Comparison of Mortality and Postoperative Complications Between Open and Laparoscopic Repair of Perforated Peptic Ulcer: An Umbrella Review.

Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) is one of the common complications of peptic ulcers. Open repair (OR) is the traditional surgical treatment for this condition, but with advances in laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic repair (LR) has gained popularity. Many studies have compared the effectiveness of OR vs.

Primary aortoduodenal fistula: As a first presentation of brucellosis; a case report.

Introduction: The etiologies of primary aortoenteric fistula include aneurysm (most common), foreign body, tumor, radiation therapy, and infection (e.g., tuberculosis, syphilis).

A narrative review on adverse drug reactions of COVID-19 treatments on the kidney.

Studies showed that the respiratory is not the only system affected by coronavirus 2, while cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous systems, as well as essential organs such as the kidneys, can be affected by this virus. In this review, we have studied the epidemiology, clinical, and laboratory findings on COVID-19 infection renal involvement, mortality, physiopathology, remaining renal sequels after recovery, underlying renal disease, and renal injury due to its treatment. Also, protective measures for kidney injury are explained in three levels.

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss after receiving an inactivated viral vaccine, Sinopharm: Two-case report.

The prevalence of Coronavirus Disease 2019 is a global threat. Due to the high mortality rate caused by this disease, the vaccination is mandatory to protect patients against it and reduce the mortality. Rapid development and widespread use of vaccines have raised the possibility of adverse side effects over the course of administration and follow-up.

Trunnionosis in metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasties: Report two cases.

Introduction And Importance: Several studies have discussed trunnionosis in metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasties. However, trunnionosis in metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasties has been less frequently discussed.

Case Presentation: In this study, trunnionosis in two male patients undergoing metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty, which was done to treat femoral head osteonecrosis were reported and discussed adequately.

Schwannoma (neurilemmoma) of tongue: A rare case presentation and review of literature.

It seems that schwannomas of the tongue base originate from branches of the glossopharyngeal, vagus, or hypoglossal nerves. Additionally, complete trans-oral surgical excision is an efficient method to remove them.

Primary isolated extraluminal hydatid cyst of left pulmonary artery.

Introduction And Importance: Hydatid cyst of the pulmonary artery is scarce. There were few reports of intramural involvement of pulmonary artery secondary to cardiac or lung hydatic cyst in the literature. To our knowledge, there was no report of a primary isolated extraluminal hydatid cyst of the left pulmonary artery.

The stage of head and neck diagnosed malignancies in COVID-19 outbreak versus before outbreak: A retrospective study.

Background: Global COVID-19 pandemic has affected cancer care systems. Recent studies show that the number of cases diagnosed with cancer has drastically decreased compared to the same period before the pandemic. Therefore, we are confronted with delayed diagnosis of critical cancers.

Potentially fatal atrium perforation due to right jugular vein catheterization recognized by venography: A case report.

Central venous catheters are the prevalent path for dialysis. Our case was a 54-years-old male with a new case of end-stage renal disease with a complaint of right jugular hemodialysis catheter dysfunction. In our case, the early dysfunctional catheter should be evaluated with contrast studies to achieve accurate information.

Reasons for Preoperative Patient Attrition among Bariatric Surgery Candidates: Patients' Point of View.

The Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Genitourinary Cancers Stage and Grade.

Introduction: Our study aims to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of uro-oncological surgeries (cystectomy, nephrectomy, prostatectomy, orchiectomy, and transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT)) and pathological staging and grading.

Materials And Methods: The present study is a retrospective study on patients with genitourinary cancers treated from 2018 to 2021 in a referral tertiary center. The data were obtained from the hospital records with lengths of 22 and 23 months, labeled hereafter as non-COVID and COVID pandemic, respectively (2018/3/21-2020/1/20 and 2020/1/21-2021/12/21).

The Gene Manipulation and Cellular Immunotherapy Combination in the Treatment of Cancer.

Context: The immune system is directly linked to the tumors, from tumor formation to the tumor's development and metastasis. So, the interest of scientists over the protective immunological mechanisms has increased and shown gifted strategy in cancer treatment.

Evidence Acquisition: Genetic engineering and cellular immunotherapy are two different advanced molecular mechanisms to modify the immune responses and genome.

The importance of personalized medicine in urological cancers.

A better understanding of key regulatory pathways involved in cancers has led to the development of molecularly targeted therapies. Molecular profiling based on genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in tumors provides clinicians with the necessary information to maintain a personalized therapeutic regimen according to the patient's needs. for example, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for advanced prostate cancer is one of the earliest forms of targeted therapy and has remained a choice of treatment by physicians.

Intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the capitulum: A diagnostic challenge.

Here, we describe the first case of intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the capitulum, which is presented as elbow pain, extension lack, and sensation of click in joint flexion. Surgical treatment either arthroscopic or open is more in use in this location of the tumor than cortical osteoid osteoma.
