Peripheral Nerve Conduction and Anthropometric Characteristics in Elite American Football Players: An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study

Background/Objectives: American football exposes athletes to repeated collisions and intense physical loading. This exploratory study compared anthropometric characteristics and peripheral nerve conduction parameters between elite American football players and healthy sedentary m...

The Triglyceride–Glucose (TyG) Index as a Practical Marker for Predicting Outcomes After Varicocelectomy

Objective: Although microsurgical varicocelectomy improves semen parameters in many infertile men with varicocele, postoperative outcomes remain heterogeneous. Identifying reliable preoperative predictors of surgical success is therefore clinically important. The triglyceride–glu...

Coronary Artery Perforation During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Two-Center Real-World Case Series and Review of Management Strategies

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is a rare life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Although several risk factors for CAP have been described, real-world multicenter studies analyzing the clinical outcomes remain limited. This study...

Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes Among Syrian Refugee Women: A Retrospective Study from a Tertiary Hospital in Türkiye

To compare maternal, obstetric, neonatal, and hematological outcomes between Syrian refugee women and Turkish women giving birth at a tertiary hospital in Türkiye. Retrospective cross-sectional study. Sakarya Training and Research Hospital, a tertiary public hospital in Türkiye,...

Analysis code: eMAC fraction during two maintenance regimens at a common BIS range

Statistical analysis code for a prospective, observational, single-center cohort study that compared the equivalent minimum alveolar concentration (eMAC) fraction displayed by the anesthesia workstation between two maintenance regimens (sevoflurane, propofol, and remifentanil ver...

Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Achilles Tendon Thickness in the Emergency Department: A Novel Measurement Method

Objective: Increased Achilles tendon thickness is associated with hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease, and ultrasonography is the preferred method for its assessment. This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between Achilles tendon ultrasonographic measurements obta...

Radiographic Changes in Patellar Height Following Rapid Weight Loss After Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Retrospective Observational Study

Background/Objectives: Rapid weight loss following sleeve gastrectomy substantially reduces mechanical loading across the lower extremities, yet its effects on patellar height remain unknown. This study investigated early postoperative radiographic changes in patellar height foll...

External Validation of Clinical Risk Scores and Machine Learning Models for Predicting 30-Day Cardiovascular Risk After Noncardiac Surgery: The PERICARE Study

Background: Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a promising approach for preoperative cardiovascular risk prediction; however, the generalizability of ML models across institutions remains uncertain. Moreover, comprehensive head-to-head comparisons between ML algorithms and esta...

Clinical and pathological characteristics of mucinous adenocarcinoma in colon cancer: comparison with classic adenocarcinoma

Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon is defined by extracellular mucin occupying at least 50% of the tumour. Although it is often regarded as a distinct histological subtype, its clinicopathological profile remains variable across published series. We compared mucinous and classi...

Beyond Traditional Continuous Performance Tests: The Incremental Diagnostic Value of Distractor-Embedded Paradigms

Objective Distractor-embedded continuous performance test (CPT) paradigms have been developed to enhance the ecological validity and diagnostic precision of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) assessment. This study aimed to quantitatively synthesize the diagnostic pe...

Blood Pressure and Angina-Related Health Status During Benidipine Therapy: A Multicenter Real-World Cohort Study

Background: Benidipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker used for the treatment of hypertension and chronic coronary syndrome. Although it effectively lowers blood pressure (BP), the relationship between BP reduction and improvement in angina-related health status during b...

Impact of adjuvant endocrine therapy on disease-free survival in early triple-positive breast cancer: a multicenter retrospective cohort study of the Turkish oncology group

Triple-positive breast cancer (TPBC), characterized by concurrent ER, PR, and HER2 positivity, poses unique therapeutic challenges due to ER–HER2 crosstalk. The optimal adjuvant endocrine therapy in TPBC patients receiving anti-HER2 regimens remains poorly defined. This multicent...
