Randomized Controlled Trial
Posterior quadratus lumborum block versus posterior transversus abdominis plane block for unilateral inguinal hernia surgery.
Ultrasound-guided truncal nerve blocks are increasingly used for postoperative pain relief after abdominal surgery. ⋯ It is concluded that both pQLB and pTAPB provided effective pain relief after unilateral inguinal hernia surgery. pQLB was superior to pTAPB due to lower pain scores and analgesic consumption.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The efficacy of bismuth quadruple therapy, sequential therapy, and hybrid therapy as a first-line regimen for Helicobacter pylori infection compared with standard triple therapy.
To compare the effectiveness of first-line Helicobacter pylori eradication treatments as standard triple therapy (sTT), bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (BQT), sequential therapy (ST), and hybrid therapy (HT). ⋯ In terms of eradication, HT had the best rate, whereas the lowest rate was in the sTT treatment group. This study does not recommend using sTT because of the low eradication rates. This study recommends HT for overcoming antibiotic resistance and better results.
