Observational StudyInvestigation of the effectiveness of teledermatology in the diagnosis of skin lesions in pediatric patients.
Teledermatology is the use of communications technology to enable the remote evaluation of skin lesions. Dermatological complaints are common among pediatric patients and should be handled differently than adults. The aim of this study is to group the dermatological lesions of pediatric patients who visited a dermatology outpatient clinic and to investigate in which groups the teledermatology method is more effective. ⋯ Teledermatology is a reliable diagnostic method that shortens the waiting time of patients and provides a quick consultation with a dermatologist. When using the teledermatology method, it is important to know which skin lesions or disease groups are more accurately diagnosed.

Evaluation of the relationship between toxicity of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors and body surface area.
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the toxicity of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors and body mass index and body surface area. ⋯ No statistically significant difference was found between body mass index groups and side effects. Grade 3 neutropenia was more common in patients on palbociclib with a body surface area≤1.77. In our study, it was revealed that less hematological side effects can be encountered when body surface area is taken into account.

Inflammatory prognostic index predicts new-onset atrial fibrillation and mortality after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
This study aimed to analyze its predictive role in incipient postoperative atrial fibrillation by constructing an inflammatory prognostic index based on hematological and biochemical parameters in patients undergoing elective isolated coronary artery surgery accompanied by cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ Inflammatory prognostic index can be a noninvasive, easily available marker for predicting new-onset atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass surgery.

miR-21, miR-221, and miR-222 upregulation in lung cancer promotes metastasis by reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis.
The purpose of our research was to observe the effects of miR-21, miR-221, and miR-222, as well as their target genes on oxidative stress, lung cancer formation, and metastasis. ⋯ Our findings show that upregulation of hsa-miR-21-5p, hsa-miR-221-3p, and hsa-miR-222-3p effectively contributes to both proliferation and invasion by influencing oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis.
