Introduction Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an endocrinological disorder associated with increased systemic inflammation. This study aimed to examine the changes in the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), serum parathormone, serum corrected calcium, serum phosphate, and white blood cell (WBC) count ​​in patients with PHPT before and after parathyroidectomy. Methods A total of 37 patients who underwent successful parathyroidectomy for PHPT were included in the study.

Background: Hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) performed in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis has a cytotoxic effect on tumour cells. This cytotoxic effect also adversely affects the wound healing of anastomosis, which is frequently undertaken in this patient group, and causes anastomotic leakage and intestinal fistulas. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel has been used in wound healing and has shown efficacy.

Lymphoproliferative disorders presenting with clinical features similar to ovarian tumors are a rare clinical condition. Even though lymphomas of ovarian origin are rare, they should be considered during the differential diagnosis of tumors of ovarian origin. In this case report, we aimed to present a case of Burkitt lymphoma that mimics advanced ovarian carcinoma.

Introduction: Cholecystectomy performed for benign diseases of the gallbladder is important for the diagnosis of gallbladder cancer. This is done by pathological examination of the removed specimens for patients with no detected or suspected complications before surgery. Although some centers undertake selective approaches for histopathological examination of gallbladder specimens, many centers perform this examination routinely.

Diseases and tumors of the appendix vermiformis are very rare, except for acute appendicitis. This study aimed to examine rare findings in the histopathologic examinations of specimens of patients undergoing appendectomy due to the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The files of 1970 patients undergoing appendectomy due to the diagnosis of acute appendicitis between March 2012 and March 2016 were retrospectively investigated.

Background And Objective: The pneumoperitoneum has been shown to decrease femoral blood flow, resulting in venous stasis. We analyzed the effects of the pneumoperitoneum and epidural analgesia on femoral vein diameter and the peak flow rate of femoral vein during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Patients And Methods: Forty patients were randomly allocated to receive either combined epidural analgesia (EA) and general anesthesia (GA) (group EA/GA) or GA alone (group GA).

The intestine is highly susceptible to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Splanchnic ischemia is the initial event that releases injurious factors, leading to systemic disorders with high morbidity and mortality. Oxidative stress mediators are believed to contribute to the intestinal I/R injury.

Background: Pneumoperitoneum (P) created to facilitate laparoscopy (L) is associated with splanchnic hypoperfusion, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and oxidative stress.

Aim: This study investigated the effects of pre- and post-laparoscopic conditioning, zinc, pentoxifylline (PTX), and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on markers of I/R injury in an animal model.

Methods: Sprague-Dawley male rats (n = 56, weight range 300-350 g) were randomly placed in one of seven treatment groups.

The role of homocysteine role in inflammation and malignancy has been studied experimentally. Some researchers suggest that a relationship exists between pancreatitis and homocystinuria, possibly being secondary to occlusive vascular disease of the pancreas. To date, plasma homocysteine levels in pancreatic disease have not been studied.
