: Among breast cancer molecular types, HER2 positive and triple negative (TN) subtypes have the highest likelihood of pathological complete response (pCR), which is a surrogate marker for reduced recurrence and improved patient survival after neoadjuvant systemic treatment (NST). Preoperative pathological identification of these exceptional responders is a new era. Therefore, we aimed to determine the accuracy of trucut biopsy in identifying the exceptional responders in selected molecular subtypes of breast cancer patients.

The primary concern with organs from nonheartbeat donors is the long warm ischemia period and reperfusion injury following renal transplantation. This study had two main goals; one goal is to determine how Necrostatin-1 targeting the PANoptosome affects PANoptosis in the nonheart-beating donor rat model.

However, the approach to axillary surgery after neoadjuvant treatment is still controversial. In the present study, our objective was to predict the pathological nodal stage based on SLNB results and the clinicopathological characteristics of patients who initially presented with clinical N1 positivity but whose disease status was converted to clinical N0 after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Methods: Thirty-two rats were divided into four groups randomly. The groups were assigned as Control, Sham, DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and MNS groups.
Objectives: The correlation between lymphedema severity and stages determined by standard diagnostic methods and Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) technique was examined in breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) patients.
Material And Methods: The bioimpedance analyzer device was connected to the 1.0 cm disc electrodes which were connected to the affected and unaffected (healthy) arm of the patients.
Background: More evidence shows that primary surgery for de novo metastatic breast cancer (BC) prolongs overall survival (OS) in selected cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of locoregional treatment (LRT) in BC patients with de novo stage IV bone only metastasis (BOM).
Methods: The prospective, multicenter registry study BOMET MF14-01 was initiated in May 2014.
Purpose: Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer in women, and there is a great variability in surgical practice for treating that cancer in different countries. The aims of this study were to analyze the effect of guidelines from the Turkish Federation of Breast Diseases Societies on academic institutions that have breast centers and to evaluate surgical practice in Turkey in 2018.
Patients And Methods: Between January and March 2019, a survey was sent to breast surgeons who were working in breast centers in academic institutions.
We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and preoperative localization capacity of 99mTc methoxyisobutylnitrile (MIBI) parathyroid scintigraphy and ultrasonography (USG) in enlarged parathyroid glands in the primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) as well as the relationship between the success rate of these techniques and biochemical values. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated 39 patients with clinical and biological evidence of pHPT who referred to the university hospital for MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy. Patients were examined with USG and double-phase MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy for the detection of enlarged parathyroid glands.

We investigated the association between the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and susceptibility to papillary thyroid cancer in Turkish people. This study covered 102 patients with papillary thyroid cancer and 174 healthy controls.

Material And Methods: Thirty male Wistar albino rats were used in this experimental study. Rats were divided into four groups.
Purpose: This prospective study was done to analyze the efficacy of commercial fibrin glue application in the healing of patients with fistulas-in-ano from a long-term (mean 4.5 years) research period.
Methods: This clinical trial of forty-six patients was performed during the period from January 2004 to February 2005.
Purpose: Postoperative hematoma remains an uncommon but potentially life-threaten complication of thyroid surgery. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) in comparison to hemostasis by conventional technique (HCT) for the controlling of oozing-type bleeding following total thyroidectomy.
Methods: We randomized 61 patients with benign euthyroid multinodular goiter who underwent total thyroidectomy subject to one of the two different hemostasis techniques.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low circulating thyroid hormone levels on the development of acute stress gastritis in rats.
Methods: Sixty adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into six groups: Control group, surgically thyroidectomized group, stressed group, surgically thyroidectomized + stressed group, surgically thyroidectomized + T4 + stressed group, and surgically thyroidectomized + T3 + stressed group. Damage to the gastric mucosa was studied using millimetric acetate papers on photographs enlarged 3.
Spinal tuberculous abscesses usually respond to anti-tuberculous drugs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of surgical drainage after failure of first-line anti-tuberculous drugs. Patients with spinal instability or vertebral collapse were excluded from the study.

One hundred and forty-two patients with second and third degree internal haemorrhoids were randomised to rubber band ligation only (n = 72) or rubber band ligation + local anaesthetic injection (n = 70). Pain was assessed by the patients at intervals of 6 hours and 1, 2, 3 and 4 days after banding. Other symptoms, complications, analgesic requirements and patient satisfaction were also recorded for 10 days following the treatment.
