Article Abstract
Objective: The objective of this proposed scoping review is to identify the tools available to assess the methodological quality of primary mixed methods or multi-method studies, and to determine the type and extent of psychometric testing and properties evaluated.
Introduction: Currently, JBI does not have an appraisal tool for primary mixed methods or multi-methods studies and recommends reviewers use the JBI qualitative tool and the relevant quantitative tool (based on study design) together. While useful, this does not allow reviewers to consider elements specifically related to the nuances of primary mixed methods studies.
Eligibility Criteria: Any tool, checklist, scale, instrument, criteria, system, or framework that has been designed to assess the methodological quality of primary mixed methods or multi-methods studies will be of interest. Adapted or modified versions of tools will also be considered, and any psychometric properties measured will be recorded. Published and unpublished primary studies, reviews, and textual evidence are eligible for inclusion in the review.
Methods: The review will follow JBI methodology for scoping reviews and be reported in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). The following databases and resources will be searched: CINAHL Ultimate (EBSCOhost), PubMed, PsycINFO (OvidSP), Embase, Scopus, medRxiv, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global (ProQuest), OSF, and Google Scholar. Various websites will also be searched. No language limits will be placed. Screening, data extraction, and data analysis will be conducted by 2 reviewers independently. Descriptive statistics and basic content analysis will be used to convey the results of the review, supplemented by a narrative synthesis and presented in tabular and graphical format.

HO and CO Sorption in Ion-Exchange Sorbents: Distinct Interactions in Amine Versus Quaternary Ammonium Materials.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
September 2025
The Steve Sanghi College of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona 86011, United States.
This study investigates the HO and CO sorption behavior of two chemically distinct polystyrene-divinylbenzene-based ion exchange sorbents: a primary amine and a permanently charged strong base quaternary ammonium (QA) group with (bi)carbonate counter anions. We compare their distinct interactions with HO and CO through simultaneous thermal gravimetric, calorimetric, gas analysis, and molecular modeling approaches to evaluate their performance for dilute CO separations like direct air capture. Thermal and hybrid (heat + low-temperature hydration) desorption experiments demonstrate that the QA-based sorbent binds both water and CO more strongly than the amine counterparts but undergoes degradation at moderate temperatures, limiting its compatibility with thermal swing regeneration.

Background: The loss of a loved one is a common yet stressful event in later life. Internet- and mobile-based interventions have been proposed as an effective treatment approach for individuals with prolonged grief.
Objective: The AgE-health study aimed to investigate the efficacy of an eHealth intervention, trauer@ktiv, in reducing prolonged grief symptoms in a sample of older adults.
Histologic Chorioamnionitis and Neurodevelopment in Preterm Infants.
JAMA Netw Open
September 2025
Perinatal Institute, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Importance: Exposure to inflammation from chorioamnionitis places the fetus at higher risk of premature birth and may increase the risk of neurodevelopmental impairments, though the evidence for the latter is mixed.
Objective: To evaluate whether moderate to severe histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) is directly associated with adverse motor performance, independent of the indirect mediating effects of premature birth.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective, population-based cohort study recruited participants between September 16, 2016, and November 19, 2019, from referral and nonreferral neonatal intensive care units of 5 southwestern Ohio hospitals.
Experiences and challenges of implementing clinical medication reviews in daily practice: a mixed-methods study.
Int J Clin Pharm
September 2025
Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacy, Amsterdam UMC Location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, De Boelelaan 1117, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Introduction: Organisational problems still prevent widespread implementation of clinical medication reviews. The Opti-Med2 method was developed to facilitate the process of performing clinical medication reviews. The method includes patient involvement by means of a questionnaire and expert teams of community pharmacists and general practitioners (GPs) to perform pharmacotherapeutic analyses, providing the patients' own GP with pharmacotherapeutic advice.

Objective(s): In this pilot study, exosomes from saliva were isolated and tested for the presence of metabolomic biomarkers for physiological external root resorption and/or pathological alveolar bone resorption.
Settings And Sample Population: Saliva samples of 20 individuals in the mixed dentition stage of dental development.
Materials And Methods: Saliva was obtained from healthy control children with resorbing primary teeth or children with localised aggressive periodontitis (LAP) showing alveolar bone loss but little root resorption.
