Abstract:
Objective: to identify risk factors for the occurrence of pressure ulcers in adult individuals with spinal cord injuries in neurological rehabilitation. Methods: integrative review of studies published in the bases Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences. Results: 308 studies were found, with six articles selected, based on pre-established inclusion criteria. The number of risk factors found was similar during and after neurological rehabilitation. Conclusion: the risk factors found for the occurrence of pressure ulcers during and after neurological rehabilitation, were related to sociodemographic conditions, the spinal cord injury itself, associated with clinical condition and behavior. With the exception of complete injury and a history of pressure ulcers, risk factors varied during and after rehabilitation stages.

Abstract:
Education in rehabilitation sciences have seen a boom in the last two decades in Pakistan and a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses have been introduced in the country. Up gradation of BS physical therapy into DPT program, BS Occupational Therapy into Doctor of Occupational Therapy, introduction of BS programs in Allied Health Sciences including Speech and Language pathology, Respiratory therapy, prosthetics and orthotics are glimpses of development of rehabilitation sciences in the country. Moreover, establishment of new rehabilitation centers have increased in number and a variety of patients with different rehabilitation needs. These new centers might be helpful to fulfill the potential up coming demand and competition for quality in healthcare services in the country. It seems plausible that with enhanced skills of the professionals produced in the field of rehabilitation, the demand of consumers for having best quality will raise and sooner the need of having set national standards for these professions will be realized by the concerned authorities. At the moment, the authorities seem least interested in the formation of regularity bodies for individual profession.

Abstract:
Evidence from many clinical trials in recent years suggests that a large “treatment gap” exists between recommended therapies and the care that patients actually receive. This gap has been particularly apparent in the area of primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. In this article, three areas are discussed in which new scientific advances have not been adequately translated to clinical practice. These include: 1) the most appropriate measures to define the risks associated with obesity; 2) the under-diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea and its relation to cardiovascular risk; and 3) the use and misuse of the exercise test and other functional status tools to predict health outcomes. Each is discussed in terms of how they should be quantified, their contribution to the estimation of cardiovascular disease risk, their response to interventions, and implications for cardiac rehabilitation. Clinical cardiac rehabilitation programs can benefit from routinely including these measures, both for their value in stratifying risk and for their importance in quantifying program efficacy. Physicians and allied health professionals should expand their routine medical evaluations and coronary risk factor profiling to include these measures.

Abstract:
AimThe aim of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions on the secondary physical, neurological and psychological consequences of cardiac arrest (CA) for adult survivors.MethodsA literature search of electronic databases (MEDLINE, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Excerpta Medica database, Psychological Information Database, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled trials) was conducted for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies up to 18 April 2021. The primary outcome was health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and main secondary outcome was neurological function with additional secondary outcomes being survival, rehospitalisation, safety (serious and non-serious adverse events), psychological well-being, fatigue, exercise capacity and physical capacity. Two authors independently screened studies for eligibility, extracted data and assessed risk of bias.ResultsThree RCTs and 11 observational studies were included (total 721 participants). Study duration ranged from 8 weeks to 2 years. Pooled data from two RCTs showed low-quality evidence for no effect on physical HRQoL (standardised mean difference (SMD) 0.19, (95% CI: −0.09 to 0.47)) and no effect on mental HRQoL (SMD 0.27 (95% CI: −0.01 to 0.55)).Regarding secondary outcomes, very low-quality evidence was found for improvement in neurological function associated with inpatient rehabilitation for CA survivors with acquired brain injury (SMD 0.71, (95% CI: 0.45 to 0.96)) from five observational studies. Two small observational studies found exercise-based rehabilitation interventions to be safe for CA survivors, reporting no serious or non-serious events.ConclusionsGiven the overall low quality of evidence, this review cannot determine the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions for CA survivors on HRQoL, neurological function or other included outcomes, and recommend further high-quality studies be conducted. In the interim, existing clinical guidelines on rehabilitation provision after CA should be followed to meet the high burden of secondary consequences suffered by CA survivors.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42018110129.

