Summary: Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) can significantly improve the correctness of diagnosis in patients with acute dyspnea, without affecting in-hospital mortality or length of hospital stay. POCUS consistently enhances sensitivities for detecting congestive heart failure, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, pleural effusion, or pneumothorax, with varying impacts on specificities in different studies.

Summary: This study aimed to describe and synthesize non-pharmacological and nonsurgical interventions for male urinary incontinence. The findings suggest that methods such as pelvic floor muscle training, electrical stimulation, and acupuncture can effectively reduce urinary incontinence. However, more rigorous studies are needed to validate the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine techniques and diverse novel methods.
