Background: Acyclovir treatment is an efficient prophylaxis to prevent varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Aims: This single center retrospective study tried to determine if the lymphocytes immunophenotyping could help to determine the duration of prophylaxis, and evaluated complications, and associated risk factors for VZV infection.
Methods And Results: Eighty-four children underwent an allogeneic HSCT, in which 77 received an acyclovir prophylaxis.
Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the differences in sprinting mechanics between high-speed treadmill and overground conditions, focusing on how an athlete’s training level and gender influence these differences.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 40 participants, including NCAA Division 1 sprinters and recreational runners, measuring kinematic variables like stride length and frequency during sprints.
- - The results indicated that treadmill sprinting affects kinematics, with elite sprinters showing better efficiency than recreational runners, and male athletes outperforming females in stride metrics, suggesting a need for tailored sprint training.
Introduction: Understanding the emotional intelligence (EI) and self-esteem of Indian and Saudi nursing students is important because their future nurse-patient relationships may be influenced by factors related to their unique cultural contexts. Hence, this study sought to investigate the EI and self-esteem of nursing students in Saudi Arabia and India.
Methods: A descriptive-comparative research design was used to compare 660 nursing students from Saudi Arabia and India who were enrolled in the study from September 2022 to January 2023.
Central nervous system tumors produce adverse outcomes in daily life, although low-grade gliomas are rare in adults. In neurological clinics, the state of impairment of executive functions goes unnoticed in the examinations and interviews carried out. For this reason, the objective of this study was to describe the executive function of a 59-year-old adult neurocancer patient.
