Objectives: This systematic review examines types of mobile devices implemented in health professions education, kinds of resources and tools accessed by health professions students via mobile devices, and reasons for using mobile devices to access the resources and tools. Methods:The review included studies published in English between January 2010 and April 2015 with empirical data retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL and eight other databases..Data extracted included participants characteristics, study design, mobile devices used, mobile resources/apps accessed, outcome measures, outcomes, and advantages of and barriers to using mobile devices to access resources. Results:The authors identified 20 articles that satisfied the inclusion criteria. There was significant variability across the studies in terms of research methods, types of mobile programs implemented, resources accessed, and outcomes. The majority of the studies show higher acceptability and usability of mobile devices for activities pertaining to resources utilization, learning, and patient care. Conclusions:Beneficial effects of using mobile devices to access a wide range of knowledgebased resources and mobile apps were evidenced through the synthesis. The findings of the studies also reveal conspicuous challenges or barriers faced by students in using mobile devices. Implications:The findings suggest immediate implications for health sciences libraries and imply new opportunities for librarians to launch innovative initiatives to develop mobile programs to facilitate access to mobile resources and accelerate integration of mobile technologies into teaching, learning, and clinical practice. Funding:Research was performed with no external funding.2

Aim: We conducted a systematic review evaluating race/ethnicity representation in DNA methylomic studies of preterm birth. Data sources: PubMed, EMBASE, CINHAL, Scopus and relevant citations from 1 January 2000 to 30 June 2019. Study appraisal & synthesis methods: Two authors independently identified abstracts comparing DNA methylomic differences between term and preterm births that included race/ethnicity data. Results: 16 studies were included. Black and non-Hispanic Black deliveries were well represented (28%). However, large studies originating from more than 95% White populations were excluded due to unreported race/ethnicity data. Most studies were cross-sectional, allowing for reverse causation. Most studies were also racially/ethnically homogeneous, preventing direct comparison of DNA methylomic differences across race/ethnicities. Conclusion: In DNA methylomic studies, Black women and infants were well represented. However, the literature has limitations and precludes drawing definitive conclusions.
