Review Meta AnalysisThe influence of overweight and obesity on participation in cervical cancer screening: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide. The incidence of cervical cancer has decreased after implementation of cervical cancer screening, however, obese women have higher risk of cervical cancer than women of normal weight. This might be caused by a lower participation rate in cervical cancer screening. ⋯ In conclusion, obese women are less likely to participate in cervical cancers screening compared to women of normal weight. In addition, the likelihood of adherence to screening recommendations decreases with increasing obesity class. This stresses the need for targeted intervention to increase screening adherence for overweight and obese women.

Meta AnalysisRetrospective analysis of the application of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and meta-analysis.
After the stimulation of neurodermis, in the first stage, the relevant literature of each stage can be obtained through the relevant computer detection method. At the same time, also to the relevant database and scientific network research, and the influence of TENS tight comparison, the investigation is two years, using a series of score evaluation into the quality of the literature, in the process of inclusion if a certain funnel diagram analysis, the analysis results will be expressed according to the forest diagram, can get the final results in the review of many types of research, and then according to different types of research, delete the content of duplicate related reading topics. After reading the full text, if the content meets the inclusion criteria, it will show no significant difference between the effect of the control group and the pain effect of the experimental group, but the time of delivery is shorter than that of the control group, the pain intensity of TENS will decrease, thus shortening the labor time of each period.

ReviewCardiovascular health metrics in low and middle-income countries: A scoping review.
In 2010 the American Heart Association defined the concept of ideal cardiovascular health to renew the focus on primordial prevention for cardiovascular disease. Evidence primarily from high-income countries suggests ideal CVH prevalence is low and decreases with age, with vulnerable populations differentially affected. We aimed to identify and characterize the evidence relevant to CVH metrics in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). ⋯ We identified a substantial and heterogeneous body of research presenting CVH metrics in LMICs. Few studies assessed all components of CVH, especially in children and in low-income settings. This review will facilitate the design of future studies to bridge the evidence gap. This scoping review protocol was previously registered on OSF: https://osf.io/sajnh.

Randomized Controlled TrialComplex intervention to promote human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake in school settings: A cluster-randomized trial.
Using a cluster-randomized trial design, we aimed to evaluate a complex intervention to increase uptake of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in schools. The study was undertaken in high schools in Western Australia and South Australia between 2013 and 2015 with adolescents aged 12-13 years. Interventions included education, shared decision-making, and logistical strategies. ⋯ Contact for the HPV.edu study group: Cristyn. Davies@sydney.edu.au or Rachel. Skinner@sydney.edu.au.

Association of cancer information seeking behavior with cigarette smoking and E-cigarette use among U.S. adults by education attainment level: A multi-year cross-sectional analysis from a nationally representative sample in 2017-2020.
Little is known about the association of cancer information seeking behavior with cigarette smoking and e-cigarette use. A multi-year cross-sectional analysis using a pooled data of the Health Information National Trends Survey 5, Cycles 1-4 (2017-2020) was conducted. To examine the association of cancer information seeking behavior with current cigarette smoking (currently smoke every day/some days among individuals who smoked 100+ cigarettes in lifetime) and e-cigarette use (currently use every day/some days among lifetime users) in nationally representative U. ⋯ Cancer information seeking behavior might help to reduce cigarette smoking when seekers had ≥college education. However, cancer information seeking behavior might positively influence e-cigarette use in
