    Abstract Objectives: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we sought to identify whether extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) or ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) is the most appropriate method for treating ureteral stones.
    Methods: We identified relevant literature by searching the Google Scholar and PubMed databases in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. We focused on the outcomes of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy and ureteroscopic lithotripsy. For each method, we compared complications, hematuria, perforation, failure, stone clearance, initial stone-free, operating time, stone size, auxiliary procedures, and overall stone-free outcomes. Our analysis involved meta-analysis, heterogeneity testing, subgroup analysis, meta-regression sensitivity analyses, Egger's tests, Smoothed Variance Egger's (SVE) testing, and Smoothed Variance Thomson (SVT) testing. In addition, we detected publication bias for all outcomes related to the two procedures.
    Results: Based on ten eligible studies, we conducted a meta-analysis on a total of 1509 patients. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy was used to treat 677 patients; the remaining 832 patients were treated by the ureteroscopic lithotripsy procedure. Considering the meta-analysis statistical parameters including odds ratio (OR), standardized mean difference (SMD), Q, I
    Conclusions: Analysis indicated that ESWL and URSL procedures are essential for the treatment of ureteral stones, even though the perforation rate is higher for URSL than for ESWL. Overall stone-free rates were better for the URSL procedure.

    Abstract Background: Several meta-analysis studies have been reported in the literature on the incidence of psychopathological conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. This investigation aims to compile and analyze the findings of previously published meta-analysis research, as shown by the present meta-analysis of previous meta-analysis studies.
    Methods: The PubMed and Scopus databases were searched from 1 January 2019 to 30 May 2022. The procedure was carried out according to the PRISMA flow chart and the qualities of the identified studies were analyzed using AMSTAR 2. Heterogeneities and risk of bias were assessed using the Meta-MUMS tool. The corresponding results, forest and funnel plots of the psychological consequences of COVID-19 were synthesized.
    Results: Eleven meta-analysis studies were included. Random-effects meta-analysis of anxiety and depression showed (ER = 0.318 p-value < 0.001, ER = 0.295 p-value < 0.001) high heterogeneities (I
    Conclusion: The data from the current meta-analysis showed different psychological disorders of COVID-19 during the pandemic. Clinicians should be aware of the prevalence with which COVID-19-infected patients experience emotional distress, anxiety, fatigue, and PTSD. About half of the included systematic reviews (SRs)/meta-analyses (MAs) suffered from poorer methodological quality and increased risk of bias, reducing confidence in the findings. There must be more SRs/MAs and high-quality clinical trials conducted to confirm these findings.

    Abstract Background. Today, virtual reality bronchoscopy simulation technique is used increasingly. So, it is essential to validate the effectiveness of its training. The performance of training can be evaluated by synthesis of published works. Methods. Based on PRISMA guideline, we systematically searched PubMed and Scopus databases until April 15, 2022 and obtained the eligible articles. The included studies were English articles that performed virtual reality simulation by flexible and rigid bronchoscopy for novices. Random effect model meta-analysis was performed with heterogeneity tests, Egger’s test, SVE, SVT, and subgroup analysis. Results. Sixteen studies comprising two RCTs, seven prospective studies, and seven observational studies were evaluated. Meta-analysis and forest plots showed significant P-values in novices, which indicated virtual reality simulation technique is more effective. Heterogeneity tests showed high heterogeneity in studies of four groups. Published year subgroup analysis explained heterogeneity between studies. Funnel plots and Eggers' test indicated no publication bias between the two groups. Conclusion. Simulation-based virtual reality bronchoscopy training is effective in novices but does not reach experts' skills. Practical Implications. The process of bronchoscopy is critical in the evaluation of the lungs. In the past, it was generally taught by having students do it on people. Despite the low danger, this may be stressful for trainees. Using virtual reality as a simulator, this research aimed to analyze the abilities of experts and novices in medical education, as well as the effectiveness of virtual reality in medical education. A new training option for bronchoscopy simulation training can be considered for examination of the airways, particularly in the future years, stressing the need of continued medical education

