Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the association between sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and the risk of orthostatic hypotension (OH) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Method: A systematic literature retrieval was performed using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) from inception up to 16 October 2019. Data for study characteristics and outcomes of interest were extracted from each eligible study. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for OH were calculated using a random-effects model.
Result: A total of 16 studies ( = 12,749) were included in our meta-analysis, with a result of 44 incident OH cases (29 in the SGLT2 inhibitor group, and 15 in the control group). The pooled RR was 1.17 (95% CI: 0.65-2.09). There was no evidence that receiving SGLT2 inhibitors increased the risk of OH, when stratified by age, duration of T2DM, or placebo-control or active-control and baseline blood pressure.
Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggested that, in general, SGLPT2 inhibitors did not increase the risk of OH in patients with T2DM. The possibility of OH should be, therefore, considered on an individual basis, especially in patients with a history of OH, long duration of T2DM, or comorbidities.

Introduction: Spinopelvic kinematics, reflected by the change in spinopelvic tilt (ΔSPT) from a standing position to a flexed seated position, has been associated with the risk of prosthetic impingement and hip dislocation. Some studies have suggested changes in spinopelvic mobility after total hip arthroplasty (THA), but none have explored changes in mobility in the first three months following THA using a direct anterior approach.
Hypothesis: Our hypothesis was that changes in spinopelvic mobility occur in the first 3 months postoperatively, leading to increased hip mobility and increased spinopelvic kinematic abnormalities.

Childbirth is a dynamic process involving mutual adaptation between the maternal pelvis and the presenting fetal part. The ability of the pelvis to maintain optimal mobility during labor plays a crucial role in achieving favorable obstetric outcomes. The pubic arch angle (PAA) increases amplitude during pregnancy, showing pelvic tissue adjustment.

Accurate acetabular component positioning is crucial for the success of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Malplacement of the acetabular component increases the risk of post-surgery complications, most notably dislocation.1 Furthermore, malposition can also result in wear of the polyethylene liner, limited range of motion, and osteolysis.

Controlling hypertension has become an important issue in the elderly population in whom neurological comorbidities are highly prevalent. Most of the large-scale trials focusing on hypertension management in older populations have excluded patients with comorbid neurological disorders. However, this population requires special considerations, as the benefits of antihypertensive agents are mostly uncertain and there is a higher risk of adverse events.

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) α-synuclein seeding activity (SSA) via a seed amplification assay might predict central Lewy body diseases (LBD) in at-risk individuals.
Objective: The aim was to assess CSF SSA in a prospective, longitudinal study.
Methods: Participants self-reported risk factors were genetics, olfactory dysfunction, dream enactment behavior, orthostatic intolerance, or hypotension; individuals who had ≥3 confirmed risk factors underwent CSF sampling and were followed for up to 7.
