly in daily life among healthy adults. Most studies employed EMA protocols that prompted participants to respond at pre-specified time points and utilized single-item craving measures. Most craving measures (71%) lacked specificity regarding the type of food craved. Results revealed a consistent positive within-person association between hunger and food craving. Conversely, associations between stress/negative affect and craving were inconsistent, varying by individual traits and context. Momentary food craving appeared to predict subsequent eating outcomes. Evidence suggested food craving may be a dynamic, transient state that co-fluctuates with hunger, functioning as a proximal antecedent to food intake. However, reliance on non-specific food craving measures and EMA protocols prompting at fixed schedules limits the granular understanding of craving mechanisms. Future research requires refining food craving measurement and incorporating randomized prompting within predefined windows, or participant-initiated sampling triggered by specific events (e.g., eating occasion), to better characterize food craving dynamics in relation to eating behaviors.

Treatment-related associations of nucleus accumbens connectivity within mesocorticolimbic circuits in depression.

Pharmacological treatment remains a mainstay in managing depression, yet the neural correlates associated with treatment response remain incompletely understood. This study used multimodal neuroimaging to examine nucleus accumbens (NAc)-centered structural and functional alterations associated with fluoxetine and Shugan Jieyu Capsule (SG), a traditional Chinese medicine, in patients with mild-to-moderate depression (MMD). Sixty patients were randomized to an 8-week course of fluoxetine or SG. Depression severity was assessed using the 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-24), and structural and functional MRI scans were acquired at baseline and endpoint. Both treatments were associated with significant symptom improvement. Neuroimaging analyses revealed structural and functional alterations involving the NAc. Changes in NAc-amygdala connectivity showed an exploratory association with symptom improvement in the SG group, whereas changes in NAc-rostral anterior cingulate cortex connectivity were associated with symptom improvement in the fluoxetine group and remained significant after correction for multiple comparisons. In addition, remitters exhibited stronger baseline connectivity between the NAc and ventral tegmental area and between the NAc and middle frontal gyrus compared with non-remitters. These findings suggest that NAc-centered connectivity may be relevant to treatment-related neural changes in depression and may inform future research on imaging-based candidate markers of treatment response and personalized treatment approaches. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study is registered in https://www.chictr.org.cn/ with a registration number ChiCTR1900024988 (date: 08.06.2019).

Effectiveness of grief interventions in underrepresented regions: a systematic review and exploratory meta-analysis.

Background: Most evidence on grief and bereavement interventions originates from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) populations, raising concerns about the generalizability and cultural relevance of existing findings in diverse global contexts. Individuals confronted with the death of a close person, particularly in cases of sudden or potentially traumatic loss, may be at increased risk of adverse psychological and physical health outcomes, highlighting the importance of effective interventions. This study aimed to synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of grief interventions in underrepresented regions.Method: A systematic search of Web of Science, APA PsycInfo, and Scopus, supplemented by manual reference checks, identified randomized controlled trials (RCTs) targeting bereaved individuals in underrepresented regions. Meta-analyses were conducted to estimate overall and subgroup effects based on control type, loss type, and intervention characteristics.Results: Fourteen RCTs comprising 1122 participants were included. Grief interventions demonstrated a significant moderate-to-large effect compared to control conditions (SMD&#x2009;=&#x2009;-0.74, 95% CI [-1.01, -0.47]). Substantial heterogeneity was observed (I&#xb2;&#x2009;=&#x2009;77%). No significant subgroup differences were identified.Conclusion: Grief interventions show promising effectiveness across diverse cultural and geographical contexts. However, the limited and heterogeneous evidence base highlights the need for more high-quality RCTs and for the development of culturally sensitive and contextually grounded approaches to mental health care in underrepresented regions.

Creatine formulations and repeated sprint training: effects on physical and physiological adaptations in soccer players during the short-term preparation phase.

BACKGROUND: This research examined the impact of various creatine (Cr) supplementation formulations during a 4-week preparatory phase on the efficacy of repeated sprint training (RST) and on improvements in physical and physiological performance in male soccer athletes. METHODS: A total of forty collegiate young soccer players volunteered for the study. They were randomly divided into four groups: creatine monohydrate (Cr-Mon, n&#x2009;=&#x2009;10), creatine ethyl ester (Cr-Ee, n&#x2009;=&#x2009;10), creatine hydrochloride (Cr-Hcl, n&#x2009;=&#x2009;10), and placebo (PL, n&#x2009;=&#x2009;10). All athletes engaged in a 4-week training intervention, three times a week (i.e. 12 sessions), and physical (countermovement vertical jump [CMVJ], 20-m sprint, and L-run) and physiological (Wingate anaerobic power and incremental exercise tests) performance were assessed both before and after the training period. RESULTS: All training groups improved physical and physiological performance following the 4-week intervention period (p&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.05). Additionally, the groups receiving the Cr supplement exhibited significantly greater changes (p&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.001) in physical performance, peak power output, and fatigue index compared to the PL group. However, no significant differences were found among the groups regarding mean power output and VO2max. Notably, the Ee and Hcl forms of Cr showed superior gains (p&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.05) in physical performance and peak power compared to the Mon form after the 4-week intervention. CONCLUSIONS: The results underscore the importance of Cr ingestion in enhancing adaptations for short-term physical performance tasks, highlighting the effectiveness of the Ee and Hcl forms in further improving the CMVJ, 20-m sprint, L-run, and peak power among soccer players during the short-term preparation phase.
