Summary: This systematic review identifies the development and delivery methods of personal financial wellness curricula for medical trainees, as well as outcome measures to evaluate their effectiveness. The results suggest that these curricula have a positive impact on financial literacy and behavior change. Institutions should consider investing in financial education, and future studies should include more concrete outcome measures and measures of wellness.

Summary: Psychedelic research is gaining significant interest, but faces challenges such as expectancy effects and effective condition masking, which may limit interpretability of results. Recommendations for improving research rigor include enhancing masking procedures and reducing participant expectancies.

Summary: The findings suggest that resilience curricula may benefit medical trainees, but there is significant variability in the effectiveness of different programs. Overall, resilience training is an emerging area in medical education that requires further investigation to develop optimal methods for fostering resilience in medical education.

Summary: This study evaluated the quality of meta-analyses on the health effects of resveratrol through a methodological systematic review. The findings showed that most of the included meta-analyses had low methodological quality and inadequate reporting. Journal's impact factor, number of authors, and funding support were positively associated with the overall methodological quality.

Summary: This paper presents a systematic review on the development of cognitive reappraisal from early childhood to adolescence. It shows that cognitive reappraisal undergoes significant developmental changes in its use and effectiveness. The findings indicate that children's ability to regulate emotions through cognitive reappraisal improves with age. However, there are methodological differences in current studies, highlighting the need for consistency in future research.

Summary: This systematic review examines the validity and reliability of existing worker wellbeing measures developed between 2010 to 2020. The review found that few worker wellbeing measures met the criteria for validity and reliability. The study recommends researchers and clinicians to carefully consider the selection of worker wellbeing measures.

Summary: The assessment of diabetic eye disease guidelines revealed significant variations in methodological quality, with nine guidelines demonstrating good quality. Future guidelines could be improved by engaging stakeholders, following a rigorous development process, ensuring clinical applicability and editorial transparency.

Summary: This study assessed the methodological quality of systematic reviews (SRs) and the consideration of heterogeneity, finding that the majority of SRs had low quality, mainly due to issues such as non-registration and lack of reporting excluded full-texts. Heterogeneity in trial results was not explored in some SRs, while others considered clinical or methodological heterogeneity, highlighting the importance of improving the quality of future SRs through awareness of quality criteria.

Summary: This study evaluated the transparency and methodological quality of clinical practice guidelines (CPG) in the preoperative assessment and management of adult patients undergoing elective surgery. The results showed that most published guidelines on preoperative fasting, cardiac assessment for non-cardiac surgery, and use of routine preoperative tests had moderate to high methodological quality and can be recommended for use or adaptation. However, there is still room for improvement in the domains of applicability and stakeholder involvement in future guideline development.

Summary: Current budget impact analyses for orphan drugs show substandard methodological quality, significant variations, and insufficient consideration of key parameters. Future studies should adhere to ISPOR guidelines, improve handling of input data, and validate results to reduce bias in analyses.

Summary: This study assessed the methodological quality of clinical practice guidelines for nutrition care in critically ill adults and the recommendations for determining energy expenditure. The findings showed that the guidelines were developed using systematic methods but lacked stakeholder engagement and specific guidance. The quality of the energy expenditure determination recommendations was low.

Summary: Pharmaceutical industry involvement in consensus-based recommendations undermines their objectivity, and such industry sponsorship is common in projects that do not receive endorsement by major professional societies.

Summary: The study found that engagement strategies for children and adolescents with chronic disease are mainly focused on direct patient care, especially for asthma. More research is needed to address engagement for broader populations, expanded outcomes, and at health system and community levels in the future.

Summary: This review examined the prevalence, incidence, and severity of infections among the emergency medical service (EMS) workforce. The majority of studies focused on SARS-CoV-2 infection, with varying prevalence rates. MRSA and Hepatitis C infections were also reported. Limited studies reported incidence rates. Differences in infection rates were observed between EMS clinicians and firefighters, with higher hospitalization or death rates for SAR-CoV-2 and higher prevalence of Hepatitis C among EMS clinicians. More research is needed to understand the incidence and severity of occupationally-acquired infections in the EMS workforce.

Summary: This study examined the association between medical school Scholarly Concentrations (SC) programs and students' specialty choices. The results showed that students' interest in a specialty at baseline and their research productivity with SC mentors were associated with increased odds of entering a related specialty. However, completing an SC project did not increase the odds of matching into that specialty or a higher ranked program.
