Relationship between body composition and PBRM1 mutations in clear cell renal cell carcinoma: a propensity score matching analysis.
This study aimed to examine the relationship between body muscle and adipose tissue composition in clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients with PBRM1 gene mutation. ⋯ This study shows that there was no difference between adipose tissue areas in patients with PBMR1 mutation, but normal attenuated muscle area was found to be higher in PBRM1 patients.

Evaluation of the relationship between toxicity of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors and body surface area.
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the toxicity of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors and body mass index and body surface area. ⋯ No statistically significant difference was found between body mass index groups and side effects. Grade 3 neutropenia was more common in patients on palbociclib with a body surface area≤1.77. In our study, it was revealed that less hematological side effects can be encountered when body surface area is taken into account.

Observational StudyInvestigation of the effectiveness of teledermatology in the diagnosis of skin lesions in pediatric patients.
Teledermatology is the use of communications technology to enable the remote evaluation of skin lesions. Dermatological complaints are common among pediatric patients and should be handled differently than adults. The aim of this study is to group the dermatological lesions of pediatric patients who visited a dermatology outpatient clinic and to investigate in which groups the teledermatology method is more effective. ⋯ Teledermatology is a reliable diagnostic method that shortens the waiting time of patients and provides a quick consultation with a dermatologist. When using the teledermatology method, it is important to know which skin lesions or disease groups are more accurately diagnosed.
