Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. In this study, the effects of local anesthetic lidocaine on neurodegeneration markers and memory were investigated for the first time in streptozotocin-induced rat AD model.
Methods: Streptozotocin (STZ) was administered intracerebroventricularly (ICV) into Wistar rats to develop AD model.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the prognostic significance of maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on 18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG-PET/CT) for bone sarcoma.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 34 patients (24 males, 10 females; mean age 36.6±24.
Aims: Many agents and treatments are used in the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in MS patients, but no study has been conducted on the use of peripheric lidocaine (neural therapy-NT) on MS patients. We evaluated the effects of local administration of lidocaine on NDO in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients.
Methods: For each patient local anesthetic lidocaine was injected at each session.
The aim of the current study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of whole-body fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in detecting carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) with bone metastases. We evaluated 87 patients who were referred to FDG-PET/CT imaging and reported to have skeletal lesions with suspicion of malignancy. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were calculated.

- Bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (BiKA) is an effective alternative to total knee replacement for patients with degenerative issues affecting only two compartments of the knee.
- Recent advancements in robotic-assisted systems have improved outcomes for these surgeries by enhancing component placement and balancing ligaments during the procedure.
- In a study involving 29 patients, 83% achieved good to excellent results, supporting the hypothesis that robotic-assisted BiKA is a strong choice for treating localized knee degeneration.
