The significance of cervical discopathy diagnosis in patients with mastalgia.

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to explore the involvement of cervical discopathy in the development of non-cyclic mastalgia by employing cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Patients And Methods: A total of 407 patients were included in the study. Individualized management plans were developed for each patient.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Ileocolic Artery and Vein Diameter for Acute Appendicitis.

BACKGROUND Regional inflammation-induced local vasodilation may exist in cases of appendicitis. In this study, the diameters of the ileocolic artery (ICA) and ileocolic vein (ICV) were measured using contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans in acute appendicitis cases. The study aimed to measure the diagnostic value of these measurements in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

The Potential Prognostic Marker TyG Index Predicts Time to Brain Metastasis at HER2 Positive Breast Cancer.

Background: We aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of insulin resistance (IR) markers fasting triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and triglyceride high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio in HER2-positive breast cancer (BC) patients with brain metastasis (BM).

Methods: In this single-center study, 120 patients who met the criteria were included. TyG and TG/HDL-C at the time of diagnosis were computed retrospectively.

Comparison of Limberg Flap and Karydakis Flap Repair in Pilonidal Sinus Surgery: A Prospective Case-Control Study.

Background Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a chronic inflammation and infection of the sacrococcygeal region. It often affects young adult males and produces clinical findings with abscess and discharge in the sacrococcygeal region or painful sinus tract in the natal cleft. The best surgical technique for sacrococcygeal PSD is still disputed.

The relationship between papillary thyroid cancer and triglyceride/glucose index, which is an indicator of insulin resistance.

Objective: The incidence of thyroid cancer and metabolic syndrome has been increasing at the same rate over the past few decades. We hypothesized that there would be a direct relationship between thyroid papillary cancer and triglyceride/glucose index (TyG).

Patients And Methods: A total of 382 operated patients were divided into two groups: patients operated on for papillary thyroid cancer and for non-malignant reasons.
