Background: Nivolumab and ipilimumab combination immunotherapy has become a standard treatment option for certain cancers. However, the benefits of combination therapy compared to nivolumab monotherapy in lung cancer patients are not entirely clear. We aimed to evaluate whether nivolumab plus ipilimumab improves clinical outcomes in lung cancer patients compared to nivolumab monotherapy.

- Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) continues to be a major health challenge globally, even with improved treatment options.
- This study evaluated the impact of empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor typically used for managing type 2 diabetes, on heart function in ACS patients by analyzing data from four randomized controlled trials with a total of 701 participants.
- Results showed that empagliflozin significantly improved certain left cardiac parameters, like reducing left ventricular end-systolic volume and mass, although it did not significantly change left ventricular ejection fraction or end-diastolic volume, indicating its potential as a complementary treatment in ACS cases.

Introduction: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is rich in factors that play a role in stem cell recruitment, inflammation modulation, and angiogenesis. With numerous preclinical and clinical studies exploring PRP as a potential treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), this study focused on assessing the effectiveness of intracorporeal PRP injection for ED patients based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Objectives: The study sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intracorporeal injection of PRP in treating ED through a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs.
