In this summing-up paper the authors discuss the results of surgical prevention and correction of progressive myopia carried out at Department of Ophthalmic Diseases of Russian University of Peoples' Friendship during two recent decades. Remote results of bandaging scleroplastic and reduced chondroplastic operations recommend scleroplastic interventions for prevention of myopia progress. Combined scleroplasty and cataract extraction stabilized the elongation of the antero-posterior axis of the eye and essentially improved visual acuity of 18-20 diopters. New variants of interlamellar operations are presented: tunnel-circular and fragmented circular, which are protected by patents of the Russian Federation. These operations are recommended for patients with stable myopia of 8-15 diopters after scleroplasty. Their advantage is low traumatism, absence of deep incisions on the cornea, wide optic center, possibility of regulating the refraction effect by replacing the implants or their complete removal without serious consequences for the cornea.

Preventive clipping versus coiling in unruptured intracranial aneurysms: A comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review to explore safety and efficacy.

Department of Geriatrics and Neurology, Diakonie Hospital Jung Stilling, Siegen, Germany.
Background: Surgical clipping and endovascular coiling are both effective in preventing aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, but the choice between these interventions remains controversial, leading to treatment disparities across medical centers.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, including relevant two-arm clinical trials up to September 2023, sourced from Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Our primary outcomes were complete occlusion rates during mid-term and long-term follow-ups.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a type of hemorrhagic stroke with high morbidity, mortality and disability, and early brain injury (EBI) after SAH is crucial for prognosis. Recently, stem cell therapy has garnered significant attention in the treatment of neurological diseases. Compared to other stem cells, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) possess several advantages, including abundant sources, absence of ethical concerns, non-invasive procurement, non-tumorigenic history and neuroprotective potential.

Background: Patients with prior abdominal surgeries are at higher risk of intra-peritoneal adhesions near the trocar entry site, increasing the likelihood of organ injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study evaluates a novel technique where the epigastric trocar is inserted first, after creating pneumoperitoneum, to allow safe dissection of adhesions under direct vision before placing the umbilical trocar.
Methods: This prospective study included 244 patients with symptomatic uncomplicated gallstone disease and a history of previous abdominal surgeries extending to the umbilicus.
ICU-Broncho-Aspiration Protocols Monitoring at an Academic Health Network System.

the Marshall University School of Medicine, Huntington, West Virginia.
Objectives: The objectives were to determine intensive care unit (ICU) incidence of broncho-aspiration (BA) and the effect of monitoring BA prevention protocols.
Methods: The Health Network Warehouse was interrogated for the diagnosis of BA in patients older than 18 years in the surgical ICU (SICU) from January 2010 to December 2020. A BA prevention bundle protocol was prospectively monitored during all consecutive SICU admissions from August 2021 to November 2021 until discharge/death (n = 159).

Purpose: This study was aimed to assess the effect of intermittent fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring using Moyo Doppler compared with fetoscope in hospitals of Ethiopia, 2023.
Background: To facilitate more prompt identification of a hypoxic fetus, Laerdal Global Health has recently introduced the Moyo FHR monitor. Nevertheless, there exists limited knowledge regarding its efficacy derived from multicenter contextual trials conducted in resource-constrained environments, specifically in Ethiopia.
