The efficacy of different segments fixation for treatment thoracolumbar fractures: A Bayesian network meta-analysis.
We did this network meta-analysis to comprehensively compare the efficacy of different segments [intermediate segment (IS), short segment (SS) and long segment (LS)] in the fixation of thoracolumbar fractures. ⋯ IS was associated with a significant reduction in SCA, implant failure rate, and visual analogue scale compared to SS and LS, while having the most favorable impact on AVHR among all the treatments assessed.

Acupuncture is used for treating various disorders, but its effects on temporomandibular disorder (TMD) remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for TMD via a systematic review of randomized clinical trials. ⋯ Acupuncture in TMD significantly improved outcomes versus active controls and when add-on treatments were applied. However, as the quality of evidence was determined to be low, well-designed clinical trials should be conducted in the future.

Daratumumab as a monoclonal antibody has shown promising results in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, the efficacy and safety of daratumumab-based regimens compared to control regimens have not been fully established. ⋯ Our results suggest that daratumumab-based regimens are effective in the treatment of RRMM, improving progression-free survival, minimal residual disease, and overall response rate. However, there is an increased risk of pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infections, and diarrhea. Further studies are needed to determine the long-term safety and efficacy of daratumumab in the treatment of multiple myeloma.
