Abstract
PURPOSE To develop an overview of systematic reviews (SRs) to summarize the current evidence on the effectiveness of mind-body exercises, specifically qigong, tai chi, and yoga, on osteoarthritis-related symptoms. METHODS CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception up to 20 June 2022. Pain, physical function, psychological symptoms, and quality of life were analyzed. AMSTAR 2 was used to assess the methodological quality of SRs. The primary study overlap among SRs was calculated. RESULTS A total of 13 SRs were selected, including 32 meta-analyses of interest that comprised 33 distinct primary studies. Overall, qigong, tai chi, and yoga-based interventions may improve osteoarthritis-related symptoms, mainly physical function. However, no SRs were judged to have high methodological quality. Only three SRs judged certainty of evidence using a gold standard for it. The primary study overlap was very high for SRs covering tai chi or yoga trials. CONCLUSIONS There was a positive tendency in favor of these mind-body exercises for improving pain, arthritis self-efficacy, and mainly, physical function. Unfortunately, no clinical recommendations can be made due to the high number of methodological concerns that were described above. New high-quality SRs covering this topic are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This overview of reviews aimed to summarize the effectiveness of exercise, regular physical activity or mind-body exercises on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and comorbidities associated with PTSD (e.g. depression symptoms) among individuals without age, gender, race, ethnicity or setting restrictions. DATA SOURCES The CINAHL, Embase, PubMed and SPORTDiscus databases were searched from inception to November 16, 2023. REVIEW METHODS Systematic reviews with meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials evaluating exercise, regular physical activity or mind-body exercises were considered. Control groups and outcome measures were not restricted. AMSTAR 2 assessed the methodological quality of reviews. The overlap between reviews was calculated. RESULTS A total of 14 systematic reviews were included meta-analyzing 23 distinct randomized clinical trials. There was a very high overlap between reviews (corrected covered area = 16%). PTSD symptoms, depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, sleep quality, substance abuse and quality of life were meta-analyzed. No reviews meta-analyzed the effects of regular physical activity. Overall, the meta-analyses found multicomponent exercise programs may have positive results in reducing PTSD symptoms and improving quality of life. In addition, the results of yoga were inconsistent across the meta-analyses for PTSD symptoms, and no differences between groups were found in favor of yoga for depression symptoms. Finally, no specific conclusions could be made about anxiety symptoms, sleep quality and substance abuse. CONCLUSION A multicomponent exercise program may be effective in improving PTSD symptoms and quality of life, whereas yoga may be ineffective for depression symptoms in adults with PTSD.

Abstract
This overview of reviews aimed to synthesize the effectiveness of non-pharmacological approaches to enhance self-efficacy in people with osteoarthritis. The CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to December 2023. We considered systematic reviews with meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials evaluating any non-pharmacological intervention. We used AMSTAR 2 to assess the methodological quality of reviews. The overlap between reviews was calculated. We included eight systematic reviews with meta-analysis evaluating 30 different clinical trials. Overall, mind-body exercises, psychological interventions, and self-management strategies may improve arthritis self-efficacy. Specifically, the meta-analyses showed tai chi exercises, coping skills training, and the arthritis self-management program are more effective than controls to enhance arthritis self-efficacy in people with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. In addition, inconsistent results were detected across meta-analyses regarding the effectiveness of multidisciplinary interventions. Finally, the degree of overlap between all reviews was moderate (CCA = 6%) and many included reviews reported most of the items of AMSTAR 2. Tai chi exercises, coping skills training, and the arthritis self-management program may be beneficial for enhancing arthritis self-efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This overview of systematic reviews with meta-analysis summarized the prevalence of anxiety and depression in different types of tumors around the world. METHODS The quality of reviews was assessed. The degree of overlap between reviews was calculated. The regional prevalence of anxiety and depression was shown in the main text based on the World Health Organization regions. RESULTS Twenty-five reviews including 128 meta-analyses of interest were selected. The pooled prevalence of anxiety in breast tumors was in Africa (19 %), the Americas (38 %), Eastern Mediterranean (56 %), Europe (38 %), South-East Asia (42 %), and Western Pacific (26 %). The pooled prevalence of depression in breast tumors was in Africa (40 %), the Americas (23-25 %), Eastern Mediterranean (49-51 %), Europe (27-29 %), South-East Asia (23-33 %), Western Pacific (29 %). The pooled prevalence of depression in digestive tumors was in the Americas (4-44 %), Eastern Mediterranean (42 %), Europe (20-27 %), South-East Asia (66 %), and Western Pacific (24-40 %). The pooled national prevalence of anxiety and depression was mainly evaluated in China and Iran. LIMITATIONS Important methodological issues were identified. For example, no reviews judged the certainty of evidence. CONCLUSIONS The Eastern Mediterranean region showed the highest prevalence of anxiety and depression for breast tumors. The South-East Asian region showed the highest prevalence of depression for digestive tumors. In these regions, many countries are considered low-income and middle-income countries. Further research funding would help increase the investigation on this topic, which may allow the development of preventive strategies that reduce the prevalence of anxiety and depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Foot ulcers in people with diabetes are a serious complication requiring a complex management and have a high societal impact. Quality monitoring systems to optimize diabetic foot care exist, but a formal and more evidence-based approach to develop quality indicators (QIs) is lacking. We aimed to identify a set of candidate indicators for diabetic foot care by adopting an evidence-based methodology. METHODS A systematic search was conducted across four academic databases: PubMed, Embase CINAHL and Cochrane Library. Studies that reported evidence-based interventions related to organization or delivery of diabetic foot care were searched. Data from the eligible studies were summarized and used to formulate process and structure indicators. The evidence for each candidate QI was described in a methodical and transparent manner. The review process was reported according to the "Preferred Reported Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis" (PRISMA) statements and its extension for scoping reviews. RESULTS In total, 981 full-text articles were screened, and 322 clinical studies were used to formulate 42 candidate QIs. CONCLUSIONS An evidence-based approach could be used to select candidate indicators for diabetic foot ulcer care, relating to the following domains: wound healing interventions, peripheral artery disease, offloading, secondary prevention, and interventions related to organization of care. In a further step, the feasibility of the identified set of indicators will be assessed by a multidisciplinary panel of diabetic foot care stakeholders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present review was (1) to determine the effects of exercise based-interventions (EBIs) on pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory biomarkers in patients with fibromyalgia (FM), and (2) to determine the most effective type (acute or maintained) and modality (aerobic, resistance, etc.). METHODS A systematic search was conducted in various electronic databases to identify all the relevant studies: Medline (PubMed), PEDro, EBSCO and Google Scholar. Clinical trials assessing the effects of EBIs in patients with FM were selected. Methodological quality was evaluated by two independent investigators using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Qualitative analysis was based on the classification of the results into levels of evidence according to GRADE. RESULTS Eleven studies were included. The meta-analysis showed a statistically significant decrease in proinflammatory biomarkers by EBIs with a large clinical effect in 19 comparisons (SMD: 1.74; 95 % CI: 0.85-2.62; p < 0.05), especially for IL8. The certainty of the evidence was low. The meta-analysis showed no statistically significant increase in anti-inflammatory biomarkers (IL10) by EBIs in 6 comparisons and very low certainty of evidence. Evidence was found for acute and maintained effects of exercise, with aerobic and aquatic exercise modalities showing better improvements than resistance exercise. CONCLUSIONS EBIs are effective in inducing an immunomodulatory response in FM, characterized by decreased pro-inflammatory signaling. However, there was no evidence of an increase in anti-inflammatory biomarkers. These results should be interpreted with caution due to low certainty of evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE This overview of systematic reviews with meta-analysis aimed to summarize the effects of exercise, regular physical activity, and mind-body exercises on negative symptoms, depression symptoms, and quality of life in schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders. MATERIAL AND METHODS The CINAHL, Embase, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched up to November 10, 2023. AMSTAR 2 was used and the overlap between reviews was calculated. RESULTS Eighteen reviews were included. No reviews meta-analyzed regular physical activity. Aerobic exercise may be more effective than yoga, treatment-as-usual, or multiple controls for reducing negative symptoms. Tai chi may be more effective than multiple controls for decreasing negative symptoms. Aerobic exercise or multimodal exercise programs may be more effective than multiple controls for reducing depression symptoms. Yoga may be more effective than waitlist for decreasing depression symptoms. Aerobic exercise may be more effective than multiple controls for improving quality of life. Yoga may be more effective than treatment-as-usual for improving quality of life. The rest of the meta-analyses found no differences between groups or combined different types of interventions in their meta-analyses. CONCLUSIONS Despite these results, important methodological concerns were detected that precluded us from making sound clinical recommendations.

