Implicit Mood

The current research sought to replicate and extend work suggesting that coloring can reduce anxiety, asking whether coloring can improve cognitive performance. In two experiments undergraduates (N = 47; N = 52) colored and participated in a control condition. Subjective and performance measures of mood and mindfulness were included: an implicit mood test (Experiment 1) and a selective attention task (Experiment 2) along with a divergent thinking test. In both experiments coloring significantly reduced anxiety and increased mindfulness compared with control and baseline scores. Following coloring participants scored significantly lower on implicit fear, than the control condition, and significantly higher on selective attention and original ideation. Coloring may not only reduce anxiety, but also improve mindful attention and creative cognition.

The Impact

Abstract Background Eating disorders (ED) can reduce quality of life by limiting participation and performance in social and occupational roles, including paid or unpaid work. The association between ED pathologies and work participation and performance must be well understood to strengthen vocational rehabilitation programmes and prevent occupational disruptions in the ED population. The aims of this study are: (1) to examine the degree of association between ED pathologies and work participation and performance in 15-year-olds and older; (2) to highlight the specific ED symptoms that are most correlated with changes in work performance and participation; (3) to compile the most common metrics and assessments used to measure work participation and performance with ED. Methods Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library will be searched for observational and experimental studies that meet the following criteria: (1) a clinical sample of typical or atypical ED; (2) paid or unpaid employment or training; (3) an association between ED pathologies and work participation or performance. Unpublished data will also be examined. Title and abstract, and full-text screening will be conducted in duplicate. Risk of bias and quality of evidence assessments will be completed. A random-effect meta-analysis will be performed. Discussion This synthesis can clarify knowledge and gaps around the impact of ED on work functioning, thereby allowing better evaluation, improvements and development of current workplace assessments, interventions, and policies. Trial registration The registration number for this systematic review on PROSPERO is CRD42021255055.

Background and aims: A high rate of neoplasia (high grade dysplasia; HGD and esophageal adenocarcinoma; EAC) has been reported in Barrett’s Esophagus at index endoscopy but precise rates of post endoscopy Barrett’s neoplasia (PEBN) are unknown. Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis was performed examining electronic databases (inception to October 2021) for studies reporting PEBN. Consistent with definitions of Post Colonoscopy Colorectal Cancer as proposed by the World Endoscopy Organization, we defined neoplasia(HGD/EAC) detected at index endoscopy and/or within 6 months of a negative index endoscopy as “prevalent” neoplasia; those detected after 6 months of a negative index endoscopy and prior to next surveillance interval(i.e. 3 years) as PEBN or “interval” neoplasia, and those detected after 36 months of a negative index endoscopy as “incident” neoplasia. Pooled incidence rates and proportion relative to total neoplasia were analyzed. Results: 11 studies (n=59,795, age:62.3±3.3 years, 61%males) met inclusion criteria. The pooled incidence rates were: prevalent neoplasia 4.5% (95%confidence interval: 2.2-8.9) at baseline and additional 0.3%(0.1-0.7) within first 6 months, PEBN 0.52%(0.48-0.58) and incident neoplasia: 1.41%(0.93-2.14). At 3 years from index endoscopy, PEBN accounted for 3% while prevalent neoplasia accounted for 97% of total Barrett’s neoplasia. Conclusion: Neoplasia detected at or within 6 months of index endoscopy account for most of the Barrett’s neoplasia(>90%). Post-Endoscopy Barrett’s Neoplasia account for ~3% of cases and can be used for validation in future. This highlights the importance of a high-quality index endoscopy in Barrett’s Esophagus and the need to establish quality benchmarks to measure endoscopists’ performance.

ABSTRACTThe authors conducted a systematic review of studies examining correlations between assessments of function obtained using self-report and those obtained using performance-based measures for community-dwelling older adults.METHODSArticles for this review were identified using electronic searching in MEDLINE, CINHAL, and AGELINE and hand-searching techniques. Two reviewers selected the studies that met the inclusion criteria, extracted the data, and assessed the methodological quality of the data.RESULTSSeventeen studies met the inclusion criteria for review. Correlations between self-report and performance ranged from −0.72 to 0.60. Sixty per cent of the studies compared self-report instruments measuring disability with performance measures addressing functional limitations. In studies that assessed the same functional tasks and functional limitations using the two methods, the correlation varied between 0.60 and 0.86.CONCLUSIONWhen the construct measured by the two methods was the same, the correlations were moderate to large and, therefore, measurement of functional limitations by self-report or performance probably reflected a similar assessment of function.
