Purpose: Traditional Chinese medicine possesses distinct advantages in the treatment of acute lumbar sprains, and Tuina (Chinese massage) is a commonly employed therapeutic method. This study employed a Bayesian meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of Tuina therapy for acute lumbar sprain with the aim of providing more evidence-based medical substantiation for clinical practice.
Patients And Methods: Randomized controlled trials of Tuina therapy for acute lumbar sprains published in CNKI, CSPD, CCD, CBM, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched up to August 7, 2024.

Background: Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy has revolutionized the management of various ocular conditions, including diabetic macular edema (DME), retinal vein occlusion (RVO)-related macular edema (ME), and neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). However, there remains a need to systematically assess its effectiveness across these distinct conditions.
Methodology: A systematic review was conducted to identify studies evaluating the efficacy of anti-VEGF therapy in improving ocular outcomes in patients with DME, RVO-related ME, and nAMD.

Cone and spectral opponency are fundamental to colour processing in many species and are well studied in primates. The data required to make interspecific comparisons of the neural mechanisms associated with colour processing is spread across a broad body of literature reaching back to the 1950's across four retinal cell types and multiple brain regions. We aimed to produce a comprehensive dataset of all known cone opponent cells in non-primate vertebrates in image forming visual pathways.
