Impact associated with bilateral varicocelectomy throughout unable to have children men

MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases will be searched from 1980 to the present for English-language studies only. Prevalence and incidence data, experimental, quasi-experimental, observational, and descriptive studies will be included and critically appraised by two independent reviewers. Data will be extracted using the standardized data extraction tool for prevalence data. If sufficient data is available, a meta-analysis will be conducted; otherwise, the findings will be presented in narrative form including tables and figures to aid in data presentation where appropriate.

The objective of this review is to produce a set of integrated findings of quantitative and qualitative evidence regarding workplace recruitment and retention factors (including departure) of female first responders to inform recommendations for policy and practice.
Historically, first responder workforces such as police officers, firefighters, search and rescue personnel, medical technicians, and paramedics have been largely male dominated. Over the past few decades, however, there has been a steady increase in the number of women entering this field. However, there is minimal research examining factors that influence the recruitment/retention of female first responders. The intention of this review is to identify barriers and facilitators to recruitment and retention of female first responders and to identify any differences between sexes/genders.
This review will summarize qualitative and quantitative research examining factors influencing the recruitment/retention of female first responders. Such factors may include job satisfaction, quality of work life, burnout, compassion fatigue, and intent to remain in the workforce.
MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), PsycINFO (APA), PTSDpubs (formerly PILOTS; ProQuest), Embase (Elsevier), and Scopus (Elsevier) will be searched for studies published in English from 2009 to the present. Unpublished studies will be searched in Google Scholar, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global. Both quantitative and qualitative studies will be screened for inclusion and critically appraised for methodological quality by two independent reviewers. Both types of data will be extracted using JBI tools for mixed methods systematic reviews. A convergent integrated approach to synthesis and integration will be used.

The objective of this scoping review is to map the literature describing couple- and family-oriented interventions and outcomes to prevent mental health problems and promote mental health.
Literature involving couple- and family-focused mental health interventions has gained increased attention over the past two decades, yet little is known about the efficacy of these interventions for promoting mental health and preventing mental disorders. Despite recognition that the most sustainable method for reducing the increasing burden of mental disorders is primary prevention, there has been no systematic investigation of relevant couple- and family-focused interventions.
This scoping review will consider studies that include couples or multiple family members who have participated in couple- and family-focused interventions aimed at primary prevention of mental disorders and promotion of mental health. This study will include experimental, quasi-experimental, and observational study designs, as well as qualitll screen the abstract/title of retrieved citations using inclusion and exclusion criteria. After screening titles and abstracts of identified citations, relevant studies will be retrieved in full. Using a data extraction instrument developed specifically for this review, eligible studies will be extracted and presented in diagrammatic or tabular form, accompanied by a narrative summary.
The objective of this review update is to determine the best strategies for assisted bathing or showering of older people with dementia.
Bathing is a high-risk activity that can worsen agitated behavior in people with dementia, becoming a source of stress or burden for nurses and caregivers. Cyclophosphamide Since a review was originally published in 2013, new studies have been conducted reporting on various interventions related to assisted bathing and showering.
The review will consider people older than 60 years with dementia, their families, nurses, and formal caregivers. The quantitative component will consider studies that examine interventions aiming to reduce agitated behaviors during assisted bathing. The qualitative component will include studies reporting on experiences of assisted bathing of older people with dementia.
This review update will follow the JBI mixed methods review approach. Published and unpublished studies will be identified from searches of the major international databases and relevant databases for gray literature. Two independent reviewers will carry out screening, critical appraisal, and data extraction. The extracted data will include details about the study characteristics, quantitative results, and qualitative findings relevant to the review. Where possible, quantitative data will be statistically pooled. Qualitative results will be synthesized using the meta-aggregation approach developed by JBI. Finally, the findings from both quantitative and qualitative components will be organized into a line of argument to produce an overall configured analysis. Where configuration is not possible, the findings will be presented in narrative form.

The objective of this review was to synthesize the best available research evidence regarding the effectiveness of tree nuts on glycemic outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
There has been an increase in the use of complementary therapy, particularly botanical products, for management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has been reported that increasing mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids in diet effectively lowers the risk of development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hence, it was hypothesized that consumption of nuts, which are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids and mono-unsaturated fatty acids, may aid in preventing diabetes and reducing levels of blood glucose by reducing glycemic load by displacing dietary carbohydrates present in diet.
This systematic review included randomized controlled trials that compared the consumption of any type and form of tree nut with a placebo or any other intervention in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Trials were included if they measured fasting blood glucose, post prandial blood glucose, and/or glycated hemoglobin.
