Adenovirus-5 and adenovirus-37 seropositivity in obese patients.

Background And Objectives: Obesity is a major health issue linked to conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Infectobesity suggests that certain microorganisms may contribute to obesity. Human adenovirus serotypes, particularly Human adenovirus type-36 (HAdV-36), Human adenovirus type-5 (HAdV-5), and Human adenovirus type-37 (HAdV-37), are thought to influence body fat regulation.

Occipital emissary vein existence and its impact on the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in pediatric patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of occipital emissary vein (OEV) detection in the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IHH) in the pediatric age group, and to compare the prevalence and luminal diameter of OEV in patients with IHH and in healthy control subjects.

Methods: Conventional magnetic resonance imaging findings were assessed in the patients with IHH and in healthy control subjects who were under the age of 18, by two observers. The presence and luminal dimension of OEV and transverse sinus stenosis were also evaluated and compared between these two groups with magnetic resonance venography techniques.

Improvement of survival after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and trends at a pediatric transplantation center; a three-decade journey.

Background: Advances in stem cell transplantation have resulted in improved outcomes.

Methods: This is a retrospective study aimed to analyze changes in patient profile, transplantation, graft characteristics, and outcome among 241 pediatric patients who received stem cell transplantation in a single center between 1993 and 2019.

Results: In the 2010-2019, compared with the 1993-2009 period, a significantly higher 5-year overall survival (60% vs.

On the nexus between CO emissions and the air transportation sector in the European Union and Turkey: accessing evidence from wavelet coherence analysis.

The coronavirus disease has had a devastating impact on the airline industry worldwide. However, the cancellation of flights has also enormously reduced CO emissions in the air. The present study empirically explores the environmental impact of the sectoral lockdown within the EU28 and Turkey by leveraging the wavelet coherence transform (WCT) technique.
