Article Synopsis
  • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES) have been shown to aid in upper limb recovery for stroke patients, according to multiple clinical studies.
  • This review analyzes randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from various databases to determine the effectiveness of BCI-FES training on upper limb function in stroke patients, emphasizing quality assessment through the PEDro scale.
  • The meta-analysis involved 290 patients and found moderate improvements in motor function, with significant benefits for those undergoing BCI-FES training compared to standard FES, as well as favorable outcomes for both subacute and chronic stroke patients.

Background: As a fibrinolytic enzyme from fermented soybean, nattokinase has been shown to be potentially beneficial for cardiovascular health, but current clinical evidences regarding the nattokinase supplementation on cardiovascular risk factors are various. This study aims to evaluate the cardiovascular efficacy of nattokinase.

Methods: Four electronic databases were systematically searched to collect eligible randomized controlled trials.

The role of Guizhi Fuling Pill (GZFL) in the treatment of ischemic stroke (IS) is still controversial, and its pharmacological mechanism remains unclear. To evaluate the efficacy and potential pharmacological mechanisms of GZFL on IS, a comprehensive method integrating meta-analysis, network pharmacology, and molecular docking was employed. Eight electronic databases were searched from inception to November 2023.

Purpose Of Review: This systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to compare the efficacy of different mind-body exercise (MBE) interventions, including Yoga, Pilates, Qigong, and Tai Chi, in managing chronic non-specific neck pain (CNNP). We searched randomized controlled trials in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library. After screening eligible studies and extracting relevant data, risk of bias of included studies was assessed by the Cochrane Risk of Bias assessment tool, and network meta-analysis was performed by the Stata software version 16.

We aimed to assess and rank comparative efficacy of different constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) protocols on motor function of upper extremity and activities of daily living (ADL) in stroke survivors. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library to identify randomized controlled trials on CIMT. Included studies were evaluated using the revised Cochrane risk of bias tool.

We have investigated the magnetism and magnetocaloric effect of TlCo Ni S (0 [Formula: see text] x [Formula: see text] 0.05). TlCoS and TlCoNiS are ferromagnetically ordered below 153 K and 142 K with saturated moment 0.

We have investigated the critical behavior near the ferromagnetic transition of TlCoS single crystals and the magnetic properties of Tl(CoNi)S by means of magnetization measurements. The obtained critical exponents β, γ and δ of TlCoS could basically satisfy the scaling equations and are found very close to the prediction of the tricritical mean-field theory. 5[Formula: see text] Ni doping drives the system to an antiferromagnetic ground state which is unstable to magnetic field, yielding metamagnetic transition.
