What is the applicability of tubal ligation with the vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery technique and its value in patient comfort?
The aim of this study was to observe the feasibility of the tubal/adnexal approach using vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery and compare its contribution with surgeon ergonomics and postoperative patient comfort with that of conventional laparoscopy. ⋯ Patients subjected to the vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery procedure showed higher levels of satisfaction, less postoperative pain, and greater comfort than those subjected to conventional laparoscopy.

Fecal leukocyte frequency in children with acute viral gastroenteritis: a single-center experience.
Our objective was to determine the frequency of rotavirus, adenovirus, and rota-adenovirus co-infections and investigate the fecal leukocyte rate associated with these infections in patients with gastroenteritis. ⋯ The presence of fecal leukocytes was detected at a high rate in cases of viral gastroenteritis, especially in rota-adenovirus co-infections. Therefore, clinicians should not consider only bacterial pathogens in the presence of fecal leukocytes.

Visual evoked potential abnormalities in patients with COVID-19.
It has been suggested that diseases that may cause visual evoked potential abnormality, such as optic neuritis, may be associated with the coronavirus disease 2019. This study aimed to find out whether there are visual evoked potential abnormalities in coronavirus disease 2019 patients using pattern reversal visual evoked potential and flash visual evoked potential. ⋯ This study showed that there may be visual evoked potential abnormalities in coronavirus disease 2019 patients.

Analysis of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12 ® and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG on underweight and malabsorption in premature infants.
This study aimed to explore and analyze the therapeutic effect of the combination of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12® and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG on underweight and malabsorption in premature infants. ⋯ In the treatment of premature infants, the combination of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12® and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG can have a better therapeutic effect on the underweight and malabsorption of premature infants, and this treatment method can be popularized in clinics.

Relationship between sacroiliitis and inflammatory markers in familial Mediterranean fever.
Familial Mediterranean fever is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between sacroiliitis observed in familial Mediterranean fever and hematological inflammatory markers. ⋯ It was observed that the frequency of sacroiliitis was increased in familial Mediterranean fever patients. It is predicted that hematological inflammatory markers such as neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, monocyte/lymphocyte ratio, and systemic immune-inflammatory index can be used in the diagnosis of sacroiliitis.
