Objective: To evaluate the role of Rescue BCG in the treatment of BCG-unresponsive nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), in order to inform clinical decision-making especially when access to alternative therapies is limited.
Methods: From an institutional database, patients who met the criteria of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC between 2002 and 2023 were identified and sorted into 2 cohorts: those who received additional BCG therapy immediately after BCG-unresponsive designation and those who received alternative treatments such as intravesical chemotherapy and radical cystectomy. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).

Background: It is crucial to assess a patient's quality of recovery after major surgery. This study aims to compare the effect of neuraxial morphine and bilateral erector spinae plane block on quality of recovery in the first 48 postoperative hours in patients undergoing open upper abdominal surgeries.
Methods: This prospective, triple-arm, randomized study was performed to compare the effect of neuraxial morphine (intrathecal morphine, thoracic epidural) and erector spinae plane block on postoperative recovery.

Background And Aims: Ultrasound-guided deep serratus anterior plane (SAP) block has recently gained popularity as an analgesic technique in breast surgery. However, the effectiveness of ultrasound depends largely on the quality of the equipment used, and the technique can be complicated by patient-related factors such as obesity. We hypothesized that the simpler open approach to deep SAP block would be non-inferior to the ultrasound-guided approach in providing analgesia for modified radical mastectomy.

Background: The optimal treatment strategy in early psoriatic arthritis remains unknown. We aimed to assess whether the combination of methotrexate and golimumab plus corticosteroids is superior to methotrexate plus corticosteroids in reducing disease activity in early, untreated psoriatic arthritis.
Methods: We did a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single-centre study in adults with treatment-naïve active psoriatic arthritis.

Objective: Non-acute subdural hematomas (NASDHs) often recur or persist, particularly among older patients with comorbidities. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAe) has emerged as a promising primary treatment alternative. Dual-lumen balloon microcatheters significantly reduce the risk of reflux, which is a limitation of single-lumen microcatheters.
