Diagnostic performance of two versions of an artificial intelligence system in interval breast cancer detection.

Background: Various versions of artificial intelligence (AI) have been used as a diagnostic tool aid in the diagnosis of breast cancer. One of the most important problems in breast screening progmrams is interval breast cancer (IBC).

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performance of Transpara v1.

Prospective Evaluation of Ipsilateral and Contralateral Renal Blood Flow During Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery.

Objectives: To evaluate the changes of peak systolic velocity(PSV), end-diastolic velocity(EDV), and resistive index(RI) of renal and arcuate arteries at the ipsilateral and contralateral kidneys during the retrograde intrarenal surgery.

Methods: The patients who had RIRS for the treatment of renal stones were prospectively included in the study. An experienced radiologist performed doppler ultrasonography of the ipsilateral and contralateral kidney before the surgery just after the anesthesia and at the end of the surgery before stenting.

Vagus nerve assessment via ultrasonography in irritable bowel syndrome. Are there any changes of dimension in the vagus nerve?

Background/aim: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the functional gastrointestinal disorder which has closely relationship with Central Nervous System (CNS). VN is the major connector between CNS and Enteric Nervous System (ENS). The aim of this study was to investigate the possible changes of dimension of Vagus Nerve (VN) with Vagus ultrasonography (VU) in IBS.

Assessment of the Glenoid Morphology Based on Demographic Data in the Turkish Population.

Purpose: In this study, our aim was to evaluate the glenoid version, height, and width measurements based on gender, side, age, height, and hand dominance in the Turkish population using computed tomography (CT) images.

Methods: In our study, CT images of 140 patients (62 females and 78 males; mean age: 39.6 years) who had no shoulder complaints were evaluated retrospectively.

Transient postsurgical gastroparesis is accompanied by reversible changes of the cervical vagus nerve's morphology after neck dissection - an ultrasound study.

Aims: During neck dissection (ND), the vagus nerve (VN) may be exposed to manipulation together with common carotid artery and internal jugular vein. The postsurgical gastroparesis was previous related to the VN injury. The aim of our study was to evaluate by ultrasound the VN changes in patients with unilateral and bilateral ND and to establish if there is a relationship between postoperative findings of VN and postsurgical gastroparesis.

Effectiveness of the diagnostic pathway of BLES: could it be safely used as a therapeutic method in selected benign lesions?

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to investigate the breast lesion excision system (BLES) as a tool and a practical alternative technique to surgical biopsy and other percutaneous biopsy methods for suspicious lesions. We also wanted to share our initial experience with BLES and compare it with standard percutaneous biopsy methods.

Methods: From July 2015 to December 2016, a total of 50 patients who had high-risk lesions which were diagnosed with core needle biopsy (CNB) or had lesions with radiology pathology discordance, or had high-risk factors, high-grade anxiety, or suspicious follow-up lesions were enrolled in the study.

Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomographic Findings of the Wandering Spleen: A Case Report.

Wandering spleen is a rare entity that defines abnormal localization of spleen due to various causes. Wandering spleen is prone to rotate on its peduncular axis and finally torsion and infarction. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography can visualize the torsioned peduncle and non-enhanced parenchyma with contrast medium.

Is bladder blood flow an etiologic factor for the bladder pain syndrome?

Aim: Bladder pain syndrome (BPS) is a complex disease which causes cognitive, behavioral, sexual, and emotional problems. Vascular factors related to bladder blood supply may be one of the etiologic cause of BPS. This study aims to investigate the bladder blood flow and internal iliac artery resistive indices of patients with BPS.

Collateral circulation between angiosomes in the feet of diabetic patients.

Objectives The main factor in the healing of foot ulcers in diabetic patients is adequate perfusion. There is no consensus on whether direct or indirect revascularization is more effective in leg revascularization. At the centre of that debate, there is a disagreement about whether collateral circulation is sufficient or not.

An unusual presentation of brucellosis: hepatic microabscesses.

Hepatic abscess due to Brucella species is an extremely rare complication especially in acute illness. Here, we report a case of hepatic microabscesses probably caused by in a 33-year-old woman with acute infection who was successfully treated with a combination of doxycycline and rifampicin for 3 months.

Effect of Tadalafil on Prevention of Urethral Stricture After Urethral Injury: An Experimental Study.

Objective: To evaluate the preventive effect of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (tadalafil) on the formation of urethral stricture after urethral injury.

Materials And Methods: A total of 28, 4-month-old male New Zealand rabbits were included and divided into 3 groups. Group 1 was a sham group with 8 rabbits that underwent only urethroscopy.
