Background: Commitment to a profession requires doing the best for that profession. In the case of the nursing profession, professional commitment gains greater importance in times of crisis, like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total improvement after surgery for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in a patient with concurrent malignant idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

The association between idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) constitutes an interesting point of discussion regarding clinical approaches as well as the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Here, the case of a 42-year-old female with malignant IIH and OSAS is illustrated. Initially, the patient was treated with lumboperitoneal shunt surgery.

Association of lymphocyte-monocyte ratio and monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio with the presence and severity of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis.

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the relationships between monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) and rheumatic mitral valve stenosis (RMVS).

Methodology: A total of 368 patients with mitral stenosis and 80 healthy participants were included. Patients were categorized into two groups in respect to the severity of RMVS as mild-moderate group (mitral valve area ≥1.

Assessment of monocyte to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio in patients with metabolic syndrome.

Aim: We aimed to investigate the relationships between metabolic syndrome (MS) and monocyte to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR).

Methods: 762 patients (n = 371 MS present and n = 391 MS absent) were enrolled.

Results: MHR was significantly higher [13.

[Bacterial colonization due to increased nurse workload in an intensive care unit].

Introduction: the rates of multiresistant bacteria colonization or infection (MRB+) development in intensive care units are very high. The aim of this study was to determine the possible association between the risk of development of nosocomial infections and increased daily nurse workload due to understaffing in intensive care unit.

Methods: we included 168 patients.
