Diagnostic value of systemic immune inflammation index in acute appendicitis and complicated appendicitis in pregnant patients.

Introduction: Acute pain in the right lower quadrant during pregnancy is difficult to approach and acute appendicitis must be excluded. The complication rate in pregnant acute appendicitis increases as a result of delayed diagnosis due to physiological and anatomic changes. The systemic immune inflammatory index (SII), which includes several inflammatory tests, is considered to be a good indicator of acute inflammation.

The Relationship Between Serum Lipids and the Formation of Colorectal Polyps.

Background And Aims: Obesity, metabolic syndrome, and hyperlipidemia are known as risk factors for colorectal tumors. Colorectal polyps are accepted as potential precursors of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study was designed to clarify the association between the levels of serum lipids and the presence of colorectal polyps.

Colonoscopy following the positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan in patients with incidental colorectal uptake: what is the most effective management?

Objective: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies. Survival rates are directly related to the stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis, emphasizing the value of early diagnosis. Positron emission tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose is the gold standard imaging technique in staging, monitoring after treatment, and follow-up.

Postoperative parathormone level and permanent hypoparathyroidism following total thyroidectomy: a clue for the clinician.

Aim: Hypoparathyroidism (HPP) is among the most commonly observed severe complications of total thyroidectomy (TT). Therefore, any permanent hypoparathyroidism (PHPP) that may develop in the postoperative period must be predicted as early as possible. This study aims to investigate the predictive value of intact parathormone (iPTH) levels on the first postoperative day after TT for PHPP.

Diagnostic value of systemic immune inflammation index in acute appendicitis.

Objective: Clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis is often difficult and involves a synthesis of clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the systemic immune inflammation index can be used as an effective parameter in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and its reliability in the differentiation of complicated vs. non-complicated appendicitis.

The effect of Farnesoid X receptor agonist tropifexor on liver damage in rats with experimental obstructive jaundice.

Purpose: To investigate experimentally the effects of Tropifexor, a farnesoid X receptor agonist, on liver injury in rats with obstructive jaundice.

Methods: Forty healthy Wistar albino female rats were divided randomly in selected groups. These groups were the sham group, control group, vehicle solution group, Ursodeoxycholic acid group and Tropifexor group.

Surgical Management of Penetrating Duodenal Injury: Role of Primary Repair.

Objective: To evaluate the outcome of primary repair in penetrating duodenal injuries.

Study Design: Descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Adana City Training and Research Hospital, Adana, Turkey, between March 2011 and September 2018 Methodology: Patients with penetrating duodenal injury, who underwent primary repai, were reviewed retrospectively.

A Novel Oxidative Stress Mediator in Acute Appendicitis: Thiol/Disulphide Homeostasis.

Aim. To investigate the role of a novel oxidative stress marker, thiol/disulphide homeostasis, in patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis (AA). Methods.
