“…Other reviews of interventions to prevent childhood farm injuries concluded that there was insufficient evidence to draw firm conclusions on their effectiveness (25,26). Three other reviews on general farm safety interventions (�, 2�), and educational interventions (28) using less strict inclusion criteria than we used, also concluded that there was no evidence available.…”

Effectiveness of interventions in preventing injuriesObjectives This study reviewed the effectiveness of interventions in preventing occupational injuries among workers in agriculture.Methods Randomized controlled trials, controlled before-after studies, and interrupted time-series studies assessing interventions aimed at preventing injuries among workers in agriculture were considered. MEDLINE and five other databases were searched up to June 2006. Two authors independently assessed the eligibility of studies and the methodological quality of the ones included. Randomized controlled trials were combined in a meta-analysis. Interrupted time-series studies were reanalyzed to assess the immediate and progressive effect on injuries.Results Five randomized controlled trials and three interrupted time-series studies met the inclusion criteria.Six studies evaluated educational interventions and financial incentives, and two studies evaluated the effect of educational interventions and financial incentives, and two studies evaluated the effect of legislation. Three randomized controlled trials on educational interventions with �6�0 adult participants did Three randomized controlled trials on educational interventions with �6�0 adult participants did not indicate any injury-reducing effect, with a rate ratio of 1.02 (95% confidence interval 0.8�-1.20), nor did two randomized controlled trials among children (6895 participants). Financial incentives decreased the injury level immediately after the intervention in one interrupted time-series study. Banning endosulfan pesticide in Sri Lanka led to a significant decrease in the trend of poisonings over time. Legislation requiring rollover protective structures on all tractors in Sweden did not produce a reduction in injuries, but the same requirement for new tractors was associated with a decrease in fatal injuries. ConclusionsThe reviewed studies provided no evidence that educational interventions are effective in decreasing injury rates among agricultural workers. Financial incentives may be a better means of reducing injury rates. Banning highly toxic pesticides may be effective. Legislation on safety devices on tractors yielded contradictory results.Key terms data pooling; evaluation research; intervention study; occupational accident; preventive measure, randomized controlled trial; systematic review. 1This review was adapted from the original Cochrane Review, entitled �Interventions for �reventing Injuries in the �g-entitled �Interventions for �reventing Injuries in the �g-entitled �Interventions for �reventing Injuries in the �g-ricultural Industry", by RH� Rautiainen, MM Lehtola, LM Day, E Schonstein, J Suutarinen, S Salminen, and J �erbeek, Rautiainen, MM Lehtola, LM Day, E Schonstein, J Suutarinen, S Salminen, and J �erbeek, published in The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2008, Issue 1, �rt No: CD006398.

In lucid dreams the dreamer is aware of dreaming and often able to influence the ongoing dream content. Lucid dreaming is a learnable skill and a variety of techniques is suggested for lucid dreaming induction. This systematic review evaluated the evidence for the effectiveness of induction techniques. A comprehensive literature search was carried out in biomedical databases and specific resources. Thirty-five studies were included in the analysis (11 sleep laboratory and 24 field studies), of which 26 employed cognitive techniques, 11 external stimulation and one drug application. The methodological quality of the included studies was relatively low. None of the induction techniques were verified to induce lucid dreams reliably and consistently, although some of them look promising. On the basis of the reviewed studies, a taxonomy of lucid dream induction methods is presented. Several methodological issues pertaining to both studies reviewed and lucid dream induction research in general are discussed.

“…Within the Acute Exercise group, the Down and Black Tool scores ranged from 10 to 19 out of 27 (limited to moderate methodological strength). [46][47][48] The lone RCT 49 categorized within the Non-Acute Exercise group received a PEDro Scale score of six out of 10 (good methodological quality), 50 whereas the remaining studies ranged from 10 to 20 out of 27 on the Down and Black Scale (considered limited to moderate methodological quality). 46 Acute exercise techniques Fourteen papers investigated the vascular effects of a single acute exercise bout.…”

Study design: All randomized controlled trials, prospective cohort, case-controlled, pre-post studies and case reports that assessed exercise interventions, which influence arterial structure and function after spinal cord injury (SCI), were included. Objective: To review systematically the evidence for exercise as a therapy to alter arterial function in persons with SCI. Setting: Literature searches were conducted for appropriate articles using several electronic databases (e.g. MEDLINE, EMBASE). Methods: Three independent reviewers evaluated each investigation's quality, using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale for randomized controlled trials and Downs and Black Scale for all other studies. Results were tabulated and levels of evidence assigned. Results: A total of 283 studies were found through the systematic literature search. Upon review of the articles, 27 were included. The articles were separated into those investigating arterial benefits, resulting from either acute bouts of exercise or long-term exercise interventions. The ability of both acute and long-term exercise interventions to improve arterial structure and function in those with SCI was supported by limited to moderate methodological quality. Upper body wheeling is the most commonly examined exercise therapy for improving arterial function. It appears from the evidence that a variety of exercise interventions, including passive exercise, upper body wheeling, functional electrical stimulation and electrically stimulated resistance exercise, can improve arterial function in those living with SCI. Conclusions: Although the quality and volume of evidence is low, the literature supports exercise as a useful intervention technique for improving arterial function in those with SCI.
