RESUMO
AIM: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a respiratory complication associated with neonatal prematurity, presents opportunities for pharmacological intervention due to its contributing risk factors. Despite diuretics' controversial usage in BPD treatment and varying institutional practices, this review aims to consolidate evidence from clinical trials regarding diuretic use in BPD. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines, searching EMBASE, Medline, Web of Science and CINAHL databases (PROSPERO 2022: CRD42022328292). Covidence facilitated screening and data extraction, followed by analysis and formatting in Microsoft Excel. RESULTS: Among 430 screened records, 13 were included for analysis. Three studies assessed spironolactone and chlorothiazide combinations, two studied spironolactone and hydrochlorothiazide, while eight examined furosemide. All studies evaluated drug effects on dynamic pulmonary compliance and pulmonary resistance, serving as comparative measures in our review. CONCLUSION: Diuretics' effectiveness in treating bronchopulmonary dysplasia remains uncertain. The limited number of identified randomised controlled trials (RCTs) hampers high-level evidence-based conclusions when applying the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome (PICO) approach. Conducting large prospective studies of good quality could provide more definitive insights, but the rarity of outcomes and eligible patients poses challenges. Further research, primarily focusing on RCTs assessing diuretics' safety and efficacy in this population, is warranted.

It is well established that police work is highly stressful; however, a paucity of evidence limits our knowledge and understanding of the factors that may lead to, compromise, and/or compound psychological distress for this unique population. To address this lack, the current systematic review was conducted to reveal the individual, organizational, and operational risk factors that have been identified in the research literature to date and their associations with depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and burnout. We performed searches on literature published between January 2008 and January 2018 and identified a total of 20 studies that met our inclusion criteria. The results indicated that individual factors, including high levels of neuroticism, low social support, and engaging in passive or avoidant coping strategies, were associated with adverse psychological outcomes. This review identified low social support from colleagues as the most common risk factor linked to adverse psychological outcomes. Other organizational risk factors associated with such outcomes included high work demands, low resources, and low reward. This article demonstrates that individual, organizational, and operational factors all impact the negative psychological outcomes of police officers to some degree. In particular, the current review suggests that certain negative psychological outcomes are likely a result of a combination of risk factors across the three domains of risk, highlighting the necessity to observe psychological risk of police in a more comprehensive way.
Spanish Abstracts by Asociación Chilena de Estrés Traumático (ACET) Identificando los factores de riesgo claves para las consecuencias psicológicas adversas en la población policial: Una revisión sistemática de la literatura. REVISIÓN DE FACTORES DE RIESGO PSICOLÓGICO PARA LA POLICÍA Está bien establecido que el trabajo policial es altamente estresante; sin embargo, la escasez de evidencia limita nuestro conocimiento y comprensión de los factores que pueden conducir, comprometer, y/o constituir el malestar psicológico en esta población única. Para abordar esta escasez, se condujo esta revisión sistemática para revelar los factores de riesgo individuales, organizacionales y operativos que han sido identificados hasta la fecha en la literatura científica y sus asociaciones con depresión, ansiedad, trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) y burnout. Realizamos una búsqueda de los artículos publicados entre Enero de 2008 a Enero de 2018 y se identificaron un total de 20 estudios que cumplían nuestros criterios de inclusión. Los resultados indicaron que los factores de riesgo individuales, incluyendo altos niveles de neuroticismo, bajo apoyo social, y engancharse en estrategias de afrontamiento pasivas o evitativas, estuvieron asociadas con resultados psicológicos adversos. Esta revisión identificó el bajo apoyo social de los colegas como el factor de riesgo más común relacionado a los resultados psicológicos adversos. Otros factores de riesgo organizacional asociados a tales resultados incluyeron alta demanda laboral, pocos recursos y baja gratificación. Este artículo demuestra que los factores individuales, organizacionales y operacionales impactan los resultados psicológicos negativos de los oficiales de policía en algún grado. En particular, la revisión actual sugiere que ciertos resultados psicológicos negativos son probablemente el resultado de una combinación de factores de riesgo en los tres dominios de riesgo, enfatizando la necesidad de observar el riesgo psicológico de los policías en una forma más integral.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To examine changes in functional capacity, anxiety, depression and BMI in patients who completed a cardiac rehabilitation programme and to determine the influencing factors. BACKGROUND: While the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation is long established, more studies are needed to examine the combined effectiveness of this multicomponent intervention and the factors that influence this in the changed profile of patients currently attending cardiac rehabilitation. DESIGN: The study was a longitudinal retrospective study of patients following a six- or eight-week Phase III cardiac rehabilitation programme. METHODS: The study recruited 154 patients. Functional capacity, anxiety, depression, weight, waist circumference and BMI were assessed at the beginning and end of cardiac rehabilitation. t-tests were used to assess changes over time, and multivariate regression analysis was used to determine the influence of factors on these changes. RESULTS: Significant improvements were seen in functional capacity, waist circumference, weight and BMI, but not in depression and anxiety. Multivariate analysis revealed that being younger and less fit was associated with greater improvements in functional capacity while reason for referral, gender, depression or BMI did not influence improvements in functional capacity. Models testing the influence of the factors on BMI, anxiety and depression were not significant. CONCLUSION: Cardiac rehabilitation is still an effective method to instigate changes in cardiac risk factors despite the changes in patients profile attending programmes. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Continued encouragement of the historically less typical patients to participate in cardiac rehabilitation is needed as reason for referral, gender, depression or BMI did not influence improvements in functional capacity. Despite psychosocial components within the programme, no significant improvements were observed over cardiac rehabilitation in depression or anxiety. While effectiveness was observed, there is room for further optimisation of practice and research by employing and documenting clearly the use of behavioural techniques.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this review is to answer the following question: Does assistive technology contribute to social inclusion for people with intellectual disability? Previous research on assistive technology has focused on socioeconomic impacts such as education, employment and access to healthcare by people with intellectual disability. There is a need to consolidate evidence on the interaction between intellectual disability, assistive technology, community living and social inclusion. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The review will consider studies from all settings: geographical, socioeconomic and care (institutional and community care), published in English. Studies reported in other languages with abstracts in English will be included if they can be translated using Google Translate, otherwise such studies will be included in the appendix. The review will include both qualitative and quantitative studies. The intervention in this review refers to the use of assistive technology to promote community participation or interpersonal relationships (social inclusion) for people with intellectual disability. The outcomes will be behavioural and social benefits of using assistive technology by people with intellectual disability. Enhanced interpersonal relationships and community participation by people with intellectual disability. Data analysis will be in two phases. The first phase will involve analysis of individual study designs separately. The second phase will be narrative/thematic synthesis of all study groups. ETHICS: The review will not create any ethical or safety concerns. DISSEMINATION: At least one peer-reviewed article in a leading journal such as the BMJ is planned. The findings will also be disseminated through a seminar session involving internal audience at Trinity College Dublin and within the Assistive Technologies for people with Intellectual Disability and Autism research programme.

