Background: The primary aim of this study was to compare the groups, SARS-CoV-2-positive and -negative patients, in terms of the frequency of SBI. The SARS-CoV-2-positive group was compared with the other-RVPs-positive group as a secondary evaluation in terms of serious bacterial infection (SBI).
Methods: This retrospective multicenter cohort study was conducted at four university hospitals from March 2020 to December 2021.
Article Synopsis
- - The study discusses a unique case of a patient with a rare variation of the ophthalmic artery, originating from the anterior inferior cerebellar artery rather than its usual location.
- - The patient also had a history of Moyamoya disease, and imaging showed additional complications, including a fusiform aneurysm and vasculitis, as well as a middle meningeal artery branching from the ophthalmic artery.
- - The report aims to contribute to the limited existing literature on ophthalmic artery anatomical variations, highlighting the significance of this rare case.
This study examines myocardial T1, T2, and T2* values in a sizable cohort of healthy volunteers, analyzing variations by age, sex, and cardiac segments. It offers a novel approach to defining normal parametric mapping boundaries and represents the first comprehensive study of its kind in Turkey. Our prospective study was conducted between August 2021 and August 2022.

Here, we present a full-custom FICI that considers design of both an implantable sensor for wide range sound sensing and a signal conditioning circuit for electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. The microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based acoustic sensor utilizes multiple cantilever beam structures to sense and filter the mechanical vibrations on the ossicular chain.

Although analgesia targeting the sternum is often prioritized, the analgesia of the drain site is sometimes overlooked. This study of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) aimed to provide optimized analgesia for both the sternum and the chest tubes area by combining parasternal block (PSB) and serratus anterior plane block (SAPB).
