ERIS Research Institute, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the accuracy of ultrasonography for diagnosing elbow fractures in children, as previous studies have shown mixed results.
- The analysis included 648 studies with 1,000 patients, revealing a pooled sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 87%, indicating that ultrasonography is generally effective.
- Despite promising findings, the authors caution that the studies had limitations and suggest the need for future high-quality research to better standardize the use of ultrasonography in clinical settings.

Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease Research Center, Tehran University ofMedical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Introduction: Although numerous studies have been done to evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasonography in diagnosis of renal calculi in children, there is still no consensus. Therefore, in the present systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in identifying renal stones in children.
Methods: A comprehensive search of the electronic databases including Medline, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science was conducted up to July 2019.
Genetic variants of nucleotide excision repair pathway and outcomes of induction therapy in acute myeloid leukemia.

Blood Transfusion Research Center, High Institute for Research & Education in Transfusion Medicine, Tehran, Iran.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease in pathogenesis and response to therapy. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway has a major role in the elimination of genotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents. We aimed to clarify the effects of selected variants of and genes on the outcomes of induction therapy.

Introduction: Despite the vast number of surveys, no consensus has been reached on the optimum timing of spinal decompression surgery. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the effects of early and latespinal decompression surgery on neurologic improvement and post-surgical complications in patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries.
Methods: Two independent reviewers carried out an extended search in electronic databases.
