Background: Appendix neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are the most common tumors of the appendix and are most often diagnosed incidentally. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate appendix NETs diagnosed incidentally in our clinic.
Methods: Of 8304 patients who underwent appendectomy with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in Ankara Training and Re-search Hospital, General Surgery Clinic between January 2009 and January 2022, 33 had histopathology results evaluated as appendix NET, and a retrospective analysis was made of these cases.
Article Synopsis
- Red ginseng (Rg) has been traditionally used for medicinal purposes and this study investigates its effects on wound healing in diabetic rats through various application methods (local, systemic, and combined).
- In the experiment, 60 rats were divided into four groups, and a wound was treated with Rg extracts over 14 days, showing improved wound contraction in all treated groups compared to the control.
- The results indicated that while all Rg applications enhanced healing, the combined treatment showed the best outcomes with elevated VEGF levels and a more favorable immune response ratio.
Objective: To investigate the effect of sarcopenia on surgical outcomes in patients with primary high-grade serous ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS and HIPEC).
Study Design: Descriptive study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Surgical Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, Ankara University Ankara, Turkey, from January 2013 to January 2020.
Objective: To investigate the predictive effect of preoperative inflammatory factors on overall survival (OS) in patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC).
Study Design: Observational study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of General Surgery, Ankara Training and Research Hospital, between January 2011 and October 2020.
Background/aims: To evaluate the potential protective effects of Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) in an experimental obstructive jaundice (OJ) model.
Materials And Methods: The study included 26 female rats, which were divided into 3 groups. The sham group, consisting of 10 rats, (group 1) only received solely laparotomy.
Background/aim: To investigate possible protective effects of Ankaferd Blood Stopper® (ABS) in an experimental liver ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) model.
Materials And Methods: The study was carried out on 30 female rats separated into 3 groups as sham, control (IRI), and treatment (IRI + ABS) groups. In the IRI + ABS group, 0.
The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is clinically accepted as a marker of systemic inflammatory response. In breast cancer patients, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio can be used as an important prognostic indicator of survival. In routine laboratory tests, the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio can also be examined in addition to neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.

Methods: Between April 2015 and March 2016, 94 lesions of 94 patients with the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma were included in the study. Strain elastography was performed on all patients before biopsy.