Abstract
This overview of reviews aimed to summarize the evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials of the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for adults with chronic pain in relation to pain intensity, pain-related functioning, quality of life, and psychological factors. The Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to July 2, 2023. AMSTAR 2 was used to assess the methodological quality of systematic reviews. The overlap among reviews was calculated. Nine reviews comprising 84 meta-analyses of interest were included. At post-treatment, some meta-analyses mainly showed that ACT can reduce depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, psychological inflexibility, and pain catastrophizing; and can improve mindfulness, pain acceptance, and psychological flexibility. At three-month follow-up, ACT can reduce depression symptoms and psychological inflexibility, as well as improve pain-related functioning and psychological flexibility. At six-month follow-up, ACT can improve mindfulness, pain-related functioning, pain acceptance, psychological flexibility, and quality of life. At six-twelve-month follow-up, ACT can reduce pain catastrophizing and can improve pain-related functioning. Some methodological and clinical issues are identified in the reviews, such as a very high overlap between systematic reviews, the fact that the certainty of the evidence is often not rated and specific details needed to replicate the interventions reviewed are often not reported. Overall, however, randomized clinical trials and systematic reviews show that ACT can improve outcomes related to chronic pain (eg, pain-related functioning). Future systematic reviews should address the methodological and clinical concerns identified here to produce higher-quality findings. PERSPECTIVE: Despite certain methodological and clinical issues, randomized clinical trials and systematic reviews of ACT appear to show that it can improve outcomes related to chronic pain (eg, psychological factors).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical carcinogenesis is mediated by the HPV-E6 and E7 oncoproteins, considered as biomarkers usable in managing screen-positive women. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the accuracy of HPV-E6/E7-oncoprotein tests to detect underlying cervical-precancer and cancer. We included studies reporting data on oncoprotein test accuracy detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse. Random effects logistic regression models were applied for pooling absolute and relative accuracy. RESULTS Twenty-two studies were included. Sensitivity and specificity estimates ranged from 54.2% (95%CI: 45.2-63.0) to 69.5% (95%CI:60.8-76.9) and from 82.8% (95%CI: 50.4-95.8) to 99.1 (95%CI: 98.8-99.3), respectively in the population irrespective of HPV status. Higher sensitivity estimates ranging from 60.8% (95%CI: 49.6-70.9) to 75.5% (95%CI: 71.7-78.9) but lower specificity estimates ranging from 83.7% (95%CI: 76.1-89.3) to 92.1% (95%CI: 88.5-94.6) were observed in studies enrolling high-risk-HPV-positive women. Studies recruiting only HIV-positive women showed a pooled sensitivity of 46.9% (95%CI: 30.6-63.9) with a specificity of 98.0% (95%CI: 96.8-98.7). CONCLUSIONS The high specificity of oncoprotein tests supports its use for triaging HPV-positive women. However, oncoprotein-negative women would not be recommended to undertake routine screening, requiring further follow-up. Large-scale and longitudinal studies are needed to further investigate the role of E6/E7-oncoprotein detection in predicting the risk of developing cervical pre-cancer and cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE This overview of reviews aimed to summarize the prevalence of burnout and the dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment) in oncology professionals around the world. METHODS The CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, and PubMed databases were searched from inception to September 13, 2023. AMSTAR 2 was used to assess the quality of reviews. The overlap between reviews was calculated. RESULTS Twelve reviews were included. Overall, reviews showed that burnout was prevalent in oncologists and oncology nurses. On the other hand, no reviews meta-analyzed the prevalence of burnout in oncology radiation therapists. In addition, the dimensions of burnout, high emotional exhaustion, high depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment were highly prevalent across reviews in oncologists, oncology nurses, and oncology radiation therapists. In oncologists, the Americas (specifically Canada) showed the highest prevalence rates for high emotional exhaustion, whereas high depersonalization and low personal accomplishment were mainly prevalent in Europe and Asia, respectively. In oncology nurses, high emotional exhaustion and high depersonalization were mainly prevalent in Asia, whereas low personal accomplishment was more prevalent in the Americas (specifically Canada). The prevalence of overall levels of burnout was not meta-analyzed by continents. CONCLUSION Some methodological improvements may help to make more robust the findings of this overview (e.g., specific subgroup meta-analyses by oncology specialties), which may help readers reach more precise, direct, and consistent findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in marginal bone level, technical and biological complications between screw-retained and cemented all-ceramic implant-supported crowns fabricated on zirconia abutment at different follow-up periods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Independent search was conducted in Cochrane Library, EBSCO, and PubMed/PubMed Central/MEDLINE databases and the Google Scholar search engine for prospective studies and randomized controlled trials published between January 2014 and June 2023 evaluating the marginal bone level, technical and biological complications between screw-retained and cemented all-ceramic implant-supported crowns fabricated on zirconia abutment. Meta-analysis was conducted to assess the quantitative data on the marginal bone level and biological complications. RESULTS A total of eight studies were included for qualitative synthesis and six studies for quantitative synthesis. For marginal bone level, no statistically significant difference was observed (P = 0.83 and P = 0.69, respectively) during the follow-up period of 3 years and 5 years. For probing depth, the cemented group showed more amount of probing depth than the screw-retained group at a follow-up period of 3 years (P < 0.05) whereas no statistically significant difference was observed at a follow-up period of 5 years (P = 0.73). For bleeding on probing, the cemented group showed more probing depth than the screw-retained group at a follow-up period of 5 years (P = 0.10). CONCLUSION The evidence suggests that the screw-retained group showed no statistically significant difference in marginal bone level, comparatively fewer biological complications, and relatively higher technical complications than the cemented group at different follow-up periods.

