Aim: To identify and appraise the quality of evidence of transitional care interventions on quality of life in lung cancer patients.
Background: Quality of life is a strong predictor of survival. The transition from hospital to home is a high-risk period for patients' readmission and death, which seriously affect their quality of life.
Aims: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of home-based telehealth compared with usual care on six-minute walking distance (6MWD), health-related quality of life, anxiety and depression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Methods: We identified randomized controlled trials through a systematic multidatabase search. Titles and abstracts were assessed for relevance.
Background: Cancer and surgery put a physiologic and psychological burden on patients with lung cancer. The active cycle of breathing technique (ACBT) has been considered as an effective airway clearance method for patients with lung diseases. Its effectiveness on perioperative outcomes in patients with lung cancer warrants study.

Objectives: This pilot study explored whether a short-term pre- and postsurgery multimodal exercise program affected dyspnea, exercise capacity, inspiratory capacity, anxiety, and depression.
Methods: A total of 101 patients were randomly allocated into the combined intervention group (n = 34), the breathing exercise group (n = 32), or the control group (n = 35).
Objective: This review aimed to investigate the effectiveness of active video games as an adjunct to pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Design: All entries to the following databases were searched up until April 3, 2019: PubMed, Embase Ovid, the Cochrane Central Register of Randomized Controlled Trials, Web of Science, Wanfang, Weipu, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases.
Results: A total of seven articles (three randomized controlled trials and four quasi-experimental studies) with 249 patients were included.
Problem Identification: To investigate the effectiveness of home-based exercise training on exercise capacity, dyspnea, anxiety, depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
Literature Search: A systematic literature search of the Cochrane Central Register of Randomized Controlled Trials, Embase®, PubMed®, and Web of Science databases was performed for articles published through July 22, 2018.
Data Evaluation: The meta-analysis was conducted with Review Manager, version 5.
Background & Objective: Vertebral metastasis is a common manifestation of patients with advanced cancer without effective treatment. This study was to explore treatment value and efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) combined with interventional chemotherapy on vertebral metastases.
Methods: Seventy-five patients with vertebral metastases (42 men, 33 women; aged 31-76 years) were divided into 2 groups: 39 were treated by PVP combined with chemotherapy (VPCC group), and 36 were treated by PVP alone (VP group).
