Article Synopsis
- Vaccination has proven to be a key method in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting a meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of various COVID-19 vaccines in reducing infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates.
- The study reviewed 54 different research articles and found that the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines significantly increased after the second dose, with Pooled Vaccine Effectiveness (PVE) reaching 87% for infections and 89% for hospitalizations.
- The analysis concluded that vaccines BNT162b2 mRNA, mRNA-1273, and ChAdOx1 demonstrated high effectiveness in preventing COVID-19-related issues, suggesting their continued use for disease prevention.
Introduction: Early decompression within the first 24 hours after spinal cord injury (SCI) is proposed in current guidelines. However, the possible benefits of earlier decompression are unclear. Thus, the present meta-analysis aims to investigate the existing evidence regarding the efficacy of ultra-early decompression surgery (within 12 hours after SCI) in improving patients' neurological status.

This research study aimed to compare the sonographic findings of patients who underwent cholecystostomy with and without HA use.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive-analysis study was conducted by available nonprobability sampling technique, and according to Cochran Formula, 144 patients, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystostomy, were recruited and divided into two groups including a group of 85 patients with HA use and a group of 59 patients without HA use.