Abstract:
Uptake of nutritional supplementation during pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been limited by an absence of rigorous evidence-based studies supporting use. The objective was to report and summarise the current evidence supporting the use of nutritional supplementation to improve outcomes during PR in stable COPD patients. A systematic search was conducted up to 7 August 2019 (registration number CRD42018089142). The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines were used. Six databases were included: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online or MEDLARS Online, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Web of Science. This systematic search generated 580 initial matches, of which 22 studies (917 COPD participants) met the pre-specified criteria and were included. Sixteen of 19 studies that used nutritional supplements in addition to PR did not show additional benefit compared to PR alone when measuring exercise capacity. Nutritional supplements significantly increased body weight in 7 of 11 studies. Body mass index increased significantly in two of six studies. Handgrip strength did not improve, while quadriceps muscle strength significantly improved in 3 of 11 studies. Four of eight studies showed a significant improvement in inspiratory muscle function. Only 2 of 14 studies demonstrated a significant improvement in quality of life with supplementation in addition to PR. There remains insufficient evidence on the effect of nutritional supplementation on improving outcomes during PR in patients with COPD due to heterogeneity in supplements, outcome measures and PR programmes. Therefore, controversy remains and further research is needed.

Abstract:
The principle of ‘working with, not on’ people with disabilities is widely espoused within inclusive research, yet historically such opportunities have not been fully realized. This paper speaks from the perspective of users of health, rehabilitation, assistive technology services, and the academics with whom they collaborate. We draw on Australia’s Disability Inclusive Research Principles to reflect on the practice of inclusive research across the areas of assistive technology policy, digital information, and health access, as well as the co-design of allied health resources. We consider and provide examples of how power and knowledge play out in health and rehabilitation, the developing discourse around consumer co-design and co-production, and the challenges of enacting inclusive research. This paper is about shared power in the mechanisms of research production and our journeys towards it. Engaging in inclusive research has enabled us to assume roles beyond the binary of the ‘researcher’ and the ‘researched’. We conclude by proposing an adaptation of the ladder of participation for inclusive research.

Abstract:
This study aimed to analyze factors associated with resilience among persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). An integrative review was conducted. Electronic databases including PubMed, ProQuest, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Web of Science were searched using relevant search terms and keywords. A total of two qualitative and nine quantitative studies were included in the review. Psychosocial factors such as social support, self-efficacy, spirituality, post-traumatic growth, life satisfaction, adaptive coping strategies, psychological strength, and being a role model were associated with higher resilience. Stress, anxiety, depression, external locus of control, and attachment avoidance correlated with lower resilience. Inconsistent results were reported for demographic and injury-related variables such as the age of the participants, gender, pain, and functional independence. The integrative review reported a number of factors associated with resilience in people with SCI. Rehabilitation counselors working with this population can design rehabilitation interventions targeting these variables to enhance the resilience of people with SCI. Consideration of cultural and contextual influences on resilience, as well as the design of effective interventions, are important directions for future research.

Abstract:
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR) has been shown to improve clinical outcomes in these patients, and yet clinicians are often challenged to prescribe the most effective type of exercise training. Therefore, this systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) aims to formally quantify the optimal dose of exercise training interventions to improve exercise capacity and quality of life by undertaking direct and indirect pooled comparisons of randomized controlled trials. A detailed search will be conducted on PubMed/MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), EMBASE and Web of Science. Two reviewers will screen the existing literature and assess the quality of the studies. Disagreements will be resolved through consensus. We anticipate that the analysis will include pairwise and Bayesian network meta-analyses. Most of the trials have studied the impact of exercise training comparing one or two modalities. As a result, little evidence exists to support which interventions will be most effective. The current NMA will address this gap in the literature and assist clinicians and cardiac rehabilitation specialists in making an informed decision. Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals. Ethical approval is not applicable, as no research participants will be involved. PROSPERO Registration number: CRD42022262644.

