Environmental risks in wetlands are considered with radionuclides and trace elements to understand pollution accumulation. In this study, we aimed to determine the levels of radiation and heavy metals in water systems and assess pollution configurations. Radionuclides (Rn, Pb and Po) and trace elements (Ag, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mo, Ni, Pb, V and Zn) were measured to evaluate anthropogenic factors.

- The study examined the effects of latanoprost therapy on lamina cribrosa (LC) thickness and depth in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) compared to healthy individuals.
- Results showed that before therapy, LC thickness was significantly thinner in POAG/OHT patients.
- After one and three months of latanoprost treatment, LC thickness increased while LC depth decreased, indicating positive changes in ocular health for treated patients.
Objective: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most common and critical complication of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). In this study, we aimed to define preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative conditions that may cause POPF and examine the predictive value of drain fluid amylase (DFA) values in showing the clinical severity of POPF.
Patients And Methods: Between December 2018 and December 2019, 49 patients who underwent PD for malignant reasons by a single team were retrospectively analyzed.
Background: The timing of the cholecystectomy in patients with acute cholecystitis is still controversial. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effect of early and delayed cholecystectomy on difficult cholecystectomy, morbidity and mortality in patients diagnosed with Grade II acute cholecystitis according to Tokyo 2018 guidelines.
Methods: Patients who presented to the emergency department and diagnosed with Grade II acute cholecystitis between December 2019 and June 2021 were included in this study.
Introduction: The skeletal muscle area (SMA) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) are both considered as predictive parameters for mortality and morbidity for various type of cancer. In this study, we aimed to identify the effects of pre-operative SMA and PNI values on post-operative mortality and morbidity in patients with periampullary region tumors (PRT).
Methods: Patients between 2010 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups according to SMA and PNI cutoff values.
