Italian Orthopaedic and Traumatology Society (SIOT) position statement on the non-surgical management of knee osteoarthritis
ConclusionsFor non-surgical management of knee OA, the recommended first step is to bring about lifestyle changes, particularly management of body weight combined with physical exercise and/or hydrotherapy. For acute symptoms, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), topic or oral, can be used. Opioids can only be used as third-line pharmacological treatment. Glucosamine and chondroitin are also suggested as chronic pharmacological treatment.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, June 26th 2023
This study explored the association between different cooking fuel types and the risk of cancer and all-cause mortality among seniors constructing Cox regression models.

Cooking fuels were categorized as either biomass, fossil, or clean fuels. And the effects of switching cooking fuels on death risk were also investigated using Cox regression models. The results indicate that, compared with the users of clean fuels, individuals using bio...

Diagnostic concordance of telemedicine as compared to face-to-face care in primary health care clinics in rural India: a randomized crossover trial

Telemedicine is less reliable than in-person care but a safe and effective alternative where in-person care cannot be provided. We found it most effective for managing high-burden primary health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and remote antenatal care. The use of a digital assistant to facilitate the collection of an evidence-based medical history can result in more e...
