Comparative Effectiveness of Water-Based Versus Land-Based Rehabilitation in COPD: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
No full textThe goal of this systematic review is to determine if the effects of water-based pulmonary rehabilitation compared to the effects of land-based pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD patients regarding exercise capacity and quality of life.
The PICOs framework is:
P=COPD patients 18 years old and older with no severity restriction
I=water-based pulmonary rehabilitation
C=land-based pulmonary rehabilitation and/or control
O=6 Minute Walking Test (6MWT), Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT), Endurance Shuttle Walk Test (ESWT), Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRDQ), St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), Borg scale, Sp02%
s=only randomized clinical trial

No full textThis is a pooled analysis of the relationship between risk behavior and anxiety in adolescent
Self-regulation and Resource Scarcity: A Follow-up Study
No full textThis study will aim to replicate and extend the findings of our preregistered study "Resource Scarcity and Self-Regulation" in a wider more representative sample. The current study will expand on the previous study by exploring the relationship between perceived resource scarcity, perception of new goals and goal obstruction
Can Personality Traits be predicted from Resting EEG Oscillations? A Replication Study
No full textThe current project aims to conceptually replicate the study from Jach et al. (2020) with the data obtained from the EEG Personality Project
“Technology-facilitate” framing or “Technology-dominate” framing: A survey-based experiment to examine affective attitudes and mental representation toward vaccination among Hong Kong parents and general adults
No full textIn the current study, we aim to test two interventions to improve parental and general public's affective attitudes and mental representation regarding vaccination. In our previous studies conducted amongst parents, we found that fear of the intrusiveness of vaccination or preference for natural method to protect children from infectious diseases is the major psychological value underlying parent's vaccination decision-making process. Such psychologcial value may be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic when people encountered with a novel vaccine and had to make multiple vaccination decisions for their children at the same time, subsequently, increased parental overall vaccine hesitancy. Here, we will test two intervention conditions to assess whether using a "Technology-dominante" framing narrative or "Technology-facilitate" framing narrative to communicate vaccination can increase positive feelings toward vaccines and reduce vaccine hesitancy

Preventable deaths involving surgery: a systematic analysis of coroners’ case reports in England and Wales 2013-2023
No full text1.0 Background
Globally, 313 million surgical procedures are performed each year (1). However, of those 4.2 million people die within 30 days of the operation (2). In England and Wales over 3.1 million surgical procedures were undertaken in 2020 (3). It is estimated that in the United Kingdom (UK) death occurs within 30 days after 1.1% of operations and within 90 days after 2.3% (4). A systematic review and meta-analysis in medical settings suggests that preventable patient harm is more prevalent in surgical settings (10%) than in the overall patient population (6%) (5). Similarly, a retrospective case record review of acute hospitals in England showed that patients admitted under surgical specialists were more likely to have a preventable death than those under medical ones (6). Although evidence hints at an important association between surgery and preventable deaths, the operations involved, the types of harms that lead to death, and the reasons for such harms remain underexplored.
Unlike pharmacological interventions, which have robust regulatory processes and national agencies (e.g. the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency - MHRA), the regulation of surgical interventions is more complex (7). Surgeons are regulated by the General Medical Council (GMC) and hospitals are reviewed by various bodies, including the Care Quality Commission (CQC) (8). The Royal College of Surgeons and specialty associations provide guidance on surgical practice (9). However, there is no single overarching vigilance system for collecting harms from all surgical procedures to improve learning.
For medical products, the MHRA’s Yellow Card Scheme collects information on suspected harms from healthcare products in the UK, including medications, vaccines, and medical devices (10). Both the public and healthcare professionals can report safety concerns, such as a suspected adverse reaction to a medication. Surgical registries in the UK are used to collect information about outcomes of specific surgical procedures; these include the National Joint Registry (NJR), the National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD), and the National Bariatric Surgery Registry (NBSR) (11).
Since 1984, coroners in England and Wales have had a duty to report and communicate details of deaths when the coroner believes that action should be taken to prevent future deaths (12). Prevention of Future Deaths reports, henceforth referred to as PFDs, were introduced to provide coroners with an official system for reporting such deaths. PFDs are mandated under Paragraph 7 of Schedule 5 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, and under Regulations 28 and 29 of the Coroners (Investigations) Regulations 2013 (13,14). If a coroner deems that a death could have been prevented, it is their duty to write a PFD and to send it to individuals and/or organisations that are capable of action. When a person or organisation receives a PFD report from a coroner, they have 56 days in which they must respond by statute. The PFD system has three processes: 1) coroners generate PFDs and send them to relevant parties; 2) recipients respond to concerns raised in PFDs and propose actions; 3) recipients undertake proposed actions to prevent similar deaths.
A narrative review of studies investigating PFDs identified 17 publications that examined PFDs (15). Most included studies explored preventable deaths involving medicines (n=8; 47%). The review explored the strengths and limitations of PFDs and showed that PFDs offer important information that could support hospitals to improve patient safety. However, the review also identified inconsistent reporting, low response rates to PFDs, and difficulty in accessing, analysing, and monitoring PFDs, which currently limits their use. Deaths involving surgery had not yet been researched. Investigation of PFDs involving surgery could provide insights for improving patient safety as well as an approach for vigilance to improve learning and reduce risks for individuals undergoing surgery
Research Status and Trends of Consciousness in Neuroscience From 1998 to 2022: A Scientometric Analysis
No full textDue to the enormous volume of scientific literature on consciousness research, comprehensive literature reviews are still lacking. Scientometrics can reveal the structure and evolution of a knowledge domain on a larger time scale and in a broader research context (Chen, 2017). Therefore, this study proposes a research protocol for knowledge domain analysis, aiming to reveal the intellectual structure of consciousness studies and provide insights for the development of future research
Language understanding in children: a good enough comprehension ?
No full textWe study understanding of sentences in children within the framework of the good-enough theory of language comprehension developed for adults (Ferreira, Bailey and Ferraro, 2002). Our main hypothesis is that while children are able to understand language in a very good way, they may only understand it in a good enough way like adults do. This type of comprehension would allow children to communicate while keeping the cognitive cost at a decent level.
We investigated such comprehension by exposing children to questions with or without a mistake. For example, in the question “In the Lion King, what colors are the tigers ?”, we exchanged “lions” with “tigers”. Children who understand sentences in a good enough way could, under certain circumstances, not consider the mistakes and answer the question as if we stated the right word. We choose to present our questions under two conditions: the speed condition where children had to answer the questions with time pressure and the precision condition where children have to find errors in the questions without any time pressure
