Background: Obtaining informed consent is a cornerstone of biomedical research, yet participants comprehension of presented information is often low. The most effective interventions to improve understanding rates have not been identified.
Purpose: To systematically analyze the random controlled trials testing interventions to research informed consent process.
Background: Hyperprolactinemia is a common endocrine disorder that can be associated with significant morbidity. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses of outcomes of hyperprolactinemic patients, including microadenomas and macroadenomas, to provide evidence-based recommendations for practitioners. Through this review, we aimed to compare efficacy and adverse effects of medications, surgery and radiotherapy in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia.

However, little is known about clinical, demographic, or psychosocial predictors that may impact risk perception in these groups. The objective of this study was to characterize factors associated with perceived risk of developing cancer in groups at high risk for cancer based on genetics or family history.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFContext: The natural history of pituitary incidentalomas (PIs) and nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) remains poorly understood.
Objective: The objective of the study was to synthesize the literature on the prognostic factors involved in the progression of PIs and NFPAs in patients followed up conservatively.
Data Sources: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL.
Objectives: To synthesize the available evidence regarding the outcomes associated with nonoperative management, open repair, and endovascular repair of thoracic aortic transection.
Methods: We searched electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus) for studies that enrolled patients with aortic transection and measured the outcomes of interest. Two reviewers determined study eligibility and extracted data.
Background: Surgery is commonly used in the management of pituitary nonfunctioning adenomas (NFPA). The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effect of surgery on mortality, surgical complications, pituitary function and vision.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL, queried experts and reviewed the reference list of included publications.
