Ever since the introduction of orthodontics as a separate specialty branch in dentistry, a variety of techniques have evolved, and methods developed both in the type of…

Trocar site incisional hernias (TSIH) are the most common complications in laparoscopic surgery. We have carried out a review of the literature with the aim of establishing their incidence, the reasons for them happening, and their prevention. After a search in the MEDLINE PubMed and PubMed CENTRAL data bases from 1991…

AIM: We have carried out a bibliometric analysis on the development of ametropia literature to determine its growth rule and tendency, and to provide the basis for the problems related to ametropia research. METHODS: Literatures that contained the descriptors of ametropia in title or paper published before Nov. 10, 20…

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare systemic and heterogeneous disease secondary to proliferation and diffuse infiltration of immature CD1a-positive dendritic cells, also known as Langerhans cells. LCH affects predominantly paediatric patients and is rarely diagnosed in adulthood. Despite its worldwide preval…

OBJECTIVES: To systematically evaluate the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) treatment on the final adult height of children over 6 years of age with central precocious puberty (CPP) or early and fast puberty (EFP). METHODS: PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang Data were…

INTRODUCTION: Integrated care research evidence should be optimally visible and accessible to stakeholders. This study examines the contribution of specific databases to the discovery of integrated care evidence, and tests the usefulness of Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) indexing of this literature within PubMed. METH…

BACKGROUND: Central airway obstruction (CAO), seen in a variety of malignant and nonmalignant airway disorders, is associated with a poor prognosis. The management of CAO is dependent on provider training and local resources, which may make the clinical approach and outcomes highly variable. We reviewed the current lit…

BACKGROUND: The clinical spectrum of systemic nocardiosis encompasses pulmonary and disseminated disease. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is an important feature of disseminated disease with significant mortality and high relapse rate, especially in those with suppressed cell-mediated immunity. This systematic…

BACKGROUND: CNS manifestations represent an emerging facet of NTM infection with significant mortality. Due to protean presentation and low index of suspicion, many cases are often treated erroneously as tubercular meningitis or fungal infections. OBJECTIVES: Literature on NTM CNS disease is scarce, with most availabl…

Background Some pediatric endocrinologists recommend that girls with central precocious puberty (CPP) have cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed only if they are younger than 6 years of age. However, no practice guidelines exist. The objective of this review was to assess the frequency of intracranial lesi…

Mental Healthcare Act (MHCA) 2017 was gazetted on April 7, 2017. It repeals the Mental Health Act, 1987, and it can be implemented only after the state rules are formed. The central government has already published three sets of rules. This article was written with an objective to review how to make rules and regulatio…

OBJECTIVE: To provide an up to date review of the epidemiology, etiology, treatment and prevention of hydatid cyst of the central nervous system, with an emphasis in South American countries. METHODS: We searched the PubMed databases for articles containing the terms 'hydatid cyst' and 'nervous system'. RESULTS: We f…

Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is a rare disorder. However, it is often considered in the differential diagnosis of vascular or inflammatory CNS diseases. Diagnosis is challenging, as specific biomarkers are lacking and the clinical presentation can be variable. A definitive diagnosis can only b…

Rotavirus remains a major cause of acute gastroenteritis among children under five years of age, particularly in regions with heterogeneous vaccine implementation. In Central Asia, differences in the timing and coverage of rotavirus vaccination may influence circulating genotype patterns, yet regional evidence remains…

BACKGROUND: Diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS) in children is challenging due to overlap with other demyelinating disorders. The Central Vein Sign (CVS) is a promising MRI biomarker in adult MS, but its diagnostic role in pediatric-onset MS (POMS) remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis provides the f…

To explore the potential benefits of Stellate ganglion block (SGB) in regulating the central and peripheral systems, as well as its potential as a treatment option for these diseases. We conducted a comprehensive search in PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar libraries using the following keywords: stellate gangl…

Non-Euclidean data, such as social networks and citation relationships between documents, have node and structural information. The Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) can automatically learn node features and association information between nodes. The core ideology of the Graph Convolutional Network is to aggregate node…

The Bruton non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinase (BTK), a deficiency of which leads to X-linked agammaglobulinemia, plays a central role in B cell antigen receptor signaling. Owing to the exclusivity of this enzyme in B cells, the acronym could represent B cell tyrosine kinase. BTK is activated by the Lyn and SYK protei…

Long-acting analogs of GnRH (GnRHas) have been the gold-standard treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP) worldwide and have an enviable track record of safety and efficacy. Recent years have witnessed much growth in the availability of longer-acting and sustained-release forms of GnRHas. Although all available ag…

BACKGROUND: There are numerous reports worldwide on the use of complementary therapy for female infertility. This paper presents an overview of the available systematic reviews (SRs) on the outcomes of complementary therapy for female infertility. METHODS: Electronic databases, including Pubmed, the Cochrane Central R…
