Prehospital Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: To evaluate the available published evidence of the effects of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in the prehospital setting on clinical outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis designed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews an Meta-Analyses guidelines.

To scope or not - the challenges of managing patients with positive fecal occult blood test after recent colonoscopy.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health problem. There is minimal consensus of the appropriate approach to manage patients with positive immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT), following a recent colonoscopy.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of advanced neoplasia in patients with a positive iFOBT after a recent colonoscopy, and clinical and endoscopic predictors for advanced neoplasia.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of long-term outcomes in adults undergoing the Ross procedure.

Background: The management of aortic valve disease is becoming increasingly complicated with the evolution of treatment options available to cardiac surgeons and cardiologist. Pulmonary autograft replacement of the aortic valve, commonly known as the Ross procedure, involves excision of the pulmonary valve from the right ventricular outflow tract and implantation in the aortic position. This systematic review aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes, following the Ross procedure.
