{"title":"Representing Physician Suicide Claims as Nanopublications: Proof-of-Concept Study Creating Claim Networks","authors":"Tiffany I. Leung, T. Kuhn, M. Dumontier","doi":"10.2196/34979","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2196/34979","url":null,"abstract":"Background In the poorly studied field of physician suicide, various factors can contribute to misinformation or information distortion, which in turn can influence evidence-based policies and prevention of suicide in this unique population. Objective The aim of this paper is to use nanopublications as a scientific publishing approach to establish a citation network of claims in peer-reviewed publications about the rate of suicide among US physicians. Methods A list of articles from a previously published scoping literature review on physician suicide was used to identify those articles that commented on or investigated suicidal behaviors of physician populations, including students, postgraduate trainees, and practicing physicians. The included articles were from peer-reviewed publications and asserted a claim about the annual rate of physician suicide. Manual data extraction was performed to collect article (or resource) type, title, authors, digital object identifier or URI, publication year, claim (about annual physician suicide rate), data of last access of the article (eg, for a webpage), and citations supporting the claim. Additional articles, websites, or other links were only added to the set of claims if they were cited by a peer-reviewed article already included in the data set. A nanopublication was created for each article or resource using Nanobench with an investigator-developed literature-based claim nanopublication template. Results A set of 49 claims concerning the rate of US physician suicide was represented as nanopublications. Analysis of the claim network revealed that (1) the network is not fully connected, (2) no single primary source of the claim could be identified, and (3) all end-point citations had a claim with no further citation, had no apparent claim, or could not be accessed to verify the claim. The nanopublication strategy also enabled the capture of variant claims published on a website. Conclusions Nanopublications remain to be adopted in broader scientific publishing in medicine, especially in publishing about physician mental health and suicide. This proof-of-concept study highlights an opportunity for more coordinated research efforts in the subject of physician suicide. Our work integrates these various claims and enables the verification of nonauthoritative assertions, thereby better equipping researchers to advance evidence-based knowledge and to make informed statements in the advocacy of physician suicide prevention. Representing physician suicide rate claims as nanopublications can be extended and improved in future work.","PeriodicalId":73558,"journal":{"name":"JMIRx med","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42987982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were randomly assigned into 3 intervention groups, including isometric (n=18), isotonic (n=19) and PNF (n=20) exercises, and 1 control group (n=19) with no intervention. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) and the CPM responses at myofascial trigger point, arm and leg sites were assessed before and after exercise session.\u0000\u0000ResultsThere was an increase in PPT and CPM responses at trigger point, arm and leg sites in participants performed PNF and isotonic exercise, while the isometric exercise only increased PPT at leg sites. Compared with control group, both isotonic and PNF group showed greater EIH responses at the trigger points. However, only the PNF exercise significantly improved PPT and CPM responses at arm and leg sites compared to the control group.\u0000\u0000ConclusionsPNF, isotonic and isometric exercises could lead to local and global EIH effect. The increase in CPM response after PNF and isotonic exercises indicated that the EIH mechanisms of different resistance exercises may be attributed to the enhancement of the central descending pain inhibition.","PeriodicalId":73558,"journal":{"name":"JMIRx med","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62347093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
