The relationship between QRS-T angle and left ventricular global longitudinal strain in prehypertensive patients.

Background And Aim: This study aims to examine the relationship between the QRS-T angle (QRS-Ta) detected on electrocardiography and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) calculated on echocardiography in prehypertensive patients.

Materials And Methods: A total of 300 patients were included in our study, and the median value of QRS-Ta of the entire population was 27.The patients were divided into two groups (supramedian 148 patients, inframedian 152 patients) according to the median value.

School-based psychosocial and educational interventions for children and adolescents after the 1999 Marmara earthquakes in Turkey: A review on lessons learned.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of modified lacrimal gland suspension surgery combined with upper lid blepharoplasty.

Methods: Between December 2020 and December 2021, 365 patients admitted to our clinic for ptosis were included in the study. The data of 89 patients who underwent upper lid blepharoplasty with lacrimal gland repositioning for dermatochalasis were analyzed.

Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy With Modified Mucosal Flap Technique.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the success of mucosa-sparing surgery with a modified inverted U flap in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (E-DCR). Forty-two patients who underwent E-DCR without mucosal flap were included in group 1, and 41 patients who underwent E-DCR with modified inverted U mucosal flap technique were included in group 2. The patients were followed up for at least 12 months postoperatively, and the complications and functional success in both groups were analyzed comparatively.
