Background: Yoga practices, focusing on mindfulness and meditation, have been found to positively impact cognitive function in older adults. These practices improve physical health, balance, flexibility, and cardiovascular function, while also promoting brain plasticity, neurogenesis, and stress-induced damage. The social aspect of yoga classes may also reduce isolation, thereby reducing cognitive decline. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of existing research on the effects of yoga on cognitive function in older adults. Method: This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, focusing solely on full-text articles published in English between 2014 and 2024. To ensure the inclusion of high-quality, peer-reviewed sources, editorial pieces and review articles lacking a DOI were excluded. A comprehensive literature search was carried out across several reputable databases, including ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, PubMed, and SagePub, to identify pertinent studies that met the inclusion criteria. Result: The initial database search yielded over 1,000 relevant publications on the topic. Following a rigorous three-stage screening process, eight studies met the predefined inclusion criteria and were selected for in-depth analysis. Each study underwent a comprehensive critical evaluation, enabling a thorough examination of the relationship between psoriasis and hypertension. This systematic approach ensured that the analysis was grounded in high-quality evidence, closely aligned with the study's objectives, and capable of providing meaningful insights into this complex association. Conclusion: Yoga has been found to have beneficial effects on cognitive function in older adults, although methodological limitations and inconsistencies in intervention design need further investigation. Further research is needed to determine the true efficacy of yoga in promoting cognitive health among this age group.

Introduction: Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is a serious complication in monochorionic twin pregnancies caused by unbalanced blood flow through placental vascular anastomoses. Fetoscopic laser surgery has become the primary intervention to improve survival and reduce neurological morbidity. Methods: This review synthesizes data from randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective cohort studies conducted over the last decade. Studies included patients undergoing fetoscopic laser surgery with follow-up periods ranging from weeks to years, assessing survival, neurological, and developmental outcomes. Results: Survival rates after fetal laser surgery range from mid-70% to mid-80%, with one trial reporting 67-68% survival without neurodevelopmental impairment at 2 years. Cerebral palsy incidence is low (1-2%), and cognitive or motor impairments occur in 2-8% of survivors. Comparisons between surgical techniques (Solomon vs. standard laser, sequential vs. selective coagulation) show similar survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Immediate surgery versus expectant management in early-stage TTTS showed no significant difference in 6-month survival without severe neurologic morbidity (78% vs. 77%). Laser surgery reduces severe cerebral injury compared to no treatment (5% vs. 18%). Discussion: While fetal surgery improves survival and neurological outcomes, challenges such as preterm birth and growth discordance remain. Adjunctive therapies and long-term neurodevelopmental monitoring are essential to optimize care. Conclusion: Fetoscopic laser surgery is effective in managing TTTS, offering improved survival and reduced neurological morbidity. Continued research is needed to refine techniques and adjunctive treatments

Introduction: Uterine cancer is a significant health concern, especially among women aged 35-65 years. Intrauterine devices (IUDs), including hormonal levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine systems (LNG-IUS) and copper IUDs (Cu-IUD), are widely used for contraception and have been investigated for their potential role in reducing uterine cancer risk. Methods: A comprehensive review of studies published in the last decade was conducted, focusing on the association between long-term IUD use and uterine cancer risk in women aged 35-65. Studies included randomized controlled trials, prospective and retrospective cohorts, with follow-up durations ranging from six months to over ten years. Results: Evidence indicates that long-term use of both LNG-IUS and Cu-IUD is associated with a reduced risk of uterine cancer and its precursor lesions. LNG-IUS demonstrated superior efficacy compared to oral progestogens in treating atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) and reducing cancer recurrence. Cu-IUD use was also linked to lower risks of endometrial and cervical cancers. Adverse events were generally mild, with weight gain being the most common side effect, and device-related complications such as expulsion and perforation were rare. Discussion: The protective effects of LNG-IUS are attributed to localized progestin release causing endometrial atrophy, while Cu-IUDs may exert effects through local inflammatory mechanisms. Despite promising findings, age-stratified data remain limited, and further long-term studies are needed. Conclusion: Long-term use of LNG-IUS and Cu-IUD offers effective contraception and a favorable reduction in uterine cancer risk with a good safety profile, supporting their role in preventive strategies for women aged 35-65.

