Effects of pirfenidone on experimental head injury in rats.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) continues to be a significant public healthcare concern. Neuroinflammation that occurs in the secondary phase of TBI leads to cognitive and physical dysfunction. A number of therapeutic modalities have been evaluated in an attempt to find a suitable treatment.

Evaluation of Formalin-fixed Paraffin-embedded Tissue Samples Diagnosed by Histopathology as in Çorum.

Objective: This study aimed to detect the presence of spp. in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPG) samples of hydatid cyst cases and to discuss the DNA isolation problems in FFPG samples.

Methods: FFPG samples of 47 cases diagnosed with hydatid cyst were included in this study.

Novel prognostic grayscale ultrasonographic findings in the testis from a comprehensive analysis of pediatric patients with testicular torsion.

Introduction: Although grayscale and Doppler ultrasound (US) findings of testicular torsion (TT) have previously been described in the literature, other US findings may provide more prognostic information to families.

Objective: The authors hypothesized that a comprehensive analysis of US findings of TT that focused on time-dependent changes would lead to additional ultrasonographic morphologic findings and clinically relevant prognostic information.

Study Design: The authors reviewed the records of pediatric patients with acute TT from 2010 to 2017.

Two-Year Results of Community-Based Screening Program for Human Papilloma Virus DNA in Çorum Province.

Objective: The Turkish Ministry of Health started a community-based screening program using Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) DNA in 2014. In our study, we aimed to investigate the results of this survey in Çorum province between the years of 2016-17 to determine the shortcomings and deficiencies in practice.

Material And Method: All of the women between the ages of 30 and 65 years who had undergone High risk HPV DNA screening in Çorum province between 2016 and 2017 were included in the study.

Comparison of Effects of Vessel-Sealing Devices and Conventional Hemorrhoidectomy on Postoperative Pain and Quality of Life.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the early and late results of use of LigaSure, Harmonic Scalpel, and conventional hemorrhoidectomy in hemorrhoidectomy, to determine the least painful method, and to investigate the relationship between pain perception and personal differences in hemorrhoid bundles. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy between 2014 and 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. We investigated the duration of hospitalization and the presence of bleeding, incontinence, perianal wetness, urinary retention, stenosis, and recurrence during follow-up after surgery.

Effects of Resveratrol on Inflammation and Apoptosis After Experimental Spinal Cord Injury.

Aim: To determine the effects of resveratrol on inflammation and apoptosis after experimental spinal cord injury (SCI).

Material And Methods: Eighteen Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups. All groups underwent thoracic laminectomy.

Malignancy Rates of Thyroid Cytology: Cyst Fluid Benign or Non-Diagnostic?

BACKGROUND We sought to investigate subgroup distribution using Bethesda classification and risks for malignancy. We also compared the malignancy risk of cases that were denoted as non-diagnostic due to cystic contents, with cases that were denoted as non-diagnostic due to presence of other features. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included pathology test results of 1,440 thyroid nodule samples diagnosed using Bethesda classification.

Colon perforation and Budd-Chiari syndrome in Behçet's disease.

Background: Behçet's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease involving multiple systems, with vasculitis being the most important pathological feature. Multiple colon perforations are thought to be secondary to vasculitis and they occur in patients with ulcers. These may be encountered within the entire colon but most commonly in the ileocecal region.

A study on distribution of cancer cases diagnosed in Çorum.

Objective: In order to help obtain accurate knowledge and to contribute to the establishment of data for regional tumor statistics, we aimed to determine the frequency distribution of cancer cases that was diagnosed in Çorum province.

Material And Method: In this descriptive study, we retrospectively reviewed the archive records of the pathology departments' of one university hospital and two private hospitals serving in the province of Çorum. A total of 138,973 recorded pathology reports were reviewed.

Molecular features of follicular variant papillary carcinoma of thyroid: comparison of areas with or without classical nuclear features.

We aimed to compare the genetic background of different areas in follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinomas (FVPTC) with or without classical nuclear changes. Sixteen cases of FVPTC were included in our study. All tumors were well demarcated from surrounding thyroid tissue and had both areas with nuclear features (WNF) and areas without nuclear features (WONF) of papillary carcinoma.

Magnetic resonance imaging of vulvar dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans - report of a case.

Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) of the vulva is a rare low-grade soft tissue sarcoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of vulvar DFSP were essentially unreported in the literature.

Case Report: We report a DFSP of vulva with its clinical, histological and MRI features.

Diagnostic value of elastosonographically determined strain index in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.

Elastosonography (ES) is a newly developed method that is used for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules. In different studies, ES scoring has been compared with histopathological findings, and sensitivity and specificity of the scoring were calculated. In this study, it determines the strain index (SI) as well as the ES to score thyroid nodules, and establishes the role for these parameters in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules using histopathological analysis as a reference standard.
