(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/meta-analyses-systematic-reviews/e29/) The clinical course of acute, subacute and persistent low back pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis [Research]
Feb 15th 2024, 13:42

Background:
Understanding the clinical course of low back pain is essential to informing treatment recommendations and patient stratification. Our aim was to update our previous systematic review and meta-analysis to gain a better understanding of the clinical course of acute, subacute and persistent low back pain.
Methods:
To update our 2012 systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched the Embase, MEDLINE and CINAHL databases from 2011 until January 2023, using our previous search strategy. We included prospective inception cohort studies if they reported on participants with acute (< 6 wk), subacute (6 to less than 12 wk) or persistent (12 to less than 52 wk) nonspecific low back pain at study entry. Primary outcome measures included pain and disability (0–100 scale). We assessed risk of bias of included studies using a modified tool and assessed the level of confidence in pooled estimates using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tool. We used a mixed model design to calculate pooled estimates (mean, 95% confidence interval [CI]) of pain and disability at 0, 6, 12, 26 and 52 weeks. We treated time in 2 ways: time since study entry (inception time uncorrected) and time since pain onset (inception time corrected). We transformed the latter by adding the mean inception time to the time of study entry.
Results:
We included 95 studies, with 60 separate cohorts in the systematic review (n = 17 974) and 47 cohorts (n = 9224) in the meta-analysis. Risk of bias of included studies was variable, with poor study attrition and follow-up, and most studies did not select participants as consecutive cases. For the acute pain cohort, the estimated mean pain score with inception time uncorrected was 56 (95% CI 49–62) at baseline, 26 (95% CI 21–31) at 6 weeks, 22 (95% CI 18–26) at 26 weeks and 21 (95% CI 17–25) at 52 weeks (moderate-certainty evidence). For the subacute pain cohort, the mean pain score was 63 (95% CI 55–71) at baseline, 29 (95% CI 22–37) at 6 weeks, 29 (95% CI 22–36) at 26 weeks and 31 (95% 23–39) at 52 weeks (moderate-certainty evidence). For the persistent pain cohort, the mean pain score was 56 (95% CI 37–74) at baseline, 48 (95% CI 32–64) at 6 weeks, 43 (95% CI 29–57) at 26 weeks and 40 (95% CI 27–54) at 52 weeks (very low–certainty evidence). The clinical course of disability was slightly more favourable than the clinical course of pain.
Interpretation:
Participants with acute and subacute low back pain had substantial improvements in levels of pain and disability within the first 6 weeks ( moderate-certainty evidence); however, participants with persistent low back pain had high levels of pain and disability with minimal improvements over time (very low–certainty evidence). Identifying and escalating care in individuals with subacute low back pain who are recovering slowly could be a focus of intervention to reduce the likelihood of transition into persistent low back pain.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/bmsp-12332/) A cluster differences unfolding method for large datasets of preference ratings on an interval scale: Minimizing the mean squared centred residuals
Feb 15th 2024, 12:31

Abstract
Clustering and spatial representation methods are often used in combination, to analyse preference ratings when a large number of individuals and/or object is involved. When analysed under an unfolding model, row-conditional linear transformations are usually most appropriate when the goal is to determine clusters of individuals with similar preferences. However, a significant problem with transformations that include both slope and intercept is the occurrence of degenerate solutions. In this paper, we propose a least squares unfolding method that performs clustering of individuals while simultaneously estimating the location of cluster centres and object locations in low-dimensional space. The method is based on minimising the mean squared centred residuals of the preference ratings with respect to the distances between cluster centres and object locations. At the same time, the distances are row-conditionally transformed with optimally estimated slope parameters. It is computationally efficient for large datasets, and does not suffer from the appearance of degenerate solutions. The performance of the method is analysed in an extensive Monte Carlo experiment. It is illustrated for a real data set and the results are compared with those obtained using a two-step clustering and unfolding procedure.

Feb 15th 2024, 11:47

Abstract
The current study examined how personal and career factors impact professional quality of life for mental health professionals who are immigrants in the United States (n = 108). Professional quality of life was measured with constructs of compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue, and burnout. Researchers explored which personal and career factors best predicted compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue related to work environments in mental health using correlational analysis. Demands of immigration and frequent experiences of discrimination significantly predicted high compassion fatigue and low compassion satisfaction. Findings and implications explore career wellness and longevity for mental health professionals who are immigrants.

