National study on use of artificial intelligence in breast disease and cancer.

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the thoughts, reservations, approaches and perspectives on the future of artificial intelligence (AI) held by physicians specializing in breast healthcare in our country.

Methods: Our survey was sent to the members of the Federation of Turkish Breast Disease Associations (MHDF) by e-mail. The survey investigates the attitudes towards the use of AI in breast disease and cancer, including demographic characteristics of the participants, their daily practice and approaches, and their stance on the future.

Correlation between Endoscopic and Histopathological Findings in Dogs with Chronic Gastritis.

Introduction: Chronic gastritis is a common diagnosis in dogs with signs of chronic vomiting. However, there is no data concerning endoscopic and histopathological agreement in dogs with chronic gastritis. Thus, a question should be raised whether taking gastroduodenal biopsies in dogs with chronic gastritis is necessary or not.

The effect of phenol concentration on the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease: Early results of a prospective randomized study.

Objective: Our hypothesis was that a low concentration (30%) of phenol would be more effective than a high concentration (80%) in the treatment of pilonidal disease. The purpose of our study was to compare the effects of high and low doses of liquid phenol in the treatment of pilonidal disease.

Summary Of Background Data: In the treatment of the pilonidal disease, the phenolization technique and concentration of the phenol solution is not well defined.

The effect of sleeve gastrectomy on serum irisin levels in patients with morbid obesity.

Introduction: Irisin, a recently identified myokine, is associated with increased energy expenditure and has a potential role in obesity. Therefore, we investigated circulating irisin levels in morbidly obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG).

Material And Methods: Thirty morbidly obese patients undergoing SG and 30 healthy subjects were included.

Visceral organ resection during femoral hernia surgery is a predictor of morbidity.

Reports on the outcomes of emergency and elective femoral hernia surgery are scarce. Most studies do not distinguish femoral hernia from other types of groin hernia; studies of femoral hernia alone are few in number. The main objective of the present study was to identify factors affecting morbidity of femoral hernia patients.

The effectiveness of simultaneous oncoplastic breast surgery in patients with locally advanced breast cancer.

Background: Oncological outcomes of the oncoplastic breast surgery in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) are not well defined. This study examined the effects of oncoplastic techniques for LABC in terms of localized control and survival. We also evaluated the esthetic results of patients who had undergone oncoplastic breast conservation surgery (OBCS) and their satisfaction with the outcome.

Comparison of Clinical and Pathological Differences of Breast Cancer Patients under 35 and above 55 Years of Age.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical, pathologic and management differences between breast cancer patients under 35 years of age and postmenopausal patients above 55 years of age.

Materials And Methods: Patients who were operated on for breast cancer between November 2003 and March 2013 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were separated into two Groups according their age; Group 1 (<35 years) and Group 2 (>55 years).

Effect of nifedipine on the healing of left colonic anastomoses in rats.

Purpose: Ca(2+) channel blockers inhibit collagenase production and have a vasodilatatory effect. They also restrict the formation of ischemia-reperfusion induced free oxygen radicals. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of nifedipine on the healing of colonic anastomoses in a rat model.
