Efficacy and Safety of Transarterial Radioembolization in Elderly Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Single-Center Experience.

Background/aims:  Hepatocellular carcinoma is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients, and most patients are suitable for locoregional and/or systemic therapy at the time of diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of transarterial radioembolization in elderly patients.

Materials And Methods:  Patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma between 2013 and 2022 were screened retrospectively.

Monitoring of Thiamethoxam Resistance in Turkish House Fly Strains, (Diptera: Muscidae).

Background: The house fly, , is vector for pathogens and parasites and causes economic damage to livestock by reducing forage conversion efficiency, negatively impacting weight gain and milk production. It has shown resistance to multiple insecticide classes. The aim of this research was to determine the susceptibility levels of seventeen field strains to thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid insecticide, in Türkiye.

Is mean platelet volume a simple marker of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease?

Background: Due to the increasing prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), there was a need to establish non-invasive tests for its detection. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an inexpensive, practical and easily accessible marker of inflammation in many disorders. Our study was aimed at investigating the relationship between MPV and both NAFLD and liver histology.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Cirrhotic Versus Noncirrhotic Livers: Clinicomorphologic Findings and Prognostic Factors.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma mostly develops in a cirrhotic (80%) background. The clinical features of cirrhotic hepatocellular carcinoma and non-cirrhotic hepatocellular carcinoma also differ. We aimed to determine the clinicopathologic features, tumor characteristics, treatment options, and overall survival after diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma and prognostic factors effective on survival of hepatocellular carcinoma developing in cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic conditions.
