Early Urinary Potassium Level Predicts High-dose Methotrexate Elimination Delay in Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma.

Background/aim: Treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) includes high dose methotrexate-based polychemotherapy (HD-MTX). This study aimed to identify early predictive factors of methotrexate (MTX) delayed elimination.

Patients And Methods: We prospectively included all patients with newly-diagnosed PCNSL.

Examining the Effects of Strength Training with Load Progression on Sleep Parameters and Mental Health in College Students.

 To compare the effects of strength training with load progression after 4 weeks on sleep parameters and mental health in college students.  A total of 17 university students (11 women, 6 men), ranging from 18 to 21 years old, were randomized into a strength training group (STG) and a control group (CG). The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), insomnia severity questionnaire, hospital anxiety and depression (HAD) scale, profile of mood states (POMS), and chronotype were used to evaluate the main outcomes.
