Aim: To synthesize evidence regarding the effectiveness of technology-based psychosocial interventions in improving health-related outcomes among family caregivers of stroke survivors.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how combined aerobic and resistance exercises impact cognition, metabolic health, physical function, and health-related quality of life in middle-aged and older adults with type 2 diabetes.
- Sixteen randomized controlled trials involving 2,426 participants were analyzed, revealing that the combined exercise routine significantly improved cognitive function, metabolic health indicators (like HbA1c and cholesterol levels), and physical well-being.
- It was found that effective exercise regimens should total at least 135 minutes per week, with a minimum of 60 minutes dedicated to resistance training to achieve these benefits.
Background: Ergonomic hazards are the most important cause of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in aged para rubber farmers. Ergonomic management comprising improvement of working conditions and muscle-strengthening exercise has been well documented in terms of workers' health benefit. However, those interventions were not adequate to sustain the advantage.
