Specifically, the study examined unilateral isometric knee flexor strength (KFS), unilateral isometric knee extensor strength (KES), bilateral countermovement jump peak power and peak landing force (CMJ), and leg land and hold test (LHT) peak landing force. This randomized controlled study included two experimental groups (SSGbk and SSGbpg) and one control group.

Article Synopsis
- Vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) is an effective noninvasive therapy for diabetic foot ulcers that helps reduce swelling and promotes healing.
- A meta-analysis of 10 studies showed that VSD significantly decreases wound size and shortens healing time compared to conventional treatments, with statistically significant results.
- Complications from VSD are comparable to traditional methods, indicating it is a safer and more effective option for managing diabetic foot ulcers.
Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) compared to high ligation (HL) for treating limb varicosity.
- The analysis reviewed 11 randomized controlled trials with a total of 1145 patients and showed significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, operative time, complication rates, and recurrence rates between the two methods.
- The findings suggest that while both treatments have their advantages and disadvantages, EVLT is superior in terms of effectiveness and safety for limb varicosity.
