Assessment of the relationship between smoking and meniscal injury.

Objective: To determine whether being a smoker and the years of smoking correlate with the presence and degree of meniscal injury.

Materials And Methods: Individuals who underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the knee were divided into two groups: smokers and nonsmokers. For each smoker, the total smoking history was calculated by multiplying the daily consumption (packs/day) by the years of smoking, and the result is expressed as pack-years.

Clinical and epidemiological evaluation of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 coinfected cases.

Introduction: Coinfection of COVID-19 with influenza pathogens, may complicate the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis, which is a new concern. This study aims to evaluate COVID-19 and influenza coinfected cases during the flu season, while the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues.

Methodology: The study was conducted between November 2021 and January 2022.

A novel technique for the non-surgical management of inadvertent bowel catheterization during percutaneous abscess drainage: a technical note.

Percutaneous abscess drainage-related inadvertent bowel catheterization is an undesired complication that requires treatment. In two cases without signs of peritonitis that we examined, it was possible to achieve successful abscess drainage, and to treat abscess-related inadvertent bowel catheterization by using a novel technique without surgery.

Assessment of Sonographic Carotid Parameters in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Comparative Case Control Study.

Objective: To compare carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), systolic and diastolic diameters (D), intima-media thickness/diameter ratio (IDR) values in children with ASD, and control groups, and to analyze the correlation of these parameters with the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) scores.

Methods: This prospective case-control study included 37 children diagnosed with ASD and 38 individuals without ASD in the control group. Correlation assessments of sonographic measurements with CARS scores in the ASD group were also performed.

Comparison of clinical and magnetic resonance imaging findings of triple-negative breast cancer with non-triple-negative tumours.

Purpose: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has some distinctive features. The aim of the study was to compare clinical and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of TNBC with non-triple-negative breast cancer (nTNBC) in molecular subtypes such as ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient) values, T2-weighted (T2W) image intensity, shape, margin, lymph node involvement, grade, multifocality, multicentricity, bilaterality, and enhancement pattern differences between tumour subtypes.

Material And Methods: A total of 141 patients who underwent breast biopsy at our institution between January 2010 and June 2018 were included in this study.
