Measles, rubella, mumps and chickenpox infections are among the childhood diseases that can be prevented by vaccination. Healthcare workers are at greater risk of diseases transmitted through contact with patients' respiratory secretions, infected blood and body fluids. Students studying in the field of health are at the risk of encountering infectious diseases as much as healthcare personnel during their internship and practice experience in healthcare institutions during their education.

- Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) affects 3-10% of people and is challenging to treat due to its complex symptoms; this study focused on the role of mitochondrial miRNAs (mitomiRs) in FMS patients and aimed to profile these miRNAs to find potential targets.
- The research involved 17 FMS patients and 18 control participants, with blood samples analyzed for mitochondrial purity and microRNA levels, particularly looking at mitomiR-145-5p, mitomiR-23a-3p, and mitomiR-223-3p.
- Results showed significant differences in pain, fatigue, sleep quality, and depression scores between FMS patients and controls,
The present study aimed to examine the protective effect of quercetin (QUE) on cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced nephrotoxicity. For that purpose, 24 mice were divided into four groups (Control, QUE, CTX, and CTX + QUE). The CTX and CTX + QUE groups received 200 mg/kg of cyclophosphamide on the 1 and 7 days.

We hypothesized that apoptosis related gene expressions in female pelvic tissues may be altered during menopause.
Methods: The study groups consisted of pre-menopausal (n = 10) and menopausal (n = 10) females who did not have POP symptoms.
