A systematic review and meta-analysis on mortality rate following total pelvic exenteration in cancer patients.

Background: Total pelvic exenteration (TPE), an en bloc resection is an ultraradical operation for malignancies, and refers to the removal of organs inside the pelvis, including female reproductive organs, lower urological organs and involved parts of the digestive system. The aim of this meta-analysis is to estimate the intra-operative mortality, in-hospital mortality, 30- and 90-day mortality rate and overall mortality rate (MR) following TPE in colorectal, gynecological, urological, and miscellaneous cancers.

Methods: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis in which three international databases including Medline through PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science on November 2023 were searched.

Key Clinical Message: A high risk diabetic foot ulcer is treated by ozone therapy and collagen powder. The goal of this study was to report a high risk case, treated by ozone therapy, and collagen powder. Ozone therapy and collagen powder can improve healing process of diabetic foot ulcers.

Inflammatory markers and functional outcome score in different subgroups of ischaemic stroke: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide. Determining subgroups and outcomes of AIS may lead to better treatment. We aimed to investigate the relationship between inflammatory markers and subgroups of AIS with further follow-up of patients in terms of functional outcome score.

Stiff-person syndrome revealing an occult gray zone lymphoma: A diagnostic challenge.

Key Clinical Message: Stiff-Person Syndrome (SPS) can be associated with various malignancies, including lymphomas. Therefore, clinicians should always remain vigilant for the presence of an underlying malignancy, especially in older patients presenting with SPS.

Abstract: Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by painful muscle spasms.

Thyroid Function in Children with Cyanotic and Non-Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease.

Objective: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the common diseases of childhood, which is classified into non-cyanotic and cyanotic types. It can affect thyroid function and lead to disruptions in thyroid hormone secretion and hypofunction. This study aimed to evaluate thyroid function in patients younger than 2 years old with cyanotic and non-cyanotic CHD.

Guillain-Barré syndrome following COVID-19 vaccine: A case report.

Coronavirus disease is a viral infection affecting different organs with various morbidities and mortality. Vaccines are used to control the disease. COVID-19 vaccines have brought many benefits but their adverse effects should not be ignored.

A Systematic Review on Overall Survival and Disease-Free Survival Following Total Pelvic Exenteration.

Backgrounds: Total Pelvic Exenteration (TPE) is a radical operation for malignancies in which all of the organs inside the pelvic cavity, including the female reproductive organs, the lower urinary tract, and a part of the rectosigmoid are removed. In this study, we aimed to conduct a systematic review to assess the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) following TPE.

Methods: This systematic review is composed of a comprehensive review of PubMed and Scopus databases with various related keywords to synthesis the overall survival and disease-free survival following TPE.
