Effectiveness of physiotherapy modalities on persisting dyspnoea in long COVID: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Dyspnoea is often found months and years later in the "long-covid" syndrome, impairing quality of life and further perpetuating anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorders. Physiotherapy was recommended as a treatment in long-covid, but there is still insufficient evidence on its effectiveness.

Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search on MEDLINE, PEDro, WOS, Scopus, VHL and the Cochrane Library until July 2023 (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023427464).

High-intensity interval training effects on people with multiple sclerosis; a systematic review and meta-analyses for exercise capacity and fatigue.

Objective: This study was to examine the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) interventions on exercise capacity and fatigue in people with MS.

Design: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar databases were systematically searched from inception to January 2024.

The Functional Capacity of the Upper Airway in Older Adults with Chronic Stroke.

(1) Background: Older adults with chronic stroke may experience compromised upper airway functions due to stroke-related changes and aging. This study aimed to evaluate the functional capacity of the upper airway in older adults with chronic stroke. (2) Methods: A total of 44 patients (22 in each group) were included in the study.

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.
