Randomized Controlled TrialMirabegron as effective as oxybutynin for ureteral stent symptoms.
Ureteral stents usually cause pain and lower urinary tract discomfort. This study aimed to compare the effect of mirabegron with oxybutynin in relieving ureteral stent-related symptoms over time. ⋯ Both mirabegron and oxybutynin are equivalent in relieving ureteral stent symptoms. Moreover, some stent symptoms seem to decrease over time despite the use of medication.

Side effects and antibody response of an inactive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccine among health care workers.
This study aims to investigate the antibody response and the side effects of the two-dose inactive SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (CoronaVac, Sinovac, China) among a health care worker population in Turkey. ⋯ We found that vaccination by two-dose CoronaVac could elicit a specific humoral response, and it was well tolerated in health care workers. The high seropositivity developed after the second dose attracted attention. Our study will be useful in terms of showing short-term immunity and side effects.

Are inflammatory and malnutrition markers associated with metabolic syndrome in patients with sarcoidosis?
The study aimed to investigate the use of Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, C-reactive protein/albumin ratio, controlling nutritional status, and prognostic nutritional index immune, inflammatory, and malnutrition markers Metabolic syndrome+ in sarcoidosis patients, as an early-stage marker. ⋯ Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and controlling nutritional status are associated with the Metabolic syndrome+ in sarcoidosis patients. Thus, close monitoring of Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and controlling nutritional status increase in terms of Metabolic syndrome and immune malnutrition may be important in sarcoidosis patients.

Clinical implication of preoperative psoas muscle area in endometrial cancer patients.
Obesity is a significant risk factor for endometrial cancer. In contrast, sarcopenia describes a loss of the body's muscle mass that is closely related to unfavorable clinical outcomes. Even endometrial cancer patients have high rates of obesity, and they should have a significantly higher risk for undiagnosed sarcopenia or fragile muscle quality. ⋯ Sarcopenic patients did not have increased surgical complication rates following uterine cancer surgery. We should be aware of hospitalization duration in those patients, and sarcopenic counterparts necessitate longer follow-up after the surgery.
