Background: Although physical exercise has been proven to yield beneficial outcomes for individual health, the dose-response association between physical exercise time and depression among adolescents remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between exercise time and depression among adolescents, as well as the dose-response relationship.
Methods: A logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the correlation between physical exercise time and depression among adolescents.
Background: With the improvement of medical treatment, the survival rate of cancer patients continues to rise; however, their psychological issues require further management. Currently, there is uncertainty regarding the prevalence of mental health problems among cancer survivors.
Objective: To quantitatively summarize the global prevalence of mental health problems in cancer survivors.
With the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it has had a profound impact on medical education. Understanding the advantages and issues of AI in medical education, providing guidance for educators, and overcoming challenges in the implementation process is particularly important.

Methods: Data on UPF consumption (grams/day) were derived from the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The analysis controlled for age, marital status, race, and sex.
During adolescence, empathy and prosocial behavior contribute to the establishment of positive interpersonal relationships and social connections, promoting holistic development in youth. A substantial amount of research has provided compelling evidence that there is a relationship between peer relationships and empathy and prosocial behavior. Empathy, as a key mediating factor, links the influence of peers with prosocial behavior in adolescents, yet there is currently a lack of robust meta-analytic evidence regarding this mediating role.

Objective: This meta-analysis aims to investigate the dose-response relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of PIs in adult hospitalized patients.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) in healing pressure injuries (PIs).
Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving rhEGF in the treatment of PIs that were identified in PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). The population, intervention, comparison, outcomes, study design (PICOS) strategy was applied to determine analysis eligibility.
Introduction: Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that affects a significant proportion of the global population, particularly those of childbearing age. Several studies have attempted to find an association between schizophrenia and obstetric complications, with varying results.
Objective: The primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analyses was to summarize the relationship between maternal schizophrenia and perinatal pregnancy outcomes.
Background: Shortages of nurses and unequal distribution of nursing staff have been huge challenges for global health services.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of the National Nursing Development Plan on nursing human resources in China.
Methods: An interrupted time series design was used in this study.

Environmental air pollutants (black carbon (BC), nitrogen oxides (NO), particulate matter with diameter < 2.5 μm (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO), particulate matter with diameter <10 μm (PM), and ozone (O)) are one of the major menaces to mankind's health globally. This analysis reviews the association between exposure to these air pollutants and the chance of developing brain tumors in adults (total brain tumors, malignant brain tumors, and benign brain tumors).

Device-related pressure injuries (DRPIs) prevail in the intensive care unit (ICU) and have much to do with medical devices and patients' conditions. This meta-analysis aims to systematically assess the incidence, prevalence and risk factors related to DRPIs among adults in ICU. Web of Science, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, PubMed and CINAHL were searched from inception to March 2023.

No meta-analysis has been reported assessing the prevalence and correlated risk factors for QTc prolongation.
Methods: This meta-analysis aimed to assess the evidence for the prevalence of QTc prolongation and correlated risk factors in patients with schizophrenia taking antipsychotics.
