[Changes/new developments in pediatric nephrology I. – Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)]

MÁTTYUS István

[In the case of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), the abnormal backflow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys increases the risk of pyelonephritis and, in severe cases, causes kidney damage.]

[Novelties and guidelines in cardiology, which can affect patients with chronic kidney failure]

SCHNEIDER Károly

[In cardiological guidelines, many strategic drugs (ACE-inhibitor/ARB, ARNi, beta-blocker, MRA, SGLT2-inhibitor) have made their way into recommendations with 1A level evidence for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, depending on the type and severity of cardiovascular involvement and the co-incidence of other various comorbidities in heart conditions. In this summary we are going to elaborate on the fundamental
characteristics of classes of medications with different mechanism of actions,
cardiological evidences for their applications, their effects on patients with chronic renal diseases –, including those with end-stage renal diseases-, focusing mostly on their common cardio- and renoprotective attributes and the cardiological guidelines and the recommendations for patients with chronic renal failure, without attempting to be comprehensive.]

[Association of upper extremity anthropometry and subcutaneus adipose tissue with carpal tunnel syndrome]

[Body mass index (BMI) is positively correlated with the frequency of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However, there are different types of obesity, and the localization of adipose tissue differs between the genders. In this study, we purposed to investigate whether there was an association between the amount of local adipose tissue thickness and anthropometry in upper extremity with the presence and/or electrophysiological severity of CTS on both genders. ]

The aim of the study was to investigate the question: Can MRI radiomics analysis of the periaqueductal gray region elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying various migraine subtypes, and can a machine learning model using these radiomics features accurately differentiate between migraine patients and healthy individuals, as well as between migraine subtypes, including atypical cases with overlapping symptoms?

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy with a benign prognosis in an immunocompetent patient – A case report

ZEYNEP ÖZDEMIR, SERAP Ruken TEKER, BURCU YÜKSEL, AYSUN SOYSA

John Cunningham virus (JCV) is most commonly acquired in childhood and is often asymptomatic throughout life. However, in the case of primary or secondary immunosuppression, it is known to cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in the central nervous system. Hereby, we describe a rare case of PML in a patient without known factors of immunosuppression or use of immunomodulation.

[Guillain-Barré syndrome caused by intravesical instillation of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin]

AKAN Serkan , ATMACA Colak Melek

[ Guillain-Barré syndrome is an acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. In the vast majority of patients, 1-4 weeks before the onset of GBS-related symptoms, an event such as upper respiratory tract or gastrointestinal tract infection, surgical intervention or vaccination is present. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of GBS that occurred after intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy in the absence of tuberculosis or any other infection in the English literature.]
