Are Ayurvedic herbs for diabetes effective?

Conclusion: There is heterogeneity in the available literature on Ayurvedic treatment for diabetes. Most studies test herbal therapy. Heterogeneity exists in the herbs and formulas tested (more than 44 different interventions identified) and in the method of their preparation. Despite these limitations, there are sufficient data for several herbs or herbal formulas to warrant further studies.

Tecnologías de la información y comunicación en la educación para la salud en el control del Aedes aegypti

Conclusion: Las TIC están cada vez más presentes en la sociedad y su uso en la educación para la salud para el control del Aedes aegypti muestra efectos prometedores en el conocimiento, índices entomológicos, calidad de materiales y aceptabilidad. Sin embargo, sólo se hallaron 12 artículos relevantes, lo que indica una brecha en el conocimiento que debe ser explorada. La alfabetización digital en salud es esencial para evitar desigualdades y se necesita más investigación para tomar decisiones basadas en evidencia en diversos contextos.

Herbal interventions for chronic asthma in adults and children: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Conclusion: Improvements in symptoms were not strongly supported by objective changes. Most trials were of small sample size, short duration, and poor methodology. Further adequately powered trials are needed to assess these compounds. Such trials should conform to CONSORT guidance, report standardised spirometry, and use validated symptom and severity scores. No recommendations for herbal treatment of asthma can be made from the current evidence.
