Effectiveness of non-instrumental early mobilization to reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis in hospitalized patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) poses a significant health risk, particularly in hospitalized patients with multiple risk factors (cigarette smoking, hypertension, diabetes and obesity). Despite advances in treatment, DVT remains a prevalent complication of hospitalization.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of non-instrumental mobilization in hospitalized patients at high risk of DVT, exploring the challenges and variations in intervention protocols.

Proactive physical activity programs in lung cancer surgical patients at short and mid-term: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To assess the effects of proactive physical activity (PA) programs on lung cancer patients undergoing lung resection at short and mid-term.

Methods: We conducted a literature search through MEDLINE, Science Direct, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library (last search October 2023). The GRADE System and the Cochrane tool were applied to quality assessment.

E-Health Interventions to Improve Health Outcomes in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Systematic Review.

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease that involves damage to one or more organs and systems. E-Health technologies have been used to improve the quality of care and to minimize the cost of rehabilitation services. This study aimed to provide the most recent and convincing evidence on the rehabilitation effects of e-Health interventions compared to conventional treatments.

Association between Mid-Term Functionality and Clinical Severity in Patients Hospitalized for Pulmonary Embolism.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between clinical severity and functionality, occupational performance, and health-related quality of life in patients hospitalized with pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism patients were grouped by clinical severity using the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index. Those scoring ≥160 were in the high-severity group (HSG); those scoring < 160 in the low-moderate group (LMSG).

Musculoskeletal Disorders Related to Upper Limb Disability after One-Year Lung Cancer Resection.

Lung resection represents the main curative treatment in lung cancer; however, this surgical process leads to several disorders in tissues and organs. Previous studies have reported cardiovascular, pulmonary, and muscular disturbances that affect the functional capacity of these patients in the short, mid, and long term. However, upper limb impairment has been scarcely explored in the long term, despite the relevance in the independence of the patients.

Effects of Telerehabilitation on Pain and Disability in Patients with Chronic Neck Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

(1) : This systematic review and meta-analysis explores the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in patients suffering from chronic neck pain, specifically on pain and disability. The research delves into an area of growing significance within the realm of healthcare, aiming to understand the impact of digital interventions on the rehabilitation process for individuals with prolonged neck pain. (2) : The comprehensive review encompasses a wide array of studies evaluating the collective outcomes of numerous trials focused on telerehabilitation strategies.

Efficacy in urinary symptom burden, psychological distress, and self-efficacy of education-enhanced interventions in prostate cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analyses.

Background: Worldwide, prostate cancer is both the second-most diagnosed cancer and most common solid tumor in men. Prostate cancer patients present with a symptom burden that is compounded by the impact of medical oncology treatment, affecting different domains of their perceived health status. Education active techniques are a key role in chronic disease to increase participation in their recovery.
