AI algorithms have frequently been used in health care for predictive modelling, image analysis and drug discovery. Moreover, as a recommender system, these algorithms have shown promising impacts on personalized healthcare provision. A recommender system learns the behaviour of the user and predicts their current preferences (recommends) based on their previous preferences. Implementing AI as a recommender system improves this prediction accuracy and solves cold start and data sparsity problems. However, most of the methods and algorithms are tested in a simulated setting which cannot recapitulate the influencing factors of the real world. This review article systematically reviews prevailing methodologies in recommender systems and discusses the AI algorithms as recommender systems specifically in the field of healthcare. It also provides discussion around the most cutting-edge academic and practical contributions present in the literature, identifies performance evaluation matrices, challenges in the implementation of AI as a recommender system, and acceptance of AI-based recommender systems by clinicians. The findings of this article direct researchers and professionals to comprehend currently developed recommender systems and the future of medical devices integrated with real-time recommender systems for personalized healthcare.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73214,"journal":{"name":"Health sciences review (Oxford, England)","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772632024000035/pdfft?md5=186657276eb1c8c06c8cb477e66360a1&pid=1-s2.0-S2772632024000035-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139674814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identification of people at risk of PTSD is an important component of holistic, evidence-based care in trauma centres. This is also increasingly becoming a recommendation across Level 1 Trauma Centres worldwide. The purpose of this paper was to systematically review published literature regarding factors that increase or decrease one's risk of PTSD within a year of admission to a trauma hospital. Systematic review methodology was implemented with utilisation of extensive search criteria. This broadened search strategy was used to address some identified limitations in titles and abstracts of relevant papers. Forward and backward citation of included papers was implemented to ascertain secondary sources. Titles, abstracts, and full texts were independently reviewed by two authors. Sixty-one papers met inclusion criteria and 58 predictors were analysed with at least one analysis. There was strong scientific evidence for assault, acute stress disorder, and baseline pain as predictors of PTSD. There was strong scientific evidence that age, education, ethnicity, premorbid health concerns, marital status, injury severity, mechanism of injury, and length of stay were <em>not</em> predictors. Several methodological concerns were identified across the included papers, such as heterogeneity in operational definitions of predictors and lack of application to theoretical frameworks of PTSD. Gaps remain in the literature regarding the impact of risk factors included in well-known frameworks such as the cognitive model of PTSD, requiring future research to inform appropriate early intervention in this at-risk population.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73214,"journal":{"name":"Health sciences review (Oxford, England)","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772632023000739/pdfft?md5=3523b2298d4fe9c019b857732ccad358&pid=1-s2.0-S2772632023000739-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139653660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beige adipocytes originate in white adipose tissue (WAT) through the tissue browning process and are phenotypically similar to brown adipocytes. Considering that the activity of these cells is essential to reduce the incidence of metabolic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia, the stimulation of the brown fat and the development of beige adipose tissue has become a promising therapeutic target to treat clinical conditions. Due to the low amount of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in human adults, both phenomena (i.e., activation of brown and development of beige adipocytes) are related to better control of body weight, adiposity, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidemia. This review focuses on the comprehensively discussion of the metabolic importance of BAT activation and/or browning of WAT, and approaches that lead to the biogenesis of these thermogenic fats, such as cold exposure, thyroid hormones, physical exercise, diet and pharmacological agents (i.e., β3-adrenergic receptor agonist, glucagon-like peptide 1, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, ephedrine). These stimulatory agents have shown promise in activating BAT in humans. Frow our review, concluded that there are still many obstacles to be overcome in the upcoming years to better assess the real impact of BAT activation on metabolic health (i.e., absence of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome), and elucidate many questions surrounding BAT physiology, so that this organ can indeed be considered an attractive therapeutic target for the prevention and reversal of obesity and metabolic disorders.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73214,"journal":{"name":"Health sciences review (Oxford, England)","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772632024000011/pdfft?md5=bed0ef302d02c0f57fb296db142943c7&pid=1-s2.0-S2772632024000011-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139419304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chronic inflammation fuels cancer development and progression by promoting cellular transformation, survival, invasion, and metastasis, while cancer can create an inflammatory microenvironment, further enhancing its growth and invasiveness. Inflammasome activation also plays a crucial role in liver fibrosis which is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrix components in the liver. This review aims to explore the efficacy of ORA and its mechanisms of action in these disease contexts. ORA targets hepatic stellate cells, key players in the development of liver fibrosis. By modulating signaling pathways such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), ORA effectively inhibits HSC activation and reduces the production of excessive extracellular matrix proteins. ORA exhibits a multitude of beneficial effects in cancer treatment. It demonstrates anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-metastatic, and anti-angiogenic properties by interfering with various molecular pathways involved in cancer progression. ORA displays anti-inflammatory properties by suppressing the production of proinflammatory cytokines and influencing signaling pathways. This mechanism allows ORA to mitigate inflammation, a hallmark of many diseases, including inflammatory conditions. The therapeutic potential of ORA opens up new avenues for drug discovery and development. Ongoing research focuses on exploring new plant sources and novel compounds to expand the range of natural therapeutic candidates. Overall, this review highlights the comprehensive potential of ORA as a safe therapeutic agent. In the field of chronic diseases, ORA has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anti-cancer potentials, making it an interesting compound for research</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73214,"journal":{"name":"Health sciences review (Oxford, England)","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772632023000697/pdfft?md5=422d9834d4daf007d6b850421f21f9cb&pid=1-s2.0-S2772632023000697-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138769706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Soccer players are particularly prone to mTBI as they are exposed to head impacts in various ways during training and gameplay. A commonly-claimed TBI risk is that posed by the \"heading\" technique. Our examination of the literature questions the extent to which heading actually is a risk for TBI and mTBI vs other sources of head impact in soccer. Although headgear may protect against some impacts, it has not been widely adopted due to limited efficacy, practical limitations and potential changes to the heading technique. Nevertheless, accurate assessment of head impacts and other movements that may lead to TBI in soccer would be valuable to players, coaches, athletic and medical personnel. A potential method for accurately detecting head acceleration – a crucial element of most head injuries – is measurements through accelerometers.

This scoping review followed guidelines from the Joanna Briggs Institute and the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews. In July 2022, we searched Ovid Embase and MEDLINE for published articles on lung transplants, published between 2011 and 2021, written in English, and examining at least one health inequity as defined by the NIH. Screening and charting were both performed in a masked, duplicate fashion. The frequency of each health inequity examined was analyzed, and findings from each included study were summarized. After screening, our sample contained 33 studies. Our findings illustrate that patients living further from lung transplant centers were less likely to be placed on the lung transplant waitlist. Further, non-white patients, women, and people who lived in low-income areas were less likely to undergo lung transplantation. Non-white patients also experienced increased mortality post-lung transplantation. Significant research gaps were found regarding the LGBTQ+ community, occupational status, income, and education level. This scoping review highlights the gaps in research regarding lung transplant inequities.
