The imposter phenomenon in psychiatrists: relationships among compassion fatigue, burnout, and maladaptive perfectionism.

Background: The imposter phenomenon is the unwillingness to acknowledge one's triumphs, which is common among doctors. Research on the imposter phenomenon among mental health professionals is limited, and the relationship between imposter phenomenon, burnout, and compassion fatigue has not been studied. The current study intended to test a hypothesized model of the specific impact paths among burnout, compassion fatigue, maladaptive perfectionism, and imposter phenomenon among mental health professionals.

Arthroscopic-Assisted Lower Trapezius Tendon Transfer With Fascia Lata Autograft for Irreparable Posterior-Superior Rotator Cuff Tears.

Lower trapezius tendon transfer is a surgical procedure that has become increasingly popular in recent years. The biggest advantage of this method is that the pulling direction of the lower trapezius is the same as that of the infraspinatus. Thus, the transferred lower trapezius tendon can biomechanically mimic the functions of the posterior-superior rotator cuff.

Effects of Cerium Oxide on Kidney and Liver Tissue Damage in an Experimental Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Model of Distant Organ Damage.

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a process in which impaired perfusion is restored by restoring blood flow and tissue recirculation. Nanomedicine uses cutting-edge technologies that emerge from interdisciplinary influences. In the literature, there are very few in vivo and in vitro studies on how cerium oxide (CeO) affects systemic anti-inflammatory response and inflammation.

Background: Potential associations between targeted therapies and a new cancer in patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) and a previous malignancy are a frequent concern in daily rheumatology practice.

Objectives: To develop points to consider (PTC) to assist rheumatologists when initiating a targeted therapy in the context of a previous malignancy.

Methods: Following EULAR standardised operating procedures, a task force met to define the research questions for a systematic literature review and to formulate the overarching principles (OPs) and the PTC.

Long-term Complications and Testicular Adrenal Rest Tumors in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency accounts for approximately 95% of all CAH cases and is one of the most common inborn errors of metabolism. While glucocorticoid therapy has significantly improved patient outcomes, the focus has shifted towards managing the long-term effects. Numerous adverse outcomes have been associated with CAH, including those resulting from supraphysiological doses of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement, excessive adrenal androgen secretion, and elevated levels of steroid precursors and adrenocorticotropic hormone.

Can ChatGPT generate surgical multiple-choice questions comparable to those written by a surgeon?

Background: This study aimed to determine whether surgical multiple-choice questions generated by ChatGPT are comparable to those written by human experts (surgeons).

Methods: The study was conducted at a medical school and involved 112 fourth-year medical students. Based on five learning objectives in general surgery (colorectal, gastric, trauma, breast, thyroid), ChatGPT and surgeons generated five multiple-choice questions.

Comparison of IL-1 Receptor Antagonist and Dexamethasone in Noise-Induced Hearing Loss: Animal Model.

Objective: This study aimed to attenuate cochlear inflammation following noise-induced hearing loss by targeting IL-1. We evaluated the effectiveness of IL-1 inhibition through auditory and histological assessments in an animal model.

Study Design: Experimental animal study.

Are alarm symptoms of the Rome IV criteria enough to rule out organic pathology?

Background: The Rome IV criteria offer symptom-based recommendations for diagnosing functional gastrointestinal diseases (FGID) in children and adolescents without esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of Rome IV criteria for ruling out organic disease in patients with and without alarm symptoms.

Methods: Retrospective research was conducted on children and adolescents who had dyspepsia and underwent EGD.

Risk factors for neurologic sequelae in children and adolescents with hemophilia after intracranial hemorrhage.

Background: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is reportedly rare but has high morbidity and mortality risk in persons with hemophilia. Although the risk factors that facilitate bleeding are known, the factors affecting the sequelae are not well known.

Objectives: We planned to investigate the risk factors for neurologic sequelae in children and adolescents with hemophilia suffering from ICH.

Evaluation of Delirium Risk Factors in Intensive Care Patients.

Objective: The negative effects of delirium in intensive care unit (ICU) patients necessitate the identification and management of risk factors. This study aimed to determine the incidence of delirium and its associated modifiable and non-modifiable factors in the ICU setting to provide valuable insights for better patient care and outcomes.

Methods: Patients admitted to the ICU underwent delirium screening twice daily.

From low back pain to Takayasu arteritis: A rare case report.

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is an uncommon chronic inflammation of blood vessels. It can occur with a range of clinical manifestations. However, low back pain is uncommonly defined as the initial symptom of TA.

Quality of Life and Related Factors in Patients Diagnosed with Mucopolysaccharidosis and Their Caregivers.

Objectives: Quality of life (QoL) is directly associated with physical-psychological well-being, family and environmental factors in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). The present study aims to investigate the factors affecting QoL in both MPS patients and their caregivers.

Methods: The sociodemographic characteristics, clinical findings, and special needs of 37 patients with MPS were questioned, among which 28 pediatric patients were evaluated for QoL using the KINDL-parents scale.

Can some inflammatory parameters predict the survival of patients with malignant pleural effusion?

Background: This study aimed to investigate whether there is a correlation between some serum inflammatory markers and the survival of patients with malignant pleural effusions (MPEs).

Methods: The prospective study included 125 patients (67 males, 58 females; median age: 62 years; range, 40 to 92 years) who underwent thoracentesis for pleural effusion between January 2020 and December 2021. An overall survival analysis was performed, and survival differences between the groups were investigated.

Inhibitor development upon switching from plasma-derived to recombinant factor VIII in previously untreated patients with severe hemophilia A: the PUP-SWITCH study.

Background: The SIPPET randomized clinical trial showed that in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with severe hemophilia A, treatment with plasma-derived factor (F)VIII (pdFVIII) within the first 50 exposure days (EDs) was associated with a lower cumulative incidence of inhibitors than with recombinant FVIII (rFVIII). Switching to rFVIII beyond 50 EDs with pdFVIII is a treatment often implemented by many centers. The question is whether or not this switch may induce a risk of inhibitor development.
