Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) bacteria can cause oxidative stress and the production of inflammatory cytokines, creating an environment that enhances tumour formation, progression and metastasis. Epidemiological studies have found a link between lung cancer and tuberculosis (TB), but the cellular mechanism is still unclear.

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly used for temporary or permanent treatment. Psychiatric comorbidities are common in patients with ESHF and may affect treatment outcomes, but the relationship between sociodemographic, clinical, and psychiatric characteristics remains unclear.

Patients And Methods: In this retrospective study, patients who experienced postmenopausal fragility fractures of the distal radius, proximal femur, or lumbar vertebrae between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2023, were included. Obstetric histories, along with standard FRAX parameters, were obtained by phone interviews.
Article Synopsis
- The research involved 80 children aged 5-12 undergoing adenotonsillectomy, divided into two groups: one where kids chose the accompanying parent and another where parents chose.
- Results showed no significant difference in ED scores or incidence between the two groups, but children in the group that chose their parent reported lower anxiety levels during anesthesia induction.
Objectives: Solid-organ transplant recipients have high rates of invasive fungal infections. Candida species are the most commonly isolated fungi. Our aim was to identify risk factors, clinical presentations, and outcomes of candidemia in solid-organ transplant recipients.
