Summary: This article summarizes the changes and influencing factors of thyroid function in multiple pregnancies. Through systematic searching and screening, a total of 12 relevant studies were included. The results show that thyroid function in multiple pregnancies differs from that in single pregnancies, mainly in the early stages of pregnancy. Separate reference ranges are needed to accurately diagnose thyroid diseases in multiple pregnancies.

Summary: This systematic review explores the assessment and management of pregnant trauma patients, providing evidence-based recommendations to guide general surgeons. It suggests the use of laboratory testing, fetal monitoring, tranexamic acid, radiographic studies, and perimortem cesarean section to improve maternal and fetal mortality. The study recommends prompt delivery by perimortem cesarean section, TXA administration, CT scans, and a minimum observation time of 4 hours for injured pregnant patients.

Summary: This article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of risk factors and trends in in-hospital mortality among elderly TBI patients through systematic review and meta-analysis. The study will include recent research data and analyze risk factors such as age, gender, cause of injury, severity of injury, neurosurgical intervention, and preinjury antithrombotic therapy. Dose-response meta-analysis for the relationship between age and in-hospital mortality risk will be conducted if sufficient data is available.
