- What are the Symptoms that Characterize the Clinical Condition of Vocal Fatigue? A Scoping Review and Meta-Analysis. [Review]J Voice. 2023 Feb 01 [Online ahead of print]JV
- CONCLUSIONS: The vocal fatigue symptoms found in this review were common in the populations of professional voice users and non-professional voice users and dysphonic and non-dysphonic individuals. These symptoms were related to vocal recovery after rest, physical discomfort, and restricted vocal use.

- The first trimester plasma copper-zinc ratio is independently related to pregnancy-specific psychological distress symptoms throughout pregnancy. [Journal Article]Nutrition. 2022 Dec 14; 109:111938.N
- CONCLUSIONS: A higher CuZn plasma ratio is an independent determinant of developing pregnancy-specific distress symptoms throughout pregnancy, suggesting that micronutrients could be used as novel biomarkers for psychological distress research of perinatal mood disorders.

- Secondhand smoke exposure is associated with the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: the Japan Environment and Children's Study. [Journal Article]Hypertens Res. 2023 Feb 03 [Online ahead of print]HR
- Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are associated with poor maternal and neonatal prognoses. Although several studies have indicated an effect of secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure on HDP, such evidence is lacking in Japan. Therefore, we analyzed data from the Japan Environment and Children's Study, a large-scale epidemiological investigation, to elucidate a possible link between SHS exposure…

- Risk of dementia and mild cognitive impairment in older adults with a criminal background: a population-based register study in Sweden. [Journal Article]Sci Rep. 2023 Feb 02; 13(1):1915.SR
- Criminal behaviour has previously been associated with an increased risk for several mental health problems, but little is known about the association between criminal behaviour and dementia. We aimed to examine how the criminal background (type of crime, number of convictions, length of the sentence) is associated with dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and how mental and physical hea…

- Adaptive behaviour in children exposed to topiramate in the womb: An observational cohort study. [Journal Article]Seizure. 2023 Jan 13; 105:56-64.S
- CONCLUSIONS: The findings of poorer adaptive behaviour, higher incidence of ASD and associations with birth weight are of concern and require further validation and replication using larger prospectively-recruited samples and comparator cohorts. Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.

- Gender differences in the associations between knee pain and urinary incontinence in older adults: Cross-sectional analysis from the Malaysian Elders Longitudinal Research Study (MELoR). [Journal Article]Neurourol Urodyn. 2023 Feb 02 [Online ahead of print]NU
- CONCLUSIONS: Our study refutes previous assumptions that urinary incontinence in individuals with OA is attributed to impaired mobility alone, but introduces the role of abdominal obesity in this relationship, particularly in women. Future studies should assess the temporal relationship between body fat distribution and OA with urinary incontinence.

- Various neuromodulation methods including Deep Brain Stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle combined with psychopharmacotherapy of treatment-resistant depression-Case report. [Case Reports]
- CONCLUSIONS: The presented clinical case confirms the possibility of achieving remission after the use of MFB DBS in treatment-resistant depression, but postponed for many months. Nevertheless, personalization of every combined therapy with DBS is necessary with exploration of individual factors as past traumas and personality traits. More reports on long-term observations in DBS treatment in TRD trials (especially focused on MFB target) are needed.

- A first step towards a framework for interventions for individual working practice to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders: a scoping review. [Review]BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2023 Feb 01; 24(1):87.BM
- CONCLUSIONS: Eight categories of interventions for IWP are described in the literature. These categories are a starting point for developing and evaluating effective interventions performed by workers to prevent WMSDs. In order to reach consensus on these categories, an international expert consultation is a necessary next step.

- Longitudinal research on language abilities and social functioning in young children suggests that gains in one domain affect gains in the other. However, few studies have examined inter-relations of language and social functioning jointly among young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Pre-verbal toddlers with ASD are a group of particular clinical relevance, given that great…

- Most people with a mental disorder meet criteria for multiple disorders. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials comparing psychotherapies for people with depression and comorbid other mental disorders with non-active control conditions. We identified studies through an existing database of randomized trials on psychotherapies for depression. Thirty-five trials (3,…

- Pixel-Based Swallow Measurements: Correcting Nonsquare Pixels. [Journal Article]J Speech Lang Hear Res. 2023 Jan 30 [Online ahead of print]JS
- CONCLUSIONS: This research note demonstrates the effect of disregarding PAR to distance and area pixel-based parameters. In addition, we present a multilevel roadmap to prevent possible measurement errors that could occur. At the planning stage, the PAR of video source should be identified, and, at the analyses stage, video data should be prescaled prior to analysis with PAR-unaware software. No methodology in prior absolute or relative pixel-based studies reports adjustment to the PAR prior to measurements nor identify the PAR as a possible source of variation within the literature. Addressing PAR will improve the precision and stability of pixel-based VFSS findings and improve comparability within and across clinical and research settings.

- Narrative review of migraine management in patients with renal or hepatic disease. [Review]Headache. 2023 Jan; 63(1):9-24.H
- CONCLUSIONS: For acute therapy, the use of NSAIDS should be limited, as these carry risk for both severe hepatic and renal disease. Triptans can be selectively used, often with dose guideline adjustments. Ubrogepant may be used in severe hepatic disease with dose adjustment and lasmiditan can be used in end stage renal disease. Though non-medicine strategies may be the most reasonable initial approach, many preventative medications can be used in the setting of hepatic and renal disease, often with dose adjustment. This review provides tables of guidelines, including reduced dosing recommendations, for the use of abortive and preventative migraine medications in hepatic and renal failure.

This study is the first pragmatic RCT evaluating the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of adding CBTi to usual care for depression.

- Remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19. [Review]
- CONCLUSIONS: Based on the available evidence up to 31 May 2022, remdesivir probably has little or no effect on all-cause mortality or in-hospital mortality of individuals with moderate to severe COVID-19. The hospitalisation rate was reduced with remdesivir in one study including participants with mild to moderate COVID-19. It may be beneficial in the clinical course for both hospitalised and non-hospitalised patients, but certainty remains limited. The applicability of the evidence to current practice may be limited by the recruitment of participants from mostly unvaccinated populations exposed to early variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus at the time the studies were undertaken. Future studies should provide additional data on the efficacy and safety of remdesivir for defined core outcomes in COVID-19 research, especially for different population subgroups.

- Mental health problems and admissions to hospital for accidents and injuries in the UK military: A data linkage study. [Journal Article]

Clinicians treating individuals attending hospital after an accident should consider their healthcare needs holistically, including issues related to mental health and health damaging behaviours.
