Purpose: To systematically review the effects of exercise interventions on pain, fatigue, quality of life, disease activity, aerobic capacity, and dryness in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), and to determine the most effective type of exercise.
Materials And Methods: A literature search was conducted using Web of Science, PubMed/MEDLINE, ProQuest, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library, and PEDro databases. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) examining the effects of exercise interventions in patients with pSS were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Risk of Bias version-2 tool and PEDro scale.
Results: Five RCTs, including 269 female patients with pSS were analyzed. High-quality studies indicated that exercise interventions significantly improved pain ( = 0.008), fatigue ( < 0.00001), quality of life ( = 0.0003), and aerobic capacity ( = 0.009) compared to controls. Sensitivity analysis indicated that resistance exercise was particularly effective, significantly improving pain ( < 0.00001), fatigue ( < 0.00001), quality of life ( < 0.00001), and disease activity ( = 0.02).
Conclusion: Exercise interventions may offer significant benefits in reducing pain and fatigue, as well as improving quality of life and aerobic capacity, in patients with pSS compared to no-treatment. Resistance exercise appears to be more effective than other exercise models.

Importance: Exercise intervention studies have shown benefits for patients with lung cancer undergoing surgery, yet most interventions to date have been resource intensive and have followed a one-size-fits-all approach.
Objective: To determine whether a personalized, clinic-aligned perioperative exercise program with remote monitoring and instructions can improve physical function and fatigue among patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The Precision-Exercise-Prescription (PEP) randomized clinical trial is a single-center phase 3 trial.

Importance: Sexual dysfunction is a common adverse effect of prostate cancer treatment, and current management strategies do not adequately address physical and psychological causes. Exercise is a potential therapy in the management of sexual dysfunction.
Objective: To investigate the effects of supervised, clinic-based, resistance and aerobic exercise with and without a brief psychosexual education and self-management intervention (PESM) on sexual function in men with prostate cancer compared with usual care.

Sweat, as a metabolic byproduct, encompasses a diverse array of molecular information pertinent to our physiological states and overall health. The extraction of minute quantities of sweat, coupled with sensitive monitoring and identification of its internal molecular components, constitutes an effective strategy for assessing bodily conditions. We engineer a Janus membrane utilizing electrospinning techniques for application on human skin to facilitate sweat collection.

Preclinical studies have shown that the blood from female mice exposed weekly to magnetic fields inhibited breast cancer growth. This double-blind randomized controlled trial investigated whether analogous magnetic therapy could produce similar anticancer sera from human subjects. Twenty-six healthy adult females (ages 30-45) were assigned to either a magnetic therapy group, receiving twice weekly 1 mT magnetic exposures (10 min/session) for 4 weeks, or a control group, who underwent identical sham exposure.

High cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with better overall health. This study aimed to find a metabolic signature associated with CRF to identify health-promoting effects. CRF based on cardiopulmonary exercise testing, targeted and untargeted metabolomics approaches based on mass spectrometry, and clinical data from two independent cohorts of the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) were used.
