Background Mass drug administration of azithromycin to children in sub-Saharan Africa has been shown to improve survival in high-mortality settings. The period after hospital discharge is a time of elevated risk unaddressed by current interventions and might p…
Digestive and liver disease : official journal of the Italian Society of Gastroenterology and the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver
Background Great efforts by the scientific community are rapidly expanding the evidence on the clinical interplay between Covid-19 and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Aims We performed a systematic review of the literature on published Covid-19 cases occurri…
BMC neurology
Background Repetitive sensory stimulation (RSS) adapts the timing of stimulation protocols used in cellular studies to induce synaptic plasticity. In healthy subjects, RSS leads to widespread sensorimotor cortical reorganization paralleled by improved sensorim…

Cerebral endovascular neurosurgery has transformed the way we manage cerebrovascular disease. Several landmark trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of endovascular techniques leading to continued technological development and applications for various dis…
The journal of nutrition, health & aging
Objectives Proper nutrition and physical exercises are essential to prevent frailty in older adults. Proper masticatory performance and oral function may influence on physical activities as well since the mouth is the entrance of nutrition and digestion. Thus,…
Thrombosis research
Objective Coagulation and inflammatory parameters are mildly altered in children with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection, and laboratory evidence of a proinflammatory and procoagulant state has been noted in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). …
Photodiagnosis and photodynamic therapy
Background SARS-CoV-2, which causes the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), presents high rates of morbidity and mortality around the world. The search to eliminate SARS-CoV-2 is ongoing and urgent. This systematic review seeks to assess whether photodynamic thera…

Objective To assess the effects of earlier vs. later re-initiation of enteral feeds after necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Study design We reviewed the literature to assess timing of enteral feeding after NEC using fixed effects models. Results Three studies m…
Seizure
Background Growing evidence of neurologic involvement seen in COVID-19 infection necessitates the pooling of neurodiagnostic findings like electroencephalography (EEG) that may guide clinical management. The objective of this study was to review the EEG findin…
Journal of surgical oncology
Background Even though meshes and matrices are widely used in breast reconstruction, there is little high-quality scientific evidence for their risks and benefits. The aim of this study was to compare first-year surgical complication rates in implant-based imm…
