Optimal exercise interventions for enhancing cognitive function in older adults: a network meta-analysis by Han Han, Jinhao Zhang, Fan Zhang, Fanghui Li, Zhijian Wu

“…Background: Cognitive decline poses a significant challenge to healthy aging. While exercise is widely recognized for its cognitive benefits, the comparative efficacy of different exercise modalities and optimal intervention protocols for specific cognitive domains in older adults remains unclear.Objective: This network meta-analysis aimed to systematically compare the effects of five exercise modalities—resistance training, aerobic exercise, mind-body exercise, multicomponent exercise, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—on global cognitive function and major cognitive domains in cognitively healthy older adults, and to identify optimal intervention protocols and population subgroups most likely to benefit.Methods: A total of 58 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, encompassing 4,349 healthy older adults from diverse geographical regions. …”

Optimizing Timing and Preparation for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes by Geng L, Chen E, Ji Y, Liu H, Sun Z

“…Early HSCT emerged as the only significant factor influencing both OS (Hazard Ratio [HR] 2.84, p = 0.01) and TRM (HR 3.21, p = 0.01). While no significant differences were noted between sibling HSCT and unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) for OS and TRM, UCBT demonstrated a lower incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) (19.0% vs 52.9%, p = 0.003).Discussion: Our findings suggest early allo-HSCT may optimize outcomes in higher-risk MDS. …”
