Patterns in paternal and maternal filicide: A comparative analysis of filicide cases in Turkey.

Filicide is the act of a parent killing their own offspring. Previous studies indicate that there are both commonalities and distinctions between filicides committed by mothers and fathers. The main objective of this study was to compare maternal and paternal filicide with a major focus on clinical and sociodemographic features of perpetrators, incident details, and victims.

Fertility Desire and Motivation Among Individuals with Gender Dysphoria: A Comparative Study.

Despite receiving Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy or Gender-Affirming Surgery, which may adversely impact their fertility, people with Gender Dysphoria (GD) may desire to form families. In this study, we aimed to quantitatively display fertility desire from the perspective of these individuals, despite all the legal challenges they face. The single center, cross-sectional comparative study included individuals with GD and cisgender volunteers.

Reconstruction of the defects in the middle of the nose with subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial island flap: report of two cases.

Two cases with basal cell carcinomas on the middle of the nose were treated by using subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial island flap. There were no partial or total flap losses in either case and neither of the cases had local recurrence during the follow-up period. The subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial flap should be considered to be an alternative to the paramedian forehead flap for the reconstruction of defects on the middle of the nose.

Brain morphology of patients with body dysmorphic disorder.

Background: There has been dearth of investigations concerning morphometric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of regional brain volumes in body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). So we performed a volumetric MRI study in patients with BDD focusing on the in vivo neuroanatomy of thalamus, caudate nucleus, anterior cingulate cortex, and orbito-frontal cortex (OFC) concurrently.

Methods: The whole brain, total gray and white matter volume, thalamus, caudate nucleus, anterior cingulate cortex, and OFC volumes were blindly measured in 12 unmedicated male BDD patients not having any comorbidity and 12 male control subjects matched for age, and gender.

Lymphangiectasia of the vulva accompanying congenital lymphedema.

Lymphangiectasia is a benign condition with multiple dilated lymph vessels in the dermis. Vulvar localization is rare and mostly depends on disturbing the lymphatic flow. We present a patient with vulvar lesions and ipsilateral congenital lower extremity lymphedema.

Giant rhinophyma in a bronchial asthma patient treated by excision and full thickness skin grafting.

A 72-year-old man presented with an unusually severe case of rhinophyma. The pedunculated mass was widely excised and a skin graft from the medial upper arm was applied. A very satisfactory cosmetic result was obtained.

Severe haematoma of the vulva and defloration caused by goring.

Haematoma of the vulva may occur following a trauma due to its highly vascular structure. We present a case of haematoma of the vulva caused by goring by a cow. The hymen and vaginal wall were also lacerated.
