Abstract Heat thermotherapy (HT) is reported to promote cardiovascular (CV) and cardiometabolic health benefits. This systematic review and meta‐analysis (CRD42020193669) empirically investigated the efficacy of HT in improving CV and cardiometabolic parameters by assessing responses to single versus multiple HT bouts.

Abstract We investigated whether nocturnal oxygen therapy improves next‐day cerebrovascular function in lowlanders with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) staying at moderate altitude. This randomized, placebo‐controlled single‐blind crossover trial was performed in moderate‐to‐severe COPD patients [forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1 ...

Abstract Background and aims Endoscopic anti‐reflux therapies like anti‐reflux mucosectomy (ARMS) and anti‐reflux mucosal ablation have shown efficacy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in systematic reviews and meta‐analyses. Anti‐reflux mucoplasty (ARM‐P), a refinement of ARMS, incorporates immediate closure of the resection site to reduce ...

Comparison of the Usefulness of Covered and Uncovered Laser‐cut Metal Stents
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of laser‐cut self‐expandable metal stents (SEMS) and to compare the outcomes between covered and uncovered laser‐cut SEMS for malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO). Methods A multicenter retrospective analysis was conducted across eight Japanese university hospitals ...
