The quality of life decreases in patients with sudden hearing loss due to hearing problems. In addition, complications due to hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reduce the quality of life. ⋯ At the end of the nurse-led hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients with sudden hearing loss, the quality of life increased and the hearing loss decreased. The most important factor affecting the quality of life was the persistence of symptoms of sudden hearing loss.

Intrauterine occupying lesion is clinically common in the female reproductive organs. Endometrial cancer is the most critical one among intrauterine occupying lesions, which accordingly is considered as the main indication for endometrial cancer screening, for which endometrial sampler SAP-1 was recommended as an effective sampling tool. ⋯ Endometrial sampler SAP-1 is not effective in detection of solid intrauterine lesions indicated by the imaging examination. Hysteroscopy is recommended for definite diagnosis.

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) causes organ dysfunction as a result of the increased formation of various reactive oxygen metabolites, infiltration of inflammatory cells, interstitial edema, cellular dysfunction, and tissue death. ⋯ The results of this study suggest that MESNA has a protective effect on tissues by suppressing cellular responses to oxidants and inflammatory mediators associated with carotid ischemia-reperfusion.
