Craniopharyngioma is the most challenging brain tumor with a high recurrence rate. Some scholars have shown that endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) can achieve a higher total tumor resection rate and significantly reduce the incidence of complications and mortality. However, there is still no consensus on the surgical approach for recurrent craniopharyngioma. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EEA in the treatment of recurrent craniopharyngioma. ⋯ International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO): CRD42020199860.

Screening is an effective strategy for preventing and controlling the cervical cancer. Unfortunately, women are often less likely to adhere to cervical cancer screening procedures. Related research shows that the telephone-based health education model can improve the compliance of screening. At present, however, this practice is lack of persuasion. Therefore, this study makes a systematic meta-analysis on whether the telephone-based health education model can improve the compliance of screening by women. ⋯ The findings of this study will produce comprehensive evidence to identify whether the telephone-based health education model can improve women's compliance with cervical cancer screening.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is an important public health challenge, which can be prevented and treated. COPD is an important public health challenge, both preventable and treatable. In China, Maxing Shigan Decoction (MSD) has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine compound for the treatment of respiratory diseases for thousands of years. In order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MSD in the treatment of COPD, we need to conduct meta-analysis and systematic reviews. ⋯ DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/H5UNB.
