Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Findings following posterior Sagital Ano-Recto Plasty (PSARP) in Severe Incontinent Children with High Imperforate Anus (IA).

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate pelvic MRI accuracy for measurement of anatomical land marks in severe fecal incontinent (FI) children with high imperforate anus (IA).

Materials And Methods: A total of 80 children (40 cases and 40 controls) aged more than 4 years with severe FI were assessed. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed by a radiologist with the same device.

Urinary iodine excretion after using povidone iodine or chlorhexidine gluconate for topical disinfectant in patients undergoing thyroidectomy due to thyroid carcinoma: When to do radio active iodine therapy?

Background: Povidone Iodine (PI) is the most frequent antiseptic used as a topical disinfectant in surgery. It has been reported high transcutaneous iodine absorption due to topical PI usage, but there is a lack of data in periods of excess iodine depletion.

Materials And Methods: This is a cross-sectional study designed to assess serial urinary iodine concentration (UIC) after topical administration of PI to evaluate the transcutaneous iodine absorption and the proper iodine depletion time for safe administration of Radio Active Iodine (RAI) therapy as ablative or adjuvant therapy.

Ferulago angulata extract alleviates testicular toxicity in male mice exposed to diazinon and lead.

In this study, we investigated the protective effects of Ferulago angulata extract (FAE) against the reproductive toxicants Diazinon (DZN) and Lead (Pb) in mice. These pollutants are known to induce oxidative stress (OS), while FAE acts as a natural antioxidant. Adult male NMRI mice were exposed to DZN, Pb, and DZN+Pb, with or without FAE treatment for six weeks.

Zinc supplementation ameliorates type 2 diabetes markers through the enhancement of total antioxidant capacity in overweight patients.

Background: Evidence show that the recommended dose of zinc may not be sufficient for controlling pathological conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of zinc supplementation on the oxidative status in overweight T2DM. In addition, the routine glycaemic parameters were determined and compared in zinc-treated and placebo groups.

The relationship between thyroid function tests and sleep quality: cross-sectional study.

Introduction: The relationship between sleep and hormones have long been recognized. Studies indicated that sleep quality is one of the major modulatory effects on the endocrine system. In this study, we aimed to assess the serum concentration of thyroid hormones in individuals who suffered from low quality sleep.
