The effect of a new subtype classification system on prognosis and outcome analysis in pediatric extension-type Gartland type III distal humerus supracondylar fractures

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the association of a new, isthmus-referenced subtype classification system with prognosis and clinical-radiological outcomes in pediatric extension-type Gartland type III distal humerus supracondylar fractures. Materials...

Serum Asprosin Levels in Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Case–Control Study

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease involving complex interactions between inflammatory and metabolic pathways. Asprosin is a glucogenic adipokine involved in glucose homeostasis, which has been investigated in relation to obesity, ins...

The effects of educatıon on chıldhood vaccınes gıven to pregnant women on vaccıne hesıtancy and vaccıne lıteracy: a randomızed controlled experımental study

The study aims to evaluate the effects of face-to-face education initiative supported by the “Educational Guide on Childhood Vaccination Hesitancy” given to pregnant women by the researcher on vaccine hesitancy and vaccine literacy. The present study was conducted as a pre-test/p...

Ultrasound- versus CT-guided Biopsy of Pleural-contact Pulmonary Lesions: A Comparative Analysis of Diagnostic Performance and Procedural Complications

OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic performance and complication profiles of ultrasound (US)-guided and computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy in pleural-contact pulmonary lesions and to evaluate technical factors associated with pneumothorax development after CT-guided biopsy....

Efficacy of Beta-Aminopropionitrile, Contractubex®, Nigella sativa Oil, Aloe Vera Oil, and Soybean Oil in Preventing Postoperative Adhesions in an Experimental Thyroidectomy Model

<title>Abstract</title> Background/Aim: Adhesions in reoperative thyroid surgery lead to prolonged operation times and an increase in postoperative complications. The use of anti-adhesive agents during the initial surgery may reduce the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve inju...

The Effect of Predilatation on Procedural Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Saphenous Vein Graft Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Acute Coronary Syndrome

OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) of saphenous vein grafts (SVG) are technically challenging due to friable plaques, high thrombus burden, and the risk of distal embolization. The impact of balloon predilatation on outcomes in patients presenting with acute cor...

NBN rs1805794 Polymorphism Increases the Predictive Performance of Machine Learning Models for Multiple Chronic Toxicities in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors Treated with Definitive Radiotherapy ± Chemotherapy

Objective: While advancements in radiotherapy and systemic agents have significantly improved survival rates in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), managing long-term, treatment-induced toxicities remains a critical clinical challenge. This study aimed to develop a per...

Computed tomography–based assessment of gluteal muscle asymmetry one year after total hip arthroplasty and its relationship with postoperative function

This study aimed to compare gluteal muscle quantity and quality between the operated and contralateral sides one year after unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA). Muscle thickness, cross-sectional area (CSA), and muscle density of the gluteus maximus (Gmax), gluteus medius (Gme...

A novel single‐suture cesarean uterine closure technique to prevent bleeding, resuturing and isthmocele: A three‐year follow‐up retrospective matched cohort study

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to (i) describe a new single layer continuous unlocked uterine incision closure technique during cesarean delivery (Yilmaz technique) and (ii) compare it with the commonly used single layer continuous locked suture technique regarding isthmoce...

Interdural dermoid cyst located in the posterior fossa: A rare pediatric case report

Background: Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare congenital lesions arising from ectodermal inclusions during neural tube closure. They are usually located along the midline and most commonly present as intradural lesions. Posterior fossa localization is uncommon in children, and...

Long-term peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in untreated retinopathy of prematurity with spontaneous regression at or beyond 45 weeks’ postmenstrual age

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) may be associated with persistent retinal structural differences despite spontaneous clinical regression. This study evaluated long-term peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in preterm children with untreated ROP that regressed...

Evaluation of Bruch’s membrane opening minimum rim width and retinal nerve fiber layer in patients with glaucoma and comparison with normal population

To assess and compare the diagnostic performance of Bruch’s membrane opening–minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness parameters in patients with early-stage glaucoma. This observational cross-sectional study included 60 eyes with primary open-an...

Blood Pressure and Angina-Related Health Status During Benidipine Therapy: A Multicenter Real-World Cohort Study

Background: Benidipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker used for the treatment of hypertension and chronic coronary syndrome. Although it effectively lowers blood pressure (BP), the relationship between BP reduction and improvement in angina-related health status during b...

Prognostic impact of pathological complete response in hormone receptor–positive/HER2-negative breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy: a multicenter cohort study

Pathological complete response (pCR) is an established surrogate endpoint in aggressive breast cancer subtypes; however, its prognostic role in hormone receptor (HR)-positive/HER2-negative disease remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate clinicopathological predictors of pCR a...
