Article Abstract
Introduction: Aging is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. It promotes vascular dysfunction which is associated with risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Exercise can modulate vascular function parameters, but little is known about the effects of different modalities of training (aerobic, resistance, and combined) on endothelial function and arterial stiffness in older adults.
Methods: This systematic review study will include randomized controlled trials (RCTs) selected from the electronic databases MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane, LILACS, EMBASE, and Web of Science. We will follow the PRISMA guidelines and PICOS framework. Studies involving both male and female older adults (≥60 years old) with or without comorbidities undergoing aerobic, resistance, and/or combined training compared to a control group (no exercise) will be eligible. We will use the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) tool to evaluate the quality of individual studies and GRADE to assess the strength of evidence. Statistical analyses will be conducted with RStudio for Windows (v1.3.959) using R package meta.
Discussion: A systematic review and meta-analysis involving data from studies of older adults would deepen our understanding of vascular adaptations to exercise training in this population. It could provide new insights into how health providers can improve patient management and prevention of cardiovascular events in older adults.

Effects of exercise on fatigue and quality of life in multiple sclerosis: a network meta-analysis and systematic review.
J Neurol

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of various physical therapy interventions on fatigue and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) using a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases through April 1, 2025. Eligible RCTs compared different exercise interventions in MS patients, focusing on fatigue and quality of life outcomes.
Optimal type and dose of exercise to improve glycated haemoglobin in individuals with type 1 diabetes: A systematic review and Bayesian dose-response network meta-analysis of RCTs.

Graduate School of Physical Education, Myongji University, Yongin, Republic of Korea.
Background: High levels of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are associated with high mortality and cardiovascular risk. Physical activity is an affordable intervention that is available to most people, but the type and amount of exercise to induce metabolic benefits in T1D are not known with certainty.
Objective: To determine the comparative effectiveness of diverse exercise modes and dosages to influence HbA1c in patients with T1D.

Stage IV prostate cancer (PCa) refers to a disease that has metastasized beyond the prostate gland to distant sites, such as bones, visceral organs, or non-regional lymph nodes. While early attempts at curative therapy were occasionally made in oligometastatic cases, current guidelines uniformly recommend palliative-intent management once true metastatic spread is confirmed. Over the past decade, treatment paradigms have shifted from androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) monotherapy to earlier intensification with combination regimens including chemo-hormonal therapy and next-generation hormonal agents to improve survival and quality of life (QoL).

The Wnt pathway is an evolutionarily conserved signaling cascade that regulates a wide range of fundamental cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, polarity, migration, metabolism, and survival. Due to its central regulatory roles, Wnt signaling is critically involved in the pathophysiology of numerous human diseases. Aberrant activation or insufficient inhibition of this pathway has been causally linked to cancer, degenerative disorders, metabolic syndromes, and developmental abnormalities.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of resistance exercise programs on older adults' physical and psychological health indicators. Twelve randomized controlled trials published in Korean between January 2000 and July 2024 were included in this meta-analysis. The subjects in the selected studies were all aged 65 and over.
