Isolated Pancreatic Neck Injury Due to Motorbike Accident.

Isolated pancreatic injuries that result from blunt abdominal trauma are a rare occurrence due to the retroperitoneal location of the pancreas that shields the pancreas from trauma. The nonspecific clinical presentations of patients can delay the diagnosis and complicate the decision in patient care. It is crucial that a high degree of suspicion is maintained for pancreatic injuries in cases like this one.

Diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration biopsy versus postoperative histopathology for diagnosing thyroid malignancy.

Introduction: Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is currently widely used for the initial screening of patients with thyroid nodules enabling prevention of unnecessary surgery. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyse the diagnostic accuracy of thyroid FNAB compared with postoperative histopathology of a large cohort from Azerbaijan.

Methods: We evaluated the FNAB results of 738 patients who underwent thyroid surgery at the National Centre of Oncology in Azerbaijan.

Breast Cancer Patients with Brain Metastases: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The prognosis of breast cancer patients with brain metastasis is poor. It was aimed to define the clinicopathological features of breast cancer patients with brain metastases and to determine the risk factors and survival outcomes associated with brain metastasis. This is a single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study.

Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty implications in young patients with post-traumatic sequelae.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) performed for trauma sequelae in patients <45 years of age.

Methods: This retrospective study included 63 patients aged <45 years who underwent TEA between 2005 and 2017 for previous elbow injuries. The average follow-up period was 5.

Evaluation of toxic effects of chemotherapy in lung malignancies on cerebral white matter using diffusion tensor imaging.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Carboplatin and cisplatin based regimens are used in the treatment of NSCLC. The aim of the study was to find out whether there is a difference in white matter (WM) changes between two platinum-based chemotherapy agents using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).

Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor of the Testis.

A 21-year male presenting with left testicular mass and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy underwent radical orchiectomy; and his pathological examination showed a mixed germ cell tumor composed of primitive neuroectodermal tumor mixed with mature teratoma. Six cycles of IE (ifosfamide, etoposide) and VAC (vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy were given after sperm preservation. He then underwent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND).

The value of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE PET/CT in diagnosis and management of suspected pituitary tumors.

Background: Gallium 68-tetraazacyclododecane-tetraacetic acid-octreotate ([68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE) is a selective somatostatin analogue ligand, which shows increased affinity for somatostatin receptor subtype (SSTR) 2 and has been used routinely for imaging neuroendocrine tumors with PET/CT. We investigated the utility of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with suspected pituitary pathology. We reviewed imaging for twenty consecutive patients (8 men, 12 women, mean age of 48.

Successful retreatment with erlotinib after erlotinib-related interstitial lung disease.

Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors are effectively being used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Although most of their adverse effects are mild to moderate, they occasionally can cause life-threatening interstitial lung disease. We aimed to present a case of lung adenocarcinoma successfully re-treated with erlotinib after recovery with effective treatment of erlotinib-induced interstitial lung disease.

Electrodeposition and Growth of Iron from an Ethylene Glycol Solution.

The electrochemical reduction of iron (III) ions into zero-valent iron from a solution of ethylene glycol was accomplished. The kinetics and mechanism of the electroreduction process were investigated by cyclic and linear polarization techniques. The influence of temperature, potential sweep rate, and concentration of iron (III) ions on the electroreduction process was also studied.

evaluation of estrogenic, antiestrogenic and antitumor effects of amentoflavone.

Apigenin, a flavonoid, is reported to act as an estrogen receptor (ER) agonist and inhibit aromatase enzyme. However, amentoflavone, a biflavonoid bearing two apigenin molecules, has not been evaluated for its endocrine modulatory effects. Besides, it is highly consumed by young people to build muscles, enhance mood and lose weight.

Primary pituitary abscess mimicking meningitis in a pediatric patient.

Introduction: Pituitary abscess is a rare lesion of the pituitary gland that can cause morbidity and mortality in the absence of appropriate treatment. They are classified as primary and secondary pituitary abscesses. Primary pituitary abscesses occur in patients with no previous pituitary pathology.

Is lymph node dissection necessary for staging while undergoing nephrectomy in patients with renal cell carcinoma?

Objective: The essential treatment for patients with renal cell carcinoma is nephrectomy. As no lymph node dissection (LND) could be performed in the majority of these patients, healthy staging could not be carried out. In this study, we investigated the impact of LND during nephrectomy on patient survival.

Importance of combined use of preoperative F-FDG PET/CT imaging and intraoperative F-FDG handheld gamma probe detection in recurrent papillary thyroid cancer.

Radio-guided surgery using an intra-operative positron emission tomography (PET) probe in recurrent thyroid cancer (RTC) can be a useful method for tumor localization, verification of complete excision and to decrease operation time. We describe a case of RTC whose serum thyroglobulin (Tg) level was 5.6ng/mL.
