Article Abstract
Objectives: To systematically evaluate and synthesize the available evidence regarding whether physical exercise is effective on improving outcomes in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Study Design: There were altogether 10 databases adopted for retrieving systematic reviews till March 2024. The Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews II (AMSTAR-II) statement and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system were employed for assessing, summarizing, and grading the evidence. Study duplication was measured by the corrected covered area.
Results: There were 10 studies enrolled, and they had poor level of evidence and overall methodological quality, among which, eight had extremely low methodological quality, whereas two reviews had low methodological quality. We then assessed the evidence quality of 41 primary outcome measures; as a result, 17, 14, and 10 pieces of evidence were rated as moderate, low, and critically low quality separately.
Conclusions: Physical exercise benefits HSCT patients by improving quality of life and reducing fatigue. Evidence quality is moderate to critically low, requiring cautious interpretation.
Implications For Nursing Practice: Physical exercise helps to reduce fatigue, improving quality of life, and should be included in the standard of care for patients undergoing HSCT.

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.

Latent profile analysis (LPA) is in the finite mixture model analysis family and identifies subgroups by participants' responses to continuous variables (i.e., indicators); participants' probable membership in each subgroup is based on the similarity between the subgroup's prototypical responses and the person's unique responses.

Purpose Of Review: Patients living with cancer are at risk for significant potential cardiovascular complications as a direct result of cancer treatment or due to underlying comorbid cardiovascular disease. This article reviews the methods of risk stratification as well as pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to cardioprotection in cardio-oncology.
Recent Findings: Several cancer-specific risk stratification tools have incorporated variables such as age, sex, cancer subtype, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and cancer treatment-related parameters to assess cardiovascular specific risk prior to cancer therapy.

Background: Sports medicine physicians, like pediatricians and family physicians, are among the professionals who have the opportunity to assess healthy adolescents and conduct pre-participation evaluations. They can play a critical role in the early diagnosis of scoliosis and in ensuring that patients remain physically active and participate in sports activities. This study aims to evaluate the frequency of scoliosis assessment and the knowledge of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) among sports medicine physicians in Türkiye.