Abstract
AIM This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the accuracy of different methods used for measuring horizontal condylar guidance (HCG) angle in comparison with protrusive interocclusal record (IOR) for dentulous patients. SETTINGS AND DESIGN The design involves systematic review and meta-analysis following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis guidelines. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was carried out by two reviewers in the Google Scholar search engine and the EBSCO host, Cochrane Library, and PubMed/MEDLINE databases for quasi-experimental studies, in vivo studies, and cross-sectional studies published from January 2005 to February 2023 determining the HCG angle in dentulous patients. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED Meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the quantitative data. RESULTS A total of 577 articles were identified, 29 analytical cross-sectional studies that fulfilled the eligibility criteria were included for qualitative synthesis and 26 studies were included for meta-analysis. A statistically significant difference was observed for the right and left HCG angles obtained by the panoramic radiograph method and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) method and for the right side HCG angle obtained by cephalogram method showing higher values than the protrusive IOR method. No statistically significant difference was observed for the left side HCG angle obtained by the cephalogram method and both the right and left side HCG angles obtained by the intraoral tracer method. CONCLUSIONS The panoramic radiograph, cephalogram, and CBCT obtained higher HCG angles in dentulous patients than the protrusive IOR method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing prevalence of cancer detection necessitated practical strategies to deliver highly accurate, beneficial, and dependable processed information together with experimental results. We deleted the cancer biomarker NOX4 using three novel genetic knockout (KO) methods. Homology-directed repair (HDR), Dual allele HITI (Du-HITI) and CRISPR-excision were utilized in this study. METHODS The predictive value of the NOX4 expression profile was assessed using a combined hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). With a 95% confidence interval, a pooled odd ratio (OR) was used to calculate the relationship between NOX4 expression patterns and cancer metastasis. There were 1060 tumor patients in all sixteen research that made up this meta-analysis. To stop the NOX4 from being transcribed, we employed three different CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockdown methods. The expression of RNA was assessed using RT-PCR. We employed the CCK-8 assay, colony formation assays, and the invasion transwell test for our experiments measuring cell proliferation and invasion. Using a sphere-formation test, the stemness was determined. Luciferase reporter tests were carried out to verify molecular adhesion. Utilizing RT-qPCR, MTT, and a colony formation assay, the functional effects of NOX4 genetic mutation in CRISPR-excision, CRISPR-HDR, and CRISPR du-HITI knockdown cell lines of breast cancer were verified. RESULTS There were 1060 malignant tumors in the 16 studies that made up this meta-analysis. In the meta-analysis, higher NOX4 expression was linked to both a shorter overall survival rate (HR = 1.93, 95% CI 1.49-2.49, P < 0.001) and a higher percentage of lymph node metastases (OR = 3.22, 95% CI 2.18-4.29, P < 0.001). In breast carcinoma cells, it was discovered that NOX4 was overexpressed, and this increase was linked to a poor prognosis. The gain and loss-of-function assays showed enhanced NOX4 breast carcinoma cell proliferation, sphere-forming capacity, and tumor development. To activate transcription, the transcriptional factor E2F1 also attaches to the promoter region of the Nanog gene. The treatment group (NOX4 ablation) had substantially more significant levels of proapoptotic gene expression than the control group (P < 0.01). Additionally, compared to control cells, mutant cells expressed fewer antiapoptotic genes (P < 0.001). The du-HITI technique incorporated a reporter and a transcription termination marker into the two target alleles. Both donor vector preparation and cell selection were substantially simpler using this approach than with "CRISPR HDR" or "CRISPR excision." Furthermore, single-cell knockouts for both genotypes were created when this method was applied in the initial transfection experiment. CONCLUSIONS The NOX4 Knockout cell lines generated in this research may be used for additional analytical studies to reveal the entire spectrum of NOX4 activities. The du-HITI method described in this study was easy to employ and could produce homozygous individuals who were knockout for a specific protein of interest.

Abstract
The analysis of large amounts of data is important for the development of machine learning (ML) models. flowSim is the first algorithm designed to visualize, detect and remove highly redundant information in flow cytometry (FCM) training sets to decrease the computational time for training and increase the performance of ML algorithms by reducing overfitting. flowSim performs near duplicate image detection by combining community detection algorithms with the density analysis of the marker expression values. flowSim clustering compared to consensus manual clustering on a dataset composed of 160 images of bivariate FCM data had a mean Adjusted Rand Index of 0.90, demonstrating its efficiency in identifying similar patterns. flowSim selectively discarded near duplicate files in datasets constructed with known redundancy, and removed 92.6% of FCM images in a dataset of over 500,000 drawn from public repositories.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate whether prophylactic use of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage in endovascular descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (DTAA) and thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair contributes to a lower rate of post-operative spinal cord ischaemia (SCI). DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL. REVIEW METHODS A literature review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO registration no. CRD42021245893). Risk of bias was assessed through the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS), and the certainty of evidence was graded using the GRADE approach. A proportion meta-analysis was conducted to calculate the pooled rate and 95% confidence interval (CI) of both early and late onset SCI. Pooled outcome estimates were calculated using the odds ratio (OR) and associated 95% CI. The primary outcome was SCI, both early and lateonset. Secondary outcomes were complications of CSF drainage, length of hospital stay, and peri-operative (30 day or in hospital) mortality rates. RESULTS Twenty-eight observational, retrospective studies were included, reporting 4 814 patients (2 599 patients with and 2 215 without CSF drainage). The NOS showed a moderate risk of bias. The incidence of SCI was similar in patients with CSF drainage (0.05, 95% CI 0.03 ‒ 0.08) and without CSF drainage (0.05, 95% CI 0.00 ‒ 0.14). No significant decrease in SCI was found when using CSF drainage (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.29 ‒ 1.55, p = .35). The incidence rate of CSF drainage related complication was 0.10 (95% CI 0.04 ‒ 0.19). The 30 day and in hospital mortality rate with CSF drainage was 0.08 (95% CI 0.05 ‒ 0.12). The 30 day and in hospital mortality rate without CSF drainage and comparison with late mortality and length of hospital stay could not be determined due to lack of data. The quality of evidence was considered very low. CONCLUSION Pre-operative CSF drainage placement was not related to a favourable outcome regarding SCI rate in endovascular TAAA and DTAA repair. Due to the low quality of evidence, no clear recommendation on pre-operative use of CSF drainage placement can be made.

