Design: The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of OSA and the relationship between OSA risk and NLR in surgical patients.

Is peripheral blood immunophenotyping useful to understand the etiology of Idiopathic Granulomatous?

Background: The etiology of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) has not been clearly established. However, autoimmunity has recently become popular in etiopathogenesis. We aimed to investigate the immunophenotyping of immune cells to help clarify the etiopathogenesis of the disease.

Does focal heterogeneity affect survival in postoperative ipsilateral multifocal and multicentric breast cancers?

Objective: In multicentric/multifocal breast tumors, there may be immunological and histological differences between foci that may affect survival and treatment choice. We aimed to evaluate the effect of focal heterogeneity seen in multicentric/multifocal breast tumors on survival.

Methods: We retrospectively collected and analyzed the clinicopathological data of 89 female patients with multifocal/multicentric breast cancer, whose surgical and medical treatment was completed and who were followed up for 5 years.

Hemogram index parameters in the evaluation of male breast cancer and inflammatory response: a case-control study.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the hemogram index parameters and their clinical significance in the evaluation of the inflammatory response of patients with male breast cancer, who are rarely observed in the literature.

Methods: In total, 22 (n=22) healthy male and 28 (n=28) male breast cancer patients without synchronous/metachronous tumors were included in this study. They were grouped as the healthy male control group (Group 1) and the male breast cancer patient group (Group 2).

The prognostic value of Tumor Volume Index in patients with esophageal cancer who had curative resection A single center experience.

Aim: We aim to evaluate the prognostic significance of tumor volume in esophageal cancer.

Methods: Patients who underwent curative resection due to esophageal cancer between the years 2015 and 2019 were included in the study. The Tumor Depth Parameter (TDP) was defined as mucosa and submucosa =1, muscularis propria =2, adventitia =3, and invasion into adjacent organs=4.

Application of crystal-line phenol in pilonidal sinus disease A single-center and single-surgeon experience.

Aim: Various surgical and minimally invasive treatment options are available in the treatment of pilonidal sinus. In our study, we aimed to retrospectively analyze the results of crystalline phenol application in patients who applied to our clinic with pilonidal sinus.

Material And Method: Patients who were applied crystalline phenol due to pilonidal sinus disease between 2018- 2019 were included in the study.

Effects of bradykinin preconditioning in an experimental intestinal ischemia reperfusion model on rats.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of bradykinin on reperfusion injury in an experimental intestinal ischemia reperfusion model.

Methods: We used 32 Wistar-Albino rats. We composed 4 groups each containing 8 rats.

Ectopic adrenal tissue in a hernia sac in an adult. A case report.

The discovery of ectopic adrenal tissue in the hernial sac is very rare, and in the majority of reported cases it is in children, while it is never described in adult subjects. This could be due to a progressive previous atrophy of the ectopic tissue or to an insufficient examination of the sac removed surgically. The most frequent site of these ectopias is the kidney, adjacent to the adrenal glands.

Prognostic significance of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in patients with curative resection of esophageal cancer. A single center experience.

Aim: In this study, we aimed to determine the clinical value and prognostic significance of the Neutrophil / Lymphocyte Ratio in patients undergoing curative surgery due to esophageal cancer.

Material And Method: Patients who underwent curative resection for esophageal cancer between 2015-2019 were included in the study. Two groups, Group1 (low NLR) and Group2 (high NLR), were created.

Clinical characteristics of appendiceal diverticular disease.

Background: Appendiceal diverticular disease (ADD) is a rare pathology which is associated with an increased mortality risk due to rapid perforation and high rates of neoplasm. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical and histopathological characteristics of ADD with differences from acute appendicitis (AA) diagnosis and to determine the association with neoformative processes.

Methods: The 4279 patients who underwent appendectomy were evaluated retrospectively.

Role of Alvarado score and biological indicators of C-reactive protein, procalicitonin and neopterin in diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

Background: The determination of a definitive preoperative diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA) remains a challenge; however, delays in diagnosis increase complication rates. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of the Alvarado score (AS) alone and the AS combined with the use of the biological indicators of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) and neopterin (NP) in the diagnosis.

Methods: Serum was collected from 100 patients who were admitted to the general surgery clinic of Istanbul University, Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty between March 4, 2014 and July 29, 2015 with the pre-diagnosis of AA and who agreed to take part in the study.
