Corpus callosum area and sectioning: a radioanatomical study correlated with MRI and cadaver morphometry.

Purpose: The corpus callosum (CC) is the primary interhemispheric connection between the two cerebral hemispheres. Besides their similar morphological characters, there are differences in their measurements. This study aimed to divide the CC into groups using planes based on the anterior commissure (AC) and posterior commissure (PC) and to detect differences in CC magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cadaver samples between these groups.

Evaluation of the level of problem solving skills of Turkish higher education graduates in technology-rich environments.

This study aims to evaluate the level of Turkish higher education graduates' problem-solving skills (PSSs) in technology-rich environments (TREs) at work and daily life as information and communication technologies are increasingly used in economic and social structure. It also investigates the effects of socio-demographic factors including gender, age, the field of study, and higher education attainment level on their PSSs in TREs. In this context, the data concerning Turkish higher education graduates' PSSs released by the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) in 2016 was used.

Neuropeptide-S affects cognitive impairment and depression-like behavior on MPTP induced experimental mouse model of Parkinson’s disease.

Background/aim: The present study proposes to investigate the effect of neuropeptide–S (NPS) on cognitive functions and depression-like behavior of MPTP-induced experimental model of Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Materials And Methods: Three-month-old C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups as; Control, Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and MPTP + NPS 0.1 nmol (received intraperitoneal injection of MPTP and intracerebroventricular injection of NPS, 0.

Unilateral common carotid artery dissection in a patient with recent COVID-19: An association or a coincidence?

The "Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)", caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), progressed rapidly since its first outbreak, and quickly developed into a pandemic. Although COVID-19 mostly presents with respiratory symptoms, researchers have started reporting neurologic manifestations such as cerebrovascular diseases in patients, with COVID-19 as the pandemic has progressed. Herein, we report a case of 38-year-old female patient identified with a left common carotid artery dissection, with COVID-19.

The Diagnostic Value of the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System Classification and Shear-Wave Elastography for the Differentiation of Thyroid Nodules.

This study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) classification and shear-wave elastography (SWE) for the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules. This retrospective study enrolled 141 patients (18-84 y of age) undergoing thyroidectomy between January 2015 and August 2020. All statistical analysis was based on pathologic results of patients.

Use of the COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS) classification and chest computed tomography involvement score (CT-IS) in COVID-19 pneumonia.

Purpose: The increasing tendency of chest CT usage throughout the COVID-19 epidemic requires new tools and a systematic scheme for diagnosing and assessing the lung involvement in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). To investigate the use of the COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS) classification and chest CT Involvement Score (CT-IS) in COVID-19 pneumonia.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 280 hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia in a tertiary hospital in Turkey.

Is sarcopenia really a risk factor in the development of postoperative complications?

Purpose: This study was aimed to evaluate the impact of sarcopenia, which was defined by total psoas area (TPA) and total psoas volume (TPV) measurements, on the development of major postoperative complications.

Material-methods: Sarcopenia was assessed in 225 patients with gastrointestinal cancer who underwent surgery between October 2015 and March 2020. The impact of sarcopenia defined by TPA and TPV on major postoperative complications was assessed using multivariate analysis.

Cystic Hygroma with Multiple Benign Bone Lymphangiomas in an Adult Patient: A Rare Entity in the Differential Diagnosis of Multiple Osseous Lesions in Oncology Practice.

Cystic lymphangioma presenting with multiple bone lesions in an adult patient is a rare occurrence, with a limited number of reported cases in the literature. In this case report, we describe a 32-year old female patient with chronic neck and pelvic pain, and multiple lytic bone lesions on radiological imaging, which were eventually discovered to originate from cystic hygroma and widespread bone lymphangiomas that were present for more than 10 years. It should be kept in mind that there may be multiple benign causes of differential diagnosis in patients presenting with findings suggestive of diffuse bone metastasis.

Investigation of the arterial intima-media thickness in Behcet's disease patients without vascular complaints.

Objectives Behcet's disease is a multisystemic, inflammatory disease. Various factors have been implicated in the disease, including genetics, infections, immunoglobulins, immune complexes, antibodies, and oxidative stress. However, the underlying etiopathogenesis remains unclear.

Evaluation of the multi-slice computed tomography outcomes in diaphragmatic injuries related to penetrating and blunt trauma.

Purpose: Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is a diagnostic challenge for both surgeons and radiologists and generally occurs secondary to blunt and penetrating trauma of thoracoabdominal region.

Material And Methods: 56 patients who underwent surgical procedure due to blunt or penetrating trauma were included to the study.

Results: There were 37 diaphragmatic ruptures in the left side and 19 patients in the right side.
