Background: Evaluating the effectiveness of Nordic walking in influencing walking ability in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
Methods: We searched 12 databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, EBSCO host, Ovid, Scopus, ClinicalTrial.gov, and several top ranked Chinese databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, CBMdisc, VIP Database, ChiCTR. The search has no starting time limit and the deadline is April 9, 2024. Randomized controlled trials and pseudo-random controlled trials were included. The two authors independently screened the literature and evaluated the quality of the study using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Meta analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 17.0 software.
Results: A total of 8 studies involving 508 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with supervised exercise therapy (SET), supervised NW was not associated with an increase in maximum walking distance (MWD) and claudication distance (CD) in PAD patients, whether during treadmill tests or 6-minute walk tests (6-MWT), and the results were not statistically significant. In terms of increasing exercise duration, SET was significantly higher than supervised NW and the results were statistically significant (SMD = -0.41, 95% Cl: -0.72 to -0.09, Z = 2.54, P = 0.01 < 0.05). Among the 8 studies included, 2 studies had control groups that were not part of the supervised exercise program and were different, therefore no meta-analysis was conducted.
Conclusions: In PAD patients, supervised NW is no significant difference in walking ability compared to SET. NW presents a viable option when SET is not available.

Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Division of Clinical Geriatrics, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Purpose: Hip fractures in older adults are a significant risk factor for morbidity and mortality, with the presence of dementia further complicating outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between hip fractures and mortality of patients with dementia and dementia types in comparison to those without dementia following hip fracture surgery.
Methods: Utilizing data from the Swedish Hip Fracture Register (SHR), Swedish Registry for Cognitive/Dementia Disorders (SveDem), National Patient Register (NPR), and National Prescribed Drug Register (PDR), we conducted a retrospective analysis of 111,353 patients aged 65 and older who underwent hip fracture surgery between 2010 and 2018.

Background: The clinical benefits and widespread use of traditional mobility aids (such as canes, walking frames, wheeled walkers, etc.) have been hampered by improper use, fear of falling, and social stigma. Clarifying the biomechanical impacts of using mobility aids on users is fundamental to optimizing rehabilitation programs.

Background: The physical activity of different groups of individuals results in the rearrangement of microbiota composition toward a symbiotic microbiota profile. This applies to both healthy and diseased individuals. Multiple myeloma (MM), one of the more common hematological malignancies, predominantly affects older adults.

The understanding of phenomena falling outside the Ginzburg-Landau paradigm of phase transitions represents a key challenge in condensed matter physics. A famous class of examples is constituted by the putative deconfined quantum critical points between two symmetry-broken phases in layered quantum magnets, such as pressurised SrCu(BO). Experiments find a weak first-order transition, which simulations of relevant microscopic models can reproduce.
