Enhanced placental antibody transfer efficiency with longer interval between maternal respiratory syncytial virus vaccination and birth.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus is associated with significant neonatal and infant morbidity and mortality. Maternal bivalent respiratory syncytial virus prefusion F respiratory syncytial virus vaccination to protect neonates and infants was approved in September 2023 for administration between 32+0 and 36+6 weeks to protect neonates and infants. This approved timeframe is narrower than the 24 to 36 week window evaluated in the clinical trial, due to the possible association between preterm birth and vaccine administration.

Exploring Pediatric Vertebral, Sacral, and Pelvic Osteosarcomas through the NCDB: Demographics, Treatment Utilization, and Survival Outcomes.

Background And Objectives: Retrieve data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to examine information on the epidemiological prevalence, treatment strategies, and survival outcomes of pediatric vertebral, sacral and pelvic osteosarcomas.

Methods: We reviewed NCDB data from 2008 to 2018, concentrating on vertebral, sacral, and pelvic osteosarcomas in children 0 to 21 years. Our analysis involved logistic and Poisson regression, Kaplan-Meier survival estimates, and Cox proportional hazards models.

Intracranial ependymomas in pediatric patients: patterns of care, disparities, and survival outcomes from the National Cancer Database.

Objective: This study aimed to extract and analyze comprehensive data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to gain insights into the epidemiological prevalence, treatment patterns, and survival outcomes associated with intracranial ependymomas in pediatric patients.

Methods: The authors examined data extracted from the NCDB spanning the years 2010 to 2017, with a specific emphasis on intracranial ependymomas in individuals aged 0-21 years. The study used logistic and Poisson regression, along with Kaplan-Meier survival estimates and Cox proportional hazards models, for analysis.

Factors associated with substance use among preclinical medical students in Turkey: a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Medical students experience high levels of stress due to their rigorous training, which can negatively affect their mental health. This study aimed to investigate substance use habits of medical students at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa and the association on their mental health and demographic factors.

Methods: This cross-sectional survey study was conducted in March-April 2022 among preclinical medical students (years 1-3 of a 6-year program).

Factors affecting mortality in COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis: An international ID-IRI study.

Background: This study aimed to identify factors that influence the mortality rate of patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA).

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data from 23 centers across 15 countries, spanning the period of March 2020 to December 2021, were retrospectively collected. The study population comprised patients who developed invasive pulmonary aspergillosis while being treated for COVID-19 in the intensive care unit.

Pediatric intramedullary spinal cord tumors: A national cancer database analysis of demographics, patterns of care, and survival.

Objective: Query the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to delineate epidemiologic frequency, care patterns, and survival outcomes of pediatric intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs).

Methods: IMSCTs included ependymoma, astrocytoma, and hemangioblastoma. We examined data from the NCDB spanning 2004-2018, focusing on IMSCT in children aged 0-21 years.

Comprehensive assessment of atypical and anaplastic pediatric meningiomas utilizing national cancer database: a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: To examine demographic and clinical characteristics and their association with survival in grade 2 and 3 pediatric meningiomas in a large cohort using the National Cancer Database (NCDB).

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive analysis using data from NCDB between 2004 to 2018. Tumor-specific data included tumor grade and size.

A pediatric cystic fibrosis arthropathy case who responded to Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor therapy.

Cystic fibrosis arthropathy (CFA) is a transient, intermittent form of arthritis that cannot be associated with any other disease other than CF thus making CFA a diagnosis of exclusion. NSAIDs, short-term intermittent splinting, glucocorticoids, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs are treatment options for CFA. Currently, there is no consensus on how to best treat CFA.

A brief report: Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea after repetitive nasal swab testing for coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19).

For the past year, COVID-19 Pandemic has been the biggest focal point of medicine. Due to its novelty and its highly infectious nature, the impact of Sars-Cov-2 on society has been growing rapidly. The primary route for prevention of this highly infectious virus is detection.

Translation, Psychometric and Concept Analysis of the Occupational Balance-Questionnaire Based on a Turkish Population.

Occupational balance is a crucial concept in occupational therapy, accepted as a key component of health and well-being. The (OB-Quest) is designed as a standardized instrument to assess occupational balance. This study investigated the validity and reliability of the OB-Quest Turkish, which consisted of translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and analysis psychometric properties phases.