Abstract
Introduction COVID-19 has profoundly impacted the mental health and well-being of pregnant women worldwide. In Ethiopia, the poor sleep quality and suicidal ideation among pregnant women has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to provide comprehensive evidence on the prevalence and associated factors of poor sleep quality and suicidal ideation among pregnant women during COVID-19 in Ethiopia. Materials and Methods This study is based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendation. Data were searched from PubMed, Google Scholar, and African Journals Online from the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic to February 2023. Two researchers extracted the data and performed the methodological quality assessment independently. Random-effect model was used to estimate the pooled effect size and I2was used to check heterogeneity. Stata 14.0 (StataCorp, Collage Station, Texas, USA) was used for statistical analysis. Results From six studies the pooled prevalence of poor sleep quality was 55% (95% CI [0.42-0.69], I2 = 98.1%, p < 0.001). Age ≥ 30 years pooled AOR = 1.95, 95% CI (0.85, 3.06), 3rd trimester pooled AOR = 3.20, 95% CI (1.82, 4.58), substance use pooled AOR = 2.51, 95% CI (0.99, 4.04), depression pooled AOR = 2.97, 95% CI (0.92, 5.02) and stress pooled AOR 2.14, 95% CI (0.24, 4.03) were associated factors of poor sleep quality. Three studies reported about suicidal ideation and pooled prevalence was 11% (95% CI: 0.09, 0.13, I2 = 48.2%, p = 0.145). Depression pooled AOR = 3.19, 95% CI (1.68, 4.71) was the only associated factor of suicidal ideation. Conclusion Due to COVID-19 pregnant women in Ethiopia were affected by poor sleep quality and suicidal ideation. Thus, suitable and well designed programs proposing awareness of COVID-19, mental health counseling and involvement should be designed to improve the general mental health of pregnant women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Researchers performing high-quality systematic reviews search across multiple databases to identify relevant evidence. However, the same publication is often retrieved from several databases. Identifying and removing such duplicates ("deduplication") can be extremely time-consuming, but failure to remove these citations can lead to the wrongful inclusion of duplicate data. Many existing tools are not sensitive enough, lack interoperability with other tools, are not freely accessible, or are difficult to use without programming knowledge. Here, we report the performance of our Automated Systematic Search Deduplicator (ASySD), a novel tool to perform automated deduplication of systematic searches for biomedical reviews. METHODS We evaluated ASySD's performance on 5 unseen biomedical systematic search datasets of various sizes (1845-79,880 citations). We compared the performance of ASySD with EndNote's automated deduplication option and with the Systematic Review Assistant Deduplication Module (SRA-DM). RESULTS ASySD identified more duplicates than either SRA-DM or EndNote, with a sensitivity in different datasets of 0.95 to 0.99. The false-positive rate was comparable to human performance, with a specificity of > 0.99. The tool took less than 1 h to identify and remove duplicates within each dataset. CONCLUSIONS For duplicate removal in biomedical systematic reviews, ASySD is a highly sensitive, reliable, and time-saving tool. It is open source and freely available online as both an R package and a user-friendly web application.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Whether the use of osseodensification burs for indirect sinus lift improves primary implant stability and bone height as compared with the osteotome technique to overcome the challenges of the pneumatization of the maxillary sinus and vertical bone loss after extraction in the edentulous posterior maxilla is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the difference in primary implant stability and increase in bone height in indirect sinus lift using osseodensification and the osteotome technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two independent reviewers searched the MEDLINE/PubMed, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library databases and the Google Scholar Search engine for randomized clinical trials, nonrandomized clinical trials, and cross-sectional studies published from 2000 to 2022 to identify relevant studies evaluating the primary implant stability and increase in bone height in indirect sinus lift using osseodensification and the osteotome technique. A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the cumulative data on primary implant stability and increase in bone height. RESULTS A total of 8521 titles were obtained by electronic database search, of which 75 were duplicates. A total of 8446 abstracts were screened, and 8411 that were not relevant to the topic were excluded. Thirty-five articles were eligible for full-text assessment. After the screening of full-text articles as per the selection criteria, 26 studies were excluded. For qualitative synthesis, 9 studies were included. For quantitative synthesis, 5 studies were included. For an increase in bone height, no statistically significant difference was observed (I2 = 89%, P=.15, pooled mean difference=0.30 [-0.11, 0.70], CI=95%). For primary implant stability, the osseodensification group showed higher values than the osteotome group (I2 = 20%, P<.001, pooled mean difference=10.61 [7.14, 14.08], CI=95%). CONCLUSIONS The evidence obtained from quantitative analysis of the studies determined that the osseodensification group showed higher primary implant stability than the osteotome group (P<.05). However, for mean increase in bone height, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aims to systematically review current evidence on ablative margins and correlation to local tumor progression (LTP) after thermal ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). METHODS A systematic search was performed in PubMed (MEDLINE) and Web of Science to identify all studies that reported on ablative margins (AM) and related LTP rates. Studies were assessed for risk of bias and synthesized separately per tumor type. Where possible, results were pooled to calculate risk differences (RD) as function of AM. RESULTS In total, 2910 articles were identified of which 43 articles were eligible for final analysis. There was high variability in AM measurement methodology across studies in terms of measurement technique, imaging modalities, and timing. Most common margin stratification was < 5 mm and > 5 mm, for which data were available in 25/43 studies (58%). Of these, all studies favored AM > 5 mm to reduce the risk of LTP, with absolute RD of 16% points for HCC and 47% points for CRLM as compared to AM < 5 mm. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence supports AM > 5 mm to reduce the risk of LTP after thermal ablation of HCC and CRLM. However, standardization of AM measurement and reporting is critical to allow future meta-analyses and improved identification of optimal threshold value for clinical use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Native vertebral osteomyelitis (NVO) is a severe infection with an increasing incidence globally. Although there is no widely agreed upon reference standard for diagnosis of the disease, imaging plays a crucial role. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently the imaging modality of choice. In recent years, advances in imaging have allowed for a larger role for alternative imaging techniques in the setting of NVO. PURPOSE Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MRI, PET/CT, and nuclear imaging, namely 67Gallium and 99mTechnetium scintigraphy, in the diagnosis of pyogenic NVO. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING We conducted a systematic review of five medical databases and included all studies from 1970 to September 2021 that compared imaging techniques and provided sufficient data for diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis. METHODS Abstract screening, full text review, and data extraction were done by a pair of independent reviewers. Nonnative and nonpyogenic patients were excluded. A bivariate random effect model was used for meta-analysis. RESULTS Twenty studies were included in the meta-analysis, encompassing a total of 1,123 imaging studies. The meta-analysis sensitivity and specificity of MRI were 90% and 72% respectively; those of PET/CT were 93% and 80%; those of 67Ga were 95% and 88%; those of 99mTc were 86% and 39%; and the sensitivity and specificity of combined Ga and Tc were 91% and 92% respectively in the setting of suspected NVO. CONCLUSIONS 67Ga has the highest sensitivity for NVO, and its specificity is augmented when combined with 99mTc. MRI and PET/CT are both highly sensitive modalities, although the specificity of PET/CT is slightly better. MRI remains an appropriate initial test depending on the availability of other modalities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of different interventions in reducing pain-related fear outcomes in people with knee osteoarthritis who have or have not had previous knee surgery, and to analyze whether included trials reported their interventions in full detail. METHODS Systematic searches were carried out in the Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL, EMBASE, PEDro, PsycINFO, PubMed, and SPORTDiscus from the inception of the database up to November 2019. Searches were manually updated to July 2021. We included randomized clinical trials that evaluated pain-related fear outcomes as a primary or secondary outcome in adults with knee osteoarthritis. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2 and the GRADE approach evaluated the risk of bias and the certainty of the evidence, respectively. RESULTS Eighteen trials were included. Four trials evaluated pain-related fear as a primary outcome and all evaluated kinesiophobia in samples that had previously undergone a knee surgical procedure. These trials found that interventions based primarily on cognitive aspects (e.g. cognitive-behavioral principles) can be effective in reducing kinesiophobia. Trials evaluating pain-related fear as the secondary outcome also found that interventions that included cognitive aspects (e.g. pain neuroscience education) decreased the levels of pain-related fear (e.g. fear of falling or kinesiophobia) in patients with or without a previous knee surgery. However, serious to very serious risk of bias and imprecisions were found in included trials. Thus, the certainty of the evidence was judged as low and very low using the GRADE approach. All trials reported insufficient details to allow a complete replication of their interventions. CONCLUSIONS Interventions that include cognitive aspects may be the best option to reduce pain-related fear in people with knee osteoarthritis. However, we found a general low and very low certainty of the evidence and the findings should be considered with caution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Work participation is a crucial aspect of health outcome and an important part of life for most people with rare genetic diseases. Despite that work participation is a social determinant of health and seems necessary for understanding health behaviours and quality of life, it is an under-researched and under-recognized aspect in many rare diseases. The objectives of this study was to map and describe existing research on work participation, identify research gaps, and point to research agendas in a selection of rare genetic diseases. METHODS A scoping review was performed by searching relevant literature in bibliographic databases and other sources. Studies addressing work participation in people with rare genetic diseases published in peer reviewed journals were assessed using EndNote and Rayyan. Data were mapped and extracted based on the research questions concerning the characteristics of the research. RESULTS Of 19,867 search results, 571 articles were read in full text, and 141 satisfied the eligibility criteria covering 33 different rare genetic diseases; 7 were reviews and 134 primary research articles. In 21% of the articles the primary aim was to investigate work participation. The extent of studies varied between the different diseases. Two diseases had more than 20 articles, but most had only one or two articles. Cross-sectional quantitative studies were predominant, with few utilizing prospective or qualitative design. Nearly all articles (96%) reported information about work participation rate, and 45% also included information about factors associated with work participation and work disability. Due to differences in methodologies, cultures and respondents, comparison between and within diseases are difficult. Nevertheless, studies indicated that many people with different rare genetic diseases experience challenges related to work, closely associated to the symptoms of the disease. CONCLUSION While studies indicate high prevalence of work disability in many patients with rare diseases, the research is scarce and fragmented. More research is warranted. Information about the unique challenges of living with different rare diseases is crucial for health and welfare systems to better facilitate work participation. In addition, the changing nature of work in the digital age, may also open up new possibilities for people with rare genetic diseases and should be explored.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are used for their properties such as stain and water resistance. The substances have been associated with adverse health outcomes in both pregnant mothers and infants, including pre-eclampsia and low birthweight. A growing body of research suggests that PFAS are transferred from mother to fetus through the placenta, leading to in utero exposure. A systematic review was performed using the PubMed database to search for studies evaluating determinants of PFAS concentrations in blood matrices of pregnant mothers and neonates shortly after birth. Studies were included in this review if an observational study design was utilized, exposure to at least one PFAS analyte was measured, PFAS were measured in maternal or neonatal matrices, at least one determinant of PFAS concentrations was assessed, and results such as beta estimates were provided. We identified 35 studies for inclusion in the review and evaluated the PFAS and determinant relationships among the factors collected in these studies. Parity, breastfeeding history, maternal race and country of origin, and household income had the strongest and most consistent evidence to support their roles as determinants of certain PFAS concentrations in pregnant mothers. Reported study findings on smoking status, alcohol consumption, and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) suggest that these factors are not important determinants of PFAS concentrations in pregnant mothers or neonates. Further study into informative factors such as consumer product use, detailed dietary information, and consumed water sources as potential determinants of maternal or neonatal PFAS concentrations is needed. Research on determinants of maternal or neonatal PFAS concentrations is critical to estimate past PFAS exposure, build improved exposure models, and further our understanding on dose-response relationships, which can influence epidemiological studies and risk assessment evaluations. Given the potential for adverse outcomes in pregnant mothers and neonates exposed to PFAS, it is important to identify and understand determinants of maternal and neonatal PFAS concentrations to better implement public health interventions in these populations.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Domestic violence (DV) is a public health crisis that threatens both the mental and physical health of people. With the unprecedented surge in data available on the internet and electronic health record systems, leveraging machine learning (ML) to detect obscure changes and predict the likelihood of DV from digital text data is a promising area health science research. However, there is a paucity of research discussing and reviewing ML applications in DV research. METHODS We extracted 3588 articles from four databases. Twenty-two articles met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS Twelve articles used the supervised ML method, seven articles used the unsupervised ML method, and three articles applied both. Most studies were published in Australia (n = 6) and the United States (n = 4). Data sources included social media, professional notes, national databases, surveys, and newspapers. Random forest (n = 9), support vector machine (n = 8), and naïve Bayes (n = 7) were the top three algorithms, while the most used automatic algorithm for unsupervised ML in DV research was latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) for topic modeling (n = 2). Eight types of outcomes were identified, while three purposes of ML and challenges were delineated and are discussed. CONCLUSIONS Leveraging the ML method to tackle DV holds unprecedented potential, especially in classification, prediction, and exploration tasks, and particularly when using social media data. However, adoption challenges, data source issues, and lengthy data preparation times are the main bottlenecks in this context. To overcome those challenges, early ML algorithms have been developed and evaluated on DV clinical data.

