Background: Meta-analysis is a statistical method to synthesize evidence from a number of independent studies, including those from clinical studies with binary outcomes. In practice, when there are zero events in one or both groups, it may cause statistical problems in the subsequent analysis.
Methods: In this paper, by considering the relative risk as the effect size, we conduct a comparative study that consists of four continuity correction methods and another state-of-the-art method without the continuity correction, namely the generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs).
Objective: To explore clinical effects of suture anchor with V-Y tenoplasty for the treatment of old Achilles tendon rupture.
Methods: From May 2014 to March 2018, 26 patients with old Achilles tendon rupture treated by suture anchor with V-Y tenoplasty, including 18 males and 8 females aged from 19 to 56 years old with an average of (36.0±11.
Objective: We sought to develop a new posterior fusion technique composed of bilateral C1 titanium cables and C2 pedicle screw-rods for treatment of atlantoaxial instability not suitable for C1 screw placement.
Methods: A study was conducted of 18 patients with atlantoaxial instability who had C1 broken screw trajectory or anatomic anomalies. All patients underwent posterior fixation with bilateral C1 titanium cables and C2 pedicle screws.
Article Synopsis
- Investigating genetic differences can help researchers better understand the origins and mechanisms of diseases, particularly in cancer research.
- The study highlights how L-kynurenine (L-Kyn) impacts immune response and the differing roles of miR-30b in normal immune cells versus B lymphoma cells.
- Results indicate that genetic variations in cells significantly affect how miR-30b regulates immune responses to L-Kyn, suggesting the importance of considering these differences in future studies.
A method for measuring the birefringence in planar waveguide circuits is theoretically proposed and validated. The method is based on the Mach-Zehnder interference and by measuring the spectral shift due to orthogonal polarization states. The birefringence of a silica waveguide is measured to be 2.
