Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Comparison of clinical efficacy of laparoscopic splenectomy versus open splenectomy for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: A meta-analysis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) and open splenectomy (OS) in the treatment of Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. ⋯ The therapeutic effect of LS was the same as that of OS in Overall response Complication Accessory spleen, while The operative time was longer, the Estimated blood loss was less, and the postoperative length of stay was shorter.

Meta Analysis
The impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on liver injury in China: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
The evidence for the incidence and severity of liver injury in Chinese patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to summarize the incidence of liver injury and the differences between liver injury markers among different patients with COVID-19 in China. ⋯ There is a certain risk of liver injury in Chinese patients with COVID-19, and the risk and degree of liver injury are related to the severity of COVID-19.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Open reduction and plate fixation versus sling in treatment of mid-shaft fractures of clavicle: A prospective randomized study protocol.
For this prospective randomized clinical trial, it is implemented for the comparison of the outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation versus the sling treatment for mid-shaft clavicle fractures. ⋯ It was hypothesized that in the case of clavicular comminuted mid-shaft fracture, for the open reduction and internal fixation, its nonunion rate was lower and satisfaction rate was higher, although there were a variety of complications.

Meta Analysis
Music-based intervention to reduce aggressive behavior in children and adolescents: A meta-analysis.
We aimed to evaluate the effect of music-based intervention on the aggressive behavior in children and adolescents, and made a comparison of music medicine and music therapy. ⋯ Music-based intervention seemed to be more efficacious for reducing aggression and increasing self-control in children and adolescents, especially music therapy.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of progressive neuromuscular stabilization exercise on the support surface on patients with high obesity with lumbar instability: A double-blinded randomized controlled trial.
Intensive neuromuscular stabilization exercise on highly obese patients with low back pain results in positive effects of body fat decline and prevention of complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of progressive neuromuscular stabilization exercise on unstable surface on pain, motor function, psychosocial factors, balance, and abdominal contraction with highly obese patients with lumbar instability. ⋯ Progressive neuromuscular stabilization exercise program on unstable surfaces demonstrated to be an effective and clinically useful method to decrease pain level, increase motor function, balance, and transverse abdominis muscle thickness in contraction and contraction rate for highly obese patients with lumbar instability.
