Using photovoice to engage underserved children with neurodevelopmental disorders and their caregivers in health research: a mixed methods systematic review.

Introduction: Limited guidance exists for researchers wanting to use photovoice to engage children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), 0-25 years, and their caregivers in health research. This mixed-methods systematic review synthesized photovoice research with this population with attention to children and caregivers from diverse backgrounds. Diversity of study participants, research areas that have used photovoice with this population, feasibility considerations (adaptations, contextual considerations, practicality), and recommendations provided by study authors were of interest.

Comparing Soy and Milk Protein Regulation of Hepatic Omega-3 Fatty Acid Biosynthesis.

The omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have numerous benefits, including strong anti-inflammatory and triglyceride-lowering properties. EPA and DHA are primarily obtained by consuming fatty fish; however, they are also endogenously synthesized primarily in the liver from α-linolenic acid (ALA) through a pathway mediated by the delta-6 desaturase (D6D) enzyme. Previous reports in rodents and humans suggest that dietary proteins such as soy and dairy may impact this pathway differently.

Integration of machine learning and viscoelastic testing to improve survival prediction in horses experiencing acute abdominal pain at a veterinary teaching hospital.

Background: Viscoelastic coagulation testing (VCT) identifies subclinical disruption of coagulation homeostasis and may improve prognostication, particularly for patients with severe systemic inflammation or shock. Machine learning (ML) algorithms may capture complex relationships between clinical variables better than linear regression (GLM).

Objective: To evaluate the utility of ML models incorporating VCT and clinical data to predict survival outcomes in horses with acute abdominal pain.

Understanding the current evidence base for the commonly recommended management strategies for recurrent feline idiopathic cystitis: a systematic review.

Objectives: This systematic review aims to describe and understand the evidence available for commonly recommended management strategies for feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) to provide guidance for clinicians in their treatment of this condition. A subsequent objective was to identify gaps in the literature and areas where future research may be directed.

Methods: A computerised search of three electronic databases (Discover, Scopus and PubMed) was performed.

Empowering Stigmatized Voices: Cocreating a Curriculum on Pain and Opioid Use Disorder With Patient Partners.

Purpose: This study explores the partnership experiences of patient and health care professional (HCP) subject matter experts (SMEs) in cocreating educational content and examines their reflections on how to better support educational partnerships in future initiatives.

Method: In this qualitative, exploratory study, semistructured interviews of patient and HCP SMEs were conducted between February and August 2022. Interviews were conducted with videoconferencing software, audio recorded, and transcribed verbatim.
