The authors aimed to develop a Machine-Learning (ML) algorithm that can predict positive blood culture in the neonatal intensive care unit, using complete blood count and C-reactive protein values. ⋯ Complete blood count parameters and C-reactive protein levels cannot be used in ML models to predict bacteremia in newborns.

Stroke in children and adolescents: Analysis of electrophysiological and behavioral assessment findings of auditory processing.
This study aimed to analyze the auditory processing behavior of children and adolescents diagnosed with stroke and compare it with that of typically developing individuals. ⋯ This study showed that children and adolescents with stroke performed worse in electrophysiological and behavioral tests of auditory processing assessed using the auditory evoked potentials. These data reinforce the hypothesis that stroke-related lesions compromise the neural mechanisms underlying auditory processing.

Controlled Clinical Trial
Effect of concurrent training in unilateral transtibial amputees using Paralympic athletes as a control group.
Transtibial Amputation (TA) predisposes to a sedentary lifestyle. ⋯ After eight weeks of CT, there was an improvement in general functional condition, muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory performance improving protection against chronic diseases and quality of life.

We examined the expression of Lnc-ZFAS1 in osteosarcoma and comprehensively evaluated its effects on osteosarcoma in vitro and vivo. Moreover, we revealed the regulatory mechanism between Lnc-ZFAS1 and miR-520b/miR-520e-mediated RHOC and provided a novel clue for ameliorating osteosarcoma. ⋯ Lnc-ZFAS1 acted sponger of miR-520b and miR-520e to promote RHOC, indicating that Lnc-ZFAS1/miR-520b/RHOC and Lnc-ZFAS1/miR-520e/RHOC axes might serve as potential therapeutic strategies against osteosarcoma.

Microablative fractional radiofrequency for sexual dysfunction and vaginal Trophism: A randomized clinical trial.
To evaluate Microablative Fractional Radiofrequency (MAFRF) as a possible option in treating vaginal atrophy. ⋯ Radiofrequency was comparable in efficacy to estrogen administration for treating vulvovaginal atrophy. It deserves consideration as a viable option in managing this condition.
