    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection leads to significant morbidity and mortality in elderly individuals. Children typically have mild illness with rare mortalities. Age and co-morbid medical conditions are the most important determinant of the infection outcome. Currently there is no clear explanation for the difference in disease severity and outcome in different age groups. Based on evolutionary biology and translational research this review suggests that the high antioxidant capacity of children leading to a balanced redox state is the key factor for mild SARS-CoV-2 infections in this age group. On the other hand, elderly individuals with low antioxidant capacity and low angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 expression are prone to severe infections by redox-sensitive immune modulation.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the association between clinical, laboratory, and functional analyses and polymorphism in the FCGR3A gene in individuals with functional NK cell deficiency.
    Methods: A total of 15 functional NK cell deficiency patients and 10 age-matched healthy controls underwent NK cell subgroup, cytotoxicity, and FCGR3A whole-exome analysis with next-generation sequencing.
    Results: Three different NK cell subsets (CD56brightCD16neg, CD56brightCD16int, and CD56dimCD16hi) were identified. No statistically significant difference was found in the ratio of CD56brightCD16neg cells between patients and controls. CD56brightCD16int and CD56dimCD16hi ratios were found to be significantly lower in patients. As a result of NK cell cytotoxicity analysis, a proportional decrease of K562 amount between patients and controls was found to be statistically significant (p<0.001). In the FCGR3A whole-exome analysis, all patients were found to be homozygous mutant for the c.526G > T (p.V176F) in exon 4, while three patients were homozygous wild type and 12 patients were heterozygous for the c.197T>A (p.L66H) in exon 3.
    Conclusion: In this study, a group of pediatric patients with suspected functional NK cell deficiency were evaluated and the findings indicated that NK subsets, cytotoxicity results, and FCGR3A gene polymorphism were found to be correlated with the clinical features. We conclude that this kind of study might contribute to follow-up the patients in time.

    Abstract Background: Vitamin D insufficiency is named "the pandemic of our era" by some experts. World Health Organization warns against a "deadlier outbreak" than the COVID-19 pandemic. Critical evidence is hereby for future pandemic prevention, with special emphasis on Vitamin D.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 172 unvaccinated adult participants, who presented to the emergency department. Blood measurements, radiological findings, and demographic features were evaluated in the four categories of "healthy adults, COVID-19 outpatients, hospitalized inpatients on the wards, and in the ICU."
    Results: Results were statistically significant in association with age, gender, weight, Vitamin D, glucose, urea, creatinine, leucocyte, aspartate transaminase, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, troponin, platelet/thrombocyte, ferritin, D-dimer, triglycerate, glycated haemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase measurements, and chest computed tomography features (each
    Conclusion: This article presents evidence to support the importance of Vitamin D for global public health. Patients with adequate levels of Vitamin D, glucose, urea, creatinine, leucocyte, aspartate transaminase, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, troponin, platelet/thrombocyte, ferritin, D-dimer, triglycerate, glycated haemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase are less likely to be admitted to ICU versus being outpatients. Factors include gender, age, weight, comorbidities, and computed tomography findings. The ultimate goal is to globally minimize preventable burdens of disease and death.

    Abstract Objective: The clinical outcome of high-risk HPV (hr-HPV) infection varies according to genotype(s). Patients may harbor either one single hr-HPV (s-HPV) or multiple HPV (m-HPV) genotypes. Recently, the relationship between m-HPV infections and high-grade dysplasia has been investigated, and controversial results have been obtained. Therefore, the clinical significance of m-HPV is not clear. This study aimed to evaluate which group is associated with higher grade dysplasia by analyzing colposcopic punch biopsies.
    Material and methods: A total of 690 patients who were scheduled for a diagnostic excisional procedure between April 2016 and January 2019 due to the detection of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2/3) in colposcopy were included. Patients who were not scheduled for colposcopic examination or cervical punch biopsy, or who were scheduled for an excisional procedure due to smear-biopsy incompatibility or persistent low-grade dysplasia were excluded. Patients with a negative HPV test and an unknown HPV genotype were also excluded.
    Results: Among the patients scheduled for excision (n=404), 74.5% had a s-HPV and 25.5% had a m-HPV infection. The proportion of CIN 1, 2 and 3 per patient in the m-HPV group was significantly higher than the s-HPV group (p=0.017). When this analysis was made for the number of CIN 2+3 per patient in the s-HPV and m-HPV groups, it was 1.29 (389/301) and 1.36 (140/103), respectively, and no difference was found (p=0.491).
    Conclusion: Patients in the m-HPV group, who underwent more colposcopic cervical biopsies, had higher numbers of CIN lesions, regardless of age and cytology results.

