The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the results of the objective assessment of the vestibular organ in patients with peripheral vertigo with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and thyroid hormone metabolism. Twenty eight women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and chronic vertigo were enrolled in the study. Patients underwent audiological assessment of hearing, Dix-Hallpike test, videonystagmography with caloric test, head impulse test (HIT) and cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs). Levels of thyroid hormones and anti-thyroid antibodies were determined. Relationships between age, weight, height, BMI and the results of the objective assessment of the vestibular organ were calculated. The mean age in the study group was 48 years, while the mean BMI was 26.425. The causes of peripheral vertigo in the study group were benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) ( = 19), Meniere's disease ( = 7) and vestibular neuronitis ( = 2). No correlation was found between age, weight, height, BMI and the results of thyroid function tests or the objective assessment of the vestibular organ. The study did not confirm the influence of thyroid metabolism (i.e., thyroid hormone levels or the increase in antithyroid antibodies) on the results of cVEMP or the directional preponderance in the caloric test.

Factors Associated with Low/Moderate Perceived Risk for HIV Acquisition Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men Eligible to Use Pre-exposure Prophylaxis from Brazil, Mexico, and Peru.

Perceived risk for HIV acquisition among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) may not align with their actual sexual HIV exposure. Factors associated with low/moderate perceived risk among GBMSM eligible for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) (based on their high estimated HIV exposure) have been poorly described in Latin America. This is a secondary analysis of a 2018 web-based cross-sectional survey in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru.

This study presents a hybrid methodology for planning green spaces to enhance urban sustainability and livability, evaluating the impacts of climate change on cities. Cities, once accommodating a small population, have become major centers of migration and development since the eighteenth century. Rapid urban growth intensifies infrastructure, environmental, and social challenges.

Objectives: To evaluate uNGAL in dogs with non-associative immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) and to evaluate whether uNGAL correlates with disease severity markers, negative prognostic indicators and outcome.
Animals: Twenty-two dogs with non-associative IMHA and 14 healthy dogs.
Exposure to Rifampicin and its Metabolite 25-Deacetylrifampicin Rapidly Decreases During Tuberculosis Therapy.

Background And Objective: Limited information is available on the pharmacokinetics of rifampicin (RIF) along with that of its active metabolite, 25-deacetylrifampicin (25-dRIF). This study aimed to analyse the pharmacokinetic data of RIF and 25-dRIF collected in adult patients treated for tuberculosis.
Methods: In adult patients receiving 10 mg/kg of RIF as part of a standard regimen for drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis enrolled in the Opti-4TB study, plasma RIF and 25-dRIF concentrations were measured at various occasions.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of chromosomal aberrations in fetuses with isolated PRUV in a nationwide cohort with 1st-trimester screening for aneuploidies.
Method: A retrospective study including all pregnancies in Denmark with a due date between 2010 and 2022. We retrieved all cases from patient files, where we searched for "PRUV" in the conclusion field.
