Association between hyperuricemia and hypertension and the mediatory role of obesity: a large cohort study in China.
This study aimed to investigate the sex-specific association between hyperuricemia and the risk of hypertension and whether obesity mediates this association. ⋯ Hyperuricemia is associated with a risk of hypertension in both sexes, and BMI partially mediates hyperuricemia-related incident hypertension.

Accuracy of intrapartum cardiotocography in identifying fetal acidemia by umbilical cord blood analysis in low-risk pregnancies.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of intrapartum cardiotocography in identifying fetal acidemia by umbilical cord blood analysis in low-risk pregnancies. ⋯ The three categories of intrapartum cardiotocography presented low sensitivities and high negative predictive values to identify fetal acidemia at birth in low-risk pregnancies.

Evaluation of the relationship between monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and thrombus burden in patients with deep vein thrombosis.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate monocyte count and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and their ratio (monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio) in patients with deep venous thrombosis as well as to determine whether this ratio at the time of diagnosis can be an indicator of thrombus burden in terms of thrombus location in deep venous thrombosis. ⋯ Monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio is significantly elevated in patients with deep venous thrombosis when compared to the control group. Monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio levels were correlated with disease burden reflected by thrombus location and the number of vein segments involved in deep venous thrombosis patients.

A needful, unique, and in-place evaluation of the injuries in earthquake victims with computed tomography, in catastrophic disasters! The 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquakes: part I.
This study was carried out to evaluate the injuries in pediatric earthquake victims due to the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquakes with computed tomography and determine the anatomotopographic distribution of injuries. ⋯ The head injury was the most common earthquake-related injury in pediatric cases. Herein, it was more common in younger children compared with other age groups, whereas rib, spine, and pleural injuries were more common in older children.

Observational StudyAnalysis of possible risk predictors in patients with coronavirus disease 2019: a retrospective cohort study.
This study aimed to analyze the clinical-epidemiological profile, possible risk predictors, and outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 admitted to the ward of a tertiary care hospital in southern Brazil. Specifically, we describe the demographic characteristics, comorbidities, baseline laboratory findings, clinical course, and survival of these patients. ⋯ After analyzing the clinical and epidemiological profile, it can be concluded that age greater than 65 years and pulmonary involvement >50% are predictors of a worse prognosis for coronavirus disease 2019, as is the need for high-flow oxygen therapy. Corticotherapy, however, proved to be beneficial in the treatment of the disease.
