A reappraisal of pediatric thoracic surface anatomy.

Accurate knowledge of surface anatomy is essential for physical examination, invasive procedures, and anatomy education. Individual factors such as age make surface landmarks variable so accurate descriptions are needed. The aim of this study is to describe age-related surface landmarks for intrathoracic structures in children.

Arterial hemodynamics and its correlation with retinal microarchitecture in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.

Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the correlation between arterial hemodynamics measured by color Doppler ultrasonography and retinal microarchitecture parameters determined by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.

Methods: This prospective study included 82 participants. Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell inner plexiform layer, and ganglion cell complex values were measured.

A reappraisal of pediatric abdominal surface anatomy.

Surface anatomy is fundamental to clinical and surgical practices. As the surface anatomy varies with age, the purpose of this study is to provide age-standardized surface markings for the abdomen in children. A total of 155 abdominal computed tomography scans of healthy children aged 0-18 years were categorized into six groups, and the surface anatomy of the major vascular structures, solid viscera, and anatomical planes in the abdomen was analyzed.

Correlation of optical coherence tomography and Doppler ultrasonography findings in pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate the correlation between the color Doppler imaging (CDI) results and parameters determined by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in cases with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (XFS).

Methods: 99 participants were included in this prospective study. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC), optic nerve head (ONH) measurements were recorded.

Correlation of Measurements From Doppler Ultrasound and Optical Coherence Tomography in Glaucoma.

Objectives: To relate the changes in ocular structure and hemodynamic response in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods: Patients with POAG (n = 46) and control subjects (n = 53) were recruited. Retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell complex were evaluated using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

The relationship between frailty and serum alpha klotho levels in geriatric patients.

Background: Frailty is a medical syndrome resulting in loss of endurance, strength and physiological function. There is insufficient data to understand the process of frailty formation at the gene level, however one of the product of Klotho gene known as an anti-aging gene with many functions that prolong lifespan is alpha klotho protein. We aimed to investigate the relationship between frailty and the serum alpha klotho protein levels.

Sonoelastic response of median nerve to rehabilitation in carpal tunnel syndrome.

To evaluate the sonoelastic response of the median nerve in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome following conservative rehabilitation with splint plus exercise regimens. A total of thirty-five patients diagnosed with mild carpal tunnel syndrome and treated with splint plus exercise therapy; hand resting splint all day for 3 weeks and then only at nights along with nerve gliding exercises in 10 repetitions 3 times a day. The median nerve was evaluated clinically prior to the treatment and at week 6 of therapy using physical examination, electrodiagnostic neurophysiology tests and radiological imaging; Boston Scores, electromyogram, ultrasonography and sonoelastography.

Is Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System Useful as an Adult Ultrasonographic Malignancy Risk Stratification Method ın Pediatric Thyroid Nodules?

Background: Data on thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TI-RADS) generally belong to studies performed in adults. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the performance and utility of TI-RADS in the pediatric group.

Materials And Methods: From January 2015 to 2018, 108 nodules were evaluated in 1028 thyroid ultrasound examinations.

Pregnancy-associated breast cancer: A review of 47 women.

Purpose: Pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) is a rare disease. However, its expected incidence tends to be increased because of delayed maternal age. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics of PABC cases diagnosed in our center.

The Relationship Between MRI Findings and Molecular Subtypes in Women With Breast Cancer.

Objective: To determine the preoperative MRI findings of patients with breast cancer according to molecular subtypes.

Materials And Methods: MRI findings of women diagnosed with breast cancer in our department between January 2013 and June 2017 who had preoperative breast MRI examinations were evaluated and histopathological findings were recorded retrospectively. The findings were classified according to the BI-RADS MRI classification by three radiologists.

The Role of Real-Time Elastography in the Differential Diagnosis of Salivary Gland Tumors.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to scrutinize the value of qualitative elastography in the diagnosis of salivary gland masses.

Methods: Sixty patients were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients aged between 1 and 91 years (mean age, 48.

Problem-solving breast MRI: useful or a source of new problems?

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the findings and results from breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations performed for problem-solving purposes due to inconclusive conventional imaging findings.

Methods: Imaging findings, biopsy and follow-up results were retrospectively evaluated for breast MRI performed for problem-solving purposes at our department between January 2011 and December 2016 for cases whose mammography, tomosynthesis, or ultrasonography findings were inconclusive.

Results: Lesions were identified in 414 of 986 problem-solving MRI examinations, and 13.

The role of tomosynthesis in intraoperative specimen evaluation.

To investigate the contribution of breast tomosynthesis to intraoperative specimen evaluation in subjects with breast cancer. Approval was obtained from the hospital ethics committee. Specimen mammography, tomosynthesis, and, if available, ultrasonography images were retrospectively assessed for 208 women who had undergone conservative surgery at our hospital between January 2013 and April 2016 after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

Grueneberg Glomeruli in the Olfactory Bulb are Activated by Odorants and Cool Temperature.

Neurons of the Grueneberg ganglion respond to cool temperatures as well as to distinct odorants and extend axonal processes to the olfactory bulb of the brain. Analyses of transgenic mice, in which Grueneberg ganglion neurons and their axons are labeled, revealed that these axons innervated nine distinct glomeruli distributed in a characteristic topographical pattern in dorsal, lateral, ventral, and medial regions of rather posterior areas in the bulb. To assess activation of these glomeruli (hereinafter designated as Grueneberg glomeruli) upon stimulation of Grueneberg ganglion neurons, mice were exposed to the odorant 2,3-dimethylpyrazine (2,3-DMP) and the expression of the activity-dependent marker c-Fos in juxtaglomerular cells of the relevant glomeruli was monitored.

Rarely Seen Nasal Congenital Problems Causing Neonatal Upper Respiratory Obstruction: A Case Series.

Since newborns are obligatory nasal breathers, upper respiratory tract problems may sometimes be life threatening. The most common pathology causing dyspnea and stridor in newborns is laryngomalacia. Nasal cavity pathologies that risk the neonatal airway are more rarely met.
