Cardiovascular outcomes and safety assessment of SGLT2i on heart failure patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are used in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus and show promise in improving outcomes in heart failure patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to quantify the benefits and side effects of SGLT2i in heart failure patients with a reduced ejection fraction.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar with keywords such as "Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor," "Myocardial Infarction," and "Cardiovascular.

TAPP versus lichtenstein techniques for bilateral inguinal hernia repair: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. However, very few studies report data on the laparoscopic advantages of bilateral inguinal hernia (BIH) repair over the open approach. Therefore, this meta-analysis was conducted to compare the effectiveness of the laparoscopic trans-abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) technique with the open Lichtenstein repair technique (OLR) for the repair of BIH.