Feb 15th 2024, 10:47

Abstract
Youth exposed to natural disasters are at risk of developing trauma-related symptoms as well as engaging in substance use. Although previous research has established associations between disaster-related stressors and substance use in youth, less has focused on how symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may underpin this association. The current study used network analysis to identify specific PTSD symptoms associated with substance use following a natural disaster. Participants were 91,732 youths (Grades 3–12) from across Puerto Rico who completed a needs assessment 5–9 months after Hurricane Maria made landfall in September 2017. We examined associations between PTSD symptoms and substance use, identified clusters of symptoms and bridges between them, and explored age- and binary gender–related differences in associations between specific PTSD symptoms and substance use. Analyses identified two symptom communities: (a) arousal and reactivity, negative alterations in cognition and mood, and substance use, and (b) avoidance and intrusion. Broader findings suggested that substance use was most strongly associated with PTSD-related irritability and angry outbursts among youths. Surrounding nodes explained only 4.1% of the variance in substance use, but this was higher among youths who reported not having a supportive adult, R2 = 8.5; friend, R2 = 7.9; or teacher/counselor, R2 = 7.7, in their life. The bridge symptoms of sleep disruption and physiological reactivity were identified as potentially critical intervention targets for disrupting PTSD symptom networks after a natural disaster. Implications for triaged mental health care following natural disasters and directions for future research are discussed.

Thank you for featuring the extraordinary civic leadership of Katherine and Hubie Jones… As one of Hubie’s many longtime mentees, I always enjoy being reminded of his countless contributions. However, I was disappointed that the article did not mention his inspired leadership as dean of the Boston University School of Social Work from 1977 to 1993. As the school’s first Black dean, he shaped that institution for decades to come.

Feb 15th 2024, 08:33

Psychological Assessment, Vol 35(12), Dec 2023, 1085-1097; doi:10.1037/pas0001279
This study evaluated the interrater reliability, convergent and divergent validity, incremental validity, and clinical prognostic utility of the Clinical Assessment of Prosocial Emotions (CAPE; Frick, 2013) for assessing limited prosocial emotions (LPE). Participants were 232 young children (Mage = 3.94 years, SD = 1.46, range = 2–8; 74.6% boys) clinic-referred for conduct problems. We scored the CAPE using binary and dimensional scoring approaches and measured outcomes using parent-report and child laboratory measures. CAPE LPE symptom ratings had good interrater reliability. Children diagnosed with pretreatment LPE had more severe externalizing problems and lower empathy than children without LPE but did not differ in emotion recognition accuracy or anxiety. Dimensional CAPE symptom sum scores were associated with criterion variable scores in expected ways and offered incremental validity beyond scores on the parent-report Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits for predicting conduct problem severity, aggression, empathy deficits, and global emotion recognition accuracy. Among children who completed parent management training (n = 44), those diagnosed with LPE ended treatment with more severe aggressive behavior than those without LPE. Overall, children diagnosed with CAPE LPE have severe externalizing problems and achieve reduced benefits from standard parent management training, supporting the need for tailored and intensive interventions to maximize treatment outcomes.

Feb 15th 2024, 07:34

Abstract
Objectives
The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with functioning in participants with and without borderline personality disorder (BPD). In particular, we were interested whether mentalizing and related social cognitive capacities, as factors of internal functioning, are important in predicting psychosocial functioning, in addition to other psychopathological and sociodemographic factors.
Method
This is a cross-sectional study with N = 53 right-handed females with and without BPD, without significant differences in age, IQ, and socioeconomic status, who completed semi-structured diagnostic and self-report measures of social cognition. Mentalizing was assessed using the Reflective Functioning Scale based on transcribed Adult Attachment Interviews. A regularized regression with the elastic net penalty was deployed to investigate whether mentalizing and social cognition predict psychosocial functioning.
Results
Borderline personality disorder symptom severity, sexual abuse trauma, and social and socio-economic factors ranked as the most important variables in predicting psychosocial functioning, while reflective functioning (RF) was somewhat less important in the prediction, social cognitive functioning and sociodemographic variables were least important.
Conclusions
Borderline personality disorder symptom severity was most important in determining functional impairment, alongside trauma related to sexual abuse as well as social and socio-economic factors. These findings verify that BPD symptoms themselves most robustly predict functional impairment, followed by history of sexual abuse, then contextual factors (e.g. housing, financial, physical health), and then RF. These results lend marginal support to the conceptualization that mentalizing may enhance psychosocial functioning by facilitating social learning, but emphasize symptom reduction and stabilization of life context as key intervention targets.

