Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is an acquired neuromuscular lesion and a common occurrence in patients who are critically ill. We will systematically summarize and incorporate the important risk factors and prevalence from previously published multivariate analyses for ICU-AW. ⋯ We hope that our research will contribute to clinicians and public decision making about the ICU-AW.

Tai Chi has been reported to be potentially effective for health and well-being of cancer survivors. It is worth to assess the effectiveness and safety of Tai Chi on immunological function in people with cancer. ⋯ Ethics approval is not required as this study will not involve patients. The results of this study will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication.

Rheumatoid arthritis has the characteristics of slow progression, long course, and repeated attacks. At present, western medicine commonly used in clinical practice not only reduces pain and improves symptoms, but also has more adverse reactions, affecting the health, and life of patients. In ancient China, Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu decoction was used by doctors to treat rheumatoid arthritis, with remarkable effect. In recent years, many clinical studies have also shown that Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu decoction has reliable effect in treating rheumatoid arthritis, but there is no evidence of evidence-based medicine. Therefore, this study aims to systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu decoction in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. ⋯ DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/RZY3V.

Osteoporosis is a clinically common metabolic disease, especially in postmenopausal women. Tai Chi might be beneficial in osteoporosis patients. This study will be performed to examine the effects of Tai Chi on bone mineral density of postmenopausal osteoporosis. ⋯ The conclusion of our systematic review will answer whether Tai Chi is an effective intervention to improve bone mineral density of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

The pathogenesis of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is not clear, but its occurrence is closely related to the immune state of the body, that is, the balance of T cell subsets. Previous studies have confirmed that the dynamic imbalance of Th1/Th2 cells in CD4+T cell subsets of T cell subsets is closely related to the pathogenesis of CSU, but there are few studies on the relationship between the dynamic imbalance of Th17/Treg cells in CD4+T cell subsets and the pathogenesis of CSU. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between Th17/Treg cells expression in peripheral blood and CSU, so as to provide a reference basis for the pathogenesis of CSU. ⋯ DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/S8MYW.
