Long-Term Results of Modified Catheterization Technique in the Treatment of CE Type 2 and 3b Liver Hydatid Cysts.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term results of modified catheterization technique (Mo-CAT) for percutaneous treatment of liver CE2/CE3b hydatid disease in a large series.

Materials And Methods: A total of 119 patients (F/M:73/59) and 132 liver CE2 and CE3b cysts who underwent percutaneous treatment by Mo-CAT from 2009 to 2020 were included in the study. Patients' age ranges from 8 to 78 years (mean: 39 years).

Head Circumference for Growth Curves and Percentiles for 0-2-Year-Old Children in Ankara: Comparison with GAMLSS and Quantile Regression Methods.

Objective: Growth curves are important tools for assessing the growth and development of children in the target population by age. Measuring head circumference (HC) in infants is an important tool in monitoring infant health and brain development. The aims of this study are to construct current 0-2-year-old HC growth curves and percentiles and compare the methods used in the construction of growth curves for HC measurements by gender.

Body Mass Index Growth Curves for Birth to 24 Months Children in Ankara with RefCurv Software.

Background: It is important to monitor the development of infants and children during their growth period. Various anthropometric parameters of children are measured at regular intervals after birth, and their general health and nutrition and physiological needs are assessed based on these measurements.

Aims: To construct the current body mass index (BMI) percentiles and compare them with the literature reports and World Health Organisation (WHO) data.

A Novel Hypothesis: Certain KIR/Cognate Ligand Containing Genotypes Differ in Frequency Among Patients With Myeloma and Have an Effect on Age of Disease Onset.

Background: Natural killer (NK) cells are known to have cytotoxic effects mediated through killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and their cognate ligands. Role of KIRs in myeloma is yet unresolved.

Patients And Methods: KIR genotypes and ligands of 204 newly diagnosed MM patients are compared with 424 healthy subjects.

Measurement of Uncertainty in Prediction of No-Reflow Phenomenon after Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using Systemic Immune Inflammation Index: The Gray Zone Approach.

Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), which is a good predictive marker for coronary artery disease, can be calculated by using platelet, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts. The no-reflow occurrence can also be predicted using the SII. The aim of this study is to reveal the uncertainty of SII for diagnosing ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who were admitted for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the no-reflow phenomenon.
