Effectiveness of remote ischemic preconditioning in patients undergoing transplant surgery: meta-analysis of randomized control studies.

Introduction: Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a phenomenon in which the induction of shortened periods of ischemia prior to surgical procedures within a distant tissue preserves other tissues or organs of concern, such as the liver or kidney in transplant surgery, in the event of prolonged ischemic insults. The authors aim to evaluate the effectiveness of RIPC in patients undergoing transplant surgery, specifically kidney and liver transplants.

Materials And Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Scopus were searched until 19 December 2023 for trials evaluating RIPC in patients undergoing transplant surgery.

Efficacy and safety of PD-1 Monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: Systematic review and meta Regression.

Background: Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) contributes to the global burden of disease. Conventional treatments such as surgical resection and chemotherapy offer limited long-term survival rates. Recently, immunotherapies targeting PD-1 have shown promise in other cancers, but their efficacy in ESCC remains unclear.
