Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on medical university students to analyze the prevalence and patterns of tobacco and e-cigarette use in a country where e-cigarette sales are banned.
- Out of 1,054 surveyed students, a notable percentage reported smoking cigarettes (37.7%), with fewer using e-cigarettes (4.0%) or water pipes (4.5%).
- Many e-cigarette users underestimated the health risks associated with nicotine and other harmful chemicals, and a significant portion obtained e-cigarettes through illegal means despite the ban.
Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationships between Internet addiction, smartphone addiction, sleep quality, and academic success.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, high-school students were surveyed to evaluate sleep quality, Internet addiction, and smartphone addiction. Students were queried about their demographics, and grade averages from the previous term were taken as an indicator of academic success.
Background: The potential role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia provides the rationale for investigating IL-6 signaling inhibitors.
Objectives: To evaluate and report treatment responses to tocilizumab (TCZ) in COVID-19 patients and compare mortality outcomes with those of standard care.
Material And Methods: Patients hospitalized with a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, diagnosed with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) between March 2020 and April 2021, were enrolled in this single-center retrospective cohort study.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of asbestos exposure on cancer-driver mutations.
Methods: Between January 2014 and September 2018, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK), and c-ros oncogene 1 receptor tyrosine kinase gene (ROS1) alterations, demographic characteristics, asbestos exposure, and asbestos-related radiological findings of 1904 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were recorded.
Results: The frequencies of EGFR mutations, ALK, and ROS1 rearrangements were 14.
Introduction: Vaccines have been shown to prevent illness, disability and death from vaccine-preventable diseases. The purpose of our study was to analyze the influenza and pneumococcal vaccination status of patients, the factors that influence the uptake of influenza/pneumococcal vaccination and the effects of health literacy (HL) on vaccination.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, demographic characteristics, comorbid diseases and the pneumococcal and influenza vaccination status in previous years were recorded for each patient.
