Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and selenium (Se) on vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) nephropathy.
Methods: A total of 44 rabbits in 7 groups, namely group 1 (Control), group 2 (VUR + sterile urine), group 3 (VUR + sterile urine + NAC), group 4 (VUR + sterile urine + Se), group 5 (VUR + infected urine), group 6 (VUR + infected urine + NAC) and group 7 (VUR + infected urine + Se), were used. Tc Dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scan (DMSA), cystogram and urine culture were performed both at the beginning and end of the study.
Article Synopsis
- As of December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic not only affected respiratory and circulatory health but also led to an increase in neuropsychiatric disorders like anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances among infected individuals.
- The study involved 283 participants, comparing 144 patients confirmed with COVID-19 and a control group, using questionnaires to measure anxiety and depression levels.
- Results showed that COVID-19 patients had significantly higher anxiety and depression scores, with hospitalized patients reporting worse sleep quality compared to those without the virus.
Sensitivity of (18)F-FDG PET in evaluation of solitary pulmonary nodules.
Int J Clin Exp Med
March 2015
Introduction: The solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) may be an early sign of lung cancer. Due to the difficulties of radiological imaging techniques in differentiation of benign/malignant nodules, functional imaging techniques like PET-CT are required in patients diagnosed with SPN. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the role of PET-CT in differentiation of malignant/benign SPN by some characteristic findings in PET-CT.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the osteoblastic activity around delay-loaded intraosseous dental implants using nuclear medicine imaging techniques.
Material And Methods: Seven totally edentulous patients (two females and five males, between 48 and 57 years of age) were included in the study. Two implants were inserted into mandibular canine regions and removable prostheses were produced after 3 months.
Background: The aim of this study was to produce an internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion model in dogs that can be used for studying the effects of surgical revascularization procedures.
Material/methods: After left frontoparietal craniectomy, the ICA and arterial circle of the brain were coagulated and transected, letting the middle cerebral artery be perfused by the contralateral ICA by way of the rostral cerebral artery in five mongrel dogs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and brain single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) were performed during the first 24 to 48 hours and 7 to 10 days after the operation.
