ABSTRACT: Objectives : Starting from the 1900's minimally invasive methods such as endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) developed. Methods: This study includes a total of 136 patients (81 women/55 men), of whom 22 (10 women/12 men) were treated with classic surgical stripping, 54 (32 women/22 men) with thermal ablation and 60 (39 women/55 men) with non-thermal ablation. Results: Twenty-two patients (10 women/12 men) were treated with surgical stripping. In one female patient a hematoma arose in the medial crural region postoperatively. A radiofrequency catheter (ThermoBLOCK TM) was used in the thermal ablation procedures in 54 patients (32 female/22 male). It is believed that permanent paresthesia occured in one female patient after the procedure. In 3 male patients temporary paresthesia occured postoperatively. Non- thermal ablation was performed in 60 patients(39 female/55 male). Even through a severe burning sensation was present in 6 patients (5 female/1 male) during the procedure, this symptom was only transient. In one of the patients, deep venous thrombosis (DVT) occured at the level of the popliteal vein postoperatively at the sixth day. Conclusion: Even if thermal and non-thermal ablation and surgical procedures have the same pain decreasing rates, hematomas and a longer hospital stay are more frequent in surgical procedures.

Objective: Cervical cytology (CC) is a routine screening method used to reduce cervical cancer. Although anal cancer and cervical cancer have similar etiological factors the opinion about the anal cancer screening program is unclear. We aimed to determine the features of women with abnormal anal cytology (AC) who had screened via CC for cervical neoplasia. Methods: Two hundred and five females' CC results were investigated. The patients with normal CC were excluded, finally 87 participants were included. The demographics, medical, sexual, and reproductive features, CC and AC results were analyzed. Results: The study group had a mean age of 40.77 ± 9.50 years. AC was pathological in six patients (6.9%). Four of these (66.7%) were high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and two (33.3%) were low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL). The CC results of these patients were all HSIL, all of them were human papillomavirus (HPV) positive, with the most common type being 16 (83.3%). Conclusion: Women with HSIL in CC (especially with concomitant HPV) may be riskier for AC positivity. The others are most likely to have negative AC results. The use of AC for early diagnosis of risky anal intraepithelial lesions (such as a screening tool) may be considered for this group of patients.

Introduction: Optic neuritis (ON) is the most common ocular finding of multiple sclerosis (MS). ON can cause axonal loss and abnormalities in both optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters and visual evoked potentials (VEPs). In this study, the retinal fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC) and macular thicknesses were measured with OCT and compared between MS cases with and without a clinical history of ON and healthy individuals. In addition, it was examined whether these values were correlated with VEP and clinical findings and whether they could be used as a marker of axonal loss. Method: The study included 49 patients with MS (98 eyes) and 30 healthy controls (60 eyes) aged 18-55 years. Visual acuity and color vision, VEP measurement, and OCT measurement were evaluated. Results and Conclusion: The RNFL, foveal and macular thickness were found to be smaller among the patients with a history of ON than those without this history and the control group. The RNFL, GCC, foveal and macular thicknesses can be interchangeably used to show the relationship between axonal degeneration and optic nerve involvement in the course of MS.

Food allergy is defined as an immune-mediated response to food. Food allergy after solid organ transplantation was first described in 1997 after liver and kidney transplantation. A three years- five-month-old male was admitted with swelling of the lip after food intake. He had received a liver transplant from a living donor at ten months of age due to biliary atresia. Treatment with tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil was monitored, and he was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of swelling of the lip that developed immediately after eating eggs in our department at 20 months of age. No associated respiratory, skin, or gastrointestinal findings were observed in the case, who had previously consumed eggs without problems. Later, after consuming honey and tahini mixture, corn with mayonnaise sauce at different times, swelling developed on his lips and eyes. According to tests, egg, peanut, and hazelnut were excluded from the patient's diet. The case was followed up with diet therapy for two years without any problems. Organ donors should be screened for food allergies to predict the risk of organ recipients for new food allergies after transplantation. Although there is no evidence of food allergies in the donor, it should be kept in mind that new food allergy may develop in patients who have undergone solid organ transplantation, and patients should be followed up in this regard.

