Relationships between internet addiction, smartphone addiction, sleep quality, and academic performance among high-school students.
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationships between Internet addiction, smartphone addiction, sleep quality, and academic success. ⋯ Our study has shown that students' sleep quality was predicted to be lower if they stayed in a dormitory and skipped breakfast. In addition, Internet and smartphone addictions have a negative effect on sleep quality and academic performance.

Increased risk of bladder cancer recurrence due to bacillus Calmette-Guérin shortage in Brazil.
Our study aimed to evaluate the impact of bacillus Calmette-Guérin shortage on recurrence and progression in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in a Brazilian cohort. ⋯ Our study confirms that non-muscle invasive bladder cancer exhibits a high recurrence rate. The use of adjuvant bacillus Calmette-Guérin in intermediate and high-risk patients significantly reduces this rate. Furthermore, the bacillus Calmette-Guérin shortage could have negatively impacted these patients.

Clinical and uterine cervix characteristics of women with Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma in genital discharge.
The objective of this study was to assess the clinical and uterine cervix characteristics of patients displaying vaginal discharge with positive results for Mycoplasma sp. and/or Ureaplasma spp. ⋯ Ureaplasma spp. was associated with urinary tract infections and human papillomavirus, while the presence of Mycoplasma sp. was linked to reduced contraceptive use. When analyzing both pathogens together, a higher frequency of abnormal colposcopic findings was observed, with no difference in cytological findings in the positive group.

Influencing factors of recurrence after pelvic organ prolapse surgery and construction of a nomogram risk prediction model.
Pelvic organ prolapse affects women's quality of life through symptoms such as vaginal laxity, urinary incontinence, defecation and sexual dysfunction, and pelvic pain. Given the challenges in managing recurrent cases, understanding risk factors and the effect of surgical choices on recurrence is vital for guiding clinical decisions. This study explores how uterine preservation influences postoperative recurrence and develops predictive models to aid in assessing recurrence risk. ⋯ Factors such as age, birth order, uterine preservation, and pelvic floor muscle strength impact postoperative pelvic organ prolapse recurrence. Older age, a higher number of deliveries, and reduced systolic pressure of class II muscle fibers are independent risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse recurrence after surgery.

Does dietary total antioxidant capacity relate to oxidative stress levels in water immersion during labor? A case-control study.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of water immersion during the first stage of labor on maternal and neonatal oxidative stress and the association between serum and dietary total antioxidant capacity. ⋯ Women immersed in water during the first stage of labor had lower total oxidative stress levels in their postnatal maternal serum and neonatal cord blood samples and dietary total antioxidant capacity was also a factor associated with low total oxidative stress levels.
