Introduction/background: The monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (MHR) and carotid intima media thickness may be used as a marker of inflammation and oxidative stres. This study is aimed to investigate the role of MHR in etiopathogenesis and to determine the association between MHR and carotid intima media thickness, fracture risk, and quality of life (QoL) in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients without comorbidities.
Methodology: Sixty osteoporosis, sixty osteopenia and sixty control groups were included in the prospective study evaluating postmenapausal women.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and also affects the musculoskeletal system.
Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the musculoskeletal symptoms, type of pain and effect on quality of life in patients presenting with pain after COVID-19.
Methods: This prospective, descriptive study included 97 patients aged 18 years or older who were diagnosed with COVID-19 based on a positive polymerase chain reaction test result, with or without musculoskeletal pain prior to COVID-19 infection.
Objectives: To evaluate urodynamic examination results and treatment methods of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) in patients with traumatic thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI).
Methods: Ninety-one patients with traumatic thoracic SCI were included in the study. The urodynamic analyses of the patients were conducted retrospectively using their laboratory outcomes.
Background: Psychological stressors may cause mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorders and fibromyalgia (FM) patients could be affected by these stressors.
Aim: To evaluate pain, disease activity, anxiety, depression, and neuropathic pain levels after COVID-19 infection in patients with FM.
Methods: According to the 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria, fifty-seven patients with FM alone and 77 patients with FM and recovering from COVID-19 infection were recruited to the study (group 1: patients with FM alone and group 2: patients with FM and recovering from COVID-19).

- The majority of patients were recommended specific medications; however, there were indications of inadequate management of these bladder issues, particularly in women and those with longer disease durations.
