Randomized Controlled Trial
Short-term outcomes of reduced versus conventional ports in sleeve gastrectomy: A controlled clinical trial.
The study aims to compare the short-term outcomes of reduced ports sleeve gastrectomy versus conventional five ports sleeve gastrectomy in postoperative weight loss, morbidity rate, pain, and resolution of obesity-related diseases. ⋯ Reduced ports laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is safe and feasible in patients with body mass index (BMI) up to 50 kg/m2. It is cosmetically well appreciated with noticeable patient satisfaction. It should be practiced with regularity. Further trials should be considered in patients with high BMI (>50 kg/m2).

Randomized Controlled Trial
Short-term outcomes of double omentopexy in one anastomosis gastric bypass surgery: A controlled clinical trial.
This study aims to assess the efficacy of implementing a novel technique of reinforcement of gastric pouch and remnant stomach staple line with Double Omentopexy (DO) in patients undergoing One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) surgery and evaluate its impact in reducing the early postoperative complications. ⋯ Applying the DO technique may be a good measure to be added during OAGB to decrease the incidence of potential postoperative complications, especially the rate and severity of bleeding.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Comprehensive nursing program for children with epilepsy: A randomized controlled trial.
Epilepsy is a relatively common childhood neurological disease. Children with epilepsy need to take precautions to minimize seizure damage in order to adapt to seizures and manage them. ⋯ The intervention has the potential to support children with epilepsy. The program is easily accessible, cost-effective and could be implemented in epilepsy care rehabilitation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of the patients with diabetes mellitus using either insulin or oral antidiabetic drug in terms of difficult laryngoscopy: A randomized controlled study.
We aimed to evaluate the differences in the difficult laryngoscopy as a general anesthetic component in patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) using either insulin or oral antidiabetic drug (OADD). ⋯ Difficult laryngoscopy was more common in DM patients. Moreover, in patients with DM using insulin, VL use was more often and intubation duration was longer than in patients with DM using OADD.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Is testicular tissue resection effective in testicular compartment syndrome?
There have been many testicular losses due to testicular compartment syndrome (TCS). Studies are ongoing to lower the pressure within tunica vaginalis during TCS. ⋯ The injury secondary to TCS is lower when TTR is performed. In the cases in which tunica vaginalis graft could not be obtained or in the delayed cases, TTR may be useful.
