Clinical efficacy and safety of colistin treatment in patients with pulmonary infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Acinetobacter baumannii: a meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that colistin may be as efficacious and safe as standard antibiotics for the treatment of pulmonary infection. PMID: 25861288 [PubMed]

The accuracy of prehospital diagnosis of acute cerebrovascular accidents: an observational study.
CONCLUSIONS: Emergency physicians appear to be sensitive in diagnosing CVAs but their overall accuracy does not seem high. They tend to overuse the diagnosis of TIA. Constant education and adoption of stroke screening scales may be beneficial for emergency care systems based both on physicians and on paramedics. PMID: 26170845 [PubMed]

Toll-like receptor 4 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis and review.
CONCLUSIONS: The GG homozygote carriers of TLR4 Asp299Gly and TT homozygote carriers of TLR4 Thr399Ile polymorphisms might be correlated with an increased risk of CRC, suggesting they may serve as genetic risk factors for CRC. PMID: 26322080 [PubMed]

Diagnostic accuracy of loop-mediated isothermal amplification in detection of Clostridium difficile in stool samples: a meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The LAMP meets the minimum desirable characteristics of a diagnostic test of SEN, SPE and other measures of accuracy in the diagnosis of CD, and it is suitable as a rapid, effective and reliable stand-alone diagnostic test for diagnosis of CDI, potentially decreasing morbidity and nosocomial spread of CD. PMID: 26528332 [PubMed]

Comparison of intra-articular versus intravenous application of tranexamic acid in total knee arthroplasty: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
CONCLUSIONS: In comparison with intravenous application of TXA, intra-articular application had a comparable effect on reducing blood loss and the transfusion rate without increasing the complication rate. PMID: 28507566 [PubMed]

Laparoscopic and open liver resection - a literature review with meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic resection of liver yields complications rates comparable to open resection, but the results are based on low quality evidence from nonrandomised studies. PMID: 28507565 [PubMed]

Can coffee consumption lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease? A literature review.
Authors: Wierzejska R Abstract In light of the fact that the number of elderly citizens in society is steadily increasing, the search for dietary factors which might prolong mental agility is growing in significance. Coffee, together with its main ingredient, caffeine, has been the focus of much attention from various researchers, as data on its beneficial effects on human health continue to accumulate. Most reports indicate that moderate coffee consumption may in fact lower the risk for common neurodegenerative conditions, i.e. Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Regardless, due to their complex pathogenesis as ...

Inositol-6 phosphate inhibits the mTOR pathway and induces autophagy-mediated death in HT-29 colon cancer cells.
Conclusions: Our results clearly indicate that IP6 induces autophagy by inhibiting the Akt/mTOR pathway. PMID: 30393482 [PubMed]

Genetic polymorphisms of MBL2 and tuberculosis susceptibility: a meta-analysis of 22 case-control studies.
Conclusions: The MBL2 rs1800451 polymorphism is associated with decreased TB risk in the general population, and A/O, rs7096206, rs1800450 and rs1800451 are likely to be associated with the risk for some specific ethnic groups. PMID: 30393476 [PubMed]

Association of circulating cystatin C levels with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions: Overall, our study suggests that patients with T2DM have an elevated circulating Cys C level compared to healthy controls, and it is associated with race, age, gender, study sample size and disease duration. Further investigations are still needed to explore the causal relationship of aberrant Cys C concentrations in T2DM. PMID: 32399114 [PubMed]

Internal drainage versus external drainage in palliation of malignant biliary obstruction: a meta-analysis and systematic review.
Conclusions: The current meta-analysis indicates that external drainage is better than internal drainage for malignant biliary obstruction in terms of the preoperative cholangitis rate, the incidence of stent dysfunction and total morbidity, etc. However, the findings need to be confirmed by randomized controlled trials. PMID: 32542075 [PubMed]

Active surveillance and focal ablation for small renal masses: a better solution for comorbid patients.
Authors: Wośkowiak P, Lewicka K, Bureta A, Salagierski M Abstract The natural history of small renal masses (SRM) is still not well understood and they are frequently incidentally diagnosed in elderly patients. Therefore, there is a need for less invasive options sparing the patient from the side-effects related to conventional surgical treatment. PubMed and Medline database search was performed to look for new findings on active surveillance and focal therapy for SRM. Sixty-one articles published between 2002 and 2018 were selected for the purpose of the review. There is growing evidence confirming the safety of ...
