Background: Osteoid osteomas are responsible for 10% of benign bone tumours. Treatment typically involves surgical excision or radio frequency ablation. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate reported cases of foot and ankle osteoid osteomas.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the literature using the online databases Medline and EMBASE. We included studies reporting osteoid osteoma diagnosed either radiologically or histologically.
Results: 94 studies were included reporting 223 cases; 70.5% were male, mean age was 23 years, 69% reported night pain and 72% responded to NSAIDs. The commonest affected bone was the talus. CT scan was the most useful radiological investigation and MRI missed the diagnosis in 34% of cases. The majority of patients underwent surgical excision but an increasing trend of ablation therapy was demonstrated.
Conclusions: A high index of suspicion based on salient history and appropriate imaging are essential for timely identification and treatment.

Background: To successfully design, develop, implement, and deliver digital health services that provide value, they should be cocreated with patients. However, occasionally, the value may also be codestructed. In the field of health care, the concepts of value cocreation and codestruction still need to be better established within emerging digital health services.

The Kinghorn Cancer Centre, St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Purpose: Over the past 15 years, the landscape of early phase clinical trials (EPCTs) has undergone a remarkable expansion in both quantity and intricacy. The proliferation of sites, trials, sponsors, and contract research organizations has surged exponentially, marking a significant shift in research conduct. However, EPCT operations suffer from numerous inefficiencies, such as cumbersome start-up processes, which are particularly critical when drug safety and the recommended phase II dose need to be established in a timely manner.

January 2025
Department of Experimental Oncology, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milano, Italy.
Background: Randomised trials conducted from 2006 to 2021 indicated that vitamin D supplementation (VDS) was able to prevent severe COVID-19 and acute respiratory infections (ARI). However, larger randomised trials published in 2022 did not confirm the health benefits of VDS in COVID-19 patients.
Objective: To examine through a systematic review with meta-analysis the characteristics of randomised trials on VDS to COVID-19 patients and admission to intensive care unit (ICU), and of randomised trials on VDS for the prevention of ARI.

Orthopedics Department, First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin, China.
Objective: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to clarify the rehabilitation efficacy of virtual reality (VR) balance training after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Methods: This meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO with the registration number CRD42024520383. The electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature, China Science and Technology Journal Database, and Wanfang Digital Periodical database were systematically searched to identify eligible studies from their inception up to January 2024.