Background: Geriatric syndromes and frailty are major public health concerns associated with adverse health outcomes in aging populations worldwide. Frailty is a multifactorial condition characterized by increased vulnerability to stressors, leading to higher risks of morbidity, functional decline, hospitalization, and mortality. Objective: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of frailty in older adults, as well as the effectiveness of various interventions in mitigating its impact. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted across major databases to identify studies assessing frailty and geriatric syndromes. Studies were screened based on predefined eligibility criteria, and data were extracted for pooled analysis. Results: The findings indicate that frailty prevalence varies widely across different populations and is strongly associated with advanced age, comorbidities, malnutrition, and sedentary lifestyles. The pooled odds ratio for frailty versus robustness was 0.17 (95% CI: 0.16–0.18, p < 0.00001), indicating a strong negative association, with frail individuals being significantly more vulnerable to adverse health outcomes. However, substantial heterogeneity was observed across studies (I² = 100%), likely due to variations in frailty assessment tools, study populations, and geographic settings. Frailty prevalence ranged from 9.4% in rural Malaysia to 47.1% in Botswana, reflecting socioeconomic and healthcare disparities. Common risk factors included advanced age, female gender, chronic diseases, physical inactivity, and malnutrition. Conclusion: Addressing geriatric syndromes and frailty requires a holistic, multidisciplinary approach integrating early detection, prevention, and individualized interventions. Public health strategies and policy reforms should prioritize frailty screening, community-based support, and interdisciplinary care coordination to enhance the well-being of older adults and alleviate the burden on healthcare systems. Future research should focus on optimizing frailty management strategies and evaluating long-term outcomes in diverse populations.

Introduction: The global aging population has led to an increased prevalence of multiple geriatric syndromes such as frailty, multimorbidity, cognitive impairment, and functional decline. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is a multidimensional, multidisciplinary diagnostic process designed to evaluate medical, psychological, and functional capabilities of older adults to develop coordinated treatment and follow-up plans. CGA aims to improve functional status, quality of life (QoL), and reduce adverse outcomes like falls and hospital readmissions. Methods: This systematic review analyzed studies involving older adults aged 65 years and above, focusing on CGA interventions compared to standard care. Data were extracted from randomized controlled trials and observational studies conducted in various healthcare settings including hospitals, community, and ambulatory units. Functional status and QoL outcomes were assessed using validated tools such as the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and EQ-5D. Results: CGA interventions demonstrated significant improvements in physical function, with SPPB scores increasing by up to 3.18 points at six months post-intervention. Quality of life measures also showed positive changes in both physical and mental health domains. Secondary outcomes included reductions in falls, frailty scores, and improvements in nutritional status and depressive symptoms. Discussion: The evidence supports CGA as an effective approach to managing complex health needs in older adults. Despite resource requirements, CGA offers long-term benefits by enhancing functional independence and overall well-being. Integration of tele-rehabilitation and digital monitoring may further improve accessibility and efficiency. Conclusion: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment significantly improves functional status and quality of life in elderly populations. Continued efforts to standardize CGA protocols and train multidisciplinary teams are essential to maximize its global impact.

Introduction: This review investigates the comparative effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) versus medical treatments in improving sexual function among adult women diagnosed with sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunctions studied include provoked vestibulodynia (PVD), hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), vaginismus, and related conditions. Methods: Fifteen studies, primarily randomized clinical trials, were analyzed. Interventions included various forms of CBT (couple-based, group-based, mindfulness-based) and medical treatments such as lidocaine, sildenafil, bupropion, and topical steroids. Outcomes measured were sexual function, pain, sexual satisfaction, psychological distress, and relational factors. Results: CBT consistently showed significant improvements in sexual function, psychological well-being, and relationship satisfaction. For example, one study reported a 66% improvement in sexual performance after 12 weeks of CBT, and another showed an 18-point increase in sexual function scores at six months follow-up. Medical treatments provided rapid relief of physiological symptoms like pain and lubrication deficits, with effect sizes sometimes comparable to CBT. However, CBT was more effective in addressing psychological and relational aspects. Discussion: CBT’s holistic approach addresses both physiological and psychological factors, offering longer-lasting benefits and skill development for patients. Medical treatments are advantageous for quick symptom relief and ease of administration. Combined approaches may optimize outcomes. Conclusion: Both CBT and medical treatments are effective, but CBT offers broader and potentially more durable improvements in sexual health. Treatment choice should be individualized based on patient needs and dysfunction type.

