Influencing factors of intrapartum fever after epidural labor analgesia.
The objective of this study was to investigate factors influencing intrapartum fever in parturients receiving epidural labor analgesia. ⋯ Timing of analgesia and amniotic fluid contamination are significant factors influencing intrapartum fever in parturients receiving epidural labor analgesia.

Increased risk of bladder cancer recurrence due to bacillus Calmette-Guérin shortage in Brazil.
Our study aimed to evaluate the impact of bacillus Calmette-Guérin shortage on recurrence and progression in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in a Brazilian cohort. ⋯ Our study confirms that non-muscle invasive bladder cancer exhibits a high recurrence rate. The use of adjuvant bacillus Calmette-Guérin in intermediate and high-risk patients significantly reduces this rate. Furthermore, the bacillus Calmette-Guérin shortage could have negatively impacted these patients.

Progesterone receptor B over progesterone receptor A prevents recurrence in bilateral endometriomas.
Endometriosis is a disease in which stromal cells and endometrial glands extend outside of the uterine cavity. Nevertheless, treatment failure and recurrence cause difficulties in management. This study aimed to evaluate the receptor-level components of bilateral endometriomas in the recurrence state. ⋯ The dominance of progesterone receptor B over progesterone receptor A was inversely proportional to the recurrence status in bilateral endometriomas. Furthermore, our study revealed that assessing receptor levels alone did not result in a significant difference in recurrence.

Prevalence of low-body cell mass evaluated by bioelectrical impedance vector analysis related to aging.
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of low-body cell mass by sex and age in a community-dwelling population. ⋯ The prevalence of low body cell mass, evaluated by bioelectrical impedance vectorial analysis, increased with age. RXc Z-score analysis could be a useful tool to evaluate nutritional status and changes in hydration in community-dwelling populations.

Preoperative cancer antigen-125 levels as a predictor of recurrence in early-stage endometrial cancer.
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer in developed countries, with a majority of cases being low-grade endometrioid endometrial cancer. Identifying risk factors for disease recurrence and poor prognosis is critical. This study aimed to assess the correlation between preoperative cancer antigen-125 levels and disease recurrence in early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer patients. ⋯ The findings of this study suggest that preoperative cancer antigen-125 levels can be used as a predictor of disease recurrence in early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer patients. cancer antigen-125 levels may be a useful tool for risk stratification and patient management in endometrial cancer.
