Ultrasound-Guided Thermal Ablation Versus Thyroidectomy in the Treatment of Benign Thyroid Nodules: Systematic Review and Meta Analysis.

Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation (TA) is a minimally invasive intervention for treating benign thyroid nodules (BTNs). This meta-analysis aims to systematically compare the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided TA with surgery in treating BTNs. Relevant studies were identified through searching electronic databases.

Subthalamic nucleus versus globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation in the treatment of dystonia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of safety and efficacy.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting subthalamic nucleus (STN) versus the globus pallidus internus (GPI) in the treatment of dystonia.

Methods: A comprehensive search strategy was implemented up to July 2024, across five databases, identifying studies relevant to STN-DBS and GPI-DBS in dystonia. Eligibility criteria included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies comparing the two interventions.

Comparative Analysis of Transradial and Transfemoral Approaches in Transarterial Radioembolization for Liver Tumors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is a minimally invasive therapy combining embolization and radiation for cancer treatment. This meta-analysis compares radiation exposure, quality of life, and safety of the transradial (TRA) versus transfemoral (TFA) approaches in TARE for liver tumors.

Materials And Methods: We searched PubMed, SCOPUS, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Web of Science for studies comparing TRA versus TFA in TARE for liver tumors.

The efficacy and safety of selenium supplementation versus placebo in the treatment of Graves' orbitopathy: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Background: Selenium is a trace element crucial for thyroid function, and has potential therapeutic benefits in Graves' orbitopathy (GO). Therefore, we aim to evaluate its efficacy and safety in GO patients to provide valuable insights into its role as a therapeutic option for this condition.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy submental vestibular approach for early-stage papillary thyroid carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Our study aimed to compare the effectiveness and complications of the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy submental vestibular approach (TOETSMVA) versus the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) or conventional open thyroidectomy (COT) in patients with early-stage papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Methods: We searched online databases up to January 2024. The outcomes were analyzed using RevMan 5.

Central retinal artery occlusion in a child with ADA2 deficiency: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Deficiency of ADA2 (DADA2) is the first molecularly described monogenic vasculitis syndrome. During the past decade, DADA2's clinical spectrum has expanded significantly as the number of reported cases has increased.

Case Presentation: A 5-year-old boy with DADA2 who experienced sudden onset left-sided vision loss due to unilateral central retinal artery occlusion.

Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Tendon Release for Trigger Finger Compared With Open Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Trigger finger (also known as stenosing tenosynovitis) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects the fingers and causes discomfort and functional impairment. It is estimated to affect 2-3.6% of the population and is more common in manual laborers and individuals engaged in repetitive hand activities.
