World Neurosurg
June 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, The First People's Hospital of Yibin City, Yibin, China. Electronic address:
Background: The efficacy of surgical intervention in ameliorating long-term prognosis for moderate volume of cerebral hemorrhage in the thalamus-internal capsule region remains unsubstantiated by clinical investigations. Consequently, the acquisition of credible evidence is imperative to authenticate the effectiveness of these methodologies.
Methods: One hundred and three eligible patients with moderate-volume thalamus-internal capsule region cerebral hemorrhage.

Head of Department, Department of Medicine, Shifa College of Medicine, Islamabad, Pakistan.
Background: Azithromycin has been adopted as a component of the COVID-19 management protocol throughout the global healthcare settings but with a questionable if not downright unsubstantiated evidence base.
Objectives: In order to amalgamate and critically appraise the conflicting evidence around the clinical efficacy of Azithromycin (AZO) vis a vis COVID-19 management outcomes, a meta-analysis of meta-analyses was carried out to establish an evidence-based holistic status of AZO vis a vis its efficacy as a component-in-use of the COVID-19 management protocol.
Methods: A comprehensive systematic search was carried out through PubMed/Medline, Cochrane and Epistemonikos with a subsequent appraisal of abstracts and full-texts, as required.
Microwave Ablation, Radiofrequency Ablation, Irreversible Electroporation, and Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy for Intermediate Size (3-5 cm) Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Curr Oncol Rep
June 2022
Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Amsterdam UMC, Location VUmc, De Boelelaan 1117, 1081 HV, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- Thermal ablation is considered the best method for treating small unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), but its effectiveness decreases as tumor size increases, creating uncertainty for intermediate-size tumors (3-5 cm).
- A systematic review found no comparative studies on the safety and effectiveness of local ablative treatments (thermal ablation, irreversible electroporation, and stereotactic ablative body-radiotherapy) for intermediate-size CRLM, revealing a wide range of local control rates (22-90%).
- Although all techniques are generally safe and can lead to long-term control, there is insufficient evidence to assert the superiority of one method over another, highlighting the need for future studies to compare treatment outcomes more thoroughly.
