Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy and safety of phenobarbital for benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis: A prospective randomized controlled study.
previous studies have shown that phenobarbital (PB) is a effective and safe drug in the treatment of benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis (CwG), but there is a lack of large sample prospective randomized controlled study of different doses. This study was a prospective randomized controlled study on the efficacy and safety of different doses of phenobarbital for CwG. There has been no similar study. ⋯ it is suggested that PB 10 mg/kg intravenously should be used as soon as possible for CwG, which has high effectiveness and safety.

Randomized Controlled TrialPostoperative Analgesic Efficacy and Safety of Ropivacaine Plus Diprospan for Preemptive Scalp Infiltration in Patients Undergoing Craniotomy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
Preemptive injection of local anesthetics can prevent postoperative pain at the incision site, but the analgesic effect is insufficient and is maintained only for a relatively short period of time. Diprospan is a combination of quick-acting betamethasone sodium phosphate and long-acting betamethasone dipropionate. Whether Diprospan as an adjuvant to local anesthetic can achieve postcraniotomy pain relief has not been studied yet. ⋯ Infiltration of ropivacaine and Diprospan can achieve satisfactory postoperative pain relief after craniotomy; it is a simple, easy, and safe technique, worth clinical promotion.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Cardiovascular outcomes in adults with hypertension with evening versus morning dosing of usual antihypertensives in the UK (TIME study): a prospective, randomised, open-label, blinded-endpoint clinical trial.
Studies have suggested that evening dosing with antihypertensive therapy might have better outcomes than morning dosing. The Treatment in Morning versus Evening (TIME) study aimed to investigate whether evening dosing of usual antihypertensive medication improves major cardiovascular outcomes compared with morning dosing in patients with hypertension. ⋯ British Heart Foundation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Switching to tenofovir alafenamide versus continued therapy in chronic hepatitis B patients who were treated with entecavir: A prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled study.
Entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) have been used widely to treat patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, but it is still unclear how best to use these drugs. Although some studies compared the efficacies of treatment switch from ETV to TAF, there has been no randomized study. ⋯ The efficacy and safety were comparable in the TAF-switching group and the ETV-continuing group. Because the present study was conducted in limited patients, a larger study will be required.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Long Term Outcomes of Parenchyma-Sparing and Oncologic Resections in Patients with Non-Functional Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors <3cm in a Large Multi-Center Cohort.
The role of parenchyma-sparing resections (PSR) and lymph node dissection in small (<3 cm) nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) is unlikely to be studied in a prospective randomized clinical trial. By combining data from 4 high-volume pancreatic centers we compared postoperative and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent PSR with patients who underwent oncologic resections. ⋯ In small <3 cm nonfunctional PNETs, PSRs and lymph node-sparing resections are associated with lower blood loss, shorter operative times, and lower complication rates when compared to oncologic resections, and have similar long-term oncologic outcomes.
