To investigate the effects of a magnetic field (MF) on febrile seizure latency, seizure duration, and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings in a rat febrile convulsion model. ⋯ Our results suggest that MF exposure has a negative effect on brain waves, and this effect becomes more evident with prolonged exposure. On the other hand, MF exposure significantly decreased the convulsion durations.

To establish age- and sex-specific reference intervals for essential amino acids in a healthy Turkish pediatric population. ⋯ We defined essential amino acids' reference intervals in a Turkish pediatric population.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The McGrath Series 5 video laryngoscope versus the Macintosh laryngoscope: a randomized trial in obstetric patients.
Anesthesiologists have encountered various difficulties in securing the airway. Therefore, we compare the intubation times and hemodynamic changes between the McGrath Series 5 video laryngoscope and the Macintosh laryngoscope. ⋯ The McGrath Series 5 video laryngoscope provides excellent views during orotracheal intubation in obstetric anesthesia with normal airways.

Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is proposed as a prognostic marker and found to be related to worse clinical outcomes in various cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between admission neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and in-hospital mortality in acute type I aortic dissection. ⋯ This study suggests that admission neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is a potential predictive parameter for determining the in-hospital mortality of acute type I aortic dissection.

Comparative Study
A comparison of dysfunctional voiding scores between patients with nocturnal enuresis and healthy children.
To compare dysfunctional voiding symptom scores (DVSSs) between enuretic children and nonenuretic controls and to investigate associated factors that may affect DVSS. ⋯ The DVSS is a rapid, easy tool for determining abnormal voiding parameters in children. Children with NE had higher DVSSs, which was significantly affected by the father's educational status and the child's UTI history.