A longitudinal study of cognitive function after coronary artery bypass surgery examined 107 participants using 11 tests, preoperatively and at 6 days, 8 weeks, and 5 years after surgery. The overall neuropsychological (NP) change score declined at 6 days, showed some recovery at 8 weeks, and declined again at 5 years. The number of microemboli recorded during surgery, postoperative short-term cognitive change, and degree of recovery at 8 weeks were identified as predictors of change in NP score to 5 years. This suggests that even over a 5-year period, operative damage is detectable. Patients' vulnerability to short-term deterioration and resilience or ability to recover over a few weeks from operative cerebral insult are important processes of unknown mechanisms.

The behavioural changes initiated during Phase III cardiac rehabilitation programmes were recorded using Prochaska and Diclemente's "stages of change" model. This study aimed to ascertain if changes were initiated, maintained or further developed during Phase III programmes and 6 months after the programmes with a view to ascertaining the usefulness of this tool in providing stage matched individualised care. The risk factors examined were: exercise, diet and stress. The stages were recorded quantitatively and were numerically designated a value of 1-5. The results were analysed using SPSS. The sample number was one hundred and eighty seven patients. Significant improvements were made by the end of the programme (6 or 8 weeks) indicating that most patients had modified their behaviour during the programme. There was no significant additional improvement in the risk factors 6 months later. These results are a further indication of the need for support post Phase III programmes. Patients entered Phase III rehabilitation at different stages in their risk behaviours and with regard to exercise this stage at commencement influences the final stage achieved. "Stages of change" is a useful simple method of recording behavioural change and this type of routine monitoring of a patient could be used effectively as part of the individual care plan during the programme.
