Sex Differences in Cardiovascular Adaptations Following Aerobic Exercise Training Programs: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: The influence of aerobic exercise training on cardiovascular adaptations in healthy males versus females is unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis summarized sex-based differences in cardiac adaptations following aerobic exercise training interventions in healthy adults.

Methods: Five electronic databases were searched from inception to June 2024.

Assistive Technology to Support Dementia Management: Protocol for a Scoping Review of Reviews.

Background: In Canada, more than 60% of persons living with dementia reside in their own homes, and over 25% rely heavily on their care partners (ie, family members or friends) for assistance with daily activities such as personal hygiene, eating, and walking. Assistive technology (AT) is a key dementia management strategy, helping to maintain health and social support in home and community settings. AT comprises assistive products and services required for safe and effective use.

Patient education in ethnic minority and migrant patients with heart disease: A scoping review.

Objective: to describe the characteristics and synthesise the effectiveness of culturally and linguistically appropriate educational interventions for ethnic minority/migrant patients with heart disease.

Methods: Five databases were searched (journal inception to August/2023), identifying studies reported on health outcomes and patients' experience of educational interventions specifically designed for individuals from ethnic minority/migrant backgrounds. These outcomes included disease-related knowledge, self-care behaviours, risk factor profiles, hospital admissions, and patient satisfaction.

Remote Exercise Engagement Among Individuals With Cardiovascular Disease: A Systematic Review of Barriers and Facilitators.

Purpose: To systematically review the literature regarding barriers and facilitators to remote exercise among individuals with cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Review Methods: Six databases were searched (inception-December 2023). Studies including barriers and facilitators for remote exercise reported by individuals living with CVD were considered.

Clinical dimensions of people with co-occurring obsessive-compulsive and related disorders and multiple sclerosis: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated demyelinating disease with a significant burden of neuropsychiatric sequelae. These symptoms, including depression and anxiety, are predictors of morbidity and mortality in people with MS. Despite a high prevalence of obsessive-compulsive disorder in MS, potentially shared pathophysiological mechanisms and overlap in possible treatments, no review has specifically examined the clinical dimensions of people with obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRD) and MS.

American Burn Association Clinical Practice Guidelines on Burn Shock Resuscitation.

This Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) addresses the topic of acute fluid resuscitation during the first 48 hours following a burn injury for adults with burns ≥20% of the total body surface area (%TBSA). The listed authors formed an investigation panel and developed clinically relevant PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) questions. A systematic literature search returned 5978 titles related to this topic and after 3 levels of screening, 24 studies met criteria to address the PICO questions and were critically reviewed.
