Efficacy of autologous stem cell therapy in femoral head avascular necrosis: a comparative study.

Objective: Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a disease usually seen in middle-aged individuals. Although many aetiological factors have been blamed, there are still aetiological factors that have not been fully elucidated. Although treatment options show a wide range, early and appropriate treatment is of great importance to preserve the hip joint.

Effect of Glenohumeral Joint Bone Morphology on Anterior Shoulder Instability: A Case-Control Study.

Methods: In our study, people with a history of shoulder dislocation were selected as the patient group.

Lumbosacral fusion increases the risk of hip osteoarthritis.

Objective: There may be biomechanical changes in the adjacent hip joint after lumbosacral fusion. The literature has limited information on how these biomechanical changes may result in hip joint space.

Material: METHOD: Our retrospective study examined hip joint space narrowing in patients who underwent lumbosacral fusion between 2020 and 2022.

Comparison of the Clinical Results of Platelet-Rich Plasma, Steroid and Autologous Blood Injections in the Treatment of Chronic Lateral Epicondylitis.

Background: The aim of our study is to compare the efficacy of PRP, steroids, and autologous blood injection in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis.

Method: A total of 120 patients comprised our study. Three groups of 40 patients each received only one of the following: PRP, steroids, or autologous blood injections.

How high is the quality of the videos about children's elbow fractures on Youtube?

Objective: Pediatric elbow fractures are children's most common fractures. People use the internet to get information about their illnesses and also to search for treatment options. Videos uploaded to Youtube do not go through the review process.

Penetrance of Gastric Adenocarcinoma Susceptibility Genes: A Systematic Review.

Background: Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) is the fifth most common cancer in the world, and the presence of germline pathogenic variants has been linked with approximately 5% of gastric cancer diagnoses. Multiple GAC susceptibility genes have been identified, but information regarding the risk associated with pathogenic variants in these genes remains obscure. We conducted a systematic review of existing studies reporting the penetrance of GAC susceptibility genes.

Sectoral Ciliary Body Agenesis Complicated with Cataract Formation Diagnosed by Ultrasound Biomicroscopy.

We aimed to present a novel case of sectoral ciliary body agenesis and complicated cataract as an embryogenic defect of eye development diagnosed by ultrasound biomicroscopy. A 20-year-old male patient presented with a complaint of visual impairment in his left eye since childhood. Slit-lamp examination of the left eye revealed pigment precipitation and focal lens opacities extending from the temporal quadrant through the posterior lens capsule, blocking the central optical axis.

Evaluation and follow-up of cognitive functions in patients with minor stroke and transient ischemic attack.

Background And Purpose: We aimed to examine the incidence of cognitive impairment among patients with stroke, the associated risk factors, progression of the cognitive impairment, and the association between the localization of the lesion(s) as detected by magnetic resonance imaging and the affected areas of cognitive function.

Methods: A total of 40 patients over 18 years of age enduring a transient ischemic stroke or minor stroke within the past 3 months who had a minimum life expectancy of 1 year were included in this study. Same number, age-, and sex-matched individuals were included as controls.

Retinol-binding protein 4, as a negative acute-phase reactant in polycystic ovary syndrome.

Aim: The aim of our study was to compare serum levels of RBP4 in women with PCOS to the control group and to understand the relationship among RBP4 and biochemical and hormonal parameters related to disease process, especially gonadal steroids and markers of inflammation.

Methods: Twenty-eight women with PCOS (18 normal weight and 10 obese) and 27 normally menstruating healthy women (20 normal weight and 7 obese) were included.

Results: Women with PCOS had higher RBP4 concentrations.

The utility of transrectal ultrasound in adolescents when transabdominal or transvaginal ultrasound is not feasible.

Study Objective: To present the indications and diagnosis in adolescents undergoing transrectal ultrasound (RU).

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Participants: Adolescents presenting to gynecology clinic between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2012.

Retinol-binding protein 4 is elevated and is associated with free testosterone and TSH in postmenopausal women.

The aim of this study was to understand the relationship of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) with hormonal and biochemical parameters in pre- and postmenopausal women. We included 69 postmenopausal women and 27 regularly menstruating premenopausal women. Postmenopausal women had statistically significantly higher RBP4 levels when compared to premenopausal women.

Can quadruple test parameters predict SGA infants?

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of quadruple test parameters in predicting the risk of delivering a small for gestational age (SGA) infant. The quadruple test results of patients performed at 16-18 weeks of pregnancy were searched retrospectively. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels higher than 2 MoM were associated with a risk of delivering an SGA infant (p = 0.
