View Article and Find Full Text PDFAim: To evaluate the relationships between problematic internet use (PIU) and psychiatric comorbid disorders and internet use habits in a clinical sample of adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Method: This cross-sectional study included 95 adolescents with ADHD. Problematic behaviors and symptoms related to internet use were evaluated via Young's Internet Addiction Scale (YIAS), and subjects with a YIAS score of ≥50 were categorized as PIU while those with a score of <50 were defined as normal internet use (NIU).
Aim: We assumed that one of the most widely used anesthetic agents, propofol, which is the most widely used anesthetic for sedation, may reduce inflammatory processes and organ injury induced by cecal ligation and puncture.
Study Design: Bacterial peritonitis was induced in 18 rats by cecal ligation and puncture. The rats were randomly assigned to three groups.
Objective: To determine the outcome of recurrent Graves' disease with ophthalmopathy (GO) following bilateral total thyroidectomy (TT) in patients with no history of anti-inflammatory treatment with steroids or radioactive iodine treatment.
Methods: From May 2002 to August 2005, 35 patients (27 female, 8 male) with different stages of Graves' disease underwent TT. The degree of ophthalmopathy was assessed by the NOSPECS scoring system and thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb) levels were measured for the detection of thyroidal and retro-orbital inflammatory activity before and after surgery.

December 2005
Purpose: Our aim was to determine the distribution and nature of cranial MRI findings in preeclampsia/eclampsia, and also to correlate them with clinical and laboratory data.
Materials And Methods: MR imaging was performed in 39 patients with preeclampsia (n=30) and eclampsia (n=9), and the distribution and signal patterns of the lesions were documented. Clinical findings, blood pressures, and laboratory data were compared statistically in patients with and without MR imaging findings.
