Background: Magnetic seizure therapy (MST) has emerged as a promising alternative to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for treatment-resistant depression. Previous systematic reviews and meta analysis already showed its primary results, however, there are no recent reviews updating these findings.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to make an updated systematic review of MST on unipolar and bipolar depression.

Background: Specific foot exercises and the use of minimalist shoes during running or daily life were suggested to strengthen the intrinsic foot muscles and to modify locomotion biomechanics. We aimed to review the effectiveness of these interventions to modify foot muscle sizes, foot strength, and biomechanical outcomes.
Method: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and SportDiscus databases were searched (last update: 12 March 2024).

Objectives: To investigate the meta-epidemiology and reporting characteristics of mapping reviews.
Study Design And Setting: We conducted a scoping review of a sample of recent mapping reviews (2022-2023) by searching nine electronic databases and eleven institutional websites up to January 2024. A 28-item reporting checklist, developed by our team and based on existing guidance and methodological studies of mapping reviews, was employed to assess reporting characteristics.

Background: The decision to continue aspirin before elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery remains contentious because of competing thrombotic and bleeding risks. We performed a contemporary systematic review and meta-analysis to compare outcomes between patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting who stopped and continued aspirin before surgery.
Methods: PubMed, MEDLINE, and CENTRAL databases were searched from inception to 4 October 2023 for randomized controlled trials comparing patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting who continued preoperative aspirin with those who discontinued before surgery.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
Aim: This meta-analysis aimed to compare the outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in lung transplantation.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for studies comparing ECMO to CPB in lung transplantation. Odds ratios (ORs) for binary endpoints and mean differences (MDs) for continuous outcomes were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
