Role of CSE1L expression in determining recurrence and survival of laryngeal tumors.

Purpose: The correlation of CSE1L (human chromosomal segregation 1-like) staining intensity with disease-free survival, disease recurrence and development of distant metastases in Advanced Laryngeal Tumors.

Methods: Specimens of patients with advanced glottic larynx cancer (T3, T4) were evaluated for nuclear CSE1L staining intensity. According to mild, moderate and severe CSE1L staining, patients were compared in terms of disease-free survival, disease recurrence and development of distant metastases.

The role of CSE1L expression in cervical lymph node metastasis of larynx tumors.

Introduction: According to international reports, 30-40% of all head and neck cancers are larynx cancers, comprising 1-2.5% of all cancer types. Cervical nodal involvement has been reported to be 40% and 65% in T3 and T4 cases, respectively.

Lip cancer: Reconsidering the at-risk patients with pathological assessment.

Objectives: This study was aimed to overview the treatment protocols of lip cancer and find out a cutoff point of tumor diameter and depth of invasion (DOI) for the survival parameters.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and ninety-one patients with lip SCC were studied.

Results: The average age of the patients was 62 years.

Fecal calprotectin is associated with disease activity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Calprotectin is one of the major antimicrobial S100 leucocyte proteins. Serum calprotectin levels are associated with certain inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of this study was to investigate serum and fecal calprotectin levels in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and show their potential relations to the clinical findings of the disease.

[Treated with Artemether-Lumefantrine Five Evaluation of P. Falciparum Malaria Cases in Terms of Hyponatremia and Thrombocytopenia].

The most severe type of malaria, P. falciparum may progress with several complications. We have detected hyponatremia and thrombocytopenia in the cases with falciparum malaria.

Effect of microorganisms on etiology of hematospermia.

Background: Hematospermia is the presence of blood in the ejaculate. Its etiology is congenital, inflammatory, infectious, obstructive, tumoral, vascular, traumatic, iatrogenic or related to systemic disease. It is a quite irritating and life-quality-disturbing condition for men.

The prevalence of antinuclear antibodies in patients with sarcoidosis.

Introduction. Sarcoidosis, which is a chronic inflammatory granulomatous disease, can mimic different rheumatologic diseases including connective tissue diseases. Antinuclear antibodies are the markers used for connective tissue diseases.

Synthesis of new 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and preliminary evaluation of anticonvulsant and antimicrobial activities.

Two new series of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles were synthesized for their possible anticonvulsant, antibacterial and antifungal activities. The degree of protection afforded by these compounds at a dose of 100mg/kg i.p.