Abstract
The aim of this review was to identify factors influencing the quality of life (QoL) of young people providing care for family members with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and/or mental health and substance abuse problems (young unpaid carers; YC), as well as the social-care related QoL measures. Focused and broad search strategies were performed in four databases, identifying 3145 articles. Following screening, lateral searches, and quality appraisal, 54 studies were included for synthesis. An inductive approach was used to synthesise the findings, grouping factors associated with YC QoL into interrelated themes: "perceived normality of role and identifying as a carer", "social support from formal and unpaid networks", "caring demands and their impact", and "coping strategies". No social-care related QoL measures for YC were found. This systematic review provides groundwork for the development of such a tool and emphasises the need for further studies allowing the investigation of the interrelated factors affecting YC QoL.

Abstract
PURPOSE The main objective of the present systematic review is to quantify the relationship between the room acoustics and self-reported vocal fatigue. METHODS A comprehensive literature search and systematic review were conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Direct, Web of Science, EBSCO, and Scopus databases. Two inclusion criteria were defined: (1) description of a relationship between the room acoustics and self-reported vocal fatigue; and (2) reporting of raw data and/or a statistic of the association between the variables. Risk of bias in the included studies was assessed via the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies Effective Public Health Practice Project. The occurrences and frequencies of the most common parameters in the literature are presented, and a quantitative summary of their relationships is reported. RESULTS In total, 12 publications met the inclusion criteria. The most relevant measures of self-reported vocal fatigue were the Vocal Fatigue Index (n = 3), Vocal Signs and Symptoms Questionnaire (n = 1), and vocal fatigue visual analog scales (n = 2). The most relevant room acoustic parameters include noise conditions (n = 6) and reverberation time (n = 2). The relationships between the room acoustic parameters and self-reported vocal fatigue are quantified and reported while maintaining the concepts stated in the original articles and outlining their similarities. CONCLUSION Overall, background noise and reverberation time were determined to be the most significant independent variables associated with self-reported vocal fatigue. A primary limitation of the evidence was inconsistent measures of self-reported vocal fatigue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mental health has become an increasingly significant issue in the workplace. Non-health care workers are experiencing increased levels of psychological symptoms in their workplaces, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited social interactions and health service access. These conditions have a negative effect on employees' mental health and may also be associated with work-related outcomes, such as reduced levels of work engagement. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective methods used for treating workers with mental illness and preventing work-related psychological outcomes. The delivery of internet-based CBT (iCBT) has been established as a result of both technological improvements that have influenced health promotion and prevention components, and limited social contact and health service access. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this systematic review is to synthesize the best available evidence concerning the preventive effect of iCBT on employees. METHODS A systematic search will be conducted across 12 electronic databases, including a hand search for main journals and reference lists. Randomized controlled trials testing the effects of iCBT on psychological outcomes and work engagement among employees will be eligible. Initial keywords will cover the concepts of employees, workers, non-health care personnel, internet-based, web-based, eHealth cognitive behavioral interventions, stress, depression, anxiety, and work engagement, and then a full search strategy will be developed. Following titles, abstracts and the full text will be screened for assessment against the inclusion criteria for the review. Search results will be fully reported and presented per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Two independent reviewers will screen and extract data, appraise methodological quality using the Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool, and assess overall quality of evidence with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. A random effects meta-analysis and standardized mean differences using review manager software will be applied to synthesize the effect of iCBT based on similar outcomes. RESULTS This protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews in March 2022 and is now an ongoing process. The data will be analyzed in August 2022, and the review process should be completed by December 2022. All included studies will be synthesized and presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of iCBT in decreasing psychological distress and optimizing work engagement outcomes among employees. CONCLUSIONS According to the findings of this study, iCBT therapies will be used to promote mental health concerns such as depressive symptoms, anxiety, psychological distress, stress, insomnia, and resilience among non-health care professionals. In addition, the results will be used to ensure the policy related to reducing psychological distress and optimizing work engagement in the workplace.

