Instructional design features in ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia simulation-based training: a systematic review.

Introduction: Ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia enhances pain control, patient outcomes and lowers healthcare costs. However, teaching this skill effectively presents challenges with current training methods. Simulation-based medical education offers advantages over traditional methods.

Efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor engineered natural killer cells in the treatment of hematologic malignancies: a systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical studies.

Background: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) engineered NK cells (CAR-NK) are a novel approach to the immunotherapy of hematologic malignancies which seeks to overcome some of the challenges faced by CAR-T cells (CAR-T). With few published clinical studies, preclinical studies can identify strategies to accelerate clinical translation. We conducted a systematic review on the preclinical in vivo use of CAR-NK for the treatment of hematologic malignancies to assess these therapies in a holistic and unbiased manner.

Sexually dimorphic response to tobacco in the development of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) demonstrates a complex interaction with tobacco exposure and sex differences, where females and males may experience varying risks and outcomes. This study aims to investigate how sex differences mediate the relationship between tobacco exposure and CKD development, with a secondary focus on regional variability and social determinants of health.

Study Selection And Criteria: Comprehensive searches on MEDLINE, EMBASE, clinicaltrials.

As-Needed Blood Pressure Medication and Adverse Outcomes in VA Hospitals.

Importance: Asymptomatic blood pressure (BP) elevations in the hospital are commonly treated with as-needed BP medications, including recurring as-needed and 1-time administration. Veterans represent a population at risk of ischemic events from rapid lowering of BP, but the impact of as-needed BP medication use in this population is unknown.

Objective: To assess the risks of acute kidney injury (AKI) and other outcomes from as-needed BP medication administration in a hospitalized veteran cohort.

Analytical modelling techniques for enhancing tacrolimus dosing in solid organ transplantation: a systematic review protocol.

Introduction: Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressant commonly administered in transplant recipients. Given its narrow therapeutic range and susceptibility to various influencing variables, determining its optimal dosage is challenging. This systematic review seeks to identify effective analytical modelling techniques and methods for optimal tacrolimus dose prediction in solid transplant recipients.
