Analysis of candidemia cases in a city hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSIONS: As our study observed, the COVID-19 pandemic brought increasing numbers of immunosuppressed patients, widespread use of antibacterials, and central venous catheters, increasing the frequency and mortality of candidemia cases. All health institutions should be prepared for the diagnosis and treatment of candidemia. In addition, C. auris, the frequency of which has increased in recent years, is a new factor that should be considered in candidemia cases.PMID:38567615 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35762 (Source: European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences)

Evaluation of vaccine effectiveness of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Both partial and full immunization of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine provide benefits in reducing infection rates. VE varies over time and is closely associated with viral mutations and waning immunity. The specific mechanisms require further investigation.PMID:38567617 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35764 (Source: European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences)

The importance of Epley maneuver in posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
CONCLUSIONS: In posterior canal BPPV, the Epley maneuver effectively decreased VSS values and increased VDI-SS and VDI-HQoL values. In the left-sided BPPV group, there were lower VSS values and higher VDI-HQoL values that showed better quality of life of the patients. Older age and female gender are other factors related to lower quality of life with higher symptom scores.PMID:38567577 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35718 (Source: European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences)
