animals used (i.e., species/strain, sex, and age/weight). Most of the papers surveyed did not report using randomisation (87%) or blinding (86%) to reduce bias in animal selection and outcome assessment. Only 70% of the publications that used statistical methods fully described them and presented the results with a measure of precision or variability [5]. These findings are a cause for concern and are consistent with reviews of many research areas, including clinical studies, published in recent years [2–22].

CONSORT 2010 Statement: Updated Guidelines for Reporting Parallel Group Randomised Trials

Background
Physical therapy (PT) is one of the key disciplines in interdisciplinary stroke rehabilitation. The aim of this systematic review was to provide an update of the evidence for stroke rehabilitation interventions in the domain of PT.

PRISMA for Abstracts: Reporting Systematic Reviews in Journal and Conference Abstracts

In the last decade glycan microarrays have revolutionized the analysis of the specificity of glycan binding proteins, providing information that simultaneously illuminates the biology mediated by them and decodes the information content of the glycome. Numerous methods have emerged for arraying glycans in a ‘chip’ format, and glycan libraries have been assembled that address the diversity of the human glycome. Such arrays have been successfully used for analysis of glycan binding proteins that mediate mammalian biology, host-pathogen interactions, immune recognition of glycans relevant to vaccine production and cancer antigens. This review covers the development of glycan microarrays and applications that have provided insights into the roles of mammalian and microbial glycan binding proteins.

Glycan Microarrays for Decoding the Glycome

1993年，30位医学期刊编辑和临床试验专家在加拿大开会制定了一套建议——CONSORT声明。CONSORT即Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials（临床试验报告统一标准），是CONSORT小组拟定的一系列建议标准，用以改善RCT报告款项参差不齐产生的问题，指导作者提高其临床试验报告质量，读者、审稿人和编辑可以利用CONSORT声明来帮助评估和解释RCT报告。
