We aimed to evaluate the influence of RTI on the overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and local-regional recurrence-free survival (LRFS) of patients with esophageal cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy.
Methods: A total of 299 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma from 2017 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed to investigate the effect of RTI on OS, PFS, and LRFS.
Objective: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a prevalent and clinically significant condition characterized by limited treatment options. In this context, the objective of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan compared to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in managing HFpEF.
Methods: A systematic search of relevant studies was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library.

Objectives: Continuous surveillance of bladder volume (BV) is beneficial during the treatment of various urogenital diseases because the bladder is always changing its position, size and even shape at different filling phases. For this purpose, we quantified the motion of the urinary bladder.
Methods: Daily ultrasound measurements and weekly cone-beam computed tomography scans were obtained from 89 patients in the supine position.
