Estrogen as primary factor in vaginal healing in rats.

Objective: Although the effect of estrogens on wound healing is already known, its complex mechanism is not fully understood in literature. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of estrogen on vaginal healing after surgical intervention performed in the age group with low estrogen level and in an adult group with high estrogen level.

Materials And Methods: Seven young and seven adult female Wistar Albino rats were procured.

Comparing the effects and safety of dorzolamide hydrochloride + timolol maleate versus brimonidine after neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser capsulotomy posterior capsule opacification.

Aim: Posterior capsular opacification is treated using neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser capsulotomy that leads to increased intraocular pressure. Here, we compare the effects of dorzolamide hydrochloride + timolol maleate versus brimonidine on intraocular pressure. We also investigate their side effects after neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser capsulotomy.

Maximal cytoreduction is related to improved disease-free survival in low-grade ovarian serous carcinoma.

Objective: To evaluate the factors predicting oncologic outcomes in low-grade ovarian serous carcinoma (LGOSC).

Methods: Seventy patients with LGOSC were included in the study. According to the residual disease present at the end of the initial cytoreductive surgery (CRS), surgical outcomes are defined as follows: maximal CRS for absence of macroscopic residual tumors, optimal CRS for macroscopic residual tumors with diameters ranging from 0.

Histopathological findings obtained from reduction mammoplasty specimens.

Background/aim: Reduction mammoplasty is a common surgical procedure. We report the incidence of nonproliferative and proliferative breast lesions in breast reduction specimens from a single institution over a 6-year period.

Materials And Methods: The histopathology reports of all patients were analyzed.

Hoffmann's syndrome and pituitary hyperplasia in an adolescent secondary to Hashimoto thyroiditis.

Background: Diffuse muscle hypertrophy is a rare complication of acquired hypothyroidism. When accompanied by stiffness, weakness, and painful muscle cramps, the condition is known as Hoffmann's syndrome (HS). HS is usually seen in young adults due to long-standing untreated primary hypothyroidism.
