The role of diminishing appetite and serum nesfatin-1 level in patients with burn wound infection.

Background: The burn wound represents a susceptible site for opportunistic colonization by organisms of endogenous and exogenous origin. Diminishing appetite is known to occur in patients with burn infection, yet its underlying reason is not fully understood. We have examined the levels of nesfatin 1, a protein that we consider to be a potential new treatment target for the solution of appetite and nutrition problem in patients with burn infection.

Genetic alterations in benign, preneoplastic and malignant breast lesions.

Context: The c-erbB-2 proto-oncogene is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family and has been associated with a more aggressive breast tumor biology and resistance to some types of treatments.

Aims: The aim is to investigate the correlation among bcl-2 and c-erbB-2 and the micronucleus (MN) formation in patients with early breast cancer (BC).

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted between May 2010 and December 2011.

A comparison of the morbidity and mortality of tandir burns and non-tandir burns: experience in two centers.

Background: We examine herein the demographic characteristics, implemented treatment methods, infection rates, and morbidities of patients with tandir burns from two burn centers.

Methods: In this study, gender, age, socioeconomic status, total body burn ratio, burn area, burn level, microorganisms isolated in burn wounds, implemented treatments, length of hospital stay, debridement and grafting operations, extremity amputations, and mortality among burn patients were investigated.

Results: Tandir burn patients were treated in the hospital for an average of 27.

Comparison of total thyroidectomy, bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy and Dunhill operations in the treatment of benign thyroid disorders.

Aim: The surgical treatment of benign thyroid disease is still controversial. Many treatment modalities have been described for the surgical management of various thyroid diseases, including excision, bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy (BST), near-total thyroidectomy, and total thyroidectomy (TT).

Methods: Hospital records were reviewed for 2863 patients who underwent thyroid surgery for presumed multinodular goiter (MNG) between 1990 and 2009.

A case of papillary carcinoma in a thyroglossal cyst without a carcinoma in the thyroid gland.

The thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common developmental anomaly of the thyroid gland. We present a patient with a papillary thyroid carcinoma diagnosed after surgical resection of a thyroglossal cyst. The 39-year-old patient reported to our hospital due to a swelling of this throat.
