The primary objective of this study was to investigate the etiological causes and the underlying mechanism of post-earthquake dizziness in affected persons. The present study utilized an observational case-control design to recruit 69 participants (33 with self-reported dizziness complaints and 36 healthy persons) who were exposed to the 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye. The participants underwent assessments including the Dizziness Handicap Inventory for measuring dizziness-related disability, stress, and anxiety assessment using various scales, and equilibrium evaluation through the use of videonystagmography, video head impulse test, and vestibular evoked myogenic potential. The 2 groups were compared based on these assessments. The results indicate that the Dizziness Handicap Inventory score was significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group (P < .001). The mean score of the Peritraumatic Distress Inventory, as well as the mean scores of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale anxiety score and depression score, were found to be significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group (P=.012, P < .001, and P < .001, respectively). Furthermore, it was observed that the mean vestibulo-ocular reflex gain of the left posterior semicircular canal exhibited a statistically significant decrease in the patient group (P=.02). The observed equilibrium dysfunction experienced by individuals following a significant earthquake is likely attributable to heightened stress and anxiety stemming from multiple sources, including the impact of recurrent vibrations on the inner ear. Therefore, it is essential to establish a holistic healthcare approach that addresses the psychological needs of individuals affected by earthquakes.

Background: TRK-inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy across several cancers with NTRK fusions. Their activity in cancers with NTRK overexpression remains unclear.
Methods: This trial enrolled patients with advanced cancers harboring NTRK fusions or extreme mRNA overexpression, defined as NTRK1/2/3 expression by RNA profiling >5 SDs for a given cancer type.

Low-frequency non-syndromic hearing loss (LFNSHL) is a rare auditory disorder affecting frequencies ≤ 2000 Hz. To elucidate its genetic basis, we conducted whole-exome sequencing on nine Chinese families (31 affected individuals) with LFNSHL. Four heterozygous pathogenic variants, including two novel variants, were identified in common LFNSHL-related genes (WFS1, DIAPH1) and less common genes (TNC, EYA4), achieving a 44% genetic diagnosis rate.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate if ovarian stimulation with individualized dosing of recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (rec-FSH) with follitropin delta compared with standard gonadotropin dosing reduce occurrence of follicular asynchrony in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Methods: Matched case-control study analyzed occurrence of follicular growth asynchrony during ovarian stimulation and IVF outcomes in women with PCOS. Follicular growth was considered to be asynchronous when one or two leading follicles were at least 4 mm larger in diameter than the rest of the cohort on day 5 and 9 of stimulation.

Purpose: In early-stage breast cancer, steatotic liver disease (SLD) is associated with increased recurrence, cardiovascular events, and non-cancer death. Endocrine therapy (ET) increases the risk of SLD. The impact of cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) on SLD and prognostic association in metastatic breast cancer is unknown.
