Iron Deficiency Anemia and Migraine: A Literature Review of the Prevalence, Pathophysiology, and Therapeutic Potential.

This literature review explores the association between iron deficiency anemia and migraines, examining their prevalence, underlying pathophysiology, and therapeutic potential of iron supplementation in managing migraine symptoms. A systematic search across major academic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Science.gov, identified relevant peer-reviewed studies that focus on the link between iron deficiency anemia and migraines.

Curcumin and Cognitive Function: A Systematic Review of the Effects of Curcumin on Adults With and Without Neurocognitive Disorders.

This systematic review investigates the effect of curcumin on neurocognitive exams and inflammatory serum biomarkers in adults 18 years and older. We search PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute. Modeling the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (PRISMA), we screened 1,284 studies with the keywords "neurocognitive disorders," "dementia," "cognitive health," "serum biomarkers," and "curcumin.

Effectiveness of High-Fiber, Plant-Based Diets in Reducing Cardiovascular Risk Factors Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults: A Systematic Review.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a prominent contributor to morbidity and mortality, particularly in the middle-aged and elderly population. Plant-based, high-fiber diets high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts can significantly lower CVD risk factors. This systematic review aims to assess how effectively diet improves cardiovascular health in this demographic.

A Comprehensive Narrative Review of the Impact of Pelvic Radiotherapy on Pelvic Bone Health: Pathophysiology, Early Diagnosis, and Prevention Strategies.

Radiotherapy is a commonly used modality in pelvic malignancies such as prostate, gastrointestinal, or gynecological, either as a primary treatment or an adjuvant post-surgery. Despite its positive impact on the prognosis of these patients, it was found in several studies that it contributes to insufficiency fractures in different sites of the pelvis, more commonly in the sacral ala. This is particularly true for elderly patients.

The Impact of Exercise on C-reactive Protein Levels in Hypertensive Patients: A Systematic Review.

Hypertension, defined as persistently elevated blood pressure, is a prevalent chronic condition and a significant global health issue, closely linked to cardiovascular complications, with inflammation being one of the underlying mechanisms. In hypertensive patients, C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker, is often elevated and associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Alongside pharmacotherapy, exercise is recommended as a non-pharmacological approach to managing hypertension, with evidence suggesting that exercise can also reduce inflammation.

Evaluating the Impact of Telemedicine on Diabetes Management in Rural Communities: A Systematic Review.

Telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare services using information and communication technologies to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of telemedicine, transforming how healthcare is delivered, especially in remote and underserved areas. Despite its potential, no systematic reviews have been conducted in the last five years to assess the effectiveness of telemedicine for managing diabetes in rural populations.

The Effectiveness of Intraosseous Basivertebral Nerve Ablation in the Treatment of Nonradiating Vertebrogenic Pain: A Systematic Review.

Intraosseous basivertebral nerve ablation has shown sustained efficacy in treating chronic axial low back pain (LBP) in patients with type 1 or 2 Modic changes. This systematic review aims to determine the efficacy of intraosseous basivertebral nerve radiofrequency ablation in treating nonradiating axial chronic LBP compared to standard therapy, sham, or without contrast. The population of interest is individuals greater than or equal to 18 years old with chronic nonradiating vertebrogenic pain.

A Systematic Review of Antibiotic Resistance Trends and Treatment Options for Hospital-Acquired Multidrug-Resistant Infections.

Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health challenge described by the World Health Organization as one of the top 10 public health challenges worldwide. Drug-resistant microbes contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in the hospital, especially in the critical care unit. The primary etiology of increasing antibiotic resistance is inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotics.

The Impact of Dietary Fat on Breast Cancer Incidence and Survival: A Systematic Review.

Breast cancer has become one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, and researchers have struggled to explore new avenues for managing it for decades. One of the ways was to analyze the diet and its importance concerning this disease. This review aims to study the effect dietary fat has on the risk of breast cancer incidence as well as its influence on the survival of breast cancer patients.

Efficacy of Anakinra in Pericarditis: A Systematic Review.

Inflammation of the pericardium is referred to as pericarditis, which can cause sharp chest pain and has a high chance of recurrence even after treatment. This review will explore anakinra, which is an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, as a potential new treatment for pericarditis. The systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines by searching PubMed and GoogleScholar from the years 2012 to 2022.

Targeted Temperature Management After Cardiac Arrest: A Systematic Review.

Targeted temperature management (TTM) has been the cornerstone of post-cardiac arrest care, but even after therapy, neurological outcomes remain poor. We performed a systematic review to evaluate the influence of TTM in post-cardiac arrest treatment, its effect on the neurological outcome, survival, and the adverse events associated with it. We also aimed to examine any difference between the effect of therapy at various intensities and durations on the prognosis of the patient.
