Long-Term Results of Modified Catheterization Technique in the Treatment of CE Type 2 and 3b Liver Hydatid Cysts.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term results of modified catheterization technique (Mo-CAT) for percutaneous treatment of liver CE2/CE3b hydatid disease in a large series.

Materials And Methods: A total of 119 patients (F/M:73/59) and 132 liver CE2 and CE3b cysts who underwent percutaneous treatment by Mo-CAT from 2009 to 2020 were included in the study. Patients' age ranges from 8 to 78 years (mean: 39 years).

Evaluating diagnostic performance: A comparative analysis of cell-free DNA and serological test in hepatic cystic Echinococcosis.

Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease caused by sensu lato. Diagnosing CE primarily relies on imaging techniques, and there is a crucial need for an objective laboratory test to enhance the diagnostic process. Today, cell-free DNAs (cfDNAs) have gained importance regarding their biomarker potential.

Prevalance of Non-Provoke Generalize Tonic-Clonic Seizure in Sporadic Alzheimer's Disease.

Background And Purpose: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and epileptic seizure are among the most common health problems in the elderly population. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence rate and predictors of seizures in sporadic AD patients.

Methods: The study was conducted by retrospectively for a period of 10 years examining the file records.

Percutaneous Metallic Stents in Malignant Biliary Obstruction: Comparison of Nitinol and Wall Stents.

Introduction: Palliation of malign biliary obstruction is important which is commonly carried out by percutaneous biliary stenting. Our primary aim with this study was assessment of performance of wall stents, and nitinol stents for the palliation of malign biliary obstruction.

Methods: The medical records of 157 patients who underwent biliary stenting in our department between January 1, 1995, and December 31, 2005, were retrospectively analyzed.
