IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 5796: Identification of Metabolic Factors and Inflammatory Markers Predictive of Outcome after Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: Several limitations such as not taking into account known confounding factors, the use of many different outcome measures and a widely varying follow-up period made it challenging to draw firm conclusions and clinical implications. Therefore large-scaled longitudinal studies assessing the predictive value of metabolic and inflammatory factors pre-surgery in addition to the already evidenced risk factors with follow-up of one year after TKA are warranted.

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 4466: Physical Therapy in Tension-Type Headache: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
Conclusions: This systematic review shows that there is no standardized physical therapy protocol for the approach to tension headache, although all the techniques studied to date address in one way or another the cranio-cervical-mandibular region. The approach to the cranio-cervical-mandibular region reports significant effects in terms of decreasing the intensity of pain and frequency of headache episodes in the short and medium term. More long-term longitudinal studies are needed.

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 4390: Intra-Articular Collagen Injections for Osteoarthritis: A Narrative Review
sana Gnasso Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most frequent degenerative progressive joint disease worldwide, with the hand, hip, and knee being the most-affected joints. Actually, no treatment can alter the course of OA, and therapy is directed at reducing pain and improving function. The exogenous administration of collagen has been investigated as a possible symptomatic adjuvant or stand-alone treatment for OA. The aim of this review is to assess if intra-articular collagen administration can be considered as a valid and safe therapeutic option for OA. A search in the main scientific electronic databases to identify the av...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 4287: Use of Iontophoresis with Corticosteroid in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Iontophoresis did not obtain an enhanced improvement compared to other interventions, but no clear recommendations could be made due to the limited number of included studies and the heterogeneity found in the assessment and intervention protocols. Further research is needed to draw sound conclusions.

Conclusions: WBVE may be an alternative capable of interfering with physical—mainly for flexibility with weighted mean differences (1.70; 95% CI 0.15, 3.25; n = 39)—functional, psychosocial, neuromuscular, emotional parameters, and consequently contribute to improvements in metabolic health and reduce the cardiovascular risk factor in MSy individuals. Nevertheless, further additional studies are required to understand the long-term effects of WBVE on MSy and its complications in a better way. Protocol study registration was as follows: PROSPERO (CRD 42020187319).

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 3374: Integrated Care as a Model for Interprofessional Disease Management and the Benefits for People Living with HIV/AIDS
Conclusions: Integrated care focuses on the holistic view of PLWH, considering medical, nursing, psychosocial, and psychiatric needs, as well as the various interactions among them. A comprehensive expansion of integrated care in primary health care settings will not only relieve the burden on hospitals but also significantly improve the patient situation and the outcome of treatment.

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 1401: Effectiveness of Blood Flow Restriction on Functionality, Quality of Life and Pain in Patients with Neuromusculoskeletal Pathologies: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: The data collected indicate that the blood flow restriction tool is a therapeutic alternative due to its effectiveness under different exercise modalities. The benefits found include decreases in pain thresholds and improvement in the functionality and quality of life of the neuro-musculoskeletal patient during the first six weeks. However, the results provided by this tool are still not clear for medium- and long-term interventions.
