Post operative pain associated with ProGrip mesh hernioplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Postoperative pain is a common complication following inguinal hernia repair. Progrip mesh is a self-adhesive mesh claimed to reduce postoperative pain compared to traditional mesh types. This meta-analysis aimed to compare postoperative pain, operative time, hospital stay, complications, and recurrence rates between Progrip mesh and other mesh types for inguinal hernia repair.

The evaluation of therapeutic outcomes of biologics in allergic fungal rhinosinusitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a localized inflammatory, hypersensitivity reaction affecting the nasal cavity and its sinuses secondary to fungal colonization. The burden of surgical revisions and recurrence rates in this disease led to a recent hypothesized advancement in the medical management being experimented, which is the use of biologics. Therefore, this systematic review analyzed nine articles to highlight the significance of biologics in the management of AFRS through a comprehensive strategy, as seen in Supplementary Methods Section (1-9).

Evaluation of cardiothoracic ratio as a potential predictor of cardiovascular abnormalities in individuals with type II diabetes mellitus: a case-control study.

Cardiovascular complications represent a significant health concern for individuals with diabetes mellitus. The relationship between diabetes and cardiovascular diseases is complex and multifaceted, involving a variety of pathophysiological mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of the cardiothoracic ratio as a prognostic tool for cardiovascular disorders in patients with diabetes.

Incidence and predictive factors of bleeding following tonsillectomy among pediatrics: A retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: To estimate the incidence of post tonsillectomy bleeding and to identify its predisposing factors among the pediatric population.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study included 1280 pediatric patients (18 years or younger) who underwent tonsillectomy at King Abdullah Specialized Children Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between 2019 and 2020. The study sample was divided into 2 groups based on the development of postoperative bleeding and were compared using Chi-square test and independent t-test.

Ceftazidime-avibactam use for the treatment of OXA-48- and/or New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing in cancer patients: a retrospective observational study.

Background: Infection is the second-leading cause of death among cancer patients, but there have been few studies on the effectiveness of novel antimicrobial agents to treat carbapenem-resistant in cancer patients.

Objective: Evaluate the mortality and clinical outcomes of ceftazi-dime-avibactam for OXA-48- and/or New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing infection in cancer patients.

Design: Retrospective observational cohort study.
