Abstract

Introduction: Brachial Plexus Blocks (BPBs) use lignocaine and bupivacaine for anesthesia in upper limb surgeries, with adjuvants like clonidine and dexmedetomidine enhancing efficacy by increasing analgesia duration and reducing adverse events. This systematic review compares the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine versus clonidine as adjuvants in BPBs, explores sources of heterogeneity, and assesses evidence quality for sensory, motor, and analgesic outcomes. Methods: This systematic review focused on full-text English literature published between 2014 and 2024 using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Editorials and review pieces published in the same journal as the submission without a DOI were not accepted. The literature was compiled using Medline, Science Direct, Scopus and Embase, among other online venues. Results: six publications were found to be directly related to our ongoing systematic examination after a rigorous three-level screening approach. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of the complete text was conducted, and additional scrutiny was given to these articles. Conclusion: Moderate to high-quality evidence suggests that dexmedetomidine is a more efficacious adjuvant to local anesthetics in BPBs compared to clonidine.

Abstract

Background: Studies show that osteoporosis, a condition with low bone mineral density, increases the risk of fragility fractures, leading to higher mortality rates, disability, and increased healthcare expenses. Men are at higher risk, and pharmacological therapies have been found effective in reducing fracture risk, with zoledronate having the most significant effect on increasing lumbar spine bone mineral density. Methods: We conducted a search without sample size restrictions in the PubMed and Web of Science databases to find prospective studies on the effectiveness of pharmacologic therapies in men with osteoporosis. The analysis comprised a total of eight published prospective studies. Result: After a thorough three-step screening process, eight papers were determined to have pertinent connections to our current in-depth investigation. Following that, a close reading of the entire text was conducted, with additional attention being paid to these specific passages. Conclusion: Studies on osteoporosis treatments, such as alendronate, risedronate, zoledronic acid, ibandronate, denosumab, teriparatide abaloparatide, and romosozumab, show effectiveness in improving bone mineral density in men with the condition. However, evidence is limited due to unexplained differences.

Abstract

Background: Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is the primary cause of early pregnancy hospitalization and sick leave, causing significant financial costs. Improper management can result in negative pregnancy outcomes and lower women's quality of life. Methods: The systematic review included research articles assessing the impact of educational intervention on women with NVP's quality of life, published from 2000 to 2023. Result: The review explores the impact of educational interventions on the quality of life of pregnant women in Iran, Taiwan, Norway, and the UK. The studies, conducted in hospitals, health centers, and social media, measured QOL using tools like NVPQOL, SF36.v2, EQ-5D, and QoLS. Five of the seven RCT studies reported a significant effect. Conclusion: The study explores the impact of educational interventions on pregnant women experiencing nausea and vomiting related-pregnancy (NVP) and their quality of life. It found that exercise education and strong support networks can improve QOL. However, factors like pain, depression, low education, younger age, and lack of a partner can negatively affect QOL.

Abstract

Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been used to treat acute bleeding in trauma-related settings, with low side effects. However, the benefits of prophylactic TXA use remain unclear, raising the possibility of administration before PPH diagnosis. Methods: The study followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and developed a systematic review and meta-analysis of blinded and randomized clinical trials to determine the impact of prophylactic TXA use on bleeding volume in cesarean or vaginal deliveries, focusing on English studies. Result: TXA showed significant effects on post-partum bleeding reduction, with lower hemoglobin variation compared to the control group. However, some studies reported mild side effects and the effect was even greater in cesarean delivery. Risk factors for bleeding were considered. Conclusion: Promising outcomes have been observed in lowering blood component requirements and preventing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) with TXA, a prophylactic treatment for PPH. Even though the use of uterotonics was reduced, a recent multicenter RCT conducted in France was unable to demonstrate a meaningful decline in PPH diagnoses. The study also showed a great deal of variability in TXA use and how it affected cesarean deliveries.
