Article Abstract
Background: Recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rhTM) is commonly used in Japan to treat disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), but its efficacy compared with other anticoagulants is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate this issue in DIC patients with hematological malignancies.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus for prospective and retrospective studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of rhTM in DIC patients with hematological malignancies between April 2008 and April 2023. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating recovery from DIC, hemorrhagic adverse events (AEs), and overall survival (OS).
Results: We analyzed one prospective (64 patients) and seven retrospective studies (209 patients). Use of rhTM was associated with a higher rate of recovery from DIC (OR: 2.25 [1.09-4.63] and 1.98 [1.12-3.50] in prospective and retrospective studies, respectively; same order below) and fewer hemorrhagic AEs (OR: 0.83 [0.30-2.30] and 0.21 [0.08-0.57]). rhTM did not improve OS (OR: 1.06 [0.42-2.66] and 1.72 [0.87-3.39]), although the incidence of hemorrhagic death was lower in the rhTM group (0 of 94 patients).
Conclusion: Use of rhTM in patients with hematological malignancy-associated DIC is strongly expected to be effective and safe.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) causes pain and diminishes quality of life. Backward walking exercise (BWE) has been shown to improve lower muscle strength and reduce knee adduction moment, making it a recommended intervention for knee OA rehabilitation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of BWE combined with conventional rehabilitation programs on pain intensity and disability among individuals with knee OA.

Background: Migraine care is often suboptimal owing to undertreatment, variation in clinical outcomes and administration methods among existing treatments, and between- and within-individual heterogeneity in the clinical course of migraine. In response to these challenges, preference studies have been increasingly conducted to inform treatment decision-making and development. However, gaps remain in understanding how treatment preferences have been assessed across different migraine studies.

Purpose: This systematic review provides a critical evaluation, synthesis of the existing literature on isotretinoin's effects on craniomaxillofacial bone.
Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO, the review was conducted in August 2024 across various databases. Eligible in vivo studies were analysed for their assessment of isotretinoin's effects on craniomaxillofacial bone.
The nature of fatigue in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Acta Neurol Belg

Neuroscience Research Australia, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.
Objectives: Patients diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) typically describe symptoms of fatigue. Despite this frequency, the underlying mechanisms of fatigue are poorly understood, and are likely multifactorial. To help clarify mechanisms, the present systematic review was undertaken to determine the risk factors related to fatigue in ALS.

Myocarditis is an inflammation of heart tissue. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has emerged as an important non-invasive imaging tool for diagnosing myocarditis, however, interpretation remains a challenge for novice physicians. Advancements in machine learning (ML) models have further improved diagnostic accuracy, demonstrating good performance.
