Influence of exercise interventions on functional movement screen scores in athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Ali Asghar Maleki, Seyed Hamed Mousavi, Mohamad Ali Biabangard, Hooman Minoonejad

“…We conducted comprehensive searches of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase (through May 2025) to identify experimental studies reporting pre–post changes in FMS after structured exercise interventions. Two reviewers independently screened and extracted data, assessed study quality using the PEDro scale and ROBINS-I tool, rated evidence certainty via GRADE, and then performed random-effects meta-analyses in RevMan 5.4 to calculate pooled mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). …”

The neural signature of high myopia: structural and functional brain alterations and their cognitive-emotional associations by Xuan Li, Kuan Zhao, Kuan Zhao, Kuan Zhao, Boling Deng, Boling Deng, Boling Deng, Zhengzheng Wu, Zhengzheng Wu, Zhengzheng Wu, Ling Wei, Ling Wei, Ling Wei

“…Beyond refractive error, myopia is increasingly recognized as a systemic condition with neurological implications, associated with visual dysfunction and structural retinal–choroidal alterations. This review synthesizes neuroimaging evidence demonstrating widespread neuroanatomical and functional brain changes in myopia, including cortical thinning, white matter disorganization, and disrupted functional connectivity, which may be associated with changes in cognitive-emotional systems rather than just the visual system. …”
