Female farmers commonly experience musculoskeletal pain in the back, knee, and shoulder. Despite their obvious advantages in reducing musculoskeletal pain, face-to-face exercise programs are limited by geographical and physical barriers. Thus, we decided to introduce eHealth technology to farmers' musculoskeletal health care. Using a mobile application (app), we aim to provide a tailored self-exercise program for shoulder, knee, and back pain in female farmers in rural areas after a musculoskeletal health check-up. ⋯ This will be the first attempt to compare methods using booklets and apps to identify effective ways of providing personalized self-exercise programs according to musculoskeletal health stages by evaluating female farmers (MODE-I). This will help clarify whether the mobile app is effective for self-exercise compared to a conventional booklet. The MODE-II study will help to assess the effect of providing feedback through the mobile app. Finally, we will evaluate musculoskeletal health according to the degree of participation over 12 months to confirm the effect of self-exercise. Our study should aid in managing musculoskeletal health for farmers living in rural areas and help promote health in the "untact" era.

Breast-cancer related lymphedema (BCRL) is a common condition among breast cancer survivors that could impact the quality of life (QoL) of patients. Exploring the QoL of the patients with BCRL using valid and reliable QoL is crucial to capture the status of this important aspect hence appropriate intervention could be implement to patient. However, so far no scientific review is available, which reports the psychometric properties of the QoL questionnaires used in BCRL. The purpose of this systematic review is to comprehensively assess the psychometric properties of QoL questionnaires in patients with BCRL. ⋯ OSF osf.io/8xwym.

Diabetic nephropathy is a frequent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus that causes end-stage renal disease most of the time. In China, Shenkang injection is one of widely used traditional Chinese medicine for treating chronic kidney disease, but its efficacy and safety have not yet been clarified. We will systematically review the current randomized controlled trial (RCT) evidence to summarize the efficacy and safety of Shenkang injection in treating diabetic nephropathy. ⋯ INPLASY2020110014.

Bronchial asthma (BA) is a chronic airway inflammatory disease with reversible airflow limitation as the main clinical manifestations, such as wheezing, cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, etc, mediated by a variety of inflammatory cells, which can be recurrent. Clinical can improve symptoms, but cannot be cured; glucocorticoid is the most important first-line medication. Clinical practice has shown that montelukast sodium combined with fluticasone in the treatment of adult BA can improve clinical efficacy and reduce adverse reactions. The purpose of this study is to systematically study the efficacy and safety of montelukast sodium combined with fluticasone in the treatment of adult BA. ⋯ DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/CKQFM.