Abstract:
Pre-existing dementia is associated with poorer functional outcome after stroke. It is unclear however whether this is due to lack of access to, or inequality in, stroke rehabilitation. This PhD used mixed methods to understand whether pre-existing dementia is a factor considered by clinicians when referring/admitting patients for rehabilitation, when providing rehabilitation interventions, and whether there is a difference in rehabilitation received by patients with and without pre-existing dementia. A background literature review informed the first study, which was a systematic review examining factors influencing clinical decision-making about access to stroke rehabilitation. The systematic review suggested that pre-stroke cognition influenced referrals/admission to rehabilitation, however, no studies examined this specifically. The qualitative study therefore used interviews (n=23) to explore clinicians experiences of decision-making about rehabilitation for patients with pre-existing dementia/cognitive impairments. The findings highlighted that clinicians own knowledge influenced their decision-making, with a common perception that people with pre-existing cognitive impairment lack potential to benefit from rehabilitation. The third study, a prospective cohort study, examined differences in rehabilitation received by patients with and without pre-existing cognitive impairments (n=139). People with pre-existing cognitive impairments received less rehabilitation than those without, particularly physiotherapy and referral to community therapies and more non-patient facing occupational therapy. This PhD identified that people with pre-existing dementia/cognitive impairment receive less rehabilitation when compared to those without. This may be, in part, due to clinicians decision-making about which patients should receive stroke rehabilitation. These findings have multiple clinical implications, particularly around the number of patients in stroke services with undiagnosed pre-existing cognitive impairment. Decisions can become more equitable by ensuring clinicians have access to relevant education, training and skills to work alongside patients with pre-existing dementia/cognitive impairments.

Abstract:
In 2011, a period began in which the United States demographic will change to include the largest, least prepared, and most diverse elderly population in our nation’s history. That was the year the “Baby Boomer” generation started retiring and members of this large cohort will continue to do so for approximately twenty years (Kemper, Komisar & Alecxih, 2005). Chronic health conditions and the obesity epidemic may make retirement years less healthy ones than for previous generations of older adults. Lifestyle changes in Baby Boomers as compared to previous cohorts of elders – increased divorce, fewer children, nontraditional family relationships – may result in less support for frail elders when they can no longer care for themselves, thereby increasing their vulnerability to long-term care placement (Cherlin, 2010; Ryan, Smith, Antonucci & Jackson, 2012

Nikravanshalmani, Alireza. "Computer aided detection and segmentation of intracranial aneurysms in CT angiography." Thesis, Kingston University, 2012. http://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/22974/.

Full text
Abstract:
Accurate detection and segmentation of intracranial aneurysms plays an important role in diagnosing and reducing the incidence of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) which is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. This research proposes a computer aided detection (CAD) and segmentation (CAS) of intracranial aneurysm in computer tomography angiography (CTA). The efficiency of the CAD/CAS system is boosted by pre-processing the input image with non-linear diffusion to smooth the CTA data while preserving the edges. A 3D region growing-based approach is used to extract the cerebral arteries followed by entropy-based search space reduction to retain the volume of the circle of Willis (CoW) and the proximal cerebral arteries where nearly all intracranial aneurysms are located, whilst eliminating the extracranial and very distal intracranial circulation. Because cerebral aneurysms vary in size we regard the problem of cerebral aneurysm detection as an intrinsically multi-scale problem and employ a multi-scale approach to all detection analysis. Shape index analysis is employed to determine potential aneurysmal regions (PARs). Hessian analysis and gradient vector field analysis which reveal 3D local shape information are used to further characterise the initial PARs. False positive reduction is then performed based on the analysis of the shape characterisations of the PARs. A ranking score is defined based on the outcomes of the shape analysis to rank the likelihood of PARs. The system allows user to navigate through the ranked PARs and select a candidate aneurysm for further analysis (CAS). The boundary of the selected aneurysm and its parent artery is delineated by using a 3D conditional morphology-based region growing approach. The output is presented to the user to be assessed for the aneurysm orientation relative to the parent vessel. A semi-automatic process is applied to detach the aneurysm from its parent artery. To have a fine segmentation of aneurysm which can be used for characterization of the aneurysm, a 3D geodesic active contour implemented in a level set framework is applied. The volume of the separated aneurysm is quantified as a typical characterization ofthe aneurysm. The system has been validated on a clinical dataset of 62 CT A scans with average 274 slices per scan (involving 17,028 CT slices) containing 70 aneurysms. Sizes of aneurysms vary between 3-16mm. 42 CTA scans have been used as a training dataset for parameter selection and 20 CTA scans have been used as a test dataset. The sensitivity of the systems for the CAD component is 97% with the average false positive of 2.24 per dataset (0.008 per slice). CAS performance was evaluated by dual visual judgment of an expert neuroradiologist and neurosurgeon. The detection and segmentation performance indicate the approach has potential in clinical applications.

