OBJECTIVE: To know, analyze and compare kidney transplant programs; considering the survival of recipients at 1 and 5 years, from hospitals in Mexico. METHOD: A systematic review was carried out whose search focused on the survival of kidney transplant recipients. All publications found in PubMed and Google from 1963 to 2021 were included. The expectation-maximization algorithm was applied, proposing a mixture of normals, and hierarchical grouping to establish if there is any type of pattern and determine if there is a difference between the percentages...

AIM: This meta-analysis aimed to assess the precision of Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to distinguish hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from focal liver lesions (FLLs). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched and checked for studies using Sonazoid CEUS to characterize HCC. A comprehensive meta-analysis was conducted, involving data pooling, subgroup analyses, meta-regression, and investigation of publication bias...

Antecedents of racist treatments of Black patients by the psychiatric profession in the United States affect the way they view treatment today. Specifically, in this essay, we explore the enduring consequences of racial science on various treatment practices. We examined a range of primary sources on the history of racial theories about the mind, medical and psychiatric publications, and hospitals. We contextualize this analysis by examining the secondary literature in the history and sociology of psychiatry...

PURPOSE: Psychosocial distress negatively impacts coping and adaptation among young men (aged 18 to 44 years) who have sex with men (YMSM) with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV. However, the stressors and risky behaviors associated with psychosocial distress that impair viral suppression have not been clearly explicated. The current scoping review was conducted to explore the extant literature and identify research gaps. METHOD: PubMed and CINAHL were searched for peer-reviewed publications, with a total of eight articles meeting inclusion criteria...

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer (PC) continues to rank as one of the deadliest forms of cancer, with the majority of patients being diagnosed with unresectable disease. The implementation of cryoablation-based comprehensive treatment is expected to lead to a reduction in tumor size and potentially achieve complete resection. However, the availability of systematic and evidence-based treatment guidelines for cryoablation in pancreatic cancer is currently limited. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A computerized search was conducted in the Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library databases, and Clinicaltrials to retrieve studies published from August 1987 to June 2023...

REVIEW

Manganese (Mn) is an important microelement for the mineral nutrition of plants, but it is not effectively absorbed from the soil and mineral salts added thereto and can also be toxic in high concentrations. Mn nanoparticles (NPs) are less toxic, more effective, and economical than Mn salts due to their nanosize. This article critically reviews the current publications on Mn NPs, focusing on their effects on plant health, growth, and stress tolerance, and explaining possible mechanisms of their effects. This review also provides basic information and examples of chemical, physical, and ecological ("green") methods for the synthesis of Mn NPs...

Social contact (SC) has been identified as a promising strategy for stigma reduction. Different types of SC exist. Various scholars defined positive factors to strengthen SC. This study aims to investigate the application and effectiveness of SC as a strategy to reduce stigmatisation across stigmas, settings and populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We specifically examine the use of positive factors. A systematic review was conducted in twelve electronic databases using key terms related to stigma AND social contact AND intervention AND LMICs...

IMPORTANCE: Disruption in school and the workplace are health concerns for transgender people. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate transgender individuals' thoughts and comfort with how others perceive their gender identity (social affirmation) and its association with outness in the workplace and mistreatment at work or school. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey.

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Visual intention understanding is a challenging task that explores the hidden intention behind the images of publishers in social media. Visual intention represents implicit semantics, whose ambiguous definition inevitably leads to label shifting and label blemish. The former indicates that the same image delivers intention discrepancies under different data augmentations, while the latter represents that the label of intention data is susceptible to errors or omissions during the annotation process. This paper proposes a novel method, called Label-aware Calibration and Relation-preserving (LabCR) to alleviate the above two problems from both intra-sample and inter-sample views...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Unsupervised object discovery (UOD) refers to the task of discriminating the whole region of objects from the background within a scene without relying on labeled datasets, which benefits the task of bounding-box-level localization and pixel-level segmentation. This task is promising due to its ability to discover objects in a generic manner. We roughly categorize existing techniques into two main directions, namely the generative solutions based on image resynthesis, and the clustering methods based on self-supervised models...

OBJECTIVE: To systematically analyze the accuracy of ultrasonic techniques in assessing the nature of gastric contents and their volume. METHODS: English-language articles that used ultrasonic techniques to assess the nature of gastric contents and their volume in patients were selected. In eligible studies, data were recalculated and analyzed for forest plots and subject summary curves of operating characteristics (SROC). Study quality was assessed using the diagnostic accuracy study quality assessment tool QUADAS-2...

BACKGROUND: The responsible use of 3D-printing in medicine includes a context-based quality assurance. Considerable literature has been published in this field, yet the quality of assessment varies widely. The limited discriminatory power of some assessment methods challenges the comparison of results. The total error for patient specific anatomical models comprises relevant partial errors of the production process: segmentation error (SegE), digital editing error (DEE), printing error (PrE)...

PURPOSE: Although traumatic rhabdomyolysis (TR) is shown to be associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), there are no large prospective epidemiological studies, interventional trials, official guidelines outlining the appropriate investigation, monitoring, and treatment on this poorly understood condition. We aimed to establish the contemporary epidemiology and describe current practices for TR to power future higher quality studies. We hypothesised that investigation and monitoring occur in an ad hoc fashion...

BACKGROUND: Social media posts by clinicians are not bound by the same rules as peer-reviewed publications, raising ethical concerns that have not been extensively characterized or quantified. OBJECTIVE: We aim to develop a scale to assess ethical issues on medical social media (SoMe) and use it to determine the prevalence of these issues among posts with 3 different hashtags: #MedTwitter, #IRad, and #CardioTwitter. METHODS: A scale was developed based on previous descriptions of professionalism and validated via semistructured cognitive interviewing with a sample of 11 clinicians and trainees, interrater agreement, and correlation of 100 posts...

REVIEW
Tobias Hirsch, Uwe Wahl, Eberhard Rabe
<b/> Background: Forced postures are common in the workplace. Work in the primary economic sector is characterised by a high degree of physical activity and movement; however, activities in the secondary and tertiary sectors commonly require workers to stand or sit. An expansion of the tertiary sector in recent decades has meant that people in industrialised and emerging economies primarily sit or stand at work. The aim of the systematic review was to identify occupational factors relating to the presence of chronic venous disease (CVD), to place these in the context of developments in the workplace, and to determine whether measures are in place to prevent CVD...
