Background: Postoperative complications (PCs) following total laryngectomy remain a significant challenge, with recent investigations directed toward the impact of nutrition status and vitamin D deficiency.
Objectives: To elucidate the association between preoperative vitamin D level status, malnutrition risk score, and surgical and survival outcomes in patients with advanced laryngeal cancer following total laryngectomy.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Aim: We sought the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) parameter that most accurately reflected therapeutic efficacy in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
Methods: Well-being questionnaire, N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide measurements, echocardiography, and CPET were performed in patients with symptomatic non-obstructive HCM during phase II, randomized, open-label multicentre study, before and after 16 weeks of traditional or sacubitril/valsartan treatment. Patients were followed 36 months after the initial CPET.

Background: This study investigated for a possible contributing role of hippocampus in the different clinical phenotypic manifestations of migraine aura.
Methods: Herein, patients were categorized as those with pure visual aura (MwAv), those who reported additional somatosensory and dysphasic symptoms (MwAvsd), and healthy controls (HCs). Neuroimaging data obtained using FreeSurfer-based segmentation of hippocampal subfields were compared between HCs and patients with migraine with aura, as well as between HCs and those with MwAv and MwAvsd.
Alexithymia presents a reduced ability to identify, express, and describe one's own emotions. In medical professionals, alexithymia is associated with increased burnout and substance use, as well as reduced altruistic behavior. Our aim was to examine the association between alexithymia and different sociodemographic, psychological, and somatic parameters among medical students.

Background: Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte, and Platelet Score (HALP) is an accessible score that is easily reproducible from routine laboratory testing while also reflecting patients' immune-nutritional status. Along with other immuno-nutritional scores, such as the Prognostic Nutrition Index (PNI), HALP has been associated with a number of clinical and pathological features. The goal of our study was to evaluate the prognostic utility of HALP and PNI scores in testicular germ cell cancer (GCT) patients.

The aim of this review article is to highlight the consequences of COGHD after the end of linear growth on bone mass and body composition and the opposing beneficial effects of continuing GH replacement in the transition period and young adults. The role of growth hormone in the period of late adolescence and young adulthood is well established, mainly in achieving peak bone mass and a favorable body composition, characterized by muscle mass increase and fat mass reduction. Patients with childhood onset growth hormone deficiency (COGHD), after reaching the adult height, have a reduced bone mineral density and muscle mass with increased fat mass compared to healthy controls.

Background And Objectives: Access to neurosurgical care is limited in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) and in marginalized communities in high-income countries (HICs). International partnerships represent one possible means of addressing this issue. Insights from surgeons in HICs have been explored, but data from LMICs' counterparts are scarce.

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke occurring simultaneously in one patient is a rare clinical event. These medical emergencies involve many diagnostic and treatment challenges due to different causes, treatment modalities, and shifting priorities. Presence and exacerbation of bronchiectasis has been considered as a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and can trigger a cardioembolic stroke.

Cancer-promoting proinflammatory microenvironment influences colorectal cancer (CRC) development. We examined the biomarkers of inflammation, intestinal differentiation, and DNA activity correlated with the clinical parameters to observe progression and prognosis in the adenocarcinoma subtype of CRC. Their immunohistology, immunoblotting, and RT-PCR analyses were performed in the adenocarcinoma and neighboring healthy tissues of 64 patients with CRC after routine colorectal surgery.

: With the advent of novel therapies for nucleophosmin gene ()-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML), there is a growing need for the reliable prediction of mutations. This study explored the role of cytomorphological features in the early prediction of -mutated AML. : Altogether, 212 de novo AML cases with normal karyotypes, diagnosed and treated at a single institution within 5 years (2018-2023), were retrospectively evaluated.
