Radiological changes in the thymus in patients who have had COVID-19 and in vaccinated persons who have not had COVID-19: a CT study.

Background: There are very few and limited studies on the role of the thymus in COVID-19 infection. It is known that thymus morphology changes in individuals vaccinated against COVID-19 although they do not have active infection.

Objective: Our study aims to evaluate these differences in detail.

Change of frontal sinus in age of according to the international frontal sinus anatomy classification.

Background: The radiological and surgical anatomy of the frontal sinus should be well-known in all age groups to successfully manage frontal sinus diseases and reduce the risk of complications in sinus surgery.

Purpose: To define frontal sinus and frontal cells according to the International Frontal Sinus Anatomy Classification (IFAC) criteria in pediatrics and adults.

Material And Methods: A total of 320 frontal recess regions of 160 individuals (80 pediatric, 80 adults) who underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan of the paranasal sinus (PNS) were included in the study.

Artemisinin reduces acute ovarian ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Artemisinin (ARS) is well known as an effective agent in the treatment of malaria through the rapid elimination of Plasmodium falciparum parasites. This study aims to investigate the effect of ARS in treating adnexal torsion, one of the most common gynecological surgical emergencies. ARS was administered intraperitoneally once 30 min before unilateral ovarian torsion in two different doses (10 mg/kg vs.

The size, number and bilaterality of endometriomas do not affect spontaneous conception chance following surgical removal.

Objective: Endometrioma surgery is associated with a reduction in ovarian reserve. However, removal of an endometrioma may increase the likelihood of a spontaneous conception. The objective of this study was to assess the pre-operative and operative variables affecting spontaneous conception following endometrioma surgery.

Steroid-responsive encephalopathy in autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT) as a differential diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Introduction: Steroid-responsive encephalopathy in autoimmune thyroiditis (SREAT) is characterised by a wide range of neuropsychiatric symptoms and elevated thyroid antibodies. SREAT can mimic sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) and distinguishing between both entities is important because SREAT responds to corticosteroids.

Material And Methods: Data of patients reported to the National Reference Centre for the Surveillance of CJD in Göttingen, Germany between August 1994 and October 2008 was retrospectively reviewed.

Presence of Endometrioma Does Not Impair Embryo Quality and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Cycle Outcome in Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) Patients.

This study aims to assess the impact of endometrioma on embryo quality and cycle outcome in patients who undergo assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment due to diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). Retrospective case-control study was conducted in women ≤ 40 years of age who underwent ART treatment caused by DOR, defined according to POSEIDON criteria, at a university-based infertility clinic between January 2015 and December 2020. Three groups of patients were selected: group A included patients with an idiopathic DOR, group B included patients with endometrioma(s) who underwent ovarian cystectomy, and group C included patients with endometrioma(s) without surgical treatment.

Evaluation of Celiac Trunk, Hepatic Artery Variations, and Their Collateral Arteries by Multi-Slice Computed Tomography.

Objectives: Celiac Trunk (CT) is a vital artery and the first unmatched branch of the abdominal aorta, providing blood to upper abdominal structures, particularly the liver, stomach, and spleen. It is essential to know its anatomy in terms of pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, liver surgeries, and interventional radiological procedures such as chemoembolization. The aim of our study is to contribute to the literature with the measurements of distances between the diaphragmatic crus and vascular structures with their diameters, which have been studied insufficiently, and to detect the possible relationships between vascular variations and collateral branches.
