In this single-center study, we aimed to analyze texture features of primary uterine lesions on 18F-FDG PET/CT to predict lymph node metastases. ⋯ The radiomics analysis of intratumoral heterogeneity is a promising method for improving triage of the patients for lymph node dissection in endometrial carcinoma.

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a condition that may cause multiple organ dysfunction and has a high rate of mortality and morbidity. Therapeutic hypothermia is the only proven treatment that decreases the sequel and mortality rate of neonates that are born after 36 weeks of pregnancy and have moderate-severe HIE. ⋯ This study demonstrated that the depth of acidosis in the blood gas, multiple organ dysfunction, and the existence of early-onset seizures are the signs of poor prognosis. Therefore, physicians need to be aware of such prognostic factors to follow these patients more closely in terms of possible complications and to inform their parents.

CoronaVac is an inactivated virus-based COVID-19 vaccine used in Turkey and approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization (WHO). In this study, it was aimed to retrospectively evaluate the mutation status and clinical status in individuals who received two doses of CoronaVac vaccine and were infected with COVID-19 at least two weeks after the second dose. ⋯ In conclusion, people who receive two doses of CoronaVac vaccine can be reinfected with mutant viruses, vaccine significantly reduces the need for hospitalization, CT findings and intensive care.

The aim of this study is to determine the risk of cancer in patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) from a single center in Turkey. ⋯ The risk of hematological and solid cancers was higher in the patients with pSS when compared to general population. In our pSS cohort, the risk for ovarian cancer was found to be increased, which has not been previously reported in the literature.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a supervised group exercise therapy based on the biopsychosocial model introduced simultaneously with antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy in anti-TNF-naive patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS). ⋯ The supervised group exercise therapy based on the biopsychosocial model introduced simultaneously with anti-TNF therapy is more effective than only anti-TNF therapy in anti-TNF-naive patients with active AS.
