A systematic review and meta-analysis of efficacy of vasopressin as a vasoconstrictive and uterotonic drug in laparoscopic myomectomy.

Introduction: Laparoscopic myomectomy is a commonly performed operation with fast recovery and excellent results. However, haemorrhagic nature of the operation mandates us to use variety of vasoconstrictive and uterotonic agents. Amongst which, one of them is vasopressin.

Combined inhibition of histone methyltransferases EZH2 and DOT1L is an effective therapy for neuroblastoma.

Background: The child cancer, neuroblastoma (NB), is characterised by a low incidence of mutations and strong oncogenic embryonal driver signals. Many new targeted epigenetic modifier drugs have failed in human trials as monotherapy.

Methods: We performed a high-throughput, combination chromatin-modifier drug screen against NB cells.

Delirium in Lower Limb Trauma: The Incidence and Risk Factors in a Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Delirium poses a significant challenge in musculoskeletal trauma patients, particularly the elderly, contributing to elevated morbidity and mortality. Despite unclear pathogenesis, various risk factors have been identified. This prospective observational study, conducted in a tertiary center, aims to estimate delirium incidence and identify associated risk factors in adult patients undergoing lower limb trauma surgeries.

Zygoma Implant-Based Rehabilitation of Three Patients with Primary Failure of Eruption of Teeth and a 5-Year Follow-up: A Case Series.

Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is a rare, nonsyndromic condition in which non-ankylosed teeth fail to erupt either fully or partially due to malfunction of the eruption mechanism. Three young patients are presented in this article with features consistent with a diagnosis of PFE. The features of this condition are described together with different modalities of treatment planning for such patients.

Comparison of two popular transducers to measure sit-to-stand power in older adults.

The Tendo Unit (TU) and GymAware (GA) are the two most frequently used linear transducers for assessing muscle power in older adults via the sit-to-stand (STS) test. Unlike TU, GA incorporates a sensor mechanism to correct for non-vertical movements, which may lead to systematic differences between devices. The aim of this study therefore was to compare GA to TU for measuring STS power in community-dwelling older adults.
