Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of training on women with postpartum sexual dysfunction: A randomized controlled trial.
In the postpartum period, changes including pain during intercourse, lack of sexual desire, vaginal dryness, and failure to reach orgasm can affect a woman's sexual response cycle. ⋯ Our data showed a positive change in the sexual dysfunction scores of women, suggesting the education program was successful.

Case Reports
A first in literature: anesthesia management in kidney transplant surgery of a patient with McArdle disease.
McArdle disease is an inherited myopathy that autosomal recessive inheritance and is also known as glycogen storage disease type 5. Myoglobinuria, increase in serum CK level and darkening of urine color secondary to myoglobinuria are typical. Patients may have symptoms associated with increased rhabdomyolysis secondary acute renal failure or hyperkalemia after long and strenuous exercise periods. ⋯ Total intravenous anesthesia technique was chosen as the anesthesia technique because inhaled anesthetic agents may trigger malignant hyperthermia in the patient. We didn't experience any perioperative complications in our patient. In conclusion, renal transplantation performed with total intravenous in a McArdle syndrome patient may be a simple and effective technique.

Review Case Reports
Severe Thrombocytopenia with Acute Cerebral Infarction: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Common causes of thrombocytopenia include pseudo-thrombocytopenia, splenomegaly, decreased bone marrow production, and increased platelet destruction or depletion. The main clinical manifestation is bleeding, and thrombosis-related complications are rare. This article reports an 87-year-old woman with severe thrombocytopenia for more than 7 years. ⋯ Our case is different from the causes of cerebral infarction reported in previous articles, so the relationship between thrombocytopenia and acute cerebral infarction needs further study. The patient, in this case, was not given anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy but recovered well. It shows that individualized treatment is effective.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Erbium, chromium:Yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er, Cr:YSGG) laser versus diode laser in the treatment of pericoronitis.
There are limited number of studies about the lasers used for the treatment of pericoronitis infection. ⋯ Er, Cr:YSGG laser improved the healing process in the treatment of pericoronitis and made an important contribution to the treatment.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Histologic comparison of formocresol, platelet-rich fibrin, and hesperidin in pulpotomy: A randomized trial in dogs.
To histologically assess and compare formocresol (FC), platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), and hesperidin (HPN) as pulpotomy agents in dogs. ⋯ For pulpotomy, HPN and PRF seemed histologically to be good substitutes for FC in the dog model.
