JOURNAL ARTICLE
Matthew Wallace, Lucinda Hiam, Robert Aldridge
INTRODUCTION: The 'second-generation' (i.e. the children of migrants) represent one of the fastest growing subpopulations of the child and young adult populations in Europe today. The research so far appears to indicate that their mortality risk is elevated relative to people with non-migrant backgrounds. SOURCES OF DATA: Peer-reviewed publications. AREAS OF AGREEMENT: Second-generation status is a clear marker of elevated mortality risk in Europe in early life (including stillbirth, perinatal, neonatal and infant mortality) and adulthood, particularly if the parent(s) were born outside of Europe...

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis results in reduced bone mass and consequent bone fragility. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be used for therapeutic purposes, as molecular targets or as useful markers to test new therapies. SOURCES OF DATA: A systematic search of different databases to May 2023 was performed to define the role of siRNAs in osteoporosis therapy. Fourteen suitable studies were identified. AREAS OF AGREEMENT: SiRNAs may be useful in studying metabolic processes in osteoporosis and identify possible therapeutic targets for novel drug therapies...

INTRODUCTION: It is unclear whether hydrodilatation is beneficial in the management of frozen shoulder compared with other common conservative management modalities. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of hydrodilatation for the management of frozen shoulder. SOURCES OF DATA: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. An extensive search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Central, Web of Science and CINAHL databases using multiple keyword combinations of 'shoulder', 'rotator', 'adhesive capsulitis', 'hydrodilatat*', 'distension' since inception of the databases to June 2023 was implemented...

INTRODUCTION: In haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from a healthy donor replace the patient's ones. Ex vivo HSC gene therapy (HSC-GT) is a form of HSCT in which HSCs, usually from an autologous source, are genetically modified before infusion, to generate a progeny of gene-modified cells. In HSCT and HSC-GT, chemotherapy is administered before infusion to free space in the bone marrow (BM) niche, which is required for the engraftment of infused cells...

BACKGROUND: Joint hypermobility (JHM) is a common physical trait. It may occur alone or in combination with musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, outside or within more complex phenotypes. Hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) are diagnosed in individuals with JHM and related MSK pain, when an alternative diagnosis cannot be identified. Conversely, the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) encompasses a group of rare hereditary connective tissue disorders featuring JHM along with other pleiotropic manifestations...

INTRODUCTION: Transient bone osteoporosis (TBO) is characterized by persistent pain, loss of function, no history of trauma and magnetic resonance image (MRI) findings of bone marrow edema. SOURCE OF DATA: PubMed, Google scholar, EMABSE and Web of Science were accessed in February 2023. No time constrains were used for the search.

INTRODUCTION: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in a race to develop effective treatments largely through drug repurposing via adaptive platform trials on a global scale. Drug repurposing trials have focused on potential antiviral therapies aimed at preventing viral replication, anti-inflammatory agents, antithrombotic agents and immune modulators through a number of adaptive platform trials. Living systematic reviews have also enabled evidence synthesis and network meta-analysis as clinical trial data emerge globally...

BACKGROUND: We sought to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on lipid-lowering therapy prescribing as a potential cause of the excess cardiovascular mortality seen post-pandemic in England. We examined temporal changes over 3 years in the prescribing of high-intensity and non-high-intensity statin therapy and ezetimibe. SOURCES OF DATA: We utilized data available via the National Health Service (NHS) Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) Information Services Data Warehouse, extracting 3 monthly data from October 2018 to December 2021 on high- and low-intensity statin and ezetimibe prescribing, (commencement, cessation or continuation) through each time period of study and those before, and after, the period of interest...