Abstract
An overview of systematic reviews with meta-analysis was developed to summarize evidence on the effectiveness of prenatal yoga-based interventions on pain, psychological symptoms, and quality of life during pregnancy. CINAHL (via EBSCOhost), Embase, PubMed, SPORTDiscus (via EBSCOhost), and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to 15 December 2022. The intervention of interest was any prenatal yoga-based intervention. Pain, psychological symptoms, and quality of life were considered as outcome measures. The methodological quality of systematic reviews was judged using AMSTAR 2. The primary study overlap among systematic reviews was evaluated, building a citation matrix and calculating the corrected covered area (CCA). A total of ten systematic reviews, including fifteen meta-analyses of interest and comprising 32 distinct primary clinical trials, were included. Meta-analyses on pain and quality of life were not found. Most meta-analyses (93%) showed that prenatal yoga-based interventions are more effective than control interventions in reducing anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms. However, the overall methodological quality of systematic reviews was judged as critically low, and primary study overlap among systematic reviews was very high (CCA = 16%). Altogether, prenatal yoga-based interventions could improve the mental health of pregnant women, although due to the important methodological flaws that were detected, future systematic reviews should improve their methodological quality before drawing firm conclusions on this topic.

Abstract
Introduction Healthcare professionals play a great role in the struggle against COVID-19. They are highly susceptible to COVID-19 due to their responsibilities. This susceptibility directly affects their mental health status. Comprehensive evidence on prevalence of depression and insomnia during this pandemic is vital. Thus, this study aims to provide the pooled prevalence of depression and insomnia, and their associated factors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods This systematic review and meta-analysis follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies were searched from PubMed, Cochrane Library, CrossRef, African Journals Online and Google Scholar databases from the occurence of the pandemic to June 2022. Study selection, data extraction and methodological quality assessment were done by two authors independently. The I 2 statistics was used for testing heterogeneity. A random effect model was used. Stata version 16.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results Eight studies were incorporated for this systematic review and meta-analysis. From seven studies the pooled prevalence of depression was 40% (95% CI [0.23-0.57]; I 2 = 99.00%; P = 0.00). From three studies the pooled prevalence of insomnia was 35% (95% CI [0.13-0.58]; I 2 = 98.20; P = 0.00). Associated factors of depression on healthcare workers (HCWs) were being female pooled AOR: 2.09; 95% CI [1.41-2.76], been married (pooled AOR = 2.95; 95% CI [1.83-4.07]). Due to limited studies available on the factors associated with insomnia, it is impossible to pool and associated factors were presented in narrative synthesis. Conclusion COVID-19 is highly associated with the prevalence of depression and insomnia among healthcare professionals in Ethiopia. The pooled prevalence of depression and insomnia were significantly higher among healthcare professionals. Appropriate psychological counseling package should be realized for healthcare workers (HCWs) in order to recover the general mental health problems. Trial registration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Here, we examined the accuracy measures of a set of automated deduplication tools to identify duplicate in the eligibility process of systematic reviews. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING A planned search strategy was carried out on seven electronic databases until May 31, 2021. Using manual search as the reference standard, we assessed sensibility, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value (PPV). RESULTS Specificity ranged from 0.96 to 1.00. Rayyan, Mendeley, and Systematic Review Accelerator (SRA) presented high sensibility (0.98 [95% CI = 0.94-1.00]; 0.93 [95% CI = 0.88-0.97] and 0.90 [95% CI = 0.84-0.95], respectively), whereas EndNote X9 and Zotero had only fair sensitivity (0.73 [95% CI = 0.65-0.80] and 0.74 [95% CI = 0.66-0.81], respectively). Negative predictive value ranged from 0.99 to 1.00. Mendeley and SRA had good PPV (0.93 [95% CI = 0.88-0.97] and 0.99 [95% CI = 0.96-1.00], respectively). PPV was fair for EndNote X9 (0.61 [95% CI = 0.54-0.69]) and Zotero (0.62 [95% CI = 0.54-0.69]) and poor for Rayyan (0.41 [95% CI = 0.36-0.47]). CONCLUSION Choosing the most suitable tool depends on its interface's characteristics, the algorithm to identify and exclude duplicates, and the transparency of the process. Therefore, Rayyan, Mendeley, and SRA proved to be accurate enough for the systematic reviews' deduplication step.

Abstract
The aim was to assess the impact of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on patients with musculoskeletal disorders. We conducted a search of Medline, Embase, PEDro, and Google Scholar. We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the effectiveness of HIIT on pain intensity, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max), disability, and quality of life (QoL). We employed the GRADE and PEDro scales to rate the quality, certainty, and applicability of the evidence. Results showed significant differences in pain intensity, with a moderate clinical-effect (SMD = −0.73; 95% CI: −1.40–−0.06), and in VO2 max, with a moderate clinical-effect (SMD = 0.69; 95% CI: 0.42–0.97). However, the meta-analysis showed no statistically significant results for disability (SMD = −0.34; 95% CI: −0.92–0.24) and QoL (SMD = 0.40; 95% CI: −0.80–1.60). We compared HIIT against other exercise models for reducing pain intensity and increasing VO2 max. The meta-analysis showed no significant differences in favour of HIIT. Meta-regression analysis revealed that pain intensity scores were negatively associated with VO2 max (R2 = 82.99%, p = 0.003). There is low-moderate evidence that the HIIT intervention for patients with musculoskeletal disorders can reduce pain intensity and increase VO2 max but has no effect on disability and QoL. Results also showed that HIIT was not superior to other exercise models in reducing pain intensity and increasing VO2 max.

Abstract
An umbrella review of systematic reviews with a meta-analysis was developed to summarize the evidence on the effectiveness of qigong, tai chi, and yoga in chronic spinal pain outcomes. The CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed and SPORTDiscus databases were searched. Pain, psychological factors, and quality of life (QOL) were the outcomes of interest. The methodological quality of the reviews was evaluated using the AMSTAR-2 tool. The overlap was calculated using the corrected covered area. A total of 72 meta-analyses drawn from 20 systematic reviews were included and often were rated at a critically low quality. The effects of qigong on chronic low back and neck pain (CLBP and CNP, respectively) were inconsistent, although it improved the physical component of QOL after 12 weeks for CNP. Tai chi was superior to the controls in reducing CLBP; no reviews of interest were found on CNP. Yoga was superior to multiple controls in reducing CLBP, but no relevant effects on depression or QOL were found. QOL, anxiety, depression, and general mood improved with yoga for CNP. Inconsistencies arose related to yoga and CNP. Our findings mainly supported the potential effects of yoga and tai chi on pain-related outcomes, psychological factors, and QOL in populations with CLBP and NP. Clinical and methodological considerations were discussed.

