Propolis mouthwashes efficacy in managing gingivitis and periodontitis: a systematic review of the latest findings by Muhammed Al-Huda Ballouk, Mohamed Altinawi, Abeer Al-Kafri, Talar S. Zeitounlouian, Piotr S. Fudalej

“…Abstract Background and objectives Gingivitis and periodontitis are common periodontal diseases that can significantly harm overall oral health, affecting the teeth and their supporting tissues, along with the surrounding anatomical structures, and if left untreated, leading to the total destruction of the alveolar bone and the connective tissues, tooth loss, and other more serious systemic health issues. Numerous studies have shown that propolis can help reduce gum inflammation, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and promote tissue regeneration, but with varying degrees of success reported. …”

The effectiveness of digital technology-based Otago Exercise Program on balance ability, muscle strength and fall efficacy in the elderly: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Zihao He, Hua Wu, Guanggao Zhao, Yiming Zhang, Chao Li, Yachen Xing, Anjie Xu, Junchao Yang, Ronghui Wang

“…Digital technologies used in the studies were categorized into three types: (1) online interventions (Zoom, WeChat), (2) recorded videos (via computers, TVs, DVDs), and (3) wearable technologies (motion sensors, augmented reality systems). The implementation of OEP based on digital technology showed significantly improved on static balance (SMD = 0.86, 95% CI 0.35–1.37), dynamic balance (SMD = 1.07, 95% CI 0.90–1.24), muscular strength (SMD = 0.43, 95% CI 0.17–0.69), and fall efficacy (SMD=-0.70, 95% CI -0.98, -0.41); Subgroup analysis by period ‘≥12 weeks’, frequency ‘≥3 times/week’, and duration ‘≤45 minutes per session’, respectively, showed significant improvements on static balance (SMD = 0.73, 95% CI 0.21–1.25; SMD = 0.86, 95% CI 0.35–1.37; SMD = 1.10, 95% CI 0.31–1.89), dynamic balance (SMD = 1.08, 95% CI 0.88–1.28; SMD = 1.01, 95% CI 0.93–1.27; SMD = 1.07, 95% CI 0.89–1.25), muscle strength (SMD = 0.43, 95% CI 0.10–0.75; SMD = 0.54, 95% CI 0.30–0.77; SMD = 0.53, 95% CI 0.19–0.87), and fall efficacy (SMD=-0.75, 95% CI -1.39, -0.11; SMD=-0.70, 95% CI -0.98, -0.41; SMD=-0.74, 95% CI -1.10, -0.39). …”
