Consequently, it becomes imperative to address pain management through a comparative analysis of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and conventional radiation therapy (CRT), especially in light of the less efficacious improvement achieved solely through pharmacological interventions.
Materials And Methods: A systematic exploration was undertaken on PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Elsevier's ScienceDirect databases to identify studies that compare Stereotactic Radiotherapy to Conventional radiation therapy for pain management in individuals with metastatic bone cancer.
Background and objective The recent emergence of new molecules like angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) has highlighted the need for an update in heart failure (HF) management, as they have proven to yield better patient outcomes compared to the traditional angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin II receptor blocker (ACEI/ARB) use. This study aimed to compare HF-related hospitalization and death in patients on either ACEI/ARBs or ARNI in a local setting. Methods This two-arm interventional study was conducted in the cardiology and internal medicine units of a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan from July 2018 to December 2020.
