Nutritional interventions for preventing and treating pressure ulcers
The Cochrane database of systematic reviews (2024) · Meta analysis · n=7920
Compared to standard diet, protein supplements may result in little to no difference in pressure ulcer incidence (protein 21 per 1000, standard diet 28 per 1000; RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.49 to 1.14; 4 studies, 4264 participants; low-certainty evidence).

Tremella polysaccharide: The molecular mechanisms of its drug action
Progress in molecular biology and translational science (2019) · Systematic review
In this chapter, 113 independent studies involving in biochemical, pharmacological, and clinical studies of TFPS during the past 46 years (1972-2018) on the base of PubMed, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and Wanfang database search are summarized.
Based on meta-analysis showing mean reductions of 5.39 mmHg systolic and 2.66 mmHg diastolic. Effects are modest and may not be clinically significant for all individuals. GI side effects increase notably above 6g.
Based on 2 RCTs showing improvements in memory and response times. One study used snow fungus in combination with other ingredients, limiting specificity to Tremella alone. Adverse event rates were similar across groups (35-41%).
AI-estimated from published studies. Interpret as directional guidance.
