The frequency and clinical features of posttransplant pneumonia in solid-organ transplantation recipients: A transplant center experience.

Introduction: In solid-organ transplant (SOT) recipients, while survival rates have improved with immunosuppressive therapies, the risk of opportunistic infections has also increased. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of pneumonia, identify microbiological factors, investigate diagnostic methods, and analyse prognosis.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to identify adult SOT recipients referred to the pulmonary diseases department with a preliminary pneumonia diagnosis between 2011 and 2019.

Levels of Anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem, and Guilt in Women with High-Risk Pregnancies.

Pregnancy is an inherently delicate process characterized by physiological and psychological changes, even in the absence of any health complications. This study compares the levels of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and guilt in women diagnosed with high-risk pregnancies to those in a control group consisting of women with healthy pregnancies. A total of 172 women participated in the study, 108 of whom had high-risk pregnancies, and 64 had healthy pregnancies.

Exploring ultrasound-induced free radical formation: A comparative study in water and sour cherry juice using glutathione and terephthalic acid indicators.

This study aims to assess free radical (FR) generation potential of ultrasound in water and sour cherry juice (SCJ) model systems using an indirect method with specific indicators including glutathione (GSH), a well-known antioxidant, and terephthalic acid (TPA), which fluoresces upon oxidation. Initially, aqueous GSH solutions were subjected to ultrasound at varying amplitudes (60 % and 80 %) for up to 30 min using probes of different diameters (13 mm and 19 mm) to identify maximal oxidation conditions. FR formation was monitored using UPLC equipped with diode array detector and fluorescence spectrophotometer for GSH and TPA oxidation, respectively.

Radiographic Changes and Clinical Outcomes Associated with Two Different Press-Fit Humeral Stems in Primary Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty.

Background: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is used commonly for a wide range of indications. The complications after the total shoulder replacements have been reported to be related with the prosthesis design. The type of the humeral stem is a consideration to reduce complication.
