Design, development, and evaluation of a registry system for hyperbaric oxygen therapy: A methodological study.

Background And Aims: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), utilizes 100% oxygen at pressures greater than sea-level atmospheric pressure, for the treatment of conditions in which the tissues starve for oxygen. The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) has granted HBOT approval for the treatment of various conditions. On the other hand, applying informatics registry systems can improve care delivery, ameliorate outcomes, and reduce the costs and medical errors for the patients receiving HBOT treatment.

Socioeconomic status and COVID-19-related cases and fatalities in the world: A cross-sectional ecological study.

Background And Aims: The COVID-19 pandemic poses an extraordinary threat to global public health. We designed an ecological study to explore the association between socioeconomic factors and the COVID-19 outcomes in 184 countries, using the geographic map and multilevel regression models.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional ecological study in 184 countries.

A novel bio-electro-Fenton system with dual application for the catalytic degradation of tetracycline antibiotic in wastewater and bioelectricity generation.

In this new insight, the potential application of the eco-friendly Bio-Electro-Fenton (BEF) system was surveyed with the aim of simultaneous degradation of tetracycline and generation of renewable bioenergy without the need for an external electricity source. To shed light on this issue, catalytic degradation of tetracycline was directly accrued generated hydroxyl free radicals from Fenton's reaction in the cathode chamber. Simultaneously, the electricity generation as renewable bioenergy was carried out through microbial activities.

A review on bio-electro-Fenton systems as environmentally friendly methods for degradation of environmental organic pollutants in wastewater.

Bio-electro-Fenton (BEF) systems have been potentially studied as a promising technology to achieve environmental organic pollutants degradation and bioelectricity generation. The BEF systems are interesting and constantly expanding fields of science and technology. These emerging technologies, coupled with anodic microbial metabolisms and electrochemical Fenton's reactions, are considered suitable alternatives.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on routine vaccination coverage of children and adolescents: A systematic review.

Background And Aims: Scientists and healthcare workers have expressed their concerns on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on vaccination coverage in children and adolescents. Therefore, we aimed to systematically review the studies addressing this issue worldwide.

Methods: We conducted a systematic search of relevant studies using the keywords on databases of PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane on May 22, 2021.

Primary bilateral ovarian involvement in Burkitt's lymphoma with an adnexal Torsion-like manifestation: A case report.

Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is defined as a highly invasive B-cell lymphoma with a poor prognosis. Primary bilateral ovarian mass without involvement of other organs is a rare manifestation of BL. Our report was a case of an EBV positive Burkitt's lymphoma, which initially presented with ovarian mass and adnexal torsion.

Rosai-Dorfman disease presenting with solitary liver mass without lymphadenopathy: A case report.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), as a lymphoproliferative disorder with unknown etiology, is commonly identified with systemic clinical manifestations in various organs. In this case study, RDD occurrence was reported with an exceedingly liver mass.

A novel biallelic variant in a patient with progressive myoclonus epilepsy and ataxia: A case of laminopathy.

The report of LMNB2-related progressive myoclonus epilepsy and ataxia due to missense homozygous c.473G>T variant.

A novel splicing mutation in two siblings affected with microcephaly, generalized muscular atrophy, and hypotrichosis.

A novel splice site mutation in the gene was identified by whole-exome sequencing in two siblings with microcephaly and progressive generalized muscular atrophy associated with hypotrichosis.

Ten-year-old boy with atypical COVID-19 symptom presentation: A case report.

Since reactive arthritis (ReA) and urticaria could be seen in this age group along with atypical COVID-19 symptom presentation, pediatrics should be familiar with urticarial rashes and ReA in COVID-19 to enable early diagnoses of infected individuals.

Fragmented QRS and subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in individuals with preserved ejection fraction: A speckle-tracking echocardiographic study.

Introduction: Fragmented QRS (fQRS) complex on routine 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) predicts adverse outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases. In addition, it has been found to be associated with subclinical myocardial dysfunction in chronic diseases. We sought to investigate the relationship between the presence of fQRS with the myocardial functions in individuals free from known systemic cardiovascular diseases.

A Devastating Complication of Central Venous Catheter Insertion.

Retained guidewire is a major complication of central line placement. We present a patient with infective endocarditis caused by a retained guidewire. A young man admitted to our emergency department complained of debilitating weakness, productive cough, and fever for seven days.

Sodium valproate compared to phenytoin in treatment of status epilepticus.

Background: Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency which can be life-threatening. Several medical regimens are used in order to control it. In this study, we intended to evaluate the clinical efficacy and tolerability of sodium valproate and intravenous phenytoin (IV PHT) in the control of SE.
