Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. Modified posterior shoulder stretching exercises have been proposed as a treatment method aimed at improving shoulder function and reducing pain in patients with SIS. However, the efficacy of these exercises remains controversial, necessitating a systematic meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate their effectiveness. ⋯ Modified posterior shoulder stretching exercises are significantly effective in improving shoulder function and reducing pain in patients with SIS, with the study results showing high robustness and low risk of bias. However, further high-quality research is needed to validate these findings.

Residents' willingness and awareness to participate in internet+nursing service in China: A meta-analysis.
The internet + nursing service is an important initiative for implementing the strategy of healthy China and actively responding to the aging of the population. However, the current literature on residents' awareness and willingness to participate is insufficient and presents large variations and limitations. Therefore, this study aims to systematically evaluate the awareness and willingness of Chinese residents to participate in internet + nursing service to comprehensively understand the level of awareness and acceptance of this emerging service model among Chinese residents and to provide strong support for relevant policy formulation and service optimization. ⋯ The willingness to participate in internet + nursing service among Chinese residents is high, but the awareness rate is low. It is necessary to improve the awareness and willingness of Chinese residents to use internet + nursing service through various channels and aspects of publicity and promotion to achieve the goal of innovating the health service model, accurately connecting with the diverse health needs of people, and actively responding to the aging population.

The effect of 4-phenylbutyrate and sodium 4-phenylbutyrate on genetic mutation diseases: A meta-analysis.
To determine the efficacy of 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PB) or sodium 4-phenylbutyrate (SPB) in treating diseases caused by genetic mutations. ⋯ 4-PB or SPB can be used to treat genetic diseases. However, they must be validated in high-quality randomized controlled trials before clinical use.

Pulse pressure variation (PPV) is limited in low tidal volume mechanical ventilation. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate whether passive leg raising (PLR)-induced changes in PPV can reliably predict preload/fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients with low tidal volume in the intensive care unit. ⋯ PLR-induced change in absolute PPV has good diagnostic performance in predicting preload/fluid responsiveness in ICU patients on mechanical ventilation with low tidal volume. Trial registration PROSPERO (CRD42024496901). Registered on 15 January 2024.
