Efficacy of reminiscence therapy in improving cognitive decline: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: ‌ Reminiscence therapy(RT) is used in the care of people with dementia to help improve their quality of life, but the efficacy of RT in various cognitive decline populations is unclear, and long-term effects are not sufficiently evidenced.This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to determine the efficacy of RT in improving cognitive decline and provide evidence for its implementation in care.

Methods: A comprehensive search strategy utilizing MeSH terms and free-text keywords was employed to systematically search the Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane databases up to January 24, 2024.

Efficacy of rTMS in treating functional impairment in post-stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Most stroke patients suffer from an imbalance in blood supply, which causes severe brain damage leading to functional deficits in motor, sensory, swallowing, cognitive, emotional, and speech functions. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is thought to restore functions impaired during the stroke process and improve the quality of life of stroke patients. However, the efficacy of rTMS in treating post-stroke function impairment varies significantly.

Performance of [F]FDG PET/CT versus FAPI PET/CT for lung cancer assessment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: This article aims to compare the diagnostic performance of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG) PET/CT and fibroblast activating protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT in the assessment of primary tumors, lymph nodes, and distant metastases in lung cancer patients.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted on the Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed/MEDLINE databases from inception until November 1, 2022. Included studies assessed the use of FAPI PET/CT and [F]FDG PET/CT in patients with lung cancer.

[Ga]Ga-FAPI PET for the evaluation of digestive system tumors: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Digestive system tumors are a group of tumors with high incidence in the world nowadays. The assessment of digestive system tumor metastasis by conventional imaging seems to be unsatisfactory. [Ga]Ga-FAPI, which has emerged in recent years, seems to be able to evaluate digestive system tumor metastasis.
