Iloprost-Loaded Electrospun Polycaprolactone/Gelatin Membranes for Enhanced Healing of Colon Anastomosis.

Despite the variety of proposed solutions, anastomotic leakage is still a critical complication after colorectal surgery, which causes increased clinical mortality and morbidity. By enhancing microcirculation in the colonic mucosa, the use of Iloprost (Ilo) has shown promising results for the healing of anastomosis. The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of Ilo-impregnated Polycaprolactone:Gelatin electrospun membranes (PCL/Gel/Ilo) on anastomosis repair and intra-abdominal adhesion behavior in the Rat colon.

Immature Granulocyte Percentage as an Early Predictor of Necrosis in Volvulus.

Aim: Volvulus is a disease characterized by the abnormal twisting of a gaseous distension of the loop of the intestine around itself. Colonic volvulus is the third common cause of colonic obstruction. The study aimed to determine whether the percentage of immature granulocytes is a marker of early necrosis in the volvulus.

Prognostic Effect of Preoperative Inflammatory Markers on Morbidity and Overall Survival in Pancreatic Adenocarsinoma.

Background/aim: His study aimed to evaluate the availability of common diagnostic tests and biochemical markers in predicting poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC). The primary outcome measure was to identify predictive prognostic factors. The secondary outcome measure was to compare predictive measures in patients who survived or did not survive in the follow-up period.

Incidental presentation of appendix neuroendocrine tumor: Long-term results from a single institution.

Background: Appendix neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are the most common tumors of the appendix and are most often diagnosed incidentally. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate appendix NETs diagnosed incidentally in our clinic.

Methods: Of 8304 patients who underwent appendectomy with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in Ankara Training and Re-search Hospital, General Surgery Clinic between January 2009 and January 2022, 33 had histopathology results evaluated as appendix NET, and a retrospective analysis was made of these cases.

Impact of Muscle Mass Depletion on Surgical Outcomes in Patients with Primary High-grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Undergoing CRS and HIPEC.

Objective: To investigate the effect of sarcopenia on surgical outcomes in patients with primary high-grade serous ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS and HIPEC).

Study Design: Descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Surgical Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, Ankara University Ankara, Turkey,  from January 2013 to January 2020.

An Evaluation of the Effect of Preoperative Inflammation-based Factors on Survival in Gastric Cancer Patients.

Objective: To investigate the predictive effect of preoperative inflammatory factors on overall survival (OS) in patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC).

Study Design: Observational study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of General Surgery, Ankara Training and Research Hospital, between January 2011 and October 2020.

The effect of Ankaferd blood stopper on liver damage in experimental obstructive jaundice.

Background/aims: To evaluate the potential protective effects of Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) in an experimental obstructive jaundice (OJ) model.

Materials And Methods: The study included 26 female rats, which were divided into 3 groups. The sham group, consisting of 10 rats, (group 1) only received solely laparotomy.

Assessment of Ankaferd Blood Stopper in experimental liver ischemia reperfusion injury.

Background/aim: To investigate possible protective effects of Ankaferd Blood Stopper® (ABS) in an experimental liver ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) model.

Materials And Methods: The study was carried out on 30 female rats separated into 3 groups as sham, control (IRI), and treatment (IRI + ABS) groups. In the IRI + ABS group, 0.

Regression in local recurrence in the contralateral breast following mastectomy in bilateral locally advanced breast cancer: A comparison of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios.

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is clinically accepted as a marker of systemic inflammatory response. In breast cancer patients, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio can be used as an important prognostic indicator of survival. In routine laboratory tests, the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio can also be examined in addition to neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.

Do Histopathological Features and Microcalcification Affect the Elasticity of Breast Cancer?

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate any association between histological grade, molecular subtypes of breast cancer, and strain elastography, and to investigate whether microcalcification affects the stiffness of tumor in breast cancers with the same histological grade.

Methods: Between April 2015 and March 2016, 94 lesions of 94 patients with the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma were included in the study. Strain elastography was performed on all patients before biopsy.

A novel quantitative light-induced fluorescence device for monitoring molar-incisor hypomineralization.

Background: The FluoreCam system is based on an innovative approach to the quantification of enamel health termed fluorescence enamel imaging (FEI). Enamel is both highly mineralized and semi-translucent. Because of its mineral composition, enamel will fluoresce when exposed to certain light wavelengths.

Effects of Ankaferd Blood Stopper and calcium alginate in experimental model of hepatic parenchymal bleeding.

Background: This experimental study compared the hemostatic effects of calcium alginate and Anka-ferd Blood Stopper in hepatic parenchymal bleedings.

Material And Method: The study comprised 39 male Wistar albino rats (weight 230±30 g). Laceration model was created in the left lateral lobe of the liver.

Effect of extremely low frequency magnetic field on enamel microhardness in rats.

Aim: The potential effects on human health of extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) are of considerable concern. In the present study, it was investigated the effect of long term ELF-MF exposure on microhardness of rat teeth.

Materials And Methods: Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups.
