Peripheral nerve gaps exceeding 1 cm require a bridging repair strategy. Clinical feasibility of autogenous nerve grafting is limited by donor site comorbidity. In this study we investigated neuroregenerative efficacy of autogenous vein grafts implanted with tissue fragments from distal nerve in combination with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in repair of rat peripheral nerve defects.

Background: Hypospadias is a common urogenital system disorder. The frenulum, which is the most sensitive area of the glans penis, is not present in patients with hypospadias. This may lead to a failure in sexual and ejaculatory function, and cause emotional problems affecting cognitive processes.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of olfactory dysfunction on quality of life (QOL), and to investigate olfactory dysfunction related self-reported clinical features in Turkish population. The participants were questioned about the presence of any olfactory dysfunction. Participants with a complaint of olfactory dysfunction were asked to fill out a survey and then a validated olfactory test was performed.

- Arrhythmias can cause syncope that resembles epilepsy, and there's growing evidence of vagal tonus issues linked to epilepsy.
- In a study of 376 patients, ECG abnormalities were found in 18% of those undergoing EEG for epilepsy evaluation, with higher rates in females compared to males.
- The findings suggest that simultaneous ECG and EEG recordings are crucial for identifying significant heart issues that could mimic seizures or interfere with epilepsy treatment.
Background: Olfactory assessment is often neglected in clinical practice, although olfactory loss can assist in diagnosis and may lead to significant morbidity. "Sniffin' Sticks" is a modern test of nasal chemosensory performance that was developed in Germany and validated in many countries. Our aim was to validate the applicability of "Sniffin' Sticks" in a Turkish population.

Study Design: Prospective clinical study.
Methods: This study was carried out in 78 volunteers between the ages of 20 and 60 years.
