Effectiveness of peripheral nerve blockage on the symptoms of both diseases in patients with fibromyalgia and chronic migraine coexistence.
Peripheral nerve blockage treatments reduce central sensitization and are effective in patients with migraine. We wanted to evaluate the efficacy of peripheral nerve blockage in patients with fibromyalgia and migraine whose etiology may be responsible for central sensitization, and their associations are common. ⋯ Peripheral nerve blockage has been found to be an effective treatment for the symptoms of both diseases in patients with migraine and fibromyalgia coexistence.

Effects of perilipin-5 on lipid metabolism and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I.
Heart attack is one of the most common causes of sudden death in adults. Therefore, early detection of heart attack and investigation of potential new biomarkers are of great importance. We investigated whether perilipin-5 is a potential biomarker by examining changes in perilipin-5 serum levels along with high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I during a heart attack. ⋯ Our results showed that perilipin-5 together with high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I could be a promising biomarker in heart attack.

The effect of nutritional scores on mortality in COVID-19 patients.
While studies on the treatment for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continue all over the world, factors that increase the risk of severe disease have also been the subject of research. Malnutrition has been considered an independent risk factor. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the clinical effect of dietary habits and evaluate the prognostic value of the Controlling Nutritional Status score in the COVID-19 patients we followed up. ⋯ Higher Controlling Nutritional Status scores may be effective in determining in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19. Nutrition scores can be used as a useful and effective parameter to determine prognosis in patients with COVID-19.

ICD indication in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: which algorithm to use?
This study aimed to evaluate the agreement in the indication of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in patients with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, as per the 2014 European Society of Cardiology and 2020 American Heart Association recommendations, and evaluate fragmented QRS as a predictor of cardiovascular outcome. ⋯ sudden cardiac death risk stratification algorithms present discrepancies in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator indication, both with low accuracy.
