ren with hyperglycemia to prevent attendant high mortality.
 Dysglycemia, particularly hyperglycemia, was significantly associated with increased mortality in acutely ill children. We recommend routine bedside glucose estimation for all acutely ill children at admission to the emergency unit, to detect dysglycemia, treat hypoglycemia promptly, monitor closely, and treat aggressively the underlying conditions in children with hyperglycemia to prevent attendant high mortality.
  The present study aimed to investigate the potential of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) as prognostic markers in tinnitus patients at inflammatory process.
 
  This study consisted of 216 subjects (124 males and 92 females), Routine laboratory CBC test results were calculated in this study. All the patients were divided into three groups according to their hearing thresholds a high frequency hearing loss-tinnitus group (HFHL-TN) consisted of 55 subjects, an hearing loss in all frequencies tinnitus group (AFHL-TN) consisted of 53 subjects and a normal hearing-tinnitus group (NH-TN) consisted of 51 subjects. The control group (CNT) included 57 age-and sex-matched healthy subjects.
 
  NLR, PLR and MPV were observed in the HFHL-TN group when compared to AFHL-TN, NH-TN and CNT group (P < 0.001). An increase in NLR was observed in the AFHL-TN group compared with the CNT group (P = 0.004). The PLR value of the HFHL-TN group was significantly higher than that of the AFHL-TN (P = 0.028) and NH-TN,CNTgroup (P < 0001). The PLR value of the HFHL-TN group was significantly higher than that of the AFHL-TN (p=0.028) and NH-TN, CNT group (P < 0001). MPV values in HFHL-TN group was slightly higher AFHL-TN group and significantly higher than NH-TN (P = 0.025) and CNT (P < 0.001) group.
 
  Our results confirm that elevated NLR, PLR and MPV values has been suggested to be a useful inflammatuar prognostic biomarker of tinnitus patients.

  As enamel and finger buds have an ectodermal origin and grow at the same time, it might be supposed that factors and agents that affect dental caries might give rise to the diversity of dermatoglyphic dermal ridge patterns.
 
  The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between dental caries and dermatoglyphics in 3 to 6-year-old Iranian children.
 
  The present case-control study was performed on 3 to 6-year-old children. The decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmft) scale was used to evaluate the oral and dental health status in the participants. Then, the patients were divided into two groups 1) The case group patients with a dmft of ≥3 (101 cases); 2) the control group those with dmft value of zero (86 cases). Afterward, using a fingerprint recording device, the fingerprints were obtained from both hands of the participants.
 
  There was no significant relationship between the patterns of fingerprints and dental caries. The percentages of whorls, loops, and arches in the case group were higher than those in the control group; however, these differences were not statistically significant.
 
  Dermatoglyphic patterns could not be used as a variable for the detection or prediction of dental caries in Iranian children.

  Urinary incontinence (UI) paves the way for many health problems ranging from discomforts of continuous wetness and irritation to social isolation and depression in women.
 
  The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of UI in women aged 40 and older as well as its risk factors and also its effect on quality of life.
 
  This cross-sectional study was conducted with 286 women included in the sample. Subjects were selected randomly. The data were collected using a questionnaire, which was prepared by the researchers, and the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire.  https://www.selleckchem.com/  The data were analyzed using number, percentage, mean, Chi-square test, and binary logistic regression analysis in the SPSS program.
 
  It was found that 86 (30.1%) of the women experienced the symptom of UI. The women had mostly the mixed UI. The correlations between UI and age, educational level, status of employment, the presence of chronic diseases, chronic constipation, difficult birth history, and state of menopause were significant. Total mean score of the women with UI for the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire was 73.62 ± 24.36 and the most affected domain of the quality of life field was social embarrassment.
 
  In the present study, it was found that UI was prevalent in Turkish women and impaired their quality of life. The results can help to provide education and counseling services to women in a society-sensitive manner.

  The success of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) treatment is closely related to high levels of clinical support.
 
  In this study, we sought to analyze patient mask compliance and minor side effects and to evaluate additional nursing workload needed for the NIV care.
 
  The study was designed as a prospective and observational. The data were collected from an intensive care unit. Clinical and physiological data, patient tolerance and adverse effects, subjects' complaints about their experience, and additional nursing workload associated with NIV treatment were assessed.
 
  Statistically significant improvements were obtained in arterial blood gas analysis, respiratory rate, and heart rate during treatment. In the first 2 h, 65% of subjects had poor mask compliance, patients' comfort scores were poor, and incompliance was associated with discomfort. The ratio of skin problems was 15% in the first 24 h and reached 60% at 48 h. The pain rate due to mask ties was 80% and then increased to 90% at 48 h. There was a significant relationship between the problems detected by the nurses and problems described by the subjects.
