Objective: Prematurity complications remain the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Although cerclage shows promise in preventing preterm birth, it remains unclear whether perioperative management, such as the use of antibiotics or indomethacin, offers any additional benefit.
Study Desing: We conducted a systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis comparing the use of indomethacin, antibiotics, and their combination as perioperative management for cerclage versus cerclage alone. Our research protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) on June 9, 2024 (ID CRD42024552516).
Results: Our systematic review encompassed ten studies, and 838 pregnant women submitted to cerclage for prevention of preterm birth. We found no association between perioperative management and preterm birth before 28 weeks (RR 1.03; 95 % CI 0.76-1.39; p = 0.86), or perinatal mortality (RR 0.81; 95 % CI 0.54-1.22; p = 0.32).
Conclusion: Antibiotics, indomethacin, and their combination may have no additional benefit to cerclage in risk reduction of preterm birth or perinatal mortality.

Background Children with Down syndrome (DS) often have hypoplastic kidneys and urinary tract malformations that increase their renal dysfunction risk. They also have a higher congenital heart disease (CHD) rate, requiring cardiac surgery during infancy. Renal dysfunction in such patients may be associated with the development of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI), but this remains unclear.

Background: Epiglottic masses are often asymptomatic, making them difficult to detect during preoperative examinations. Consequently, anesthesiologists may face ventilation difficulties with no apparent cause. Epiglottic masses can sometimes obstruct laryngoscope insertion into the epiglottic vallecula, complicating general anesthesia induction.

Background: Lower calyceal anatomy makes the stone clearance a difficult task across all treatment formats. Improvement in optics and miniaturization of instruments have offered an effective and safer alternative to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The study was conducted to compare the efficacy and complications associated with mini-PCNL vs standard-PCNL.

Background: The evaluation of mediastinal lymphadenopathy and masses poses a diagnostic challenge because of a myriad of possible etiologic causes; their proximity to numerous vital structures and the difficulty of access for biopsy. Computed tomography is an excellent modality for the initial evaluation of mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs). Tissue diagnosis is of paramount importance to confirm the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy.
