Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of adalimumab (ADA) treatment in non-infectious uveitis and the effect of disease duration, age, and etiology on treatment outcome.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients with active non-infectious uveitis who were on ADA treatment with at least 3 months follow-up from a single tertiary care center. Uveitis type, any associated systemic disease, uveitis duration before ADA, duration of ADA treatment, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior chamber cell (ACC) grade, vitritis grade, intraocular pressure (IOP) values, central macular thickness (CMT), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) score, complications and relapse rate were recorded.
Article Synopsis
- A rare complication of TAPP repair is mesh-induced appendicitis, with only five previous cases reported.
- A 25-year-old male developed acute appendicitis two years after TAPP surgery, presenting with abdominal pain, nausea, and loss of appetite.
- Imaging confirmed appendicitis due to the appendix being adhered to the TAPP mesh, and the patient successfully underwent laparoscopic appendectomy with no complications.
Aim: The tubercle of Zuckerkandl (TZ) is considered to be the fusion point of the ultimabranchial body and the median thyroid body. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of TZ and its relationship with other anatomical variations and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paralysis.
Material And Methods: Data regarding the thyroid lobe and RLN of patients with thyroidectomy between June 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively evaluated.
There are limited data on the effects of a high-fructose diet on the female reproductive system. Although metformin has some functional effects on female fertility, its reproductive outcome on high fructose diet-induced metabolic syndrome is unclear. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of a high fructose diet on histomorphological and molecular parameters of the reproductive organs and vaginal microbiota as well as the treatment potential of metformin.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the characteristics and outcomes of adult patients who underwent surgery for thyroglossal cysts (TGCs), aiming to compare them with existing data on pediatric cases.
- The research included 16 adult patients (average age 43.9 years), with the majority diagnosed via ultrasonography and treated mostly with the Sistrunk procedure, while some had concurrent thyroid diseases including papillary thyroid cancer.
- No recurrence of TGC was observed during an average follow-up period of just over 22 months, indicating that adult patients may also experience effective surgical outcomes similar to those in children.
