An abdominal vibration combined with walking exercise (AVCWE) program for older patients with constipation: Development and feasibility study.

Background: Older patients with constipation are at higher risk for inadequate bowel preparation, but there are currently no targeted strategies. This study aims to develop an abdominal vibration combined with walking exercise (AVCWE) program and assess its feasibility among older patients with constipation.

Methods: Phase I: Using the Delphi technique, eight experts across three professional fields were consulted to develop the AVCWE program.

A Systematic Review of Exercise Therapy for Bowel Preparation: Evidence to Guide Practice.

This systematic review aims to evaluate (1) the effectiveness of exercise therapy in bowel preparation for colonoscopy, and (2) the characteristics of exercise programs for bowel preparation. Systematic searches were done in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CINAHL from inception to November 2022. Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies assessing the efficacy of exercise during bowel preparation were included in this review.

Effect of visual distraction on pain in adults undergoing colonoscopy: a meta-analysis.

Background: Pain is a contributing factor to the low compliance rate for performing a colonoscopy on screening for colorectal cancer.

Purpose: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of visual distraction on adults undergoing colonoscopy.

Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library Database from their inception to February 2022.

Cytotoxic cobalt (III) Schiff base complexes: in vitro anti-proliferative, oxidative stress and gene expression studies in human breast and lung cancer cells.

Increasing cancer drug chemo-resistance, especially in the treatment of breast and lung cancers, alarms the immediate need of newer and effective anticancer drugs. Until now, chemotherapeutics based on metal complexes are considered the most effective treatment modality. In the present study, we have evaluated the cytotoxic effect of two cobalt (III) Schiff base complexes based on the leads from complex combinatorial chemistry.
