Greater presence of receptors for relaxin in the ligamentum teres of female infants who undergo open reduction for developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Background: While many factors involved in the etiology of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), one of which is the hormone relaxin. Relaxin concentrations in patients with DDH may lead to pathodynamic changes during hip development by altering the physiological nature of the ligament, as well as by long-term exposure to relaxin during pregnancy. Our objective in this study was to determine the number of relaxin receptors in the ligamentum teres and their role in causing DDH.

Machine learning algorithms can more efficiently predict biochemical recurrence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Objectives: To develop a model for predicting biochemical recurrence (BCR) in patients with long follow-up periods using clinical parameters and the machine learning (ML) methods.

Materials Method: Patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy between January 2014 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who did not have BCR were assigned to Group 1, while those diagnosed with BCR were assigned to Group 2.

Case Report: Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia in a Patient With Relapsed/Refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

First identified in China in December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly evolved into a global pandemic. The presence of haematological malignancies are expected to increase the risk of adverse outcomes from this viral infection due to the immunosuppression brought about by the underlying cancer and the effects of therapy. We present a 55-year-old woman diagnosed with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) who had been heavily pretreated with multiagent chemotherapy, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHCT), allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT) and was complicated with EBV associated posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) and chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD).

Impaction of the polylactic membrane or hydrofiber with silver dressings on the interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-b3 levels in the blood and tissues of pediatric patients with burns.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the effects of two different burn dressings, hydrofiber with a silver (HFAg) and polylactic membrane (PLM), on altering the levels of important biomarkers Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3) in blood and burnt tissue in children with second-degree burns.

Methods: Children between the ages of one to 16 years, with 25-50% second-degree partial-thickness burns of the total body surface area were included in this study. Patients in the PLM group were dressed with PLM in a typical way according to the manual.

The Compatibility of Hemoglobin A1c with Oral Glucose Tolerance Test and Fasting Plasma Glucose.

Objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease requiring lifelong medical care, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. Early diagnosis of prediabetes and diabetes is significant in view of the mortality, morbidity and cost associated with them. Because of the difficulties in application and reproducibility of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which is considered to be the gold standard in the diagnosis of DM, more feasible diagnostic tests are needed.

Leukoencephalopathy With Brain Stem and Spinal Cord Involvement and Lactate Elevation (LBSL): A Case With Long-term Follow-up.

Introduction: Leukoencephalopathy with brain stem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation (LBSL) is caused by a recessive mutation in the DARS2 gene and can be recognized by specific magnetic resonance imaging patterns.
