To compare the clinical effects of applying a 3D-printed ACT titanium trabecular intervertebral fusion cage and a Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cage in posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). ⋯ Applying a 3D-printed ACT titanium trabecular intervertebral fusion cage or PEEK cage in PLIF has the potential to improve clinical symptoms of patients with degenerative lumbar diseases, and restore the Cobb angle and intervertebral height. 3D-printed ACT titanium trabecular intervertebral fusion cage can accelerate intervertebral fusion without increasing operation related complications.

To compare and analyze the clinical effectiveness of conventional puncture hematoma drainage and stereotactic robot-guided puncture hematoma drainage in managing intracerebral hemorrhage. ⋯ Stereotactic robot-guided puncture hematoma drainage is a dependable and safe operative method to treat patients who had intracerebral hemorrhage, resulting in various benefits such as short length of operation, less injury, less inflammatory reaction, high hematoma clear efficiency and satisfactory recovery of neurological function.
-
To compare the outcomes of modified extended right lobe graft (MERLG) and modified right lobe graft (MRLG) in living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). ⋯ With appropriate technical expertise, MERLGs are technically safe and feasible in LDLT donors without any added risks. MERLGs also yielded better outcomes in sick recipients.

A report on the cross-cultural adaptation and validation process of the Rome IV Diagnostic Questionnaire for children aged four years and over into Saudi-Arabian Arabic for use in assessing the prevalence of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children in Saudi Arabia. ⋯ This study provides a detailed report on the translation process of the tested ROME- IV Diagnostic Questionnaire for children aged four years and over into Saudi Arabic following Rome Foundation guidelines. The results of the preliminary test should encourage researchers and clinicians in Saudi Arabia to utilize the tool for non-invasive diagnosis of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children.
