The objective of this review is to identify and map the evidence on the types of dietary education programs that have been implemented and evaluated in any setting for adults with neurological diseases. This review will also examine program characteristics, including program duration, length, and number of sessions, and common behavior change techniques used.

Up to 1 billion people are affected by neurological diseases, most commonly Alzheimer's disease and dementias, epilepsy, Huntington's disease, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke. Dietary recommendations for most of these diseases follow national dietary guidelines. Dietary education programs are recommended by the World Health Organization to promote adherence to a healthy diet, but it is not clear which dietary education programs have been conducted for adults with neurological diseases or the characteristics of such programs.

This review will consider qualitative and intervention studies (randomized controlses), PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Google Scholar will be searched for publications in English. Neurological organizations will be contacted for unpublished literature. Titles and abstracts will be screened, and full texts accessed for final inclusion. Intervention details, study outcomes, behavior change techniques, and findings will be extracted. Results will be presented in a table with accompanying description.

This review will explore how point-of-care tests for sexually transmitted infections have been implemented into health care systems in low- and middle-income countries, and the facilitators and barriers to implementation.

Sexually transmitted infections contribute to significant global morbidity. In low- and middle-income countries, syndromic management of sexually transmitted infections is recommended. However, due to the limitations of syndromic management, there is increasing interest in the potential for point-of-care tests to be incorporated into models of care for sexually transmitted infections in low-resource settings. It is therefore important to explore how point-of-care tests for sexually transmitted infections have been used in these settings previously, and the facilitators and barriers to implementation on a wider scale.

This scoping review will consider studies that explore the use of point-of-care-testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, or syphilis, and how they are implementedrane library from 1998 onwards. Results will be screened by two independent reviewers and data extracted using a data extraction tool developed by the reviewers. Data will be presented both narratively and in tabular form.

This review will explore definitions of early palliative care and describe how it has been implemented for those diagnosed with a life-limiting chronic illness.

People with life-limiting chronic illnesses who receive palliative care interventions have increased quality of life, better symptom management, and are more likely to have advance care plans than patients who do not. It is therefore best practice to encourage early identification of those in need of palliative care services. However, there is uncertainty over what is considered to be "early palliative care" and this presents a barrier to evaluating outcomes associated with it.

All literature that defines an early palliative care approach in adults (aged 18+) with a life-limiting chronic illness will be included in this review.

This scoping review will be completed using the JBI scoping review methodology. Xevinapant cell line A comprehensive search of academic and gray literature using MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), Embase (Ovid), PsycINFO (Ovid), Web of Science Core Collection, Ovid Cochrane Library, and ProQuest (Health and Medicine and Sociology Collections) will be utilized. Once screened by two reviewers, results will be extracted using a customized tool and summarized into a final report using a narrative synthesis presented in table form.

The objective of this scoping review is to investigate use of patient reported experience measures and patient reported outcome measures within the acute health care context.

Data from patient reported outcome measures and patient reported experience measures provide important information for health professionals and organizations in order to improve patient-centred care. These two measures have potential to narrow the gap between the clinician's and patient's views and help tailor treatment plans to meet the patient's preferences and needs.

This scoping review will consider studies that include patients of any age and any condition who have obtained care from any acute health care facility. The concepts of this review are the types of research studies that have been done using patient reported experience measures and patient reported outcome measures data in acute hospital settings, the geographical contexts of these two measures' studies, the barriers and facilitators that have been identified in stud extensive search of the databases for published and unpublished literature. The review will consider any type of quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods research evidence as well as systematic reviews to understand how hospitals use patient reported experience measures and patient reported outcome measures data in health care. Each included study will be assessed by two independent reviewers and data will be extracted from included papers using a standardized data extraction tool.

The objective of this review was to synthesize the best available qualitative evidence on the everyday life experiences of adults living with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator for cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular disease is a rising concern worldwide. The efficacy of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator as a successful treatment for cardiovascular disease has been well documented. Research suggests that living with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator is complex and can cause substantial psychosocial distress that can manifest itself at various intervals over time. The first step to developing evidence-based recommendations related to the management of implantable cardioverter defibrillator-related distress is a critical appraisal and synthesis of relevant literature to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon.

The participants of interest were adults 18 years or older who had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator for the management of cardiovascular disease strength of this conclusion.

The objective of this review is to evaluate and synthesize evidence on the effectiveness and safety of Ayurvedic medicines for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Several randomized controlled trials have been conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of Ayurvedic medicines for managing type 2 diabetes. link2 Systematic reviews have been conducted on this topic but need to be updated. The findings from this review will be used to develop a clinical guideline for managing type 2 diabetes by Ayurvedic practitioners in India.

Randomized controlled trials assessing the effectiveness and safety of Ayurvedic medicines for managing type 2 diabetes in adults will be included in this systematic review.

The authors will search for a wide range of sources to find both published and unpublished studies, including, but not limited to, MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (Ovid), Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Allied and Complementary Medicine Database (Ovid). No language restrictions will be applied. The JBI systematic review methodology will be followed when conducting the review. Data synthesis will be conducted using narrative synthesis and meta-analyses, where appropriate.

The objective of this review was to identify, appraise, and synthesize the best available evidence related to participation in outdoor nature-based therapeutic recreation programs for adults with a mental illness living in the community.

Therapeutic recreation is posited to be beneficial for persons living with a mental illness. link3 Research evidence indicates that therapeutic recreation programs can foster mental health recovery. It is important to understand the effectiveness of this from the perspective of persons living with mental illness how outdoor nature-based therapeutic recreation programs are meaningful and helpful for recovery.

This review considered studies that collected qualitative data on the experiences and perspectives of adults with a mental illness regarding their participation in outdoor nature-based therapeutic recreation programs.

The databases PsycINFO, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Informit, as well as unpublished sources in gray literature (Google Scholar, OpenGrey), were searchedgical well-being, such as intrinsic motivation, overcoming perceived challenges, and finding purpose and meaning, are enhanced through participation in therapeutic recreation in outdoor nature-based settings. Increased levels of physical activity, greater self-esteem, and enhanced sense of identity were some of the perceived positive changes. This review provides important insights into the subjective needs of persons with mental illness who undertake therapeutic recreation in outdoor nature-based settings. The qualitative findings can inform health care providers, or those interested in therapeutic recreation programming, to use alongside quantitative evidence of effectiveness to design nature-based therapeutic recreation activities that are meaningful for persons with mental illness. Limitations of the research were that papers published in languages other than English were not searched, and papers not located may have influenced the findings of this review.

The objective of this review is to determine the difference in diagnostic accuracy of core needle biopsy and fine needle aspiration for patients with a head and neck mass using surgical histopathology as a reference test. The risks and adverse events associated with each technique will also be compared.

Tissue diagnosis is critical in evaluation of head and neck lesions to guide management. Options for tissue biopsy include surgical biopsy, fine needle aspiration and core needle biopsy.

Studies that compare ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and/or fine needle aspiration to investigate lumps in the thyroid, cervical lymph nodes, or salivary glands for malignancy in adult patients will be included. The comparator test will be definitive histology in form of surgical biopsy/excision.

MEDLINE, Emcare, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Register of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies will be searched. Studies will be critically appraised by two independent reviewers for methodological quality, using the modified critical appraisal instrument QUADAS-2 and JBI SUMARI software.
