Both studies revealed the need for more support for small publishers/individual journals, and for tracking/reporting progress when implementing SDG and EDI policies in their journals. <p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d739724e169">We will introduce our SDG Checklist, a resource of ideas for actions to take, and a baselining/reporting tool, and will hear from two Editors on using the tool to support their progress. <p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d739724e171">We will discuss the EDI Survey on Editors’ perceptions and opinions about EDI policies and practices in their journals and organisations. The results uncovered specific needs that are guiding the EDI Committee’s actions to promote the implementation of EDI policies in journals.

BackgroundThe present study is an online survey to determine the quality of life and functional impairment caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the healthcare experiences of IBS patients in Norway, which has not been done previously.MethodsAn author-developed, online questionnaire using Microsoft Forms program was applied. The questionnaire comprised 52 questions. The questionnaire was posted from 1 March to 17 April (a 48-day period) on the Norwegian Gastrointestinal Association website and in its magazine and social media posts.ResultsThe questionnaire was completed by 2727 patients. Of these patients 327 were excluded because they have not been diagnosed by a medical doctor. IBS reduced the quality of life in 97% of affected patients, including the social life in 90% and the sexual life in 69%. The unemployment rate of IBS patients in Norway 38%, which is 10-fold higher than that of the general population, and 94% of IBS patients reported that IBS impaired their work/study performance. About half of the patients had to discuss their abdominal symptoms with their general practitioner (GP) more than 10 times and wait more than 1 years before being diagnosed. Only 34% and 48% were satisfied with the help they received from their GP and gastroenterologist, respectively. Only 18% and 43% of the IBS patients felt that their GP and gastroenterologist, respectively, were sufficiently knowledgeable about IBS. Only 21% of the IBS patients was satisfied with the treatment they received.ConclusionsIBS markedly reduces the affected patient’s quality of life and their working productivity. IBS patients are generally dissatisfied with the clinical management they receive from GPs and gastroenterologists.

ABSTRACT The primary objective of this systematic review was to describe the number and type of heading descriptors used in all published studies which report on heading incidence in football. The secondary objective was to detail the data collection and reporting methods used in the included studies to present heading incidence data. Eligible studies were identified through searches of five electronic databases: Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science, using a combination of free-text keywords (inception to 12th September 2023). Manual searching of reference lists and retrieved systematic reviews was also performed. A descriptive overview and synthesis of the results is presented. From 1620 potentially eligible studies, 71 studies were included, with the following key findings: 1) only 61% of studies defined a header with even fewer (23%) providing an operational definition of a header within the methods; 2) important study and player demographic data including year and country were often not reported; 3) reported heading descriptors and their coding options varied greatly; 4) visual identification of headers was essential when inertial measurement units were used to collect heading incidence data; and 5) there was a lack of standardisation in the reporting methods used in heading incidence studies making comparison between studies challenging. To address these findings, the development of a standardised, internationally supported, operational definition of a header and related heading descriptors should be prioritised. Further recommendations include the development of minimum reporting criteria for heading incidence research.
