Currently, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is presently a recognized treatment modality for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are often old, disabled, frail, and have low exercise capacity (ExCap). It is further expected from this therapy to improve quality of life by improving of the cardio function performance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on patients after TAVI. ⋯ Our analysis indicated that exercise-based CR programmers had significant effect on patients after TAVI in improving exercise tolerance and functional independence.

Traditional Chinese Medicine for non-motor symptoms in Parkinson disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs.
Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, which has impacts on the patient's quality of life due to non-motor symptoms such as sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has gained increasing attention in the diagnosis and treatment of PD with the concept of "overall concepts and dialectical treatment." Therefore, exploring the characteristics of TCM in the treatment of PD can improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of PD. ⋯ TCM is effective and safety for improvement of depression, anxiety, autonomic dysfunctions, and quality of life in PD. Zishen Pingchan granules was particularly effective for depression; and Pingchan granules was particularly effective for quality of life.

Sarcopenia is an age-related degenerative disease associated with adverse outcomes such as falls, functional decline, weakness, and mortality. Exploring the dynamic evolutionary path and patterns of sarcopenia research topics within a temporal framework from the perspective of strategic coordinate maps and data flow can help identify the development rules of sarcopenia themes. After searching, a total of 16,326 articles were obtained. ⋯ The differentiation and fusion of the theme evolution path are obvious, and the theme inheritance index is high. The development trend of this research field is promising. The mature and stable professional topics such as "RESISTANCE EXERCISE" and "SURVIVAL" that appeared in the late stage belong to the core topics, while newly emerging topics like "FRACTURES" and "PROTEIN" belong to the marginal topics, indicating that the research on muscle and bone metabolism in the field of sarcopenia has yet to be further in-depth, and the "CANCER" topic is a highly promising research topic with strong development potential.

Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) can occur in all segments of the gastrointestinal tract, but rectal is very rare. In recent years, rectal HGM is more often treated by endoscopic resection (ER). ⋯ Rectal HGM has acid secretion function and HP can be colonized, causing a variety of symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloody stool, and anal pain and has the potential risk of malignant transformation; resection is the best treatment method, and ESD has its unique advantages and can be promoted in the clinic.

Chronic Primary Pelvic Pain Syndrome in Men—Differential Diagnostic Evaluation and Treatment.
Chronic primary pelvic pain syndrome in men (CPPPSm) can be associated with urogenital pain, urinary symptoms, sexual dysfunction, and emotional disturbance. Its clinical heterogeneity and incompletely understood pathogenesis make it more difficult to treat. This article is intended to familiarize the reader with basic aspects of the manifestations, pathophysiology, diagnostic evaluation, differential diagnosis, and treatment of this condition. ⋯ The management of patients with CPPPSm should consist of a comprehensive differential diagnostic evaluation and an individually oriented treatment strategy.