Full text
Abstract:
This study aims to understand the use of a computer during GP consultations and to enable the development of EPR systems which are easier to review, enter data into, use to take action, and is more sensitive to the clinical context. This thesis reports the development of a multi-channel video and data capture toolkit, the ALFA (Activity Log File Aggregation) because existing observation techniques have limitations. None of the existing tools are designed to assess human-computer interaction in the context of the clinical consultation, where the social interaction is the prime focus. The ALFA tool-kit has been used to observe and study 163 live primary care consultations supported by computer systems with four different designs. A detailed analysis of consultation interactions was then performed focusing on doctor-patient communication and the integration of the computer into the consultation workflow. The data collection elements of the ALFA supported recording of consultation activities by providing rating techniques attuned with the characteristics of those interactions. The Log File Aggregation (LFA) component of the ALFA toolkit aggregated those multitudes of data files into a single navigable output that can be studied both quantitatively and qualitatively. A set of Unified Modelling Language (UML) sequence diagrams were then created as they could be used by software engineers to develop better systems. This research proposes a framework with three elements to analyse the computerised clinical consultation; (1) the overview of the context within which the consultation was carried out, (2) time taken to perform key consultation tasks and (3) the process used. Traditional analysis with its emphasis on the technology often misses crucial features of the complex work environments in which the technology is implemented. Direct observation could inform software designers in developing systems that are more readily integrated into clinical workflow. Direct observation of the consultation, using the ALFA toolkit is acceptable to patients; captures the context of the consultation the precise timing and duration of key tasks; and produces an output a software engineer can understand. ALFA offers a range of possibilities for research in the consulting room. The computer should be considered as an active element of the consultation; room layout and consultation models should let the computer in, while software engineers take in the capacity to sustain patient centred social interactions as a core facet of their design agenda.

Ebrahimdoost, Yousef. "Computer aided detection of pulmonary embolism (PE) in CTA images." Thesis, Kingston University, 2012. http://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/24027/.

Full text
Abstract:
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an obstruction within the pulmonary arterial tree and in the majority of cases arises from a thrombosis that has travelled to the lungs via the venous system. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a fatal condition which affects all age groups and is the third most common cause of death in the US. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) imaging has recently emerged as an accurate method in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Each CTA scan contains hundreds of CT images, so the accuracy and efficiency of interpreting such a large image data set is complicated due to various PE look-alikes and human factors such as attention span and eye fatigue. Moreover, manual reading and interpreting a large number of slices is time consuming and it is difficult to find all the pulmonary embolisms (PE) in a data set. Consequently, it is highly desirable to have a computer aided detection (CAD) system to assist radiologists in detecting and characterizing emboli in an accurate, efficient and reproducible manner. A computer aided detection (CAD) system for detection of pulmonary embolism is proposed in CTA images. Our approach is performed in three stages: firstly the pulmonary artery tree is extracted in the region of the lung and heart in order to reduce the search area (PE occurs inside the pulmonary artery) and aims to reduce the false detection rate. The pulmonary artery is separated from the surrounding organs by analyzing the second derivative of the Hessian matrix and then a hybrid method based on region growing and a new customized level set is used to extract the pulmonary artery (PA). In the level set implementation algorithm, a new stopping criterion is applied, a consideration often neglected in many level set implementations. In the second stage, pulmonary embolism candidates are detected inside the segmented pulmonary artery, by an analysis of three dimensional features inside the segmented artery. PE detection in the pulmonary artery is implemented using five detectors. Each detector responds to different properties of PE. In the third stage, filtering is used to exclude false positive detections associated with the partial volume effect on the artery boundary, flow void, lymphoid tissue, noise and motion artifacts. Soft tissue between the bronchial wall and the pulmonary artery is a common cause of false positive detection in CAD systems. A new feature, based on location is used to reduce false positives caused by soft tissue. The method was tested on 55 data scans (20 training data scans and 35 additional data scans for evaluation containing a total of 195 emboli). The system provided a segmentation of the PA up to the 6th division, which includes the sub-segmental level. Resulting performance gave 94% detection sensitivity with an average 4.1 false positive detections per scan. We demonstrated that the proposed CAD system can improve the performance of a radiologist, detecting 19 (11 %) extra PE which were not annotated by the radiologist.

