Effects of Different Caloric Restriction Patterns on Blood Pressure and Other Cardiovascular Risk Factors: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials.

Context: All types of caloric restriction are preventive against cardiovascular risk factors, but the best restriction method and most affected factors have not been identified.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the effects of different caloric restriction methods on various cardiovascular risk factors by horizontally comparing program advantages and disadvantages via network meta-analysis.

Data Sources: The PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase literature databases were searched (October 2013 to October 2023).

Efficacy of different rehabilitation therapies on post-stroke aphasia patients: A network meta-analysis.

Background: Although several rehabilitation interventions are effective in post-stroke aphasia (PSA), the efficacy of different rehabilitation interventions compared to each other remains controversial. Here, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of varying rehabilitation interventions in PSA.

Methods: Randomized controlled trials on 8 kinds of rehabilitation interventions to improve speech function in patients with PSA were searched by computer from 10 databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, OVID, CINAHL, Embase, CNKI, WanFang, CBM, and VIP.

Efficacy of neuromobilization in the treatment of low back pain: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability. Neuromobilization (NM) as a physical therapy technique, offers some degree of symptom improvement. However, some studies have shown that NM can significantly reduce the symptoms of LBP, while others have failed to find similar positive effects.

Effect of Al and La Doping on the Structure and Magnetostrictive Properties of FeGa Alloy.

The changes of microstructure, magnetostriction properties and hardness of the FeGaAl alloy and (FeGaAl)La alloy (x = 0, 0.5, 1.5, 2.

Construction and Electrochemical Properties of Solid-state Supercapacitors with Redox Additives.

Adding redox additives to conventional electrolytes is considered to be an effective method to improve electrochemical performance of the supercapacitors, which is ascribed to the additional Farady capacitance derived from the reversible redox reaction. Here, the influence of K Fe(CN) on electrochemical properties for single electrode system and the assembled solid-state supercapacitor are investigated. The carbon felt (CF) electrode in the mixed solution of K Fe(CN) /KCl exhibits remarkable specific capacitance of 2.
