Evaluation of Meniscus Elasticity with Shear Wave Elastography in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Rationale And Objectives: We aimed to evaluate possible elasticity changes in the menisci of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using shear wave elastography (SWE).

Materials And Methods: The medial and lateral menisci of the right and left knee of 40 patients (20 males, 20 females) with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 40 healthy controls (20 males, 20 females) were evaluated between June 2024 and September 2024. All patients and the control group were evaluated with MRI for meniscal pathology.

Morphometric Examination of the Larynx in Turkish Population.

Objective: The aim of this study was to measure laryngeal dimensions in a sample of Turkish cadavers, including males and females of various ages and heights.

Materials And Methods: Morphological measurement was performed on 102 laryngeal specimens. Hyoid bone and laryngeal cartilages were removed from human cadavers.

Omental Flap Technique in Pancreaticojejunostomy: Does it Prevent Pancreatic Fistula Development after Pancreaticoduodenectomy?

Aim: The aim of our study was to investigate the clinical results of omental flap application during pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) anastomosis in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) surgeries.

Methods: The data of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in our hospital were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups; patients with an omental flap (Group 1) and those without an omental flap (Group 2).

Global repair is the primary nucleotide excision repair subpathway for the removal of pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) damage from the Arabidopsis genome.

Ultraviolet (UV) component of solar radiation impairs genome stability by inducing the formation of pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) photoproducts [(6-4)PPs] in plant genomes. (6-4)PPs disrupt growth and development by interfering with transcription and DNA replication. To resist UV stress, plants employ both photoreactivation and nucleotide excision repair that excises oligonucleotide containing (6-4)PPs through two subpathways: global and transcription-coupled excision repair (TCR).

Lumbar erector spinae plane block versus infrainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block for pain management after total hip arthroplasty: a randomized clinical trial.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided facia iliaca compartment (FIC) and erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks in managing postoperative pain after total hip arthroplasty surgery.

Methods: A total of 60 patients were randomized into 2 groups (n = 30): one that received FIC blocks and one that received ESP blocks. FIC and ESP blocks were performed with 30 mL 0.
