Solitary medial proximal tibial osteochondromas cause pes anserinus syndrome in adolescents.

Objective: Osteochondromas are common bone tumors with hyaline cartilage-covered heads, arising from cortical and medullary bone. Solitary medial proximal tibial osteochondromas (MPTOs) can cause pes anserinus syndrome via compression. However, the literature lacks comprehensive studies on MPTO-related pes anserinus syndrome and its surgical outcomes.

Dynamic site index models sensitive to ecoregional variability for Scots pine stands in Western Black Sea Region of Türkiye.

Site productivity, defined as the production amount of the stand at a specific age, has a significant impact on the growth of the stand and site index is used as an indicator of site productivity. The objective of this study is to develop ecoregion-based dynamic site index models for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands in the Kastamonu and Sinop regions of Türkiye.

Comparing Wound Healing and Infection Risk Between Early and Late Dressing Removal After Abdominal Hysterectomy.

Introduction: This study evaluates the effects of dressing timing after abdominal hysterectomy on wound healing and infection risk. It highlights the potential for early dressing removal to accelerate healing and underscores the need for clear guidelines in wound care that align with the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol.

Methods: Using a prospective, randomized, double-blind design, this research was carried out at Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.

Is it possible that we can increase the lymph node number in cases with rectum tumor receiving neoadjuvant therapy?

Background: Though the recommended sampled lymph node number in colorectal carcinomas is at least 12, due to shrinkage after preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT), it can be difficult to attain that number.

Aim: Our aim is to increase the lymph node number by applying alcohol fixation on the formalin-fixed resection materials of the patients that received or not received neoadjuvant therapy and to evaluate the changes in staging due to obtained lymph nodes.

Settings And Design: Non-randomized controlled trial.

Spinal Melorheostosis: A Rare Presentation.

Case: A 22-year-old female patient was referred to the orthopaedic department for further examination after a radiopaque area was observed in the T6 vertebra in her chest radiograph. Computed Tomography (CT) showed a sclerotic mass with smooth borders, involving the entire body of the T6 vertebra, left posterior elements, posterior of the rib past the left zygapophyseal joint, and a "flowing candle wax" image toward the T7 vertebra. Spinal melorheostosis was considered radiologically in the patient, but malignancy could not be completely excluded.
