History and Clinical Development of Nanomedicines, Nanostructure, and Nanoscale Sciences
CONCLUSIONS: The nanodrug complexes are successfully translated into several modern medications. The new and innovative nanodrug can potentially be used precisely and correctly to diagnose and treat the terminally ill patients. However, the developed nanodrug complexes, whether they are carriers or therapeutic agents, need thorough physiochemical, pharmacological, and immunological characterization before actual use in clinical practice in different human population of the world.PMID:37574204

Acupuncture for Post-stroke Shoulder-Hand Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Acupuncture therapy seems effective for motor function, pain relief and activities of daily living in stroke patients with mild SHS, when it is used in combination with rehabilitation. The low certainty of evidence downgrades our confidence in making recommendations to clinical practice. Introduction Shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) is a common condition among people who have had a stroke, with its reported prevalence ranging from 12% to 49% (1, 2). The main symptoms of SHS include pain, hyperalgesia, joint swelling and limitations in range of motion (ROM) (3). Post-stroke SHS is also named type I complex ...

The Case for Whole-Person Integrative Care
Conclusions: Evidence for the benefit of whole-person care models exist but definitions are quite heterogenous and unfocused. There is a need for more standardization of whole-person models and more research using whole systems approaches rather than reductionistic attempts using isolated components.PMID:34209250 | PMC:PMC8307064 | DOI:10.3390/medicina57070677

Treatment for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (thrush)
CONCLUSIONS: In women with RVVC, treatment with oral or topical antifungals may reduce symptomatic clinical recurrences when compared to placebo or no treatment. We were unable to find clear differences between different treatment options (e.g. oral versus topical treatment, different doses and durations). These findings are not applicable to pregnant or immunocompromised women and women with diabetes as the studies did not include or report on them. More research is needed to determine the optimal medication, dose and frequency.PMID:35005777 | PMC:PMC8744138 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD009151.pub2

Ultrafiltration for acute heart failure
CONCLUSIONS: This review summarises the latest evidence on UF in AHF. Moderate-certainty evidence shows UF probably reduces heart failure-related rehospitalisation in the long term, with an NNTB of 10. UF may reduce all-cause rehospitalisation at 30 days or less and at longest available follow-up. The effect of UF on all-cause mortality at 30 days or less is unclear, and it may have little effect on all-cause mortality in the long-term. While UF may have little or no effect on serum creatinine change at 30 days, it may increase the risk of new initiation of renal replacement therapy in the long term. The effect on complica...

The use of complementary and alternative medicine for the treatment of gastrointestinal symptoms in Long COVID: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: This is the first systematic review to explore the role of CAM in treating GI manifestations of Long COVID. The review identified four studies, all reporting reductions in the GI symptoms of Long COVID. Despite the positive studies included in this review, the overall search yielded few results, all of which were non-experimental. As the post-infectious sequelae of COVID-19 become better recognized in the wake of the pandemic, higher-quality clinical studies are needed.PMID:37577106 | PMC:PMC10422885 | DOI:10.1177/20406223231190548
