Meta-analysis of the frequency of intrauterine growth restriction and preterm premature rupture of the membranes in pregnant women with COVID-19.

The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in pregnancy has yet to be determined. Some studies indicate that SARSCoV- 2 infection may be associated with a higher risk of adverse outcomes in pregnant women. Here, we performed a meta-analysis to estimate the frequency of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM) in pregnant women with Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19).

A meta-analysis for the risk and prevalence of preeclampsia among pregnant women with COVID-19.

Preeclampsia and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection are both life-threatening disorders when they occur during pregnancy.

Association of TNF- rs1800629, CASP3 rs72689236 and FCGR2A rs1801274 Polymorphisms with Susceptibility to Kawasaki Disease: A Comprehensive Meta-Analysis.

Kawasaki Disease (KD) is a multifactorial condition at the junction of infectious diseases, immunology, rheumatology, and cardiology. The aim of this study is to derive a more precise estimation of the association of TNF-α rs1800629, CASP3 rs72689236 and FCGR2A rs1801274 polymorphisms with risk of KD. PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI databases were searched to identify all relevant studies.

Cumulative Evidence for Association between IL-10 Polymorphisms and Kawasaki Disease Susceptibility: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: This meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the associations between IL-10 polymorphisms and Kawasaki disease (KD) risk.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and SciELO for all relevant studies evaluating IL-10 polymorphism and susceptibility to KD. The associations were measured by odds ratios (ORs) and its corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Clinical Trial of Efficacy Evaluation of Omega-3 with Risperidone on Seizures Frequency in Children with Refractory Epilepsy and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Objectives: We aimed to answer the question whether or not previous antiepileptic drugs with combination of omega-3 and risperidone are more efficient than previous antiepileptic drugs with risperidone alone in decreasing of seizures monthly frequency of children with refractory epilepsy and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
