Article Synopsis
- Ultrasonography is frequently used in the examination of vascular diseases and for assisting in vascular access procedures.
- A review of Cochrane systematic reviews evaluated the effectiveness of ultrasound guidance on vascular access, summarizing key findings related to its impact on success rates and complications.
- The results indicated that ultrasound guidance likely improves success rates and reduces complications in vascular access, especially in adults and children, but highlighted a need for more research on its use for arterial access in adults.

Article Synopsis
- This study reviews Cochrane systematic reviews on ten integrative health practices recently added to Brazil's public healthcare system, focusing on their effects and evidence.
- The review identified a total of 16 systematic reviews, mostly examining apitherapy, aromatherapy, and hypnotherapy, with no evidence found for several other practices.
- The findings suggest that only apitherapy has some high-quality evidence supporting its use for specific conditions, while the other nine practices lack sufficient evidence to justify their inclusion in the public healthcare system.
