Thermal Welding Tonsillectomy versus Monopolar Electrocautery Tonsillectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.

Objective: In hopes of contributing to the decision about the best surgical option in tonsillectomy, we performed this work to compare the effectiveness of the thermal welding system (TW) and monopolar electrocautery (ME) tonsillectomy in terms of postoperative pain, postoperative bleeding, and operation time in patients undergoing tonsillectomy, to determine which procedure is most expected to enhance the postoperative quality of life.

Methods: Digital databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, were systematically screened from inception up to October 2022. The included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were evaluated for risk of bias via the Cochrane tool (version 2).

Efficacy of gelfoam middle ear packing in type-1 tympanoplasty: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the surgical outcomes of type-1 tympanoplasty with and without gelfoam middle ear packing.

Methods: PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases were screened from inception until October 2022. The included RCTs were evaluated for risk of bias, and the quality of each outcome was assessed according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system.

Coblation tonsillectomy versus laser tonsillectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluated coblation versus laser (carbon dioxide and diode) tonsillectomy, with regard to various surgical and clinical outcomes.

Methods: We searched PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science for relevant from inception until March 2021. We evaluated risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration Tool.

A Mechanistic Study on the Amiodarone-Induced Pulmonary Toxicity.

Amiodarone- (AM-) induced pulmonary toxicity (AIPT) is still a matter of research and is poorly understood. In attempting to resolve this issue, we treated Sprague-Dawley rats with AM doses of 80 mg/kg/day/i.p.

Colonoscopy completion rates and reasons for incompletion.

Objectives: Colonoscopy is one of the major procedures in gastroenterology. Since the procedure is operator dependant, Quality of each procedure is the main element of reliable outcome. One of the elements is the completion rate.
