Pregnancy outcomes in renal transplant recipients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Kidney transplantation is a superior treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), compared with hemodialysis, offering better quality of life and birth outcomes in women with ESRD and lower fertility rates.

Objectives: To investigate the pregnancy, maternal, fetal, and graft outcomes following kidney transplantation in women with ESRD and evaluate the improvements in quality of life and associated risks.

Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines.

Testicular mesothelioma disguised as hydrocele: a case report.

Background: Testicular tumors have many different manifestations. The majority of these cases are presented as an incidental finding during hydrocelectomy. Malignant mesotheliomas are uncommon tumours that can arise from the coelomic epithelium of the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, and tunica vaginalis.

Hyper-IgE syndrome: a case report.

Efficacy of Transarterial Chemoembolization Combined With Camrelizumab in the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary cancer of liver tissue and is often caused by chronic liver diseases. The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system is commonly used to determine the stage and prognosis of HCC. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the recommended first-line therapy for intermediate-stage HCC (patients who have asymptomatic, multi-nodular hepatocellular carcinoma).

The Potential of Topical Therapy for Diabetic Wounds: A Narrative Review.

The rising prevalence of diabetes mellitus brings with it a rise in the occurrence of several complications of the disease such as chronic non-healing wounds. Diabetics are more prone to developing chronic wounds due to complications like peripheral neuropathy, poor foot care, hyperglycaemia and peripheral vascular diseases. The aim of this review is to discuss the various imbalances in the cytokine environment of diabetic wounds and to explore the developments in their management with an emphasis on agents that may be used topically to aid the healing process of chronic wounds.

The Association Between Alzheimer's Disease and Epilepsy: A Narrative Review.

Several studies have established the two-way relationship between the sporadic and familial forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and epilepsy. However, a more robust connection exists between epilepsy and early onset familial AD (EOFAD). Still, the mechanisms underlying the same are not yet fully understood.
