Effect of robot-assisted gait training on quality of life and depression in neurological impairment: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is often used as a rehabilitation tool for neurological impairments. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of rehabilitation with robotic devices on quality of life and depression.

Data Sources: Two electronic databases (MEDLINE and Scopus) were searched for studies from inception up to December 2022.

[The access of independent midwives to maternity ward technical facilities: the experimentation of a level-1 department].

Objectives: The first aim of this study was to evaluate the access of independent midwives to the technical facilities of a level-1 maternity hospital, with a follow-up of 2 years. The second aim was to evaluate the transfer of clinical responsibility, when a patient stops being managed by the independent midwife to be taken care of by the hospital team.

Evidence of nutriceutical effectiveness in the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Several entities have been carefully investigated for the symptomatic and structural management of osteoarthritis. The most compelling evidence of a potential for inhibiting the structural progression of osteoarthritis has been obtained with glucosamine sulfate, while some preliminary results also suggest that chondroitin sulfate could be used in the same indication. At any rate, these two compounds have clearly demonstrated a symptomatic action, mainly in osteoarthritis of the lower limbs.
