Using Transorbital Sonography for Assessing Traumatic Brain Injury in Patients With Periorbital Hematoma.

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the comparative effectiveness of transorbital sonography (TOS) and the pupillary penlight visual assessment method in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and periorbital hematoma.

Methods: A total of 140 patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were selected from a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province between January 2022 and December 2023. Pupillary function in all patients was assessed using both TOS and the pupillary penlight visual assessment method on the first, third, and seventh day after admission.

Competency-based ultrasound curriculum for standardized training resident: a pre- and post-training evaluation.

Background: Ultrasound training is crucial for residents across specialties but presents challenges for residents that are not specializing in ultrasound. Investigating the effectiveness of competency-based ultrasound curricula for a wider range of medical specialties is imperative.

Methods: A total of 250 residents who attended the ultrasound curriculum between June 2023 and June 2024 were included in the analysis.

The efficacy and safety of medication for treating overactive bladder in patients with Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis and systematic review of randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The goal of this meta-analysis was to determine the efficacy and safety of medication for treating overactive bladder (OAB) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods: Papers containing predefined key terms were searched in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases up to December 2021 to collect randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials (RCTs). The review process followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statements.

Smart Sensing Multifunctionalities Based on Barium Strontium Titanate Thin Films.

Sensors that have low power consumption, high scalability and the ability of rapidly detecting multitudinous external stimulus are of great value in cyber-physical interactive applications. Herein, we reported the fabrication of ferroelectric barium strontium titanate ((BaSr)TiO, BST) thin films on silicon substrates by magnetron sputtering. The as-grown BST films have a pure perovskite structure and exhibit excellent ferroelectric characteristics, such as a remnant polarization of 2.

Meta-Analysis of the Efficacy and Safety of Ketamine on Postoperative Catheter-Related Bladder Discomfort.

We conducted meta-analysis to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of ketamine on postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD). A systematic search was performed through PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library to identify all randomized controlled trials that used ketamine in postoperative CRBD. This study was carried out by using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.

Tadalafil 5 mg Once Daily Improves Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Erectile Dysfunction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objectives: We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess tadalafil 5 mg once-daily for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and erectile dysfunction (ED).

Methods: A literature review was performed to identify all published randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of tadalafil 5 mg once-daily for the treatment of LUTS and ED. The search included the following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register.
