Summary: Regular physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational cohort studies. However, the quality of the evidence is low.

Summary: This study systematically evaluated risk factors for S. maltophilia pneumonia in ICU patients and found that APACHE-II score > 20, COPD, malignant tumor, mechanical ventilation, tracheotomy, endotracheal intubation, beta-Lactamase inhibitors, aminoglycosides, carbapenems, and quinolones were risk factors for ICU-acquired S. maltophilia pneumonia.

Summary: This meta-analysis and systematic review identified several risk factors associated with dysphagia in patients with ischemic stroke, including older age, hypertension, diabetes, and brainstem stroke. These findings highlight the importance of assessing and intervening early in these risk factors in clinical treatment and nursing care to improve the prognosis of stroke patients.

Summary: This study aims to identify predictive factors for non-ventilated hospital-acquired pneumonia (NVHAP). Through a meta-analysis of 38 articles, 24 predictive factors associated with the development of this infectious complication were identified. Understanding these factors can help identify patients most likely to develop NVHAP.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that higher levels of physical activity were associated with a lower risk of frailty in middle and older age adults. This relationship was independent of the assessment tools, indicators, and methods used to measure frailty. The findings suggest that implementing active exercise strategies may help prevent frailty.

Summary: The benefits of physical therapy on motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients are supported by consistent evidence, with neurotrophic factors (NFs) playing a key role in neuroplasticity. However, the lack of standardized exercise training and methodological flaws in clinical trials have limited the evidence for exercise-induced changes in NFs concentration.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that physical activity has a preventive effect on infertility by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, reducing gonadotropin levels, elevating immune function, and inhibiting inflammation and circulating sex hormones. High levels of physical activity were associated with a reduced risk of infertility compared to low levels, and moderate physical activity also showed a significant reduction in the risk of infertility compared to low activity. However, high levels of physical activity appeared to slightly increase the risk of infertility compared to moderate activity.

Summary: There may be a potential association between psychosocial factors and esophageal cancer risk, with psychological trauma and depression increasing the risk, while good interpersonal relationships and outgoing personalities may lower the risk of esophageal cancer.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of longitudinal AVG interventions on PA behaviors through a systematic review and meta-analysis. The findings indicated a moderately positive effect of AVG interventions on increasing overall PA, but significant variabilities in AVG quality, study design, and impact were also detected. Suggestions for improving AVG interventions and related research will be discussed.

Summary: Physical inactivity is common in severe asthma and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis found that interventions such as aerobic and resistance training and pedometer-based interventions can effectively increase physical activity in adults with severe asthma, leading to improved asthma control and health-related quality of life.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of greenway interventions in promoting physical activity (PA). The results showed that greenways are effective in promoting PA, with significant differences observed based on greenway characteristics, exposure distance, exposure duration, and male-to-female ratio.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that higher levels of physical activity are associated with a reduced risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Vigorous physical activity showed an even stronger association with lower HCC risk. These findings support the use of regular physical activity as an effective preventive measure against HCC.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the association between serum copper levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) death in Finnish men. It found that elevated serum copper levels were associated with an increased risk of CVD death, and this association was consistent across different body mass index categories.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the current provision of rehabilitation for revision total knee replacement (TKR) in England and evaluate the existing evidence. The study involved an online national survey of education and rehabilitation provision for patients receiving revision TKR in 22 hospitals across England, as well as a systematic review of studies evaluating rehabilitation programs for revision joint replacement. The study identified the need for future research on tailored rehabilitation to optimize patient outcomes following revision TKR.

Summary: This study compared the use of constrained acetabular components and dual mobility implants in revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) and found that dual mobility implants had lower rates of dislocation, re-revision for dislocation, and re-revision for any cause compared to constrained acetabular components. Surgeons should consider these findings when choosing implants for the treatment of instability.

Summary: This study assessed and compared the benefits and harms of intensive versus standard blood pressure control in older people with or without diabetes. Analysis of six randomized controlled trials involving 20,985 patients showed that intensive blood pressure control reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in the general population, but its effectiveness in patients with diabetes is uncertain.

Summary: This study found that improving healthy behaviors and LE8 scores can lower the risk of future heart disease mortality. Men with a total LE8 score of more than 550 had a lower risk of heart disease and overall mortality compared to those with a score of <=420. Increasing the LE8 score by 50 can lower the risk of heart disease and overall mortality.
