BACKGROUND With local recurrence of rectal cancer continuing to decrease, distant recurrence is becoming a major concern, especially for patients with low- and intermediate-risk stage II/III rectal cancer. Therefore, a new treatment strategy is warranted for these patients. This single-arm phase II trial aimed to assess the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) in low- and intermediate-risk stage II/III rectal cancer and explore candidate radiological and clinical parameters for early predict...
BACKGROUND Redundant publication of systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRs/MAs) on the same topic presents an increasing burden for clinicians. The aim of this study was to describe variabilities in effect size and methodological quality of overlapping surgery-related SRs/MAs and to investigate factors associated with their postpublication citations. METHODS PubMed/MEDLINE was searched to identify SRs/MAs of RCTs on thoracoabdominal surgeries published in 2015. Previous SRs/MAs on the same to...
BACKGROUND The pressure on liver-transplant programmes has expanded the usage of extended-criteria allografts. Machine perfusion may be better than conventional static cold storage (SCS) in alleviating ischaemia-reperfusion injury in this setting. Recipient outcomes with hypothermic or normothermic machine perfusion were assessed against SCS here. METHODS A search in MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus was conducted in February 2021. Primary studies investigating ex vivo machine perfusion were assessed f...
