“…If future studies are designed using a standardised method with consideration of previous research, levels of bias could be minimised, and findings repeated and validated across different studies and populations. Key aspects going forward will be the online publication of methodology and data, and the use of standardised keywords to enable effective electronic searches [76]. Retrospective tagging of keywords to dated publications would aid in collating research and ensuring it is indexed into the correct category.…”

Risk factors for acute abdominal pain (colic) in the adult horse: A scoping review of risk factors, and a systematic review of the effect of management-related changes

et al. 2019

Acute abdominal pain (colic) is the most common reason for emergency veterinary treatment in the horse. Consolidation of data through a systematic review is important to inform evidence-based medicine and clinical guidelines, but there are currently no published systematic reviews on colic in the horse. The aim of this study was to identify, categorize and appraise the evidence on factors associated with increased risk of developing abdominal pain (colic) due to gastrointestinal disease in the adult horse. A scoping review was performed to identify and categorize evidence on all risk factors for colic. A systematic review of management-related risk factors was then performed following PRISMA guidelines. Both searches were conducted in Medline, CAB Abstracts and Web of Science databases, and publications were assessed against inclusion and exclusion criteria. For the scoping review, study and participant characteristics of included publications and key results were extracted and tabulated. For the systematic review, cohort, case-control or cross-sectional studies investigating acute abdominal pain in horses within two weeks of management changes were assessed. Study characteristics, participant characteristics and study results of included publications for the systematic review were extracted and tabulated. Included publications were appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools for cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies. The scoping review search identified 3,756 publications. Fifty eight studies met final inclusion criteria, and 22 categories of risk factors were identified. These were grouped into three broad areas: horse-related factors, management-related factors and environment-related factors. The largest body of evidence related to management change. The systematic review of management change identified 410 publications: 14 met inclusion criteria for analysis. These consisted of one cohort, eight case-control and five cross-sectional studies. The studies were conducted between 1990–2008, and the majority of studies were located in the USA (8/14) or UK (3/14). The risk factors related to management change that were assessed were feed, carer, exercise, pasture, water and housing. The largest bodies of evidence for increased risk of colic associated with management change were changes in feed (5/14 publications) and recent change in housing (3/14). Most studies (8/14) did not meet the JBI criterion on confounding factors. There was marked heterogeneity of study methodologies and measures. This is the first study to use a combined scoping and systematic review to analyse evidence for modifiable risk factors for a common condition in the horse. It provides a comprehensive review that will be a key resource for researchers, veterinary practitioners and horse owners. It identified modifiable risk factors associated with an increased risk of colic which should be a key target for preventative health programmes. The findings from the critical appraisal were used to develop rec...

Abstract-In the medical field, scientific articles represent a very important source of knowledge for researchers of this domain. But due to the large volume of scientific articles published on the web, an efficient detection and use of this knowledge is quite a difficult task. In this paper, we propose a novel method for semantic indexing of medical articles by using the semantic resource MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) and the temporal information provided in the documents. The proposed indexing approach was evaluated by intensive experiments. These experiments were conducted on document test collections of real world clinical extracted from scientific collections, namely, CISMEF and CLEF. The results generated by these experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our indexing approach.

“…Les méthodes sémantiques sont également utilisées. On peut citer Majdoubi et al [16] qui intègrent également le modèle vectoriel pour calculer la similarité entre les phrases de textes et les termes de concepts MeSH, ensuite calculent un poids pour garder les termes pertinents. Dinh et al [17] combinent plusieurs outils d'indexation, comme [2] et [11].…”
