A systematic review and meta-analysis of miRNAs for the detection of cervical cancer.

This study aimed to critically appraise the evidence of the diagnostic effectiveness of miRNAs for the detection of cervical cancer. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed, searching PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science. An umbrella meta-analysis of meta-analyses of individual biomarkers was performed.

Outcomes of Transarterial Embolisation (TAE) vs. Transarterial Chemoembolisation (TACE) for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Although hepatocellular carcinoma is increasingly common, debate exists surrounding the management of patients with unresectable disease comparing transarterial embolisation (TAE) or transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE). This study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients receiving TAE and TACE. A systematic review was performed using PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) until August 2021.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic effectiveness of human papillomavirus methylation biomarkers for detection of cervical cancer.

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the evidence for the diagnostic effectiveness of human papillomavirus (HPV) methylation biomarkers for detection of cervical cancer. PubMed, Embase and Web of Science were searched. Nine articles focusing on HPV methylation for detection of precancerous and cancerous cervical lesions were included.

Early postoperative arterial lactate concentrations to stratify risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure.

Background: Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) represents the major determinant for death after liver resection. Early recognition is essential. Perioperative lactate dynamics for risk assessment of PHLF and associated morbidity were evaluated.

Role of liver support systems in the management of post hepatectomy liver failure: A systematic review of the literature.

Backgrounds/aims: Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a serious complication following liver resection, with limited treatment options, and is associated with high mortality. There is a need to evaluate the role of systems that support the function of the liver after PHLF.

Aims: The aim of this study was to review the literature and summarize the role of liver support systems (LSS) in the management of PHLF.

Variations between the anatomical and functional distribution, based on 99 technetium -mebrofinate SPECT-CT scan, in patients at risk of post hepatectomy liver failure.

Background: The aim of the current study is to investigate the variations of anatomical (LV%) and functional remnant volumes (fLV%) and the dynamic uptake of Technetium-Mebrofinate (FRLF) measured from 99 Technetium-Mebrofinate SPECT-CT scan (TMSCT) in patients at high risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF).

Methods: Variations in the measures of LV% and fLV% were assessed. The predictive accuracies of LV%, fLV% and FRLF with respect to PHLF were reported.
