AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of rapid prototyping drill navigation templates for pedicle screw fixation against traditional anatomical landmark techniques in spinal surgery using existing literature.
- It involved analyzing data from randomized controlled trials and various case-control studies, screening relevant research, and utilizing specific evaluation methods to assess study quality.
- Findings indicated that navigation template-assisted surgeries significantly improved screw placement accuracy, reduced operative time, and minimized blood loss compared to conventional methods, showcasing its advantages in spinal disease treatment.
Article Abstract
Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy of rapid prototyping drill navigation template-assisted pedicle screw fixation and traditional anatomic landmark-based fixation in the treatment of spinal disease by accessing and searching some relevant literatures home and abroad.
Methods: Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and prospective case-control studies or retrospective case-control studies about rapid prototyping drill templates-assisted pedicle screw fixation and traditional anatomic landmark-based fixation for the treatment of spinal disease were searched electronically in PubMed, The Cochrane Library(Issue 5, 2017), Clinical Trial, Google Scholar, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang database and VIP database before June 2017. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, two researchers independently screened the literatures, and extracted the data. The methodological quality of randomized controlled trials were evaluated by the Cochrane Handbook, and prospective case-control studies and retrospective case-control studies were evaluated by the NOS scale. The outcomes were analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software provided by the Cochrane information management system.
Results: A total of 7 articles were included, including 2 RCTs, 1 prospective case-control study and 4 retrospective case-control studies. A total of 237 patients were implanted with 1 688 pedicle screws, including 898 screws in the navigation template group, 790 screws in the conventional method group. Meta-analysis results showed that there was significant difference in the excellent rate of screw implantation between navigation template group and conventional method group [OR=5.05, 95% CI(3.13, 8.16), <0.000 01], there was significant difference in operative time, intraoperative blood loss for thoracolumbar surgery [WMD=-27.19, 95% CI(-38.21, -16.17), <0.000 01; WMD=-100.82, 95% CI(-182.26, -19.37), =0.02].
Conclusions: Compared with traditional pedicle screw fixation, navigation template spine pedicle screw fixation has better clinical effect, which can improve the excellent rate of screw placement, reduce the operation time and intraoperative bleeding.

Background: Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase1 (IRAK1) plays a considerable role in the inflammatory signaling pathway. The current study aimed to identify any association between (rs1059703) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and vulnerability to rheumatological diseases in the pediatric and adult Egyptian population.
Patients And Methods: The current study included four patient groups: adult Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE), and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

The rapid development and deployment of mRNA and non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have played a pivotal role in mitigating the global pandemic. Despite their success in reducing severe disease outcomes, emerging concerns about cardiovascular complications have raised questions regarding their safety. This systematic review critically evaluates the evidence on the cardiovascular effects of COVID-19 vaccines, assessing both their protective and adverse impacts, while considering the challenges posed by the limited availability of randomized controlled trial (RCT) data on these rare adverse events.