    Abstract Study design: This was a single-blinded randomized clinical trial.
    Introduction: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that progresses with fibrosis. Patients with SSc need to be protected against epidemic diseases and provided for in terms of rehabilitation needs.
    Purpose of the study: To compare the effects of real-time telerehabilitation (RTT) and asynchronous telerehabilitation (AT) on individuals with SSc.
    Methods: Forty-two participants with SSc with a mean age of 44.17 ± 11.05 years were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into three groups, RTT (n = 16), AT (n = 16), and control (n = 16) groups. A structured rehabilitation program was performed in real-time (RTT group) and asynchronously (AT group) for 40 minutes per day, in three sessions per week for 8 weeks. The participants' finger and wrist joint range of motion (ROM), upper extremity functions, grip strength, superficial sense of touch, activities of daily living (ADL), and general health status were assessed at baseline and after treatment.
    Results: After 8 weeks, there were improvements in finger ROM (effect size [ES] = 0.23 to 0.60), wrist ROM (ES = 0.45 to 0.83), upper extremity functions (ES = 0.61 to 1.00), and ADL parameters (ES = 0.74) in the RTT group (p < 0.05). Also, there were improvements in finger ROM (ES = 0.16 to 0.45) and hand functions (ES = 0.54 to 0.55) in the AT group (p < 0.05). The RTT and AT groups had better hand functions and finger ROM than the control group in (p < 0.05). In addition, the RTT group had better wrist ROM than the control group (p = 0.008). RTT was superior to AT only in lateral pinch strength (p = 0.025).
    Discussion: Experimental groups achieved a statistically significant change in ROM, upper extremity functions and ADL over time in concordance with prior investigations. Changes in grip strength, superficial sense of touch, and general health status scores differed from previous investigations and the between-group comparison was not statistically significant.
    Conclusions: Both RTT and AT may be effective in individuals with SSc, and RTT has additional benefits.

    Abstract Purpose: Endometrial compaction (EC) is defined as the difference in endometrial thickness from the end of the follicular phase to the day of embryo transfer (ET). We aimed to determine the role of EC in predicting assisted reproductive technology (ART) success by conducting a meta-analysis of studies reporting the association between EC and clinical outcomes of ART.
    Methods: MEDLINE via PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched from the date of inception to May 19, 2023. The primary outcome was live birth rate (LBR) per ET. Secondary outcomes were live birth or ongoing pregnancy per ET, ongoing pregnancy per ET, clinical pregnancy per ET, and miscarriage per clinical pregnancy.
    Results: Fifteen studies were included. When data from all studies reporting live birth were pooled, overall LBR rates were comparable in cycles showing EC or not [RR = 0.97, 95%CI = 0.92 to 1.02; 10 studies, 11,710 transfer cycles]. In a subgroup of studies that included euploid ET cycles, a similar LBR for patients with and without EC was noted [RR = 0.99, 95%CI = 0.86 to 1.13, 4 studies, 1172 cycles]. The miscarriage rate did not seem to be affected by the presence or absence of EC [RR = 1.06, 95%CI = 0.90 to 1.24; 12 studies].
    Conclusion: The predictive value of EC in determining LBR is limited, and assessment of EC may no longer be necessary, given these findings.
