Only a few small-scale trials have been conducted to investigate stem cell therapy for non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of stem cell therapy for DCM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A comprehensive search of the databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane Library, and ProQuest was conducted from their inception to June 30, 2024, to access randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that were centered on stem cell therapy for DCM. The primary outcome was left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and the secondary outcomes included left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), 6-min walk test (6MWT), NYHA functional classification, quality of life (QoL) such as Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and VO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; peak. Moreover, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) were also recorded. The Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included RCTs, and the certainty of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE method. Sensitivity analysis was taken into consideration to determine the stability of the results. This review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024568912).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Eleven RCTs involving 637 participants were included in the quantitative analysis. The results indicated that there was a significant increase in mean LVEF (MD = 4.84, 95% CI 3.25-6.42, P &lt; 0.00001) and considerable decrease in LVEDV (MD = - 29.51, 95% CI - 58.07 to - 0.95, P = 0.04) and NT-proBNP (MD = - 737.55, 95% CI - 904.28 to - 570.82, P &lt; 0.00001) in DCM patients treated with stem cell therapy compared with controls. Stem cell therapy was also related to the improvement in functional capacity, as evaluated by 6MWT (MD = 44.32, 95% CI 34.70 - 53.94, P &lt; 0.00001) and NYHA functional classification (MD = - 0.63, 95% CI - 0.96 to - 0.30, P = 0.0002). It also had positive effects on improving QoL, including significantly decreasing MLHFQ score (MD = - 16.60, 95% CI - 26.57 to - 6.63, P = 0.001) and increasing the KCCQ score (MD = 14.76, 95% CI 7.76 - 21.76, P &lt; 0.0001). No significant differences were observed in LVEDD, VO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; peak, and MACEs between the two groups. The GRADE analysis revealed that the evidence was graded from low to moderate.

Several trials have assessed the efficacy of Ketorolac alone and in combination with other analgesics such as bupivacaine, morphine, epinephrine, paracetamol, and pregabalin. However, the effects and safety profile of ketorolac in these contexts remain controversial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ketorolac administration, both as a monotherapy and in combination with other analgesics, for managing postoperative pain in adults undergoing lumbar spinal surgery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;We searched PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, EBSCO, CNKI, WanFang, VIP, and Cochrane library databases through July 2024 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the analgesic efficacy of Ketorolac administration for postoperative pain of lumbar surgery. The meta-analysis was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statements. Data were extracted and analyzed using open-source meta-analysis software OpenMeta-Analyst, focusing on outcomes such as VAS pain scores, postoperative morphine requirements (PMR), length of hospital stay (LOS), and adverse effects, such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus, and constipation. The quality of evidence was assessed using the Jada scale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Thirteen RCTs comprising a total of 938 patients were included. The methodological quality of the studies was high, with three studies scoring 5, six studies scoring 4, and four studies scoring 3 on the Jadad scale. Ketorolac significantly reduced pain compared to controls at 0-6 h, with a mean difference (MD) of - 1.42 (95% CI: - 2.03 to - 0.80; P &lt; 0.0001), exceeding the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) of 1.2 to 2.0 points on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), indicating clinically meaningful pain relief. During the 6-12-h period, the pain reduction was significant (MD =  - 0.58; 95% CI: - 0.80 to - 0.35; P &lt; 0.0001), though below the MCID threshold. In the 12-24-h period, Ketorolac continued to show significant pain reduction (MD =  - 0.48; 95% CI: - 0.68 to - 0.28; P &lt; 0.0001), but this reduction was also below the MCID. Heterogeneity was low in the 12-24-h period (I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 13%), indicating consistent results across studies. There was a significant reduction in PMR (SMD =  - 1.83; 95% CI =  - 3.42 to - 0.23; P &lt; 0.0001), although with considerable heterogeneity among the studies (I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 93%, heterogeneity P &lt; 0.01). Ketorolac administration also significantly reduced the LOS compared to controls (MD =  - 0.45 days; 95% CI =  - 0.74 to - 0.16; P = 0.0001), though this reduction, which is less than a full day (0.45 days), may have limited clinical significance.

Despite the recognized benefits of PA as an essential component for combating non-communicable diseases and ensuring holistic development, there is a notable gap in understanding how to effectively integrate PA within the digital learning environments of full-time virtual schools. Current efforts to promote student PA are targeted for implementation exclusively in contexts characterized by physical school campuses that are bound to their surrounding local communities.
