Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate whether stochastic whole-body vibration (WBV) can improve dexterity and manipulative capacity in healthy individuals using a conventional squat position over a short period (1 week). Introduction: Many pathologies specifically affect fine motor dexterity. Numerous therapies are aimed at improving upper extremity functionality. In this context, WBV… →

CONCLUSION: The themes have allowed a better understanding of the RCT primary and secondary outcomes and informed the next phase of implementation. CONNACT and similar interventions should identify and address reasons for refusing participation [Reach]; improve group classes with initial evaluations, equal attention paid to patients, tailored exercises, and acknowledge progress [Effectiveness, Implementation]; and adopt… →

CONCLUSION: Education had a crucial role in positively impacting patient behavior. Therefore, patients must be actively involved in their healthcare education awareness, focusing more on modifying their behavior. →

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the potential for HPI Smart Alerts to improve compliance with an intraoperative GDHT algorithm in adults undergoing moderate to high-risk non-cardiac surgery. A low burden of intra-operative hypotension was observed, suggesting potential decreases in other associated adverse outcomes. Larger-scale randomized studies are warranted. →

CONCLUSION: In patients with proliferative diabetes retinopathy complicated with retinal detachment, the combination of vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade and dexamethasone implantation can reduce the incidence of preretinal proliferative membrane and macular epiretinal membrane and improve the visual outcome during 1 year follow-up. →

CONCLUSION: Virtual reality -based exercises effectively reduced pain, improved daily activities and quality of life, and decreased fall risk in lumbar disc herniation patients, suggesting their potential as a complementary rehabilitation approach. Blinding was not applied due to the nature of the interventions, which may introduce a potential risk of bias. →

CONCLUSION: Percutaneous release of A1 pulley illustrated greater improvement in functional mobility with a moderate effect size and pain with a large effect size compared to steroid injection in trigger fingers. A multicenter trial with a larger sample size and involving a diverse participant cohort may enhance the strength of the evidence. →

CONCLUSIONS: All three EBUS-guided puncture techniques exhibited high diagnostic accuracy and low bleeding risk, with no statistically significant differences observed. These findings suggest that technique selection may depend on operator preference or the clinical context rather than superiority in diagnostic performance. →

The current understanding of the beneficial effects of probiotics in type 2 diabetes (T2D) relies on both animal and clinical data, which focus mainly on their impact on insulin resistance. The use of high-dose omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) therapy has been well tolerated in pilot trials and could have a positive effect on the… →