    Abstract COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was reported by the world health organization in late December 2019. As an unexplained respiratory disease epidemic, which is similar to respiratory syndrome coronavirus SARS-CoV, it rapidly spread all over the world. The study aims to compare several parameters of COVID-19 and SARS-CoV infectious diseases in terms of incidence, mortality, and recovery rates. The publicly available dataset Worldometer (extracted on April 5, 2020) confirmed by WHO report was available for meta-analysis purposes using the Meta-MUMS tool. And, the reported outcomes of the analysis used a random-effects model to evaluate the event rate, and risk ratios thorough subgroup analysis forest plots. Seventeen countries for COVID-19 and eight countries of SARS infections, including COVID-19 group n = 1124243, and SARS-CoV group n = 8346, were analyzed. In this meta-analysis, a random effect model of relations of incidence, mortality, and recovery rates of COVID-19 and SARS world infections were determined. The meta-analysis and forest plots of two viral world infections showed that the incidence rate of COVID-19 infection is more than SARS infections, while recovery and mortality event rates of SARS-CoV are more than COVID-19 infection. And subgroup analysis showed that the mortality and recovery rates were higher in both SARS-CoV wand COVID-19 in comparison to incidence and mortality rates, respectively. In conclusion, the meta-analysis approach on the abovementioned dataset revealed the epidemiological and statistical analyses for comparing COVID-19 and SARS-CoV outbreaks.

    Abstract Purpose: Generally, guiding clinical practice concentrates on the statistical techniques implemented for performing the diagnostic meta-analysis and test accuracy studies in a specific field of research. This study aims to implement a comprehensive diagnostic meta-analysis tool, which is user-friendly, free, and simple, and can be useful for diagnostic and bivariate model analysis purposes. Methods: The Meta-MUMS DTA tool for meta-analysis developed in Matlab R2013a for the Microsoft Windows operating systems (32-bit and 64-bit). Meta-DiSc, Open-MetaAnalyst, Stata (Deeks' test) were the tools used for comparison purposes. Results: The features include determination of heterogeneity and computations of chi-square (Q, df, and p-value), I2, Γ2, and Spearman correlation tests, subgroup analysis, meta-regression techniques to explore the relationships of study characteristics and accuracy estimates and performing statistical pooling of sensitivities, specificities, likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratios on fixed- and random-effects models as well as providing figures for forest plots with high quality. The Egger's regression test (along with its smooth version SVE and SVT), Deeks' regression test with funnel plots, and trim and fill were the tools for detecting publication bias. Bivariate model analysis of sensitivity and specificity accuracy is also available in this software. Publication bias and bivariate model analysis are super-advantageous of the proposed software. Moreover, a worked example to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of mammography and magnetic resonance imaging in breast cancer is proposed. Conclusion: The Meta-MUMS DTA tool shows its advantages for upcoming diagnostic meta-analysis studies, especially in radiology science and hopefully may become a platform for teaching purposes.

    Abstract Background: There are several studies reporting high success rates for surgical and nonsurgical treatments of empyema separately. The aim of current retrospective cohort study is to find the best treatment in low socio-economic areas.
    Material and methods: A total of 149 patients were treated in the referring hospital from January 2002 to December 2008. The current retrospective cohort study was carried out by nonsurgical (medically & thoracenthesis & chest tube drainage with or without fibrinolytic agents) and surgical (VATS &open thoracotomy decortication methods) procedures in single center performed in thoracic and respiratory medicine wards. The independent
    Results: The complete cure and mortality rates for 130 patients were 27% (35 out of 130 patients) and 0.3% (1 out of 130 patients), respectively. Thirteen out of 149 patients that were estimated to be at stage II underwent VATS decortication. The results showed zero success rates for this procedure which was then converted to open thoracotomy decortication. And, 113 patients who underwent thoracotomy decortication had a cure rate of 96.4% (109 patients) and mortality rate of 1.8% (2 patients). Four (3.5%) patients needed thoracoplasty, 2 died and 2 (1.8%) needed open window thoracostomy resulted in empyema necessitans that remained uncured. Total hospitalization lengths for the patients treated by tube thoracostomy and thoracotomy decortication were (15.4 ± 2.1) and (6.2 ± 1.8) days (P < 0.001), respectively. The success rates between surgical and nonsurgical treatments were 98.2% and 27.1%. And, the difference between them was significant (P < 0.001).
    Conclusion: Because of the advanced stages of empyema in our patients, thoracotomy decortication procedure is often the first rank choice with success rates higher than nonsurgical techniques. However, nowadays, the success rates of nonsurgical and VATS management of empyema thoracis are mostly reported in the literature.
