Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown very promising results in the treatment of refractory or relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness and side effects of CAR T-cell therapies, focusing on factors affecting both clinical outcomes and adverse effects. This review included data from 14 studies involving 1392 patients with DLBCL who underwent CAR T-cell therapy.

"Enhanced Recovery After Surgery" (ERAS) is considered a new standard of care for streamlining the perioperative care of surgical patients with the goal of minimizing complications and optimizing timely patient recovery after surgery. This systematic review was designed to investigate the evidence-based literature pertinent to comparing patient outcomes after ERAS versus conventional perioperative care.

However, disruptions to these rhythms, particularly due to trans-meridian travel and shift work, can lead to significant health issues, including jet lag, metabolic imbalances, and neuropsychiatric disorders. In this systematic review, conducted in line with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Metanalysis (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, we explore the effectiveness of various interventions aimed at realigning circadian rhythms disrupted by such factors.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute cholecystitis (AC) is a prevalent surgical emergency, particularly among elderly individuals who present with high perioperative risks. While early cholecystectomy (CCY) is the standard treatment, percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is proposed as an alternative for high-risk patients. This systematic review aims to evaluate the comparative safety and efficacy of CCY versus PC in managing AC among elderly and high-risk surgical patients.