Feb 15th 2024, 05:32

Abstract
Objective
One-third of all global suicide deaths occur among adolescents and young adults, making suicide the second leading cause of death among young people. Nearly 80% of suicide deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, and many African nations have higher rates of suicide than global averages. However, interventions are scarce. We conducted a scoping review of counseling interventions for suicide prevention among youth in Africa.
Method
We performed structured searches of the Medline, Embase, PyscINFO, African Index Medicus, Global Heath Database, and Proquest Dissertations and Theses Global databases. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they described a counseling intervention conducted in Africa, focused on participants under age 22, and included a suicide-related outcome.
Results
After removal of duplicates, 1808 titles and abstracts were screened and 10 studies were identified for full-text review. Of these, six included adult participants and did not disaggregate results for youth, two did not describe an intervention, and two did not include a relevant outcome. Thus, no studies were eligible for inclusion.
Conclusions
This empty review highlights the striking absence of published research on a life-threatening public health challenge, representing a distinct call to action for improved efforts in adolescent suicide prevention in Africa.

Feb 15th 2024, 02:06

Abstract
China’s footprint of development on the African continent is increasing exponentially. As a result, China is Africa’s largest trading partner and a crucial source of infrastructure investment. But, in the aftermath of the coming of China, the issues of human rights violations in Africa were intensely and frequently raised, and, the China-Africa relationship faced so many criticisms from the perspective of human rights issues. Chinese involvement in Africa is economic exploitation from a Marxist viewpoint, power and influence for realists, and cooperation and mutual gain (win–win relation) for liberalist. Therefore, this study seeks to address the effects of China’s foreign policy and relation to the human rights protection and promotion of selected African states (IGAD member states). This manuscript has used secondary sources of data, including books and journals written by different international law, political science, and political economy experts and scholars. The foreign policy of states and their relationship is governed by the national interest which each state needs to objectively achieve, protect, and govern their interaction. Hence, China’s engagement with Africa has improved the human rights conditions of millions of Africans because China stresses protecting the rights of the African people through China’s development and cooperation with Africa, its aid to Africa, and Africa’s cooperation with China based on a mutual benefit is realizing human rights beyond economic growth. Yet, China should be liberal, and African states should build their domestic economic and political power to balance their gain and loss in international relations.

Feb 15th 2024, 01:06

Administration &Society, Ahead of Print. Governments often disclose pandemic-related information to reduce public mobility behavior during the initial outbreak stage of a pandemic like COVID-19. Previous studies have examined the effects of whether to disclose relevant information on public behavior but neglected the effects of information content. Based on the disclosed personal information of COVID-19 confirmed cases from 316 cities in China, we find that disclosing demographic information of confirmed cases does not affect public mobility, whereas disclosing their infection traceability information increases public mobility and trajectory range information decreases public mobility. We also find a U-shaped effect of information diversity on public mobility behavior.

Feb 15th 2024, 00:24

Abstract
Youth who grow up in disadvantaged neighborhoods experience poorer health later in life, but little is known about the biological mechanisms underlying these effects and socioenvironmental factors that may protect youth from the biological embedding of neighborhood adversity. This study tests whether supportive and consistent parenting buffers associations between neighborhood disadvantage in early adolescence and epigenetic aging in adulthood. A community sample from Birmingham, Alabama, USA (N = 343; 57% female; 81% Black, 19% White) was assessed in early adolescence (T1; ages 11 and 13) and adulthood (T2; age 27). At T1, neighborhood poverty was derived from census data and neighborhood disorder was reported by caregivers. Both youth and parents reported on parental discipline and nurturance. At T2, methylation of salivary DNA was used to derive a mortality risk index and Hannum, Horvath, PhenoAge, and GrimAge epigenetic age estimators. Regression analyses revealed that neighborhood disadvantage was associated with accelerated epigenetic aging and/or mortality risk only when combined with high levels of harsh and inconsistent discipline and low child-reported parental nurturance. These findings identify epigenetic aging and mortality risk as relevant mechanisms through which neighborhood adversity experienced in adolescence may affect later health; they also point to the importance of supportive and consistent parenting for reducing the biological embedding of neighborhood adversity in early adolescence.
