Purpose: The aim is to examine the efficacy of inflammatory indicators to predict thyroid cancer in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in an endemic region of nodular goiter.
Methods: The prospective database was reviewed to identify patients operated on with the diagnosis of PHPT and thyroid disease between April 2015 and June 2021. Permanent pathologic reports were used as the gold standard for diagnosis.
Objectives: Lipohemarthrosis is a key finding in acute trauma patients and indicates an intra-articular fracture. The horizontal beam lateral radiography with supine position is known to be the best technique to demonstrate knee lipohemarthrosis. Our main purpose was to compare the sensitivity of supine and standing lateral knee radiographs to detect lipohemarthrosis.

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of fetal liver and placenta elastography and differences in pregnancies with GDM.
Methods: Fifty-five women with GDM and 40 women with uncomplicated pregnancy as the control group was enrolled prospectively in this case-control study.
Background/aim: We examined the protective effects of the natural flavonoid, quercetin, against cerebral vasospasm in an experimental rat subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) model.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-eight albino Wistar rats were divided into five groups as follows: group 1 (G1, n=8), no experimental intervention; group 2 (G2, n=8), subarachnoid physiological saline; group 3 (G3, n=8), SAH; group 4 (G4, n=7) SAH and low-dose (10 mg/kg) quercetin treatment; group 5 (G5, n=7), SAH and high-dose (50 mg/kg) quercetin treatment. Subarachnoid haemorrhage was induced by injection of 0.
