Introduction: Mobile technology has revolutionised the way people interact with others and gain access to healthcare services. Given that cultural background is a strong moderator for technology penetration, this systematic review aims to examine end-user perceptions and design recommendations for mobile health applications among Asian older people.
Methods And Analysis: Five electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Medline and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) will be searched until May 2025. Studies conducted on Asian older people aged 60+ years, with English/Chinese full text available, will be included. Narrative approaches and effect direction plots will be used for data analyses. Risk of bias across studies will be examined using Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 and Risk of Bias in Nonrandomised Studies of Interventions, whereas the quality of evidence will be assessed by Shekelle's classification scheme.
Ethics And Dissemination: No ethical approval will be required. The findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journal articles.

Review article: Efficacy of cyproheptadine in the management of serotonin toxicity following deliberate self-poisoning - A systematic review.

Serotonin toxicity is a potentially fatal condition caused by increased serotonergic activity in the central nervous system. Cyproheptadine, a serotonergic antagonist, is recommended for treatment; however, there is a lack of evidence to support its use. The present study aimed to evaluate the evidence for the use of cyproheptadine in the management of serotonin toxicity following deliberate self-poisoning.

Background: Patients with obesity are at high-risk of extubation failure. Discrepancies were found in the results of recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding the roles of noninvasive ventilation (NIV), high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and conventional oxygen therapy (COT) to prevent extubation failure in critically ill patients with obesity.
Methods: In this systematic review and network meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Center Register of Controlled Trials and Web of Science from 1 January 1998 to 1 July 2024 for RCTs evaluating noninvasive respiratory support therapies (NIV, HFNC, COT, NIV + HFNC) after extubation in critically ill adults with obesity.

Objective: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the effectiveness of dry needling (DN) to improve function, proprioception, and balance and to reduce pain in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI).
Methods: We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for this review. We searched PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and ProQuest databases from inception until July 2022 using the PICO (population, intervention, comparison, outcome) method.

Background: Increasing evidence suggests that a diet rich in antioxidants may prevent erectile dysfunction (ED), but the impact of comprehensive dietary antioxidants on ED has been little studied.
Aim: To investigate the association between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and ED risk in adult men.
Methods: The study performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from the 2001-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to investigate the association between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and ED.
