Objectives: Minimally invasive approach to cardiac surgery has been steadily developing and increasingly being performed since the early 1990s. We aimed to present our initial clinical experience and show the feasibility and safety of the right anterior minithoracotomy (RAT) approach for ascending aorta surgery with or without aortic valve involvement.
Methods: This single-center study included 112 patients who underwent ascending aortic replacement with or without aortic valve intervention, between September 2018 and March 2024.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), a condition in dogs that leads to eye damage due to reduced tear production, particularly in Aksaray Malakli breed dogs.
- Researchers evaluated fifty healthy dogs showing signs of eye irritation and used tests to measure tear production and film stability.
- Results indicated that dogs with third eyelid gland prolapse had lower tear production and film stability, highlighting a need for further research to manage KCS in this breed.
Aim: To investigate tomographic features of late corneal ectasia after keratoplasty for keratoconus and compare penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) in terms of incidence, time of onset and risk factors of corneal ectasia.
Methods: Sixty eyes with PK and 30 eyes with DALK operated between 1999 and 2021 were analyzed. Final Pentacam scans were evaluated together with vision and previous topographies.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of two dosages of calcium dobesilate (500 mg vs. 1000 mg) in patients with Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) in CEAP classes C3-C4.
- A multicenter retrospective analysis monitored patient progress over 12 months, using scores and circumference measurements to gauge improvement.
- Results showed that the higher dosage (1000 mg) significantly improved symptom relief and reduced limb swelling compared to the lower dosage, indicating a potential benefit of using higher doses for managing advanced CVI.
Background: Child sexual abuse is an important health problem that disrupts the physical and mental health of children. In order to protect children from abuse, the knowledge and attitude levels of their families need to be increased.
Purpose: This study was to determine the knowledge and attitude levels of Syrian refugee parents regarding child sexual abuse who lived in Turkey.
