Article Abstract
The use of complementary, alternative and integrative medicine (CAIM) is highly prevalent among autistic individuals, with up to 90% reporting having used CAIM at least once in their lifetime. However, the evidence base for the effects of CAIM for autism remains uncertain. Here, to fill this gap, we conducted an umbrella review of meta-analyses exploring the effects of CAIM in autism across the lifespan and developed a web platform to disseminate the generated results. Five databases were searched (up to 31 December 2023) for systematic reviews with meta-analyses exploring the effects of CAIM in autism. Independent pairs of investigators identified eligible papers and extracted relevant data. Included meta-analyses were reestimated using a consistent statistical approach, and their methodological quality was assessed with AMSTAR-2. The certainty of evidence generated by each meta-analysis was appraised using an algorithmic version of the GRADE framework. This process led to the identification of 53 meta-analytic reports, enabling us to conduct 248 meta-analyses exploring the effects of 19 CAIMs in autism. We found no high-quality evidence to support the efficacy of any CAIM for core or associated symptoms of autism. Although several CAIMs showed promising results, they were supported by very low-quality evidence. The safety of CAIMs has rarely been evaluated, making it a crucial area for future research. To support evidence-based consideration of CAIM interventions for autism, we developed an interactive platform that facilitates access to and interpretation of the present results ( https://ebiact-database.com ).

Effect of age and sex on cardiac magnetic resonance native T1 mapping and synthetic extracellular volume.

Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) using native T1 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) fraction is the gold standard for noninvasive detection of diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Previous studies indicate that women tend to have higher native T1 and ECV values than men, but how these parameters evolve with cardiac aging remains unclear.
Methods And Results: Relations between age, sex, and native T1 and synthetic ECV were assessed in 306 individuals (mean age 45 ± 18 years; 47.

High-resolution images encapsulate abundant geographical information; however, precise semantic segmentation is essential for effective remote sensing image interpretation. Remote sensing semantic segmentation categorizes pixel-level image information into distinct land cover types, providing essential support for urban planning, resource management, and environmental monitoring. However, existing approaches encounter two major challenges: insufficient retention of fine-grained local details and suboptimal global contextual modeling, especially in intricate and high-resolution remote sensing scenarios.

This removes a vast majority of test results for reference interval estimation without considering the actual health status of the patient.
Methods: We introduce the Differential Distribution Method (DDM) which uses laboratory routine data coded with ICD-10 to approximate an underlying non-diseased age and sex stratified population from mixed clinical data.
Colchicine in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a double-blind randomized trial.

An inflammatory process may increase the risk of arrhythmias after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). In this single-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial we investigated the efficacy of colchicine to reduce a composite of new-onset atrial fibrillation or atrioventricular conduction disturbances requiring the implantation of a permanent pacemaker at 30 days after TAVR. Between September 21, 2021 and April 25, 2024, 120 patients with aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR (mean age 80.
