The use of dual and triple rule-out computerized tomography angiography by using diagnostic low-dose contrast material and radiation in acute chest pain.

Background: Triple rule-out computed tomography angiography (CTA) provides imaging of the coronary arteries, pulmonary arteries, and thoracic aorta filled with contrast material (CM) to exclude or diagnose the pathologies of these three systems. Although dual rule-out adapted to exclude aortic and pulmonary pathologies. Iodinated CM may result in contrast-induced nephropathy, which lengthens hospital stay.

Methods: The study included children between 0 and 2 years who were diagnosed as having anaphylaxis by pediatric allergists in 11 tertiary hospitals.

Kangaroo Mother Care on Perfusion Index, Heart Rate, and Oxygen Saturation in Premature Infants Who were Discharged Early and Admitted to The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Randomized Control Tria.

Aim: To determine the effect of kangaroo mother care (KMC) on perfusion index, heart rate, and oxygen saturation in premature infants who were discharged early and admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the following days.

Methods: This study has a randomized controlled experimental design and uses a pretest-posttest control group model. This study included infants between December 2019 and December 2020 who were discharged early and subsequently admitted to the NICU.

Investigation of Colistin resistance and method comparison in Klebsiella pneumoniae strains.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of colistin resistance in the study group and compare alternative methods with the gold standard. It sought to evaluate the prevalence of plasmid-mediated colistin resistance genes.

Material And Methods: The colistin susceptibility of 151 K.

Effects of single- and double-shift work on hand and cognitive functions in nurses.

Aim: This study aims to examine the influence of single and double-shift work schedules on hand function and cognitive capacities, specifically working memory, attention, and response time in nurses.

Background: Shift work, particularly in extended formats, is known to affect various physical and cognitive functions critical to nursing duties. Understanding these impacts is vital for managing nurse schedules to minimize health risks and maximize performance.

Comparison of laparoscopic Heller myotomy and endoscopic balloon dilation in the treatment of achalasia: Effects on quality of life and patient satisfaction.

Background: Achalasia is a rare neurodegenerative disease of the esophagus that causes impaired esophageal peristalsis and the inability of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to relax. This results in symptoms such as dysphagia, regurgitation, chest pain, and weight loss. Among the treatment options, Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy (LHM), Endoscopic Balloon Dilation (EBD), and Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) are commonly used methods.

Evaluation of lateral sagittal infraclavicular block according to inferior vena cava collapsibility index (VCI-CI): An observational study.

Depending on the total amount of fluid, changes occur in the amount of fluid in the peripheral area. The aim of this study was to observe the differences caused by hemodynamic changes after lateral sagittal infraclavicular block (LS-ICB) according to the inferior vena cava collapsibility index (VCI-CI). In this prospective, observational study (Clinical Trial Number: NCT05968105), patients undergoing elective hand and wrist surgery with LS-ICB were classified according to VCI-CI, with Group 1 defined as inferior vena cava (VCI) diameter < 1.

Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the developmental care scale for neonates with congenital heart disease.

Objective: Developmental care for newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD) improves cardiac and respiratory patterns. According to the American Heart Association, developmental care in newborns with CHD is important for improving neurodevelopmental outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Developmental Care Scale for Neonates with Congenital Heart Disease.

Experiences of mothers caring for children with rare diseases in Turkey.

Rare diseases (RDs), important for children and families, have been poorly studied in Turkey. This study aimed to describe the experiences and needs of mothers whose children have RDs from the perspectives of their mothers.

Behçet's disease modifies the gingival inflammatory response.

Background: Behçet's disease (BD) pathogenesis involves severe outcomes such as blindness, central nervous system manifestations, and deep venous thrombosis that impacts systemic and local inflammatory changes. We tested the hypothesis that BD negatively affects gingival health and increases the severity of gingivitis.

Methods: The study included 37 BD patients with gingivitis without any sign of periodontitis.

A rare cause of immune dysregulation, prolidase deficiency: a case report and review of the literature.

We report a pediatric patient with prolidase deficiency, caused by a mutation in the PEPD gene, which encodes the enzyme prolidase D, with a lupus-like clinic and marked dysmorphic features along with pulmonary, neurological, skeletal, and immune system involvement. In addition to being the first known case in the literature where Friedrich's ataxia and prolidase deficiency were observed together, we aimed to highlight that this diagnosis should be considered in patients with autoimmunity and additional systemic findings such as treatment-resistant skin lesions, intellectual disability, and pulmonary manifestations. Furthermore, we sought to compare this case with others documented in the literature.