Neonatal hipoglisemi yenidoğan döneminde sık görülen, yaşamın ilerleyen dönemlerini de etkileyen bir sağlık sorunudur. Hipoglisemi akut ve kronik komplikasyonlara neden olarak yenidoğan bebeğin büyümesi ve gelişmesinde kalıcı ve geri dönüşümsüz nörolojik sorunlara yol açabilmektedir. Hipoglisemiyi saptamak için en duyarlı test halen plazma glukozu ile ölçümü olsa da, yıllardır kullanılan geleneksel glukoz ölçüm yöntemleri ile birlikte son yıllarda noninvaziv glukoz ölçüm yöntemlerindeki gelişmeler ile riskli bebeklerde hipogliseminin tanı ve tedavisinde bu teknolojik ölçüm yöntemleri yaygın kullanılmaya başlamıştır. Glukometre, kan gazı analizatörleri, laboratuvarda enzimatik ölçüm geleneksel ölçüm yöntemleri iken, sürekli glukoz ölçüm sistemleri yeni nesil glukoz ölçümünde yer almaya başlayan yeni bir tekniktir. Hipoglisemi gelişimini engellemek için koruyucu önlemler alırken erken dönemde anne sütü ile emzirme desteği sağlanmalı ve teşvik edilmelidir. Hangi durumların hipoglisemi için risk oluşturduğu, hangi glukoz eşik değerinde tedavi vermek gerektiği ve son kullanılan yeni nesil glukoz ölçüm yöntemlerinin etkileri ve güncel tedaviler bu derlemede tartışılmıştır. Riskli bebeklerde kan şekeri ölçümleri ve klinik bulguların gözlenmesi yanında hipoglisemide ayırıcı tanı yapılarak tedavinin yönetilmesi de prognozda önemli bir yer tutar.

Hipoglisemi gelişimini engellemek için koruyucu önlemler alırken erken dönemde anne sütü ile emzirme desteği sağlanmalı ve teşvik edilmelidir. Hangi durumların hipoglisemi için risk oluşturduğu, hangi glukoz eşik değerinde tedavi vermek gerektiği ve son kullanılan yeni nesil glukoz ölçüm yöntemlerinin etkileri ve güncel tedaviler bu derlemede tartışılmıştır. Riskli bebeklerde kan şekeri ölçümleri ve klinik bulguların gözlenmesi yanında hipoglisemide ayırıcı tanı yapılarak tedavinin yönetilmesi de prognozda önemli bir yer tutar.","PeriodicalId":30746,"journal":{"name":"Mustafa Kemal Universitesi Tip Dergisi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47973941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Amaç: Kolorektal kanser, erken tespitinde cerrahi kür sağlanabilen yaygın bir kanser türüdür. Bu kanser tipinde tedaviye yanıtın erken belirlenmesi yaşam süresini olumlu etkilemektedir. Çalışmamızda kolorektal kanseri olan hastaların, ameliyat sonrasındaki klinik yönetimlerinde F-18 FDG PET/BT’nin tanısal önemini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Haziran 2016 ve Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasında 168 hasta kolorektal kanser yönetimi amacıyla bölümümüze yönlendirilmiştir. Bu hastaların hepsi primer kolon tümörleri için ameliyat edilmişlerdi. Sistemik tedavi öncesinde ve sonrasında tedavi yanıtının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla bazal ve ardışık F-18 FDG PET/BT incelemesi yapılmıştır. F-18 FDG PET/BT taramaları sırasıyla analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Hastalar primer tümör lokalizasyonlarına göre gruplandırıldı. Toplam 168 hastanın 55’inde sağ kolonda, 33’ünde sol kolonda, 14’ünde transvers kolonda, 61’inde rektosigmoid kolonda ve 5’inde çekumda primer tümör saptandı. Lokal rekürrens 57 hastada saptanmış olup 33’ü erkek (%57.9) ve 24’ü (%42.1) kadındı. Lokal rekürrense ait ortalama SUVmaks 8.97±3.42 g/ml olarak saptandı. Ek olarak çıkan kolon grubunda 2 hastada (%1.20) yeni tümöral odak gözlendi. Sonuç: Kolorektal kanserli hastalarda, yapılabiliyorsa kolon rezeksiyonu tedavide ilk aşamadır. Küratif cerrahi sonrası ilk iki yıl içinde, hastaların yaklaşık %40’ında rekürrens görülebilmektedir. Rekürrensin erken tespiti, hastaların yaşam süresini iyileştirmektedir.

OBJECTIVE: Our study aimed to investigate changes in patient satisfaction and quality of life according to the anesthesia method applied for transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) due to benign prostatic hypertrophy in geriatric patients with lower urinary system symptoms. METHODS: A total of 60 patients scheduled for TUR-P were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups as those receiving spinal anesthesia and those receiving general anesthesia. We recorded demographic data and preoperative and perioperative parameters. We evaluated the postoperative quality of life and satisfaction of the patients using the Short Form-36 scale. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic data and hemodynamic changes. There was a higher rate of patients who consumed alcohol and smoked in the general anesthesia group (p0.005). The scores in the physical functioning (p