Full text
Abstract:
Coronary artery disease is one of the most pernicious diseases around the world and early identification of vascular disease can help to reduce morbidity and mortality. Assessment of the degree of vascular obstruction, or stenosis, is critical for classifying the risks of the future vascular events. Automatic detection and quantification of stenosis are important in assessing coronary artery disease from medical imagery, especially for disease progression. Important factors affecting the reproducability and robustness of accuarate quantification arise from the partial volume effect and other noise sources. The main goal of this study is to present a fully automatic approach for detection and quantification of the stenosis in the coronary arteries. The proposed approach begins by building a 3D reconstruction of the coronary arterial system and then making accurate measurement of the vessel diameter from a robust estimate of the vessel cross-section. The proposed algorithm models the partial volume effect using a Markovian fuzzy clustering method in the process of accurate quantification of the degree of stenosis. To evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of the measurement, the method was applied to a vascular phantom that was scanned using different protocols. The algorithm was applied to 20 CTA patient datasets containing a total of 85 stenoses, which were all successfully detected, with an average false positive rate of 0.7 per scan.

Abstract:
It is well known that the evolution of 4G-based mobile multimedia network systems will contribute significantly to future m-health applications that require high bandwidth and fast data rates. Central to the success of such emerging applications is the compatibility of broadband networks such as mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) and RSVP A, and especially their rate adaption issues combined with the acceptable real time medical quality of service requirements. The design of effective broadband mobile healthcare systems usmg emerging WiMAX and RSxP A networks is important from the medical perspective especially in applications such as remote medical ultrasound diagnostic systems. In this thesis, we introduce a new cross layer design approach for medical video streaming over mobile WiMAX and RSVP A networks. In particular, we propose an approach based on optimising medical Quality of Service (m-QoS) in mobile WiMAX network environments described in this work. Preliminary performance analysis of the proposed cross layer algorithm has been evaluated via simulation studies. These results show that the proposed cross layer optimizer achieves improved performance compatible with the necessary medical QoS requirements and constraints for the relevant clinical application. Furthermore, this work addresses the relevant challenges of cross layer design requirements for real time rate adaptation of ultrasound video streaming in Mobile WiMAX and RSVP A networks. The comparative performance analysis of such approach is validated in two experimental m-health testbed systems for both Mobile WiMAX and RSVP A networks. The experimental results show an improved performance of Mobile WiMAX compared to the RSVP A using the same cross layer optimisation approach. Additionally, we map the medical QoS to typical WiMAX QoS parameters in order to optimise the performance of these parameters in typical m-health scenarios. Preliminary performance analysis of the proposed multiparametric scenarios is evaluated to provide essential information for future medical QoS requirements and constraints.

"Virtual Pathology Learning Resource is proving to be an effective strategy in teaching Pathology to allied health science students." In InSITE 2018: Informing Science + IT Education Conferences: La Verne California. Informing Science Institute, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/3972.

Abstract:
Aim/Purpose: [This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the 2018 issue of the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology, Volume 15] The aim of this study was to concept test a novel instructional aid called Virtual Pathology Learning Resource (VPLR), which was used as a vehicle to communicate information, and enhance teaching and learning of basic sciences (Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology) to allied health science students at a South Australian university. Background: Pathology was traditionally taught using potted specimens to independently review macroscopic features of disease. However, this approach alone was found inadequate and ineffective. For one, the potted specimens were not easily accessible for all students. VPLR is a new teaching platform comprising of digitised human normal and human pathology specimens (histology, histopathology), patient case studies, short answer and critical thinking questions, and self-assessment quizzes. Using authentic learning theory as an educational approach, this learning resource was developed to enhance the teaching and learning of Pathology. Methodology: A cross-sectional study design was used. A survey, administered at the conclusion of the course, gathered qualitative and quantitative data concerning the perceptions and experiences of the students about VPLR. The online tool SurveyMonkey was utilised so that students could respond anonymously to a web link that displayed the questionnaire. The effectiveness of the program and its perceived impact on students was assessed using a 18-item questionnaire seeking agreement or disagreement with statements about VPLR, and open-ended questions querying the best things about VPLR, benefits to be derived, and areas for improvement. Descriptive and frequency analyses were performed. Contribution: The VPLR approach involved rich learning situations, contextualised content, and facilitated greater understanding of disease concepts and problems. Findings: In a sample of 103 Medical Radiation students, 42% of students (N=43) responded to the post-intervention survey. The majority of students reported highly positive effects for each component of the VPLR. The overall results indicated that this tool was an effective strategy in teaching Pathology as it assisted students' gaining knowledge and developing professional imaging skills. Recommendations for Practitioners: As students found VLPR to be beneficial, it is recommended that the same approach be applied for teaching of Pathology to other allied health students, such as Nursing. Other universities might consider adopting this innovation for their courses. Recommendation for Researchers: Applying VPLR to other allied health science students will be undertaken next. This innovation will be appropriate for other health science students with particular emphasis on case-based or problem-based learning, and combined with clinical experiences. Impact on Society: In reshaping the way of teaching a science course, students are benefited by a greater depth of understanding of content, and increase motivation with study. These are important to keep students engaged and prepared for practice. VPLR may impact on education and technology trends so that continuous exploration and possibilities of initiatives are ongoing to help students be successful learners. Other impacts are the new forms of learning discovered, and the renewed focus on group work and collaboration and the use of technology in innovation. Future Research: Future directions of this research would be to conduct a follow-up of this cohort of students to determine if the impacts of the innovation were durable, that means the change in perceptions and behaviour are sustained over time.

