Relationship Between Blood Monocyte-HDL Ratio and Carotid Intima Media Thickness in with Postmenopausal Women.

Introduction/background: The monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (MHR) and carotid intima media thickness may be used as a marker of inflammation and oxidative stres. This study is aimed to investigate the role of MHR in etiopathogenesis and to determine the association between MHR and carotid intima media thickness, fracture risk, and quality of life (QoL) in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients without comorbidities.

Methodology: Sixty osteoporosis, sixty osteopenia and sixty control groups were included in the prospective study evaluating postmenapausal women.

Is tendinitis in volar plating related to the dorsally protruding screw length and its compartment?

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the length of the protruded screws from the dorsal cortex and extensor tendon damage in all compartments.

Patients And Methods: Between May 2020 and April 2021, a total of 29 patients (13 males, 16 females; mean age: 52.3±13.

Determination of congenital absence of palmaris longus tendon with clinical examination and ultrasonography.

Objectives: The tendon of the palmaris longus is commonly used as a tendon graft in many reconstructive surgeries. Palmaris longus absence (PLA) was found in 15% among individuals worldwide. In this prospective study, we aimed to conduct an incidence study in which physical examination methods were confirmed by ultrasonography in PLA, and to evaluate the relationship of absence with age, gender, laterality and dominant hand.

Comparison of shoulder Magnetic Resonance Imaging findings between patients with stage 4 chronic kidney disease and hemodialysis patients with healthy controls.

Background: Shoulder involvement is frequently observed in chronic renal disease (CRD) and hemodialysis patients.

Objective: Our aim is to compare shoulder Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings of stage 4 CRD patients naive to dialysis, hemodialysis patients and healthy controls.

Methods: Twenty hemodialysis patients with shoulder pain (Group 1), 30 hemodialysis patients without shoulder pain (Group 2), 20 patients with stage 4 CRD (Group 3) and 30 healthy controls (Group 4) were enrolled.

Correlation of serum galectin-3 level with renal volume and function in adult polycystic kidney disease.

Purpose: The decrease in kidney functions in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is strongly correlated with the severity and growth of kidney cysts. Total kidney volume (TKV) was shown to be an early marker of the severity of the disease and a predictor of reduction in kidney functions. New treatment approaches for ADPKD have led to a need for easily applicable strong biomarkers predicting progression of the disease.

Focal Biliary System Obstruction and Atypical Liver Mass: Intrabiliary Ruptured Cyst Hydatid Case Report.

Background: Hydatid disease can involve any part of the body, but the liver is the most frequently affected organ. Intrabiliary rupture is one of the most serious complications of a hepatic hydatid cyst. Radiological findings, especially magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP), are helpful in the diagnosis of hydatid disease.

Painful and painless shoulder magnetic resonance imaging comparisons in hemodialysis patients and correlation with clinical findings.

Background: Shoulder pain is frequently observed in haemodialysis patients.

Objective: To compare haemodialysis patients with or without shoulder pain in terms of shoulder motion ranges, β2 microglobulin levels and magnetic resonance imaging findings.

Methods: Forty-three patients undergoing dialysis were enrolled, of which 23 patients had explicit shoulder pain at night, which appeared during dialysis.

Preoperative Evaluation of Axillary Lymph Nodes in Malignant Breast Lesions with Ultrasonography and Histopathologic Correlation.

Purpose: Our aim is to define the sonographic criteria for assessing involved axillary nodes and to evaluate the accuracy of axillary ultrasound in the staging workup of individuals with breast cancer.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-five patients with breast cancer were prospectively evaluated with preoperative ultrasonography (US) to determine the presence of axillary lymph node metastasis. We determined whether there was axillary lymph node metastasis after axillary lymph node dissection or sentinel lymph node biopsy.

Assessment of Pineal Gland Volume and Calcification in Healthy Subjects: Is it Related to Aging?

Purpose: The human pineal gland is a small neuroendocrine organ which produces melatonin. The main goal of this study was to provide a reference range for pineal volume in all age groups and to determine calcified and noncalcified tissue and their proportions, which may be a reflection of melatonin production in all age groups, by using very thin computerized tomography (CT) slices.

Materials And Methods: A total of 167 outpatients had undergone cranial CT.

Jejunal Diverticulosis Presented with Acute Abdomen and Diverticulitis Complication: A Case Report.

Background: Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare, usually asymptomatic disease. Its incidence increases with age. If symptomatic, diverticulosis may cause life-threatening acute complications such as diverticulitis, perforation, intestinal hemorrhage and obstruction.

The fate of abstracts presented at Turkish national radiology congresses in 2010-2012.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the analysis and publication rates of abstracts presented at the Turkish National Radiology meetings in 2010-2012.

Methods: Abstracts presented in the national radiology meetings of 2010, 2011, and 2012 were included in the study. The presentations were classified according to presentation type (oral or poster presentations), study type, study design, imaged organ or body systems, imaging modalities, time interval between the presentation and the publication date, and the journal in which the article was published.
