Compares neonatal morbidity in late preterm pregnancies with small-for-gestational-age fetuses, between those exposed and not exposed to antenatal corticosteroids (ACS).

Evaluates urinary activated leucocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) and CD6 as predictors of lupus nephritis (LN) progression or disease resolution across a 1-year study.

The association of AA with malignancies has been a scope of controversy as the current literature is highly inconsistent in this regard. To evaluate the association between AA and hematological malignancies (HMs) and solid malignancies (SMs) using a large-scale, real-life computerized database. A cross-sectional study was conducted to compare the prevalence of HMs and SMs among patients with AA relative to age-, sex-, and ethnicity-matched control subjects.

Antibiotic overuse is a growing concern in health care. For pediatric odontogenic infections, the necessity of postoperative antibiotics lacks clear, evidence-based guidelines. The purpose of this study was to compare treatment outcomes between pediatric patients hospitalized with vestibular space odontogenic infections who received postoperative antibiotics and those who did not.

Clear guidelines have not been established about the utility of TORCH serology testing in women for whom TORCH infection is suspected according to clinical and laboratory manifestations during pregnancy. We aimed to compare rates of TORCH infections [specifically cytomegalovirus (CMV), Toxoplasma and rubella] in women who underwent TORCH serology testing due to maternal- versus fetal-related indications.

Determine the effectiveness of surgical loupes in reducing postoperative RLN palsy and hypocalcemia following thyroidectomy.

Hemodialysis patients are susceptible to excess volume accumulation, particularly over the 2-day interval (long interdialytic gap), resulting in higher interdialytic weight gain (IDWG). We thought to determine whether a novel device designed to enhance fluid and salt loss by activating the eccrine sweat glands can mitigate IDWG.

Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis is a common inflammatory condition resulting from the violation of the Schneiderian membrane by conditions arising from the dentoalveolar unit, which includes teeth, their supporting structures, and adjacent tissues. This study aims to evaluate a modified surgical approach for treating this condition.

Idiopathic polyhydramnios is associated with adverse neonatal outcome. The aim of this study was to examine the value of the middle cerebral artery pulsatility index (MCA-PI) in predicting adverse perinatal outcome in pregnancies affected by idiopathic polyhydramnios.

This study aimed to evaluate the attitudes of Israeli elderly population towards COVID-19 and influenza vaccines, and to assess factors contributing to these attitudes.

Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) has been suggested for the treatment of traumatized necrotic immature teeth. There are only a few reports of using RET to treat a horizontal root fracture. The aim of this paper is to describe successful regenerative retreatment in a tooth with a horizontal root fracture and dens invaginatus.

Objective: To investigate primiparous women's knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the physical home food environment (PHFE) and to assess if the first pregnancy provides a teachable opportunity to enhance the PHFE of first-time pregnant couples.

In the current study, we sought to evaluate the risk lifetime and time-stratified risk of PP, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (PPP), erythrodermic psoriasis (EP), and nail psoriasis (NP) in a large cohort of patients diagnosed with an episode of GP.

There is limited and inconsistent evidence that imply a relationship between ABO blood types and rate of preterm birth (PTB). We aim to examine the association between maternal ABO blood group and PTB rate.
