Polypharmacy and multiple diseases are common in geriatric practice; however, such kind of multiple interventions might result in adverse effects. Some previous studies have found the association of polypharmacy and Parkinson's disease, to confirm this relationship, we conducted a meta-analysis to analyze this issue quantitively. ⋯ In this study we have found an association between PD risk and polypharmacy, a better designed prospective long-term cohort study might be required for further discussion on this issue (Tab. 1, Fig. 5, Ref. 14).

Meta Analysis
Therapeutic effect of mesenchymal stem cell therapy in the LVEF, LVEDV, and LVESV after myocardial infarction.
The present study was aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular enddiastolic volume (LVEDV), and left ventricular endsystolic volume (LVESV) after myocardial infarction (MI). ⋯ The present systematic review indicated that cell therapy in patients, who have MI could be effective and applicable clinically (Tab. 3, Fig. 7, Ref. 48).
