Understanding rotavirus prevalence by genotype can inform disease prevention and immunization decision-making. This systematic literature review summarized the genotype-specific prevalence of rotavirus in Asia from 2015 to 2021. We identified surveillance studies using PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases, and used proportional meta-analysis (with the generic inverse variance method with arcsine transformation and generalized linear mixed models) to summarize genotype prevalence by region. A total of 7,601 studies were screened, and 73 studies from 16 countries were included. Data from 19,935 rotavirus samples reveal that the most common rotavirus genotypes circulating in Asia from 2015 to 2021 were G3P[8] (24%; 95% CI: 19%, 30%), G9P[8] (11%; 95% CI: 7%, 16%), G1P[8] (11%; 95% CI: 8%, 14%) and G2P[4] (8%; 95% CI: 6%, 10%). The results are comparable to estimates from the pre-vaccine licensure period. Surveillance based on sequencing data could help detect more subtle changes and further characterize the rotavirus burden in Asia.

Introduction: While traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history and continues to be widely practised, its overall clinical efficacy according to conventional scientific standards remains the topic of ongoing research and exploration. This review focuses on the potential use of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) in combination with Western medicine in Singapore, based on recently published data on the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these TCM treatments.
Method: We collated and summarised 71 research papers published in the past decade, focusing on randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews and population-based cohort studies that had a total sample size (treatment and control arms) exceeding 60.

Background: In order to improve the outcomes of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), access to and quality of comprehensive acute and chronic care services in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) must be improved.
Objectives: To identify and summarise the characteristics of models of care for T1DM in children and adolescents in LMIC.
Search Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Index Medicus from inception to 11 December 2023 without restrictions.

Aim To identify non-pharmacological factors associated with ineffective blood pressure (BP) control among individuals with arterial hypertension (AH) in a Siberian urban population sample.Material and methods A considerable proportion of individuals with AH does not achieve BP goals. BP control is influenced by a number of non-drug determinants, including non-modifiable and multiple modifiable factors.

Aim: This study aimed to analyze the disease burden of carbon monoxide poisoning (COP) in China from 1990 to 2021 and to forecast future trends.
Methods: Data were retrieved from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021. The incidence, prevalence, mortality, and Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) and their corresponding Age-Standardized Rates (ASRs) were examined to assess the burden of COP in China from 1990 to 2021.

Background: Antituberculosis drugs can cause hypersensitivity reactions that interrupt treatment and increase morbidity. Early identification and management are essential to prevent complications and drug resistance.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of antituberculosis drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions over a 10-year period in a tertiary referral center.
