The impact of Chinese COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of peripheral facial nerve paralysis after optimizing policies.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the occurrence of Peripheral Facial Nerve Paralysis (PFNP) in Chinese patients, identify contributing factors, and explore the relationship between COVID-19 and PFNP.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study covering the years 2020 to 2023, categorizing patients into three groups based on their visit dates: Group 1 (December 8, 2020 to February 28, 2021), Group 2 (December 8, 2021 to February 28, 2022), and Group 3 (December 8, 2022 to February 28, 2023). We collected and compared data on disease onset and patient characteristics among these groups.

Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio as a novel-potential biomarker for predicting prognosis of Bell's palsy.

Objectives: In several disorders, the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) has been considered a biomarker of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. However, its role in Bell's palsy (BP) remains unclear. This study investigates the relationship between elevated MHR and poor recovery in BP patients.

Effect of temperature and air pressure on the incidence of Bell's palsy in Hangzhou: a distributed lag non-linear analysis.

The etiology of Bell's palsy (BP) is currently unknown, and the findings from previous studies examining the association between seasonal or meteorological factors and BP have been inconsistent. This research aims to clarify this relationship by analyzing a larger dataset and employing appropriate statistical methods. Data from 5387 patients with BP treated at Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, from May 1, 2018, to June 30, 2023, was gathered.

Effects of breathing exercises on low back pain in clinical: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aims to systematically evaluate the effect of breathing exercises on the low back pain (LBP).

Methods: The studies of relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing the effect of breathing exercises on LBP were selected after strict screening from the establishment of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, and CNKI databases until September 2022. The studies included were then independently assessed for risk bias by two investigators.

The effects of Tai Chi on glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with diabetes mellitus: A meta-analysis.

Objective: The research aims to evaluate effects of the Tai Chi exercise therapy on glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature were undertaken.

Methods: Seven electronic resource databases were scanned to collect eligible studies.

Correlation between vital capacity and vertebra body translation during lumbar flexion and extension in adults aged between 60 and 69 years.

Background: Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal diseases in the modern society, causing a huge economic burden, and has become an important public health problem. Years lived with disability caused by low back pain increased rapidly as a result of population growth and ageing worldwide, with the biggest increase seen in low-income and middle-income countries. In this context, the prevention and treatment of low back pain in the elderly warrant attention and research.
