Evaluation of Foot Deformities in Patients With Ingrown Nails.

Introduction: Ingrown nail is a condition caused by the perforation of the periungual soft tissues on nail folds by the sides of nail plaque, causing inflammation and severe pain. Recently, the role of foot anatomical disorders in ingrown nail development has been emphasized.

Objectives: The main objective of this study aimed to determine whether foot deformities played significant roles in ingrown nail development with objective radiological parameters.

A Single Tertiary Center 14-year Experience With Mesenteric Panniculitis in Turkey: A Retrospective Study of 716 Patients.

Background: Mesenteric panniculitis is a chronic inflammatory process seen in mesenteric tissue. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence, clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings, and malignancy in patients diagnosed with mesenteric panniculitis using computed tomography.

Methods: A total of 716 patients with mesenteric panniculitis were retrospectively evaluated by screening all computed tomography scans performed between January 2005 and December 2018.

Echocardiographic assessment of pulmonary arterial stiffness in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the complications of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Despite the emergence of effective therapies, pulmonary arterial hypertension is commonly seen, especially at advanced stages. At the time of diagnosis, a majority of patients are at New York Heart Association-Functional Class III or IV.

Evaluation of Left Atrial Electromechanical Delay and Left Atrial Phasic Functions in Surgical Early Menopause Patients.

Background: This study evaluated the atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) and the left atrial (LA) mechanical functions in patients with surgical early menopause.

Methods: A total of 62 patients were included in the study: 33 patients with surgical early menopause and 29 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The duration distance from the start of the P wave to the beginning of the A wave for the lateral mitral annulus, septal mitral annulus, and lateral tricuspid annulus was assessed by tissue Doppler echocardiography.

The recovery time of sevoflurane and desflurane and the effects of anesthesia on mental and psychomotor functions and pain.

Background: Inhalation anesthetics have many advantages for outpatient general anesthesia, such as minimal postoperative side-effects and rapid and full recovery. The aim of this randomized study was to compare the postoperative recovery time of sevoflurane and desflurane and to observe the effects of anesthesia on mental, psychomotor and cognitive functions and pain in outpatients undergoing arthroscopic surgery.

Patients And Methods: This study included 40 American Society of Anesthesiologists I-II patients who were divided into two groups via sealed envelopes.

The Effects of Total Abdominal Hysterectomy on Ovarian Function - Serial Changes in Serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone, FSH and Estradiol Levels.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate ovarian function with longitudinal changes in serum levels of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E2) after total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) with ovarian conservation.

Material And Methods: In this prospective longitudinal study, a total of 29 women, aged 39 to 48 years, suffering from uterine pathologies underwent TAH with ovarian conservation. Their serum AMH, FSH and E2 levels were measured at baseline, at the first month and the third month after TAH.
