Review Meta Analysis
Prognostic role of BRAF mutation in low grade gliomas: a meta-analysis.
Newly emerged molecular markers in gliomas provide prognostic values beyond the capabilities of histologic classification. BRAF mutation, especially BRAF V600E, is common in a subset of gliomas and may represent a potential prognostic marker. The aim of our study is to investigate the potential use of BRAF mutations on the prognosis of low-grade glioma patients. ⋯ This mutation can be used as a prognostic factor in low-grade glioma, but additional studies are required to clarify its prognostic value taking into account other confounding factors.

Meta Analysis
The Effects of BIS-guided Anesthesia on Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients: -A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a form of delirium that affects patients who have undergone surgical procedures and anesthesia, usually peaking between 1 and 3 days after their operation. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine whether monitoring of depth of anesthesia may influence the incidence of POD. ⋯ BIS monitoring during surgery can reduce the incidence of POD in elderly patients. Whether BIS monitoring may reduce the incidence of POD in a single type of surgery needs further study.