Abstract
Patients with lower leg chronic exertional compartment syndrome are impaired due to exercise-related pain. Fasciotomy is the surgical gold standard. However, it is unknown whether number of simultaneously opened compartments affects outcome. The purpose of this systematic review was to compare patient-reported outcomes of a 2-compartment fasciotomy with a 4-compartment fasciotomy. Controlled clinical trials (randomized/nonrandomized), cohort studies and case series reporting on outcome following either 2-compartment or 4-compartment fasciotomy for lower leg chronic exertional compartment syndrome were searched until May 31, 2021 in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane. Results were qualitatively synthesized. Risk of bias and levels of evidence were determined. Seven studies reporting on altogether 194 athletes and military personnel (mean age 24 y) were included. Quality assessment revealed a high risk of bias in all studies. Both 2-compartment and 4-compartment fasciotomy were associated with a 50% to 100% "return to activity" rate (in studies reporting group results separately: 2-compartment 90%-100%; 4-compartment 50%-100%) and a 41% to 100% "return to previous activity" rate (in studies reporting group results separately: 2-compartment 82-100%; 4-compartment 50%-100%) without significant differences. Mean Marx activity score of 1 study found a small significant standardized mean difference (0.196 [0.524,0.916]) favoring 4-compartment fasciotomy. Rate of satisfaction (2-compartment 74%-89%; 4-compartment 75%-100%) and residual symptoms (2-compartment 0%-36%; 4-compartment 0%-50%) indicated no group differences. In conclusion, a 2-compartment fasciotomy or a 4-compartment fasciotomy for lower leg chronic exertional compartment syndrome appears to be equally successful. However, included studies were hampered by methodological shortcomings (low sample size, selection bias, heterogeneity and no uniform outcome measures).

Abstract
Enterprise adoption and application of sentiment analytics (SA) has recently attracted significant interest from both academia and industry, as it offers exciting opportunities to generate competitive intelligence on consumer attitudes and opinions. Yet, there is limited understanding of the factors underlying successful and widespread adoption of SA in enterprises. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) to analyze and summarize previous research on corporate adoption of SA in social media. The SLR examines the results of 83 studies and focuses on tasks, techniques, application domains, and factors that influence enterprise adoption of SA. The findings provide insights into (i) key factors influencing SA adoption, (ii) research trends and paradigms across disciplines, and (iii) potential areas for future research on enterprise adoption of SA. These findings recommend actionable future research agendas for scholars and inform practitioners' understanding of the decision-making processes involved in enterprise adoption of SA in social media.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lack of clarity regarding effective communication behaviors in chronic pain management is a barrier for implementing psychologically informed physical therapy approaches that rely on competent communication by physical therapist providers. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-synthesis to inform the development of a conceptual framework for preferred communication behaviors in pain rehabilitation. METHODS Ten databases in the health and communication sciences were systematically searched for qualitative and mixed-method studies of interpersonal communication between physical therapists and adults with chronic pain. Two independent investigators extracted quotations with implicit and explicit references to communication and study characteristics following Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research and Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines. Methodological quality for individual studies was assessed with Critical Appraisal Skills Programme, and quality of evidence was evaluated with GRADE-CERQual. An inductive thematic synthesis was conducted by coding each quotation, developing descriptive themes, and then generating behaviorally distinct analytical themes. RESULTS Eleven studies involving 346 participants were included. The specificity of operationalizing communication terms varied widely. Meta-synthesis identified 8 communication themes: (1) disclosure-facilitating, (2) rapport-building, (3) empathic, (4) collaborative, (5) professional accountability, (6) informative, (7) agenda-setting, and (8) meta-communication. Based on the quality of available evidence, confidence was moderate for 4 themes and low for 4 themes. CONCLUSION This study revealed limited operationalization of communication behaviors preferred by physical therapists in chronic pain rehabilitation. A conceptual framework based on 8 communication themes identified from the literature is proposed as a preliminary paradigm to guide future research. IMPACT This proposed evidence-based conceptual framework for preferred communication behaviors in pain rehabilitation provides a framework for clinicians to reflect on their own communication practices and will allow researchers to identify if and how specific communication behaviors impact clinical outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the effects of pain neuroscience education (PNE) on patients with fibromyalgia (FM) in terms of pain intensity, fibromyalgia impact, anxiety, and pain catastrophizing. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was conducted. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated with RStudio software for relevant outcomes and were pooled in a meta-analysis using the random effects model. RESULTS A total of 8 studies were included. The meta-analysis showed statistically significant differences in the pain intensity with a moderate clinical effect in 7 studies in the post-intervention assessment (SMD:-0.76; 95% CI:-1.33- -0.19; p < 0.05) with evidence of significant heterogeneity (p < 0.05, I2=92%) but not in fibromyalgia impact, anxiety, and pain catastrophizing (p > 0.05). Regarding the follow-up assessment, only the fibromyalgia impact showed significant improvements with a very small clinical effect in 9 studies (SMD:-0.44; 95% CI:-0.73- -0.14; p < 0.05) with evidence of significant heterogeneity (p < 0.05, I2 = 80%). Applying a sensitivity analysis with the PNE face-to-face interventions, the meta-analysis showed a significant decrease of pain intensity with a moderate clinical effect at post-intervention and follow-up without evidence of significant heterogeneity (p < 0.05, I2=10%). CONCLUSIONS There is low quality evidence that in patients with FM, PNE can decrease the pain intensity post-intervention and also the fibromyalgia impact in the follow-up. However, it appears that PNE showed no effect on anxiety and pain catastrophizing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize (1) the emotions, cognitions, and behaviors of people who are living with musculoskeletal disorders related to symptoms and (2) the interactions of emotions, cognitions, and behaviors with the person's environment (family, social, and work roles). DESIGN An umbrella review of qualitative research syntheses and meta-summaries (metasynthesis, meta-ethnographies, meta-aggregation, meta-summary). LITERATURE SEARCH We searched CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycARTICLES, PsycEXTRA, PsycINFO, PubMed, and PubPsych from database inception to January 2021. We also searched gray literature via Open Grey and Google Scholar. STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA We included qualitative evidence syntheses evaluating adults with musculoskeletal disorders, based on the multidimensional diagnostic criteria for acute and chronic pain. Emotions, cognitions, and behaviors were the phenomenon of interest. DATA SYNTHESIS We developed 3 categories of themes ([1] emotions, [2] cognitions, and [3] behaviors) for each objective. We selected the 3 most common emotions, cognitions, and behaviors that appear as themes in our narrative synthesis. RESULTS We included 20 qualitative evidence syntheses that retrieved 284 original qualitative studies. Despair, distress, and fear were the main emotions reported by people living with musculoskeletal disorders. The alterations of the self and how people described their symptoms, what caused them, and how the symptoms impacted their lives were the most common cognitions. Cognitive strategies (ie, acceptance) and perceptions about social support emerged. People often used passive behaviors (eg, social isolation or hiding symptoms) to cope with the challenges that arose related to musculoskeletal symptoms. However, some people actively faced their symptoms, planning their activities or practicing them despite their symptoms. CONCLUSION Clinicians who support people living with musculoskeletal disorders should consider (1) assessing other emotions than pain-related fear (eg, despair and distress), (2) observing their cognitive responses (ie, acceptance), and (3) evaluating what type of behaviors people use (eg, active or passive).

