Purpose: Height age (HA) and bone age (BA) delay is well known in the patients with short stature. Therefore assessing pituitary hypoplasia based on chronological age (CA) might cause overdiagnosis of pituitary hypoplasia. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of the PH and PV based on CA, HA, or BA in the patients with GHD.

Typically, it causes pain that is most noticeable during the night, which is improved by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In the treatment of symptomatic lesions, open surgery for nidus removal is the gold standard.

Two different levels of axial sections were used.

It presents with autosomal dominant arteriopathy, subcortical infarctions, and leukoencephalopathy. Its common clinical presentations are seen as recurrent strokes, migraine or migraine-like headaches, progressive dementia, pseudobulbar paralysis, and psychiatric conditions.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the blood flow objectively and determine the hemodynamic changes in paramedian forehead flap with respect to influential factors of age, gender, and smoking.

Background: Abdominoplasty and augmentation mastopexy are often performed in the same operation. Although silicone breast implants are usually used for breast augmentation, resected abdominal dermis fat tissue can be used for this purpose. We describe a new autologous breast augmentation technique using dermis fat grafts obtained from a simultaneous abdominoplasty operation.

A 34-year-old female patient was admitted due to nasal obstruction and epistaxis.

Materials And Methods: Data for RFA performed in in high risk patients were retrospectively evaluated. Other RFA applications in patients with no anesthetic and/or surgical risk were excluded.
Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) is the obstruction of the fetal upper airways, which may be partial or complete. It is usually incompatible with life. Prenatal recognition of the disease is quite important due to the recently described management options.

In fundus examination, both eyes had elevation of the optic disc and star shaped hard exudates in the macula. Magnetic resonance imaging was completely normal except the saccular dilatation of bilateral optic nerve sheath.

A total of 30 patients clinically diagnosed with left varicocele who underwent a microsurgical inguinal varicocelectomy were examined 3 times with CDS for testicular blood flow parameters, first before, then 3 months after, and finally 6 months after the operation. CDS values of testicular blood flow (peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity, resistive index, and pulsatility index) were measured from testicular, capsular, and intratesticular arteries.

The major clinical applications of perfusion CT are in acute stroke and oncology. Currently, there are very limited data on the application of perfusion CT in urology.

Methods: Twenty male Sprague-Dawley rats were included for the study. Torsion was applied to 10 rats and perfusion CT was performed in the first hour to evaluate the following perfusion parameters: blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV) and time to peak (TTP) values.

Purpose: Most intracranial dissecting aneurysms involve the posterior circulation, and the intradural segment of the vertebral artery is affected in majority of these. The aim of this report is to summarize the results of endovascular treatment in patients with ruptured dissecting aneurysms of the non-vertebral posterior circulation.
Materials And Methods: During the past six years, the medical records of 23 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage related to dissecting aneurysm arising from non-vertebral arteries of the posterior circulation were reviewed retrospectively.
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease is rare in patients under the age of 40 in the absence of metabolic or familial predisposition. A high incidence of involvement of the transverse ligament of the atlas in CPPD deposition disease was reported. However, involvement of the craniocervical junction is rarely symptomatic.
