Do the ınflammatory markers have a prognostic role in an elderly patient population diagnosed with non-muscle ınvasive bladder cancer?

Objective: To evaluate whether the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and De-Ritis ratio (DRR) are determinants of progression-free survival (PFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients aged ≥ 70 years diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

Method: The study included 173 elderly patients diagnosed with NMIBC between January 2015 and March 2022. The clinical and pathological data of the patients were examined.

Comparison of the Effects of Ultrasound-Guided Subacromial Injection Versus Subacromial Injection and Suprascapular Nerve Block on Pain, Function, and Sleep Quality in Rotator Cuff Lesions.

Rotator cuff lesions are common causes of shoulder pain. When not treated effectively, the functional loss associated with pain affects the quality of life and brings about psychosocial issues. In this study, prospective observational comparison of the effects of ultrasonography (USG) guided subacromial injection (SAI) versus subacromial injection combined with suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) on pain, functionality and sleep quality in the treatment of shoulder pain unresponsive to conservative treatments due to rotator cuff lesions is made.

Unlocking Precision Enhancing Prostate Cancer Detection and Reducing Unnecessary Biopsies with Combined Prostate-Specific Antigen Density and PI-RADS Score.

Objective: To determine clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) detection rate by combining the prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) and prostate imaging-reporting and data system (PI-RADS) scores.

Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Urology, University of Health Sciences, Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital, from January 2018 to April 2023.

Effects of music on perioperative anxiety in patients undergoing cesarean section - A randomised prospective controlled study.

Premedication with sedative drugs is one of the most preferred methods to reduce anxiety. Due to concerns about maternal and fetal side effects, their use in obstetric anesthesia is not preferred. The primary aim of the authors of this study is to investigate the effect of music on perioperative anxiety in pregnant.

Can serum tumor marker densities according to tumor volume and testicle size be used to predict progression in patients with testicular cancer?

Background: The objective of this study is to determine the role of tumor marker density (TMD) values such as alpha-fetoprotein tumor volume ratio (ATVR), beta-human chorionic gonadotropin tumor volume ratio (βTVR), alpha-fetoprotein testicle size ratio (ATSR), beta-human chorionic gonadotropin testicle size ratio (βTSR), lactate dehydrogenase tumor volume ratio (LTVR), and lactate dehydrogenase testicle size ratio (LTSR) in the determination of progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with testicular cancer.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of 95 patients followed-up in our clinic with a diagnosis of testicular cancer between January 2015 and August 2022. Patients were grouped according to clinical stage, as either early stage ( = 50) or advanced stage ( = 45).
