- Comparing dextrose prolotherapy with other substances in knee osteoarthritis pain relief: A systematic review(2022) CORTEZ, Vitor Santos; MORAES, Walter Augusto; TABA, Joao Victor; CONDI, Alberto; SUZUKI, Milena Oliveira; NASCIMENTO, Fernanda Sayuri do; PIPEK, Leonardo Zumerkorn; MATTOS, Vitoria Carneiro de; TORSANI, Matheus Belloni; MEYER, Alberto; HSING, Wu Tu; IUAMOTO, Leandro RyuchiThe objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of dextrose-prolotherapy with other substances for pain relief in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis. The literature screening was done in January 2021 through Medline (PubMed), EMBASE, and Database of the National Institute of Health based on the following criteria: ran-domized clinical trials that subjected patients with primary knee osteoarthritis who underwent treatment with dextrose-prolotherapy and other substances for pain relief. Paired reviewers independently identified 3381 articles and included 8 trials that met the eligibility criteria. According to the findings of this review, participants that underwent dextrose-prolotherapy showed improvements between baseline and posterior assessments and when compared to saline injections, but when compared to other substances, the results were not clear. Although dextrose-prolotherapy is a useful treatment method by itself, it is still not possible to clearly affirm that it is supe-rior or inferior to its counterparts. There is an urgent need for further studies to bring more evidence to the field.
- MICRObiota on BILIOpancreatic malignant diseases [MICROBILIO]: A systematic review(2022) MATTOS, Vitoria Carneiro de; NASCIMENTO, Fernanda Sayuri do; SUZUKI, Milena Oliveira; TABA, Joao Victor; PIPEK, Leonardo Zumerkorn; MORAES, Walter Augusto Fabio; CORTEZ, Vitor Santos; KUBRUSLY, Marcia Saldanha; TORSANI, Matheus Belloni; IUAMOTO, Leandro; HSING, Wu Tu; CARNEIRO-D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto; MEYER, Alberto; ANDRAUS, WellingtonIntroduction: The increase in the incidence of pancreatic and biliary cancers has attracted the search for methods of early detection of diseases and biomarkers. The authors propose to analyze new findings on the association between microbiota and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) or Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Methods: This systematic review was carried out according to the items of Preferred Reports for Systematic Reviews and Protocol Meta-Analysis (PRISMA-P). This study was registered by the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), identification code CRD42020192748 before the review was carried out. Articles were selected from the PUBMED, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases.Results: Most studies (86.67%) used 16s rRNA as a sequencing method. The main comorbidities found were diabe-tes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Many studies were limited by the small number of participants, but the biases were mostly low. There was very little concordance about the composition of the microbiome of different sites, for both case and control groups when compared to other studies' results. Bile sam-ple analysis was the one with a greater agreement between studies, as three out of four studies found Escherichia in cases of CCA.Conclusion: There was great disagreement in the characterization of both the microbiota of cases and control groups. Studies are still scarce, making it difficult to adequately assess the data in this regard. It was not possible to specify any marker or to associate any genus of microbiota bacteria with PDAC or CCA.
