Peritonitis Following Duodenal Ulcer Perforation in a Newborn: A Case Report.

Duodenal ulcer is an uncommon condition in children, that is why it is not usually considered as the differential diagnosis unless it presents with complications including perforation and haemorrhage. Moreover, duodenal ulcer perforation is an uncommon entity in paediatric age group. Early diagnosis and treatment is crucial in order to improve survival.

Strategies Preventing Contrast-Induced Nephropathy After Coronary Angiography: A Comprehensive Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review of 125 Randomized Controlled Trials.

This systematic review with meta-analysis sought to determine the strength of evidence for the effects of hydration (sodium bicarbonate [SB] and normal saline [NS]), supplementations ( N-acetylcysteine [NAC] and vitamin C), and some common drugs (adenosine antagonists [AAs], statins, loop diuretics, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors [ACEIs]) on the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and requirement for hemodialysis after coronary angiography. After screening, a total of 125 trials that reported outcomes were identified. Pooled analysis indicated beneficial effects of SB versus NS (odds ratio [OR] = 0.

Impact of antioxidant supplementations on cardio-renal protection in cardiac surgery: an updated and comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review.

This systematic review with meta-analysis sought to determine the strength of evidence in terms of the impact of common antioxidant supplementations, such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC), vitamin C, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on perioperative outcomes after cardiac surgery with particular focus on the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and acute kidney injury (AKI) with associated mortality. A total of 29 trials were identified that reported incidence of AF and 17 trials that reported incidence of AKI. Pooled analysis reported that NAC (OR=0.

Independent and joint effects of serum 25-hydroxivitamin D and calcium on breast cancer ratio in an Iran population: A cross-sectional study.

Background: It has been suggested that Vitamin D and calcium have protective effects against breast cancer. The results about breast cancer and serum Vitamin D and calcium levels are still controversial, indefinite, and insufficient to determine the amount of nutritional needs. Thus, we investigated the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D(25-OH-D) and calcium on the ratio of breast cancer at diagnosis time.

Protective effects of anti-oxidant supplementations on contrast-induced nephropathy after coronary angiography: an updated and comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review.

Background And Aim: This systematic review with meta-analysis sought to determine the strength of evidence for effects of antioxidants (AO) such as N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), vitamin C, vitamin E, and alpha-lipoic acid on the incidence of contrast-in-duced nephropathy (CIN), requirement for haemodialysis, level of serum creatinine, and mortality after coronary angiography.

Methods And Results: After Medline, Embase, Elsevier, Sciences online database, and Google Scholar literature searches, studies with randomised controlled design were selected for the meta-analysis. The effect sizes measured were odds ratio (OR) for categorical variables and standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for calculating differences between mean changes of serum creatinine in intervention and control groups.

Appropriate bolus administration of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors for patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: intracoronary or intravenous? A comprehensive and updated meta-analysis and systematic review.

Background And Aim: This systematic review with meta-analysis sought to compare the efficacy and safety of intracoronary (IC) vs. intravenous (IV) administration of glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors on clinical outcomes following per-cutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome).

Methods: Medline, Embase, Elsevier, and Sciences online databases as well as Google Scholar literature were used to select appropriate studies with randomised controlled design.

Current status of sodium bicarbonate in coronary angiography: an updated comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review.

This systematic review with meta-analysis sought to determine comparison of efficacy and safety of hydration with sodium bicarbonate versus sodium chloride on contrast induced nephropathy and clinical outcomes. We searched major electronic databases for studies in randomized controlled trials. A value of P < 0.
