Meta Analysis
Effectiveness of e-learning to promote oral health education: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
In recent times during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, e-learning is increasingly being used to give oral health education. However, the efficacy of e-learning in improving and promoting the oral hygiene and oral health knowledge, attitude and practice is unclear. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aim to clarify the effectiveness of e-learning compared to other conventional education methods for providing oral health. ⋯ This paper could not indicate the effectiveness of e-learning in comparison with conventional education for oral health in total. However, for adults, it may be effective to get the oral health practice compared to the conventional education. Our study limitation is that there are only few studies that have assessed the effectiveness of e-learning. Therefore, numerous further high-quality studies should be conducted regarding the efficacy of e-learning compared with conventional education methods for oral health promotion.

Meta Analysis
Pediatric tuina for recurrent respiratory tract infection in children: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
To evaluate the effects and safety of pediatric tuina for recurrent respiratory tract infections (RRTIs). ⋯ Pediatric tuina has shown positive effects in RRTIs treatment. However, these results should be interpreted with caution owing to study quality. Further large-scale and high-quality randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm these findings.

Review Case Reports
Focal hemolymphangioma of the rectum: A case report and literature review.
Gastrointestinal hemolymphangiomas are very rare, especially in the rectum. Only 3 cases of rectal hemolymphangioma, all of which are diffuse lesions, have been reported in the English literature on PubMed. Our case is the first focal lesion of the rectum. It is important for radiologists to correctly identify the imaging features of rectal hemolymphangiomas. ⋯ Localized hemolymphangioma of the rectum is very rare, and imaging examination is essential for the diagnosis and evaluation of the extent of lesion invasion.

Review Case Reports
The diagnosis and treatment for primary cardiac angiosarcoma with N-ras gene mutation and MSI-L: A case report and review of the literature.
Primary cardiac angiosarcomas (PCA) is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. Currently, there is no standard treatment protocol for the PCA. We report a case of PCA in a 51-year-old woman. ⋯ This case report well demonstrates typical imaging findings of a rare cardiac angiosarcomas and emphasizes importance of early investigation for accurate diagnosis and proper management of the cardiac angiosarcomas.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the effectiveness of home-based tele-rehabilitation programs with hospital-based rehabilitation programs in improving pain and function at various time points (≤6 weeks, ≤14 weeks, and ≤ 52 weeks) following the initial total knee arthroplasty. ⋯ Home-based tele-rehabilitation and hospital-based rehabilitation programs showed comparable long-term outcomes in pain, mobility, physical function, and patient-reported health status after primary total knee arthroplasty. Considering the economic costs, home-based tele-rehabilitation programs are recommended as a viable alternative to hospital-based rehabilitation programs.