Introduction: Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD) comprises a group of disorders characterized by abnormal trophoblastic proliferation, including hydatidiform mole and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). Vitamin A, known for its role in cellular differentiation and immune modulation, has been studied for its potential association with GTD risk and treatment outcomes. Methods: A systematic review of recent studies was conducted, focusing on serum vitamin A levels in GTD patients and the effects of vitamin A supplementation on treatment response. Included studies ranged from cross-sectional analyses to randomized controlled trials involving human subjects diagnosed with various GTD subtypes. Results: Ferraz et al. (2020) reported normal serum vitamin A levels (0.3–0.7 mg/dL) in patients with complete hydatidiform mole, indicating no association between low vitamin A levels and GTD risk. Conversely, Hidayat et al. (2020) demonstrated that vitamin A supplementation (6,000 IU/day) combined with methotrexate chemotherapy in low-risk GTN patients led to a more rapid decline in beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels and reduced chemotherapy resistance compared to chemotherapy alone. Discussion: While low serum vitamin A does not appear to predispose to GTD, supplementation may enhance chemotherapy efficacy, possibly through antioxidant and immunomodulatory mechanisms. However, limited sample sizes and study heterogeneity warrant further research. Conclusion: Vitamin A supplementation shows promise as an adjunct therapy in GTD treatment, improving outcomes in select patients, though it is not linked to disease risk. Larger, controlled studies are needed to confirm these findings

Introduction: Polypharmacy, defined as the concurrent use of five or more medications, is prevalent among older adults with multiple chronic conditions, increasing the risk of adverse drug events and diminished quality of life. Addressing these risks through effective medication management has become a critical healthcare priority. Methods: This systematic review evaluated 40 studies, primarily randomized controlled trials (RCTs), focusing on medication management interventions such as structured medication reviews, deprescribing protocols, and electronic decision support systems. The inclusion criteria targeted older adults aged 65 years and above, taking five or more medications. Results: The review revealed that medication management interventions significantly reduced the number of medications and potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). Notably, 10 out of 14 studies reported a decrease in medication counts, and 5 out of 8 studies showed reductions in PIMs. Clinical benefits included improved quality-adjusted life years and fewer hospital admissions. Discussion: A multidisciplinary approach, involving pharmacists, physicians, and nurses, was essential for the success of these interventions. The integration of technology and patient-centered strategies enhanced medication adherence and safety. However, challenges such as time constraints and resource intensity hindered broader implementation. Conclusion: Medication management interventions effectively reduce polypharmacy-related risks in older adults. Continued focus on multidisciplinary collaboration, technology integration, and addressing implementation barriers is crucial for optimizing medication safety and health outcomes.

Introduction: Frailty and delirium are common and interrelated conditions affecting older adults, especially those undergoing hospitalization or surgery. Early screening for frailty has been proposed as a strategy to identify vulnerable patients and implement preventive measures to reduce the incidence of delirium. Methods: This review analyzed interventional studies published within the last decade that assessed the impact of early frailty screening combined with individualized care plans on delirium prevention in older adults. Studies included randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental designs, and prospective interventions involving patients aged 65 years or older across various healthcare settings. Frailty screening tools and delirium assessment methods were evaluated alongside intervention timing and types. Results: Multiple studies demonstrated significant reductions in delirium incidence following early frailty screening and targeted interventions. For example, delirium rates decreased from 10.0% to 3.3% in vascular surgery patients after geriatric comanagement, and from 29.2% to 11.3% in colorectal surgery patients receiving comprehensive geriatric assessment. Interventions ranged from preoperative cognitive exercises and multimodal prehabilitation to in-hospital multidisciplinary care models. Some studies reported improved functional and cognitive outcomes, while a few noted no significant changes in longer-term results. Discussion: Early frailty screening enables proactive identification of at-risk older adults, facilitating the delivery of personalized, multidisciplinary interventions that effectively reduce delirium incidence. The timing of intervention—particularly preoperative assessments—plays a crucial role in optimizing outcomes. Multidisciplinary collaboration and individualized care plans are common success factors. However, challenges such as patient non-compliance, small sample sizes, and external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic may limit effectiveness in some contexts. Conclusion: Early screening for frailty combined with tailored, multidisciplinary care is an effective approach to delirium prevention in older adults. Continued research is needed to refine screening tools, intervention protocols, and implementation strategies to enhance patient outcomes and broaden applicability across healthcare settings.
