Factors influencing postoperative recurrence of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

Purpose: This study aims to explain the factors that may influence recurrence after surgical resection for early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of 302 patients who underwent lung resection for stage I-IIA NSCLC in our clinic between January 2014 and August 2021.

Results: The recurrence rate was higher in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) than in those with adenocarcinoma (AC) ( = 0.

Comparison of tomographic kidney volumes measured by semiautomatic segmentation method with scintigraphic split renal function in predicting posttransplant kidney functions.

Introduction: In this study, it was aimed to compare scintigraphic split renal function (SRF) and computed tomographic (CT) kidney volumes by semiautomatic segmentation method in predicting graft functions after kidney transplantation.

Methods: One hundred and twelve patients (77 males, 35 females) who had a living-donor kidney transplant between 2015 and 2017 in our centre were included in the study. While SRF was calculated with technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid ( Tc-DTPA) scintigraphy, CT angiography was used for volumetric calculations.

Comparison of the Cognitive Processing Structures of Students Diagnosed With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Specific Learning Disorder According to Cognitive Assessment System Scores.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the cognitive processing structures of students diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorder (SLD). AD and HD in this study are grouped separately. There are no students diagnosed as having two subgroups together.

Fertility outcomes after preconceptional laparoscopic abdominal cerclage for second-trimester pregnancy losses.

Objective(s): Cervical incompetence is an important cause of recurrent pregnancy loss, typically presenting in the second trimester with silent cervical dilation and premature delivery of the fetus. We aimed to evaluate the conception rate and time to conception or failure to conceive after preconceptional laparoscopic abdominal cerclage (LAC).

Study Design: We conducted this retrospective observational cohort study at a tertiary referral center.

The impact of a poor quality embryo on the implantation chance of a good quality one when transferred together: A study on double blastocyst transfers.

Objective: Embryo quality assessment with morphological evaluation remains the first-line method of assessment to select the best embryo for transfer. We aimed to determine if an effect of poor quality embryos on good quality ones exists, whether by a paracrine effect or an adverse endometrial influence, when they are transferred together.

Materials And Methods: We included 412 couples, who underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles in a tertiary IVF center.
