Purpose: This study evaluated the impact of preoperative oral hygiene on the incidence of postoperative pneumonia (PP) and surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery considering the influence of COVID-19 and developing effective perioperative oral care methods.
Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent esophageal cancer surgery between January 2017 and March 2022 were analyzed. Patient characteristics and the incidence of PP and SSI before and during COVID-19 were compared.

Introduction-aim: To examine the ocular effects of methylphenidate used in children and adolescents diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Method: Children diagnosed with ADHD and healthy control children were included in the study. The cases were divided into three groups-those with attention-deficit and hyperactivity and receiving methylphenidate therapy (Group 1), newly diagnosed cases not using medication (Group 2), and healthy, control group children (Group 3), and the results obtained were compared between them.

The human brain is organized into several segregated associative and sensory functional networks, each responsible for various aspects of cognitive and sensory processing. These functional networks become less segregated over the adult lifespan, possibly contributing to cognitive decline that is observed during advanced age. To date, a comprehensive understanding of decreasing network segregation with age has been hampered by (1) small sample sizes, (2) lack of investigation at different spatial scales, (3) the limited age range of participants, and more importantly (4) an inadequate consideration of sex (biological females and males) differences.

We report a rare case of centrally caused hypertension in a 17-year-old adolescent due to neurovascular compression of the root entry/exit zone of the ninth/tenth cranial nerves of the rostral ventrolateral medulla oblongata on the left side. The patient underwent a comprehensive diagnostic workup to exclude other causes of secondary hypertension. A cranial magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) indicated a neurovascular compression.

Objective: Growing evidence indicate that prenatal intermittent hypoxia (PIH) exposure can have an impact on the critical brain nerve development of the fetus, resulting in cognitive deficits in the offspring mice. Resveratrol, recognized for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities, has potential to ameliorate synaptic dysfunction, which in turn may contribute to its positive influence on cognitive impairment. Nevertheless, the precise manner in which resveratrol mitigates cognitive deficits stemming from maternal hypoxia remains to be fully elucidated, including the specific mechanisms at play.
