Cochrane Database Syst Rev
February 2024
Faculty of Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation Sciences, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Background: Massage is widely used for neck pain, but its effectiveness remains unclear.
Objectives: To assess the benefits and harms of massage compared to placebo or sham, no treatment or exercise as an adjuvant to the same co-intervention for acute to chronic persisting neck pain in adults with or without radiculopathy, including whiplash-associated disorders and cervicogenic headache.
Search Methods: We searched multiple databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Index to Chiropractic Literature, trial registries) to 1 October 2023.
Transgender and other gender diverse adolescents with eating disorders requiring medical stabilization.
J Eat Disord
December 2022
Department of Pediatrics, University of California, San Francisco, 550 16th Street, Box 0503, San Francisco, CA, 94143, USA.
Background: Despite the high prevalence of eating disorders in gender diverse adolescents, little is known about the characteristics of gender diverse youth with eating disorders who require inpatient medical stabilization. The primary objective of this study was to describe the medical, anthropometric, and psychiatric characteristics of gender diverse adolescents hospitalized for eating disorders and compare these characteristics to cisgender peers hospitalized for eating disorders. The secondary objective was to evaluate percent median body mass index as one marker of malnutrition and treatment goal body mass index as a recovery metric between patients' birth-assigned sex and affirmed gender using standardized clinical growth charts.

July 2022
Section of Oncology, Department of Medicine, University of Verona School of Medicine and Verona University Hospital Trust, Verona, Italy. Electronic address:
Purpose: To determine the impact of exercise on functional capacity, measured through the "Six minutes walking test" (6MWT) in patients with advanced cancer stage.
Methods: Systematic research on PubMed, Cochrane Library, and SportDiscus was conducted. Randomized controlled trials were eligible if they examined the effect of exercise on 6MWT.
Right ventricular function and its coupling to pulmonary circulation predicts exercise tolerance in systolic heart failure.
ESC Heart Fail
February 2022
Department of Medicine, Montreal Heart Institute and University of Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Aims: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, and exercise intolerance have prognostic values, but their interrelation is not fully understood. We investigated how RV function alone and its coupling with pulmonary circulation (RV-PA) predict cardio-respiratory fitness in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Methods And Results: The Evaluation of Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure (EARTH) study included 205 HFrEF patients with narrow (n = 85) and prolonged (n = 120) QRS duration undergoing implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation.
