Autistic Traits and Executive Functions in Children and Adolescents With Gender Dysphoria.

We aimed to examine the autistic traits and executive functions that may require clinical attention in children and adolescents with gender dysphoria (GD). The study sample consisted of 25 patients with GD and 50 controls (aged five to 17 years). The instruments were the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF).

Prognostic effect of different cut-off values (20mm, 30mm and 40mm) for clinical tumor size in FIGO stage IB cervical cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate whether applying cut-off values of 20mm, 30mm and 40mm for tumor size have prognostic value in terms of survival or not.

Material And Methods: Medical records of 193 patients with FIGO stage IB cervical cancer (IB1: 173, IB2: 20) undergoing radical hysterectomy were evaluated. Tumor size was defined as the greatest tumor diameter determined by rectovaginal examination under general anesthesia.

Experience in stage IB2 cervical cancer and review of treatment.

Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), radical hysterectomy (RH) and radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of stage IB2 cervical cancer.

Material And Methods: Medical records of 86 patients with stage IB2 cervical cancer between 1993 and 2006 were evaluated. Patients who underwent type III RH ± bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy and para-aortic and pelvic lymphadenectomy constituted the RH group (n=18).
