Evaluation of Interventions to Reduce Shoulder Pain Following Laparoscopic Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
✅ The results of this meta-analysis demonstrate that intraoperative interventions, such as Peritoneal Suction Drainage, injection of Intraperitoneal Hydrocortisone with Bupivacaine, and warm and humidified insufflation carbon dioxide, can reduce the severity of SP in patients with LS. In addition, clinical trials with different interventions are needed to compare the efficacy and find effective interventions for SP management in patients with LS.

✅ The results of the present study showed that both duloxetine and high tone therapies are safe and effective methods for neuropathic pain relief.
The Immediate Effects of Spiral Kinesio Taping on In-toeing Gait Pattern in Children with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy
✅ Spiral KT with 100% of available tension immediately improved the spatio-temporal indices of in-toeing gait pattern in children with spastic diplegic CP. Hence, clinicians can use the applied method to improve the gait pattern in this group of CP children.

✅ Based on the results, the factors such as age, tachycardia, and some CT-scan findings (SAH, ICH, and SDH), as well as high coagulation profile (INR, PTT) and low GCS on admission, were important variables to the prognosis of TBI patients. During hospitalization, high values of BUN, PR, Cr, FBS, PT, and INR and low values of GCS, RR, and PH were associated with a worthwhile outcome. In addition, high changes in BUN, GCS, RR, PR, and BP during hospitalization should be considered a worthwhile prognosis.
Evaluation of the Effect of Three Different Tidal Volumes on Internal Jugular Vein Collapsibility Index in Hypovolemic Mechanically-Ventilated Patients Before and After Fluid Therapy
✅ The results of this study showed that the internal jugular collapsibility index does not correlate with the tidal volume in hypovolemic patients and after fluid therapy.
Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Healthy Controls in North-East of Iran
✅ It can be concluded that rs11061971 (+219 A>T) polymorphism is associated with T2D incidence. The findings suggest that AT and TT genotypes in this gene compared to AA genotype increase the risk of diabetes.
Assessment of Interleukin-10, 20, and Matrix Metalloproteinase-7 in Iraqi Patients Infected with COVID-19
✅ Patients with COVID-19 disease had IL-10, IL-20, and MMP-7 levels that were noticeably higher than those found in healthy controls.
Evaluation of the Effects of Vitamin C in Prognosis of Patients with Sepsis in Zanjan Vali- e-Asr Hospital in 2020
✅ Our findings demonstrated that no clear statistically significant difference was found between the two groups of control and vitamin C received groups; nonetheless for precise conclusion more studies with larger groups are required.
The Relationship of Cadmium, Nickel, and Manganese Trace Elements with Oxidative Stress in the Semen of Infertile Men
, Mohammad Sajjad Yavari Bazl , Khadijeh Baranizadeh , Ali Heshmati , Gholamreza Shafiee *
✅ Mn as a component of SOD enzyme is necessary for normal sperm functions. In contrast, high levels of Cd and Ni are toxic for human sperm and negatively correlated with TAC and sperm parameters.
The Influence of TNFRSF1B, PADI4, and miRNA 499 Gene Polymorphisms on Susceptibility and Responsiveness to TNF Inhibitors in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
✅ Variant genotypes of TNFRII (Rs1061622) and PADI4 (rs1748033), may be associated with an increased risk of RA while PADI4 (rs1748033) and miRNA-499a (rs3746444) polymorphism may be associated with non-response to infliximab.

✅ Ery extract, as a safe herbal extract, has anti-adipogenic activity and merits more investigation as a candidate for developing an anti-obesity drug or supplement.
Evaluation of the Effect of Capparis spinosa L. on Cisplatin-Induced Liver Injury in Male Rats based on Persian Medicine
, Seyed Hojjat Hosseini , Koorosh Kamali , Saeed Sardari , Negin Parsamanesh , Narjes Khavasi *
✅ Based on pathology results, treatment with C. spinosa seed extract may be helpful in preventing cisplatin hepatotoxicity.
✅ The present study suggests that, in addition to cTnI, CK-MB, and MYO, many other mediators such as CRP, H-FABP, PCT, and cytokines are sensitive to the diagnosis of MI. Furthermore, using human monoclonal antibodies that selectively neutralize cytokines may provide additional insight into cytokines-targeted therapies.
