Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-methyl-3-nitro--[()-(5-nitro-thio-phen-2-yl)methyl-idene]aniline.

The title compound, CHNOS, synthesized by condensation of 5-nitro-thio-phene-2-carbaldehyde and 2-methyl-3-nitro-aniline, crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group 222. In the mol-ecule, the aromatic benzene and thio-phene rings are twisted with respect to each other, making a dihedral angle of 23.16 (7)°.

Treatment of chronic anal fissure: Is open lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) a safe and adequate option?

Background: Anal fissure which is defined as a longitudinal tear in anoderm under the dentate line is one of the most common benign diseases of anorectal area, and due to the severe pain during the defecation and emotional stress that it causes may reduce people's quality of life. There are several treatment methods such as medical substances and surgical procedures. In this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate the safe and adequate option of lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) in chronic anal fissure treatment.

An efficient biomarker panel for diagnosis of breast cancer using surface-enhanced laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer that affects women worldwide. Early detection of BC is important to improve survival rates and decrease mortality. The aim of the present study was to investigate serum biomarkers using surface-enhanced laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) to distinguish patients with BC from the healthy population and patients with benign breast diseases (BBDs).

Retrospective Analysis of Women with Only Mastalgia.

Objective: Mastalgia is the most common symptom in women, who has gone under breast imaging. 70% of women face with mastalgia at least once in their lifetime. In our study, we aimed to investigate the examinations and the results of the females referred to our outpatient clinics with mastalgia and to determine the frequency of malignancy.