Abstract
The data management process is characterised by a set of tasks where data quality management (DQM) is one of the core components. Data quality, however, is a multidimensional concept, where the nature of the data quality issues is very diverse. One of the most widely anticipated data quality challenges, which becomes particularly vital when data come from multiple data sources which is a typical situation in the current data-driven world, is duplicates or non-uniqueness. Even more, duplicates were recognised to be one of the key domain-specific data quality dimensions in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) application domains, where smart grids and health dominate most. Duplicate data lead to inaccurate analyses, leading to wrong decisions, negatively affect data-driven and/or data processing activities such as the development of models, forecasts, simulations, have a negative impact on customer service, risk and crisis management, service personalisation in terms of both their accuracy and trustworthiness, decrease user adoption and satisfaction, etc. The process of determination and elimination of duplicates is known as deduplication, while the process of finding duplicates in one or more databases that refer to the same entities is known as Record Linkage. To find the duplicates, the data sets are compared with each other using similarity functions that are usually used to compare two input strings to find similarities between them, which requires quadratic time complexity. To defuse the quadratic complexity of the problem, especially in large data sources, record linkage methods, such as blocking and sorted neighbourhood, are used. In this paper, we propose a six-step record linkage deduplication framework. The operation of the framework is demonstrated on a simplified example of research data artifacts, such as publications, research projects and others of the real-world research institution representing Research Information Systems (RIS) domain. To make the proposed framework usable we integrated it into a tool that is already used in practice, by developing a prototype of an extension for the well-known DataCleaner. The framework detects and visualises duplicates thereby identifying and providing the user with identified redundancies in a user-friendly manner allowing their further elimination. By removing the redundancies, the quality of the data is improved therefore improving analyses and decision-making. This study makes a call for other researchers to take a step towards the “golden record” that can be achieved when all data quality issues are recognised and resolved, thus moving towards absolute data quality.

Abstract
Numerous studies addressed the topic of behavioral and symptomatic changes in eating disorders. Rates of transition vary widely across studies, ranging from 0 to 70.8%, depending on the diagnoses taken into account and the study design. Evidence shows that the specific transition from restrictive-type anorexia nervosa (AN-R) to disorders involving binging and purging behaviors (BPB) is related to a worsening of the clinical picture and worse long-term outcomes. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to focus on this specific transition, review existing literature, and summarize related risk factors. Medline and PsycINFO databases were searched, including prospective and retrospective studies on individuals with AN-R. The primary outcome considered was the rate of onset of BPB. Twelve studies (N = 725 patients) were included in the qualitative and quantitative analysis. A total of 41.84% (95% CI 33.58-50.11) of patients with AN-R manifested BPB at some point during follow-up. Risk factors for the onset of BPB included potentially treatable and untreatable factors such as the family environment, unipolar depression and higher premorbid BMI. These findings highlight that patients with AN-R frequently transition to BPB over time, with a worsening of the clinical picture. Existing studies in this field are still insufficient and heterogeneous, and further research is needed. Mental health professionals should be aware of the frequent onset of BPB in AN-R and its risk factors and take this information into account in the treatment of AN-R. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Evidence obtained from a systematic review and meta-analysis, Level I.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main aim of this study was to assess through systematic review the efficacy of exercise and manual therapy (MT) interventions in individuals with primary headache. METHODS In this umbrella review, 2 authors reviewed systematic reviews by searching the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE, PEDro, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Systematic reviews that evaluated the effectiveness of MT. Exercise-based interventions, or both in patients with primary headaches were included. Methodological quality was analyzed using the ROBIS scale, and the strength of evidence was established according to the Grading Criteria of the Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee. RESULTS Thirty-one systematic reviews containing 79 trials and involving 9103 patients were included. The 7 exercise-related systematic reviews reported beneficial effects on primary headache based on unclear to moderate evidence. Of the 23 MT-related systematic reviews, 11 reported enhanced effectiveness compared with usual care; however, overall heterogeneity and risk of bias were high. Systematic reviews that evaluated the effectiveness of MT, exercise-based interventions, or both in patients with primary headaches were included. CONCLUSION Results show that exercise could be an effective therapy for the treatment of primary headache, with moderate to limited quality of evidence regarding the positive effects in terms of pain intensity and frequency and duration of headache. Moderate quality of evidence was found regarding the ability of MT to reduce pain intensity in patients with tension-type headaches, but quality of evidence was limited in terms of frequency of headache and disability and pain reduction in patients with migraine. IMPACT Exercise could be an effective treatment in patients with primary headache. Manual therapy showed limited evidence to reduce pain intensity in patients with tension-type headache. It is not possible to establish a preferential exercise protocol or MT program, so psychosocial and behavioral variables need to be considered in future studies.

Abstract
Adequate adoption of evidence-based practice is deeply rooted in accessing methodological quality and completeness of systematic reviews and meta-analyses reporting. Nonetheless, this assumption might be flawed if the methodological quality assessment has not been properly conducted. Taking the former statement into consideration, this correspondence article encourages the improvement of future tertiary manuscripts, especially in the field of restorative dentistry. Thus, this article addresses an overview of reviews in restorative dentistry as an example of evaluating tertiary evidence for increasing the awareness of reviewers, authors, and readers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective was to assess the impact of movement representation techniques (MRT) through motor imagery (MI), action observation (AO) and visual mirror feedback (VMF) and cross-education training (CE) on strength, range of motion (ROM), speed, functional state and balance during experimental immobilization processes in healthy individuals, in patients with injuries that did not require surgery and in those with surgical processes that did or did not require immobilization. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and Google Scholar were searched. Thirteen meta-analyses were conducted. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Regarding the immobilized participants, in the healthy individuals, MI showed significant results regarding maintenance of strength and ROM, with low-quality evidence. Regarding the process with no immobilization, VMF and MI techniques showed significant changes in maintaining ROM in patients with injury without surgery, with very low-quality evidence. Results had shown that MI demonstrated significantly higher maintenance of strength and speed in patients undergoing surgery, with low-quality evidence. No significant results were found in ROM. Low-quality evidence showed better results in AO plus usual care compared with usual treatment in isolation with respect to maintenance of functional state and balance. CE training demonstrated maintenance of strength in patients undergoing surgery, with moderate evidence; however, not in healthy experimentally immobilized individuals. VMF did not show significant results in maintaining ROM after surgery without immobilization, nor did MI in maintaining strength after surgery and immobilization. CONCLUSIONS MRT and CE training have been shown to have a significant impact on the improvement of various motor variables and on physical maintenance in general.

Abstract
The primary aim of this study was to review the effect of exercise in comparison with a non-active treatment on pain intensity, frequency of headache episodes, headache duration, quality of life, medication use, and psychological symptoms, in patients with migraine or tension-type headache (TTH). A systematic search was conducted in various electronic databases to identify all relevant studies: Medline (PubMed), PEDro, EBSCO and Google Scholar. Clinical trials assessing the effects of exercise interventions in patients with primary headaches were selected. Methodological quality was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and PEDro scale and qualitative analysis was based on classifying the results into levels of evidence according to the GRADE. 19 studies (2776 participants; 85% female) were included. The meta-analysis showed statistically significant differences in pain intensity for aerobic training in patients with migraine (SMD = -0.65; 95% CI = -1.07 to -0.22, very low certainty evidence) and for strength training in patients with TTH (SMD = -0.84; 95% CI = -1.68 to- -0.01, very low certainty evidence). Statistically significant differences were also found in the medication use (SMD = -0.51; 95% CI = -0.85 to -0.17, low certainty evidence). Low transparency, replicability and high risk of bias were found. Aerobic training has a small to moderate clinical effect on pain intensity and medication use on migraine patients, with very low to low certainty of evidence. Strength training showed a moderate clinical effect with very low quality of evidence in patients with TTH. Exercise could be considered as clinically relevant for the management of patients with primary headaches, but the presence of low certainty of evidence and low transparency and replicability limited its clinical application. PERSPECTIVE: This article presents current evidence about exercise interventions in patients with primary headaches, including migraine and tension-type headache. Existing findings are reviewed, and relevant data are provided on the effectiveness of each exercise modality, as well as its certainty of evidence and clinical applicability.
