Randomized Controlled Trial
Prediction of intensive care admission and hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients using demographics and baseline laboratory data.
Optimized allocation of medical resources to patients with COVID-19 has been a critical concern since the onset of the pandemic. ⋯ The authors developed and validated prognostic scores that use readily available clinical and laboratory information to predict ICU admission and mortality in COVID-19. These scores can become valuable tools to support clinical decisions and improve the allocation of limited health resources.

Randomized Controlled Trial
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.

Randomized Controlled Trial
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.
