Objective: The aim is to contrast the serum levels of thiol-disulfide homeostasis and ischemic modified albumin between patients with leiomyoma and healthy individuals and to assess the impact of oxidative stress on the etiopathogenesis of leiomyoma.
Methods: In this prospective case-control study, a total of 154 participants were included, consisting of 77 cases diagnosed with leiomyoma and 77 healthy individuals without leiomyoma. The demographic characteristics and ultrasonographic findings of the participants were recorded, and parameters such as albumin, ischemia-modified albumin, and thiol-disulfide homeostasis were evaluated.

Background: The precise etiology of hypoplasia of the posterior mitral valve leaflet (PMVL) remains incompletely elucidated; however, it has been hypothesized to stem from genetic mutations occurring during fetal development. Herein, we present the anatomical characteristics of the mitral valve and associated cardiac pathologies in patients with hypoplastic PMVL.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study involved patients who presented between 2015 and 2021 at a tertiary healthcare facility.

Methods: This retrospective study included 200 patients, 90 with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome (Group 1) and 110 healthy controls (Group 2). Twelve-hour fasting blood samples were collected to measure complete blood count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) (neutrophil x platelet/lymphocyte), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) (neutrophil x monocyte/lymphocyte), pan-immune inflammation value (PIV) (neutrophil x platelet x monocyte/lymphocyte), C-reactive protein (CRP), uric acid, glucose, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-HDL, and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index (Ln (TG [mg/dL] × glucose [mg/dL]/2)).

Objective: Gastric cancer is the second most common cancer in the world, accounting for 650,000 deaths per year, and is observed in approximately 10% of the patients diagnosed. Extracellular matrix abnormalities have been documented in gastric cancer patients. The aim of our study was to understand the role of high levels of hyaluronan, an extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan, and its mechanistic role in gastric cancer pathobiology.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the success and complication rates of retrograde intrarenal surgery for lower calyceal renal stones performed with novel tip-bendable suction ureteral access sheaths and standard ureteral access sheaths.
Methods: Between March 2023 and March 2024, a total of 88 patients underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery for lower renal calyceal stones smaller than 20 mm. Based on the access sheath used, patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (n=43) included patients treated with novel tip-bendable suction ureteral access sheaths and Group 2 (n=45) included patients treated with standard ureteral access sheaths.

Although genetic, environmental, autoimmune, and psychological factors are believed to play a role in the onset of alopecia areata (AA), the exact cause remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether there are differences in traumatic experiences, dissociative symptoms, and alexithymia levels between groups. Fifty eight patients diagnosed with AA, 58 individuals with dermatological diseases thought to have a low psychosomatic component, and 58 individuals not diagnosed with any chronic disease were included in the study.

Methemoglobinemia is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition in which hemoglobin is oxidized, impairing the oxygen-carrying capacity. While congenital forms exist, acquired methemoglobinemia can occur in perioperative settings, especially following exposure to oxidizing agents such as dyes used in sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Patent Blue V, a synthetic aniline dye commonly used for SLNB, has been associated with rare but serious adverse effects, including methemoglobinemia.

Introduction: The positive effect of varicocelectomy on sperm parameters (sperm morphology, concentration, motility) and fertility and pregnancy rates has been proven. Although various techniques have been defined for varicocele treatment, varicocelectomy with the pulling technique was first defined in 2017. The aim of this retrospective study is to compare the effectiveness and reliability of subinguinal microsurgical varicocelectomy with the "pulling" technique and conventional subinguinal varicocelectomy.

Coronary collateral flow (CCF) is crucial for myocardial viability in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease, specifically ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, hypertension can contribute to vascular dysfunction and hinder the formation of CCF. Wide pulse pressure (WPP), defined as ≥65 mmHg, may better reflect impaired cardiovascular health compared to classic blood pressure indices.

When not treated effectively, the functional loss associated with pain affects the quality of life and brings about psychosocial issues. In this study, prospective observational comparison of the effects of ultrasonography (USG) guided subacromial injection (SAI) versus subacromial injection combined with suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) on pain, functionality and sleep quality in the treatment of shoulder pain unresponsive to conservative treatments due to rotator cuff lesions is made.

Suppression of Tumorigenicity 2 (ST2), a member of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) superfamily, is recognized as an important biomarker in inflammatory responses and cardiovascular diseases. Elevated serum levels of sST2 have prognostic value, particularly in cases of cardiac stress such as heart failure and acute pulmonary embolism (APE). We aimed to assess ST2 levels as a potential biomarker for right heart dysfunction in APE patients, particularly in the context of its limited predictive value for mortality and risk stratification.
