Comparison of Complications and Mid-term Results for Patients who Underwent Open Radical Prostatectomy for High-Risk and Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Study from a Tertiary Reference Center.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate perioperative complications and oncologic results for high-risk and oligometastatic prostate cancer patients.

Methods: The data of patients who underwent surgery for prostate cancer in the authors' clinic between January 2012 and March 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. According to D'amico classification, 28 patients with high-risk prostate cancer and 23 patients in the oligometastatic stage were included in the study.

Virtual touch IQ elastography in the evaluation of fetal liver and placenta in pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Objectives: Elastography is considered a novel technique in the assessment of placenta parenchymal elasticity and very few data present the feasibility of elastography on human fetal tissue. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of fetal liver and placenta elastography and differences in pregnancies with GDM.

Methods: Fifty-five women with GDM and 40 women with uncomplicated pregnancy as the control group was enrolled prospectively in this case-control study.

The effect of chemotherapy type and timing among the other factors on patency of totally implantable vascular access devices in colorectal carcinoma.

Purpose: Catheter-related complications are observed in infusion of chemotherapy, and these were encountered with targeted therapies. Our principle is to study non-mechanical effects of type and initiation time of chemotherapy among the other factors on patency of totally implantable vascular access devices (TIVAD) inserted in patients with colorectal carcinoma.

Methods: This is a one-center retrospective cohort study.

Virtual touch IQ elastography in evaluation of Achilles tendon in patients with chronic renal failure.

Purpose: To evaluate the sonoelastographic changes in the Achilles tendon in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) using virtual touch imaging quantification (VTIQ) elastography.

Methods: Twenty-six patients undergoing three hemodialysis sessions per week and 26 subjects admitted to our institution between January 2016 and April 2016 were included in this prospective study. The characteristics and body mass index of the patients were noted.

Diagnostic value of diffusion weighted MRI and ADC in differential diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma of the liver.

Aims: To investigate the use of diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in the diagnosis of hemangioma.

Materials And Methods: The study population consisted of 72 patients with liver masses larger than 1 cm (72 focal lesions). DWI examination with a b value of 600 s/mm2 was carried out for all patients.

Evaluation of Atrial Conduction Times, Epicardial Fat Thickness and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Objectives: This study aims to determine the relationship between atrial electromechanical delay (EMD), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), and epicardial fat thickness (EFT) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), which has a complicated inflammatory nature.

Patients And Methods: The study population included 42 consecutive patients with AS (28 males, 14 females; mean age 39.3±8.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Childhood Period Nasopharynx Cancer.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a rarely seen tumor in childhood. It is mostly detected late as the clinical features are similar to other childhood tumors which affect the nasopharynx and adenoidal hypertrophy. Therefore, the radiological features of childhood tumors of the nasopharynx must be well known.

Diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging: differentiation of benign and malignant lymph nodes in different regions of the body.

Introduction: To evaluate the value of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging compared with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (C-MRI) for the differentiation of benign from malignant lymph nodes in different regions of the body.

Patients And Methods: A total of 31 patients ranging in age from 18 to 75 years (mean age: 53 years) were included in this study. The patients were examined using a 1.

MRI analysis of coracohumeral interval width and its relation to rotator cuff tear.

Objective: Coracoid impingement is an uncommon cause of the shoulder pain. It is stimulated by adduction, internal rotation and forward flexion. These positions decrease the width of the coracohumeral interval.

Midgut malrotation presenting with left-sided acute appendicitis and CT inversion sign.

In patients presenting with abdominal pain, appendicitis is the most common surgical disorder. Appendicitis causing pain in the left lower quadrant is extremely rare and can occur with congenital abnormalities that include true left-sided appendix or as an atypical presentation of right-sided long appendix, which projects into the left lower quadrant. We report a case of a 69-year-old man showing midgut malrotation with acute appendicitis presenting as left lower quadrant abdominal pain.
