A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Single-group Studies Assessing the Role of Calcium Hydroxylapatite in Aesthetic Enhancements and Satisfaction.

Background: Many studies assess aesthetic effectiveness of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), with single-group designs as the most frequently applied designs in practice. This study systematically reviewed CaHA's effectiveness for aesthetic purposes among these studies.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across 5 bibliographic databases.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and Aesthetic Outcomes: A Systematic Review of Controlled Clinical Trials.

: This study aimed to systematically review and summarize the available controlled clinical trials on the effectiveness of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) in terms of aesthetic outcomes, skin-aging-related outcomes, and patient/investigator satisfaction. : We included controlled clinical trials involving at least 10 human adults that examined the effects of CaHA on aesthetic and skin-aging-related outcomes and satisfaction. Due to the high heterogeneity among the included studies, only a qualitative analysis is provided.

Skin regeneration-related mechanisms of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA): a systematic review.

Introduction: Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a common dermal filler used in aesthetic medicine for volumizing and contouring. Understanding mechanisms of actions of CaHA can help improve our understanding of its clinical applications.

Methods: We performed a systematic review to summarize the skin-regeneration related mechanisms of CaHA.

Endovascular revascularization strategies for aortoiliac and femoropopliteal artery disease: a meta-analysis.

Aims: Optimal endovascular management of intermittent claudication (IC) remains disputed. This systematic review and meta-analysis compares efficacy and safety outcomes for balloon angioplasty (BA), bare-metal stents (BMS), drug-coated balloons (DCB), drug-eluting stents (DES), covered stents, and atherectomy.

Methods And Results: Electronic databases were searched for randomized, controlled trials (RCT) from inception through November 2021.

Systematic Review of Human and Animal Evidence on the Role of Buckwheat Consumption on Gastrointestinal Health.

Background: Buckwheat is a commonly cultivated crop with growing evidence that it is beneficial to gastrointestinal (GI) health. This systematic review summarizes the role of buckwheat in modifying GI health outcomes and microbiomes.

Methods: Four medical databases and Google Scholar were systematically searched.

Buckwheat and Cardiometabolic Health: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Buckwheat (BW) is suggested to have beneficial effects, but evidence on how it affects cardiometabolic health (CMH) is not yet established. We aimed to assess the effects of BW and/or its related bioactive compounds on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk markers in adults. Five databases were searched for eligible studies.

Factors predicting postoperative morbidity after cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Advances in ovarian cancer cytoreductive surgery have enabled more extensive procedures to achieve maximal cytoreduction but with a consequent increase in postoperative morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate factors for postoperative morbidity after extensive cytoreductive surgery for primary epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), particularly those which may be modifiable.

Methods: Electronic databases were searched.

Survival in Advanced-Stage Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Patients with Cardiophrenic Lymphadenopathy Who Underwent Cytoreductive Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of enlarged cardiophrenic lymph node (CPLN) in advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (AEOC) patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery.

Methods: The Embase, Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases were searched for articles from the database inception to June 2021. Meta-analysis was conducted to determine the prognostic impact of surgical outcome, postoperative complication, and survival using random-effects models.

Outcomes of Atrial Arrhythmia Surgery in Patients With Congenital Heart Disease: A Systematic Review.

Background The improved life expectancy of patients with congenital heart disease is often accompanied by the development of atrial tachyarrhythmias. Similarly, the number of patients requiring redo operations is expected to continue to rise as these patients are aging. Consequently, the role of arrhythmia surgery in the treatment of atrial arrhythmias is likely to become more important in this population.