Abstract:
This paper explores the design and application of information communication technologies and human computer interaction for people recovering from severe mental illness wishing to gain employment. It is argued bias, misinformation and disinformation limit opportunities for people recovering from mental illness who are seeking employment. Issues of bias are explored in relation to systems design as well as dominant socially constructed paradigms of ‘mental health’ and ‘mental illness’ and employment. Misinformation is discussed according to the contemporary dominant paradigm of ‘recovery’ as well as web resources, discrimination and employment. Disinformation is considered in terms of media myths and stereotypes and vocational rehabilitation. Multidisciplinary collaboration is required to meet the ICT needs of this diverse group.

Abstract:
Objectives. To assess benefits and harms of nonpharmacological and pharmacological interventions for breathlessness in adults with advanced cancer. Data sources. We searched PubMed®, Embase®, CINAHL®, ISI Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials through early May 2020. Review methods. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies with a comparison group evaluating benefits and/or harms, and cohort studies reporting harms. Two reviewers independently screened search results, serially abstracted data, assessed risk of bias, and graded strength of evidence (SOE) for key outcomes: breathlessness, anxiety, health-related quality of life, and exercise capacity. We performed meta-analyses when possible and calculated standardized mean differences (SMDs). Results. We included 48 RCTs and 2 retrospective cohort studies (4,029 patients). The most commonly reported cancer types were lung cancer and mesothelioma. The baseline level of breathlessness varied in severity. Several nonpharmacological interventions were effective for breathlessness, including fans (SMD -2.09 [95% confidence interval (CI) -3.81 to -0.37]) (SOE: moderate), bilevel ventilation (estimated slope difference -0.58 [95% CI -0.92 to -0.23]), acupressure/reflexology, and multicomponent nonpharmacological interventions (behavioral/psychoeducational combined with activity/rehabilitation and integrative medicine). For pharmacological interventions, opioids were not more effective than placebo (SOE: moderate) for improving breathlessness (SMD -0.14 [95% CI -0.47 to 0.18]) or exercise capacity (SOE: moderate); most studies were of exertional breathlessness. Different doses or routes of administration of opioids did not differ in effectiveness for breathlessness (SOE: low). Anxiolytics were not more effective than placebo for breathlessness (SOE: low). Evidence for other pharmacological interventions was limited. Opioids, bilevel ventilation, and activity/rehabilitation interventions had some harms compared to usual care. Conclusions. Some nonpharmacological interventions, including fans, acupressure/reflexology, multicomponent interventions, and bilevel ventilation, were effective for breathlessness in advanced cancer. Evidence did not support opioids or other pharmacological interventions within the limits of the identified studies. More research is needed on when the benefits of opioids may exceed harms for broader, longer term outcomes related to breathlessness in this population.

Abstract:
Children and adolescents under the age of 18 years comprise 34% of the population, and child and adolescent Mental, Neurological and Substance Use (MNS) disorders are common and an important cause of disability and distress. Providers at all levels should be competent to screen for and identify common childhood mental disorders, which usually present with developmental delay, emotional and/or behavioural symptoms and/or learning difficulties. Given the burden of disease, the fact that many mental disorders begin in childhood, and that early intervention is most effective in childhood and adolescence, it is essential that effective promotion, prevention, treatment, care and rehabilitation interventions should be provided for children and adolescents. In this webinar, hosted by the Academy of Science of South Africa, leading experts in child and adolescent mental health presented their priorities for child and adolescent mental health services and research in South Africa.
