Article Abstract
This overview was to understand the impact of virtual reality (VR) on upper-extremity function in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). A systematic literature search was conducted using electronic databases (e.g. PubMed, Web of Science) and a manual search of the reference lists of each article. The quality of meta-analysis, average effect size, heterogeneity, and moderators were extracted and evaluated. Thirteen meta-analyses were included, with only one review (7.7%) rated High and the rest rated Critical Low (53.8%) or Low (38.5%). Immediate post-VR effect ranged from medium to large effect with an average effect of 0.69: VR showed a large effect of arm function (0.81) but a small effect of hand function (0.43). Short-term VR effect was inconsistent. Most meta-analyses showed moderate to substantial heterogeneity. VR seems to be a viable intervention to improve arm function, but further studies with vigorous design are needed.

Ultrasonographic assessment of bypass capacity after revascularization surgery in moyamoya disease: a systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis.
Acta Neurochir (Wien)

Department of Neurosurgery, Medical University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk, Poland.
Purpose: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic cerebrovascular disorder characterized by progressive arterial stenosis and fragile collateral formation, elevating stroke risk. Revascularization is the standard treatment, yet up to 27% of patients experience ischemic events within a year due to bypass insufficiency. While digital subtraction angiography (DSA) remains the gold standard for assessing bypass function, it is invasive and time-consuming.

Background: Enucleation has the advantages of preserving function and avoiding pancreaticoduodenectomy for benign and low-grade malignant neoplasms in the pancreatic head. However, laparoscopic enucleation (LEn) of pancreatic head tumors remains challenging in terms of bleeding control and duct integrity preservation because of the complicated blood supply to the pancreatic head and the adjacent relationships of lesions with the main pancreatic duct (MPD), especially for deep-seated or broad-based lesions. Here, we developed a novel dual-arterial occlusion technique to facilitate LEn of pancreatic head tumors and evaluated its feasibility and safety.

Supervised exercise therapy (SET) is a first-line treatment for patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, its impact on inflammation, as well as the relationship between inflammation and functional improvements, remain poorly understood. In this prospective, single-arm study, 51 patients with symptomatic PAD underwent a 12-week multimodal SET program.

Accurate three-dimensional localisation of ultrasonic bat calls is essential for advancing behavioural and ecological research. I present a comprehensive, open-source simulation framework-Array WAH-for designing, evaluating, and optimising microphone arrays tailored to bioacoustic tracking. The tool incorporates biologically realistic signal generation, frequency-dependent propagation, and advanced Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) localisation algorithms, enabling precise quantification of both positional and angular accuracy.

Background: One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has gained popularity as a bariatric operation due to its shorter operation time and lower perioperative complication rates, compared with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). However, OAGB is associated with short and long-term complications. Notably, in some reports a subset of patients developed liver dysfunction after OAGB, in some cases causing death or requiring liver transplantation.
