Article Abstract
Background: The evidences of oxidative stress-related Plasmodium infection may alter the ceruloplasmin levels were inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to collate and synthesize literatures on malaria and ceruloplasmin concentrations.
Methods: The systematic review has been registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023454859). Six electronic databases were systematically searched for investigated ceruloplasmin levels in malaria: ProQuest, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Ovid, PubMed, and Scopus, from their inception to August 2023. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools for cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies. Qualitative synthesis was undertaken to summarize findings from the included studies. For quantitative synthesis, a meta-analysis was performed using random-effects models.
Results: A total of 411 articles were retrieved, and nine studies were included in the review. The majority of included studies found significantly increased ceruloplasmin levels in malaria patients compared to uninfected controls. The meta-analysis showed a significant increase of ceruloplasmin in patients with malaria as compared to uninfected controls (P < 0.01, Hedge's g 1.18, 95% CI 0.90-1.47, I 59.19%, eight studies).
Conclusion: The systematic review and meta-analysis consistently revealed a significant rise in ceruloplasmin levels among malaria patients. Further research is essential to understand the variations in ceruloplasmin levels between different Plasmodium species and the severity of malaria in patients.

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

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.
