Evaluation of demographic and neuro-ophthalmologic findings of patients with multiple sclerosis.

Purpose: The study aims to investigate the demographic and neuroophthalmologic features of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods: This retrospective study investigated 270 eyes of 135 patients with MS. All subjects underwent a full ophthalmological examination.

Assessment of the choroidal thickness, central macular vascular and optic disk perfusion in migraine patients with optical coherence tomography angiography.

Background: Comparing the central choroidal thickness (CCT) and the perfusion of the macula and optic disk in patients with migraine and control group participants using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Methods: A total of 38 patients diagnosed with migraine and 32 healthy controls were recruited. OCTA scans were performed on all participants.

Papillary Tumor of the Pineal Region with Parinaud Syndrome: A Case Report.

Backround: Less than 1% of all intracranial tumors are in the pineal region. Papillary tumor of the pineal region is considered one of four pineal parenchymal tumors according to the 2007 World Health Organisation classification of central nervous system tumors. It is mostly seen in the middle age and it is rare under the age of 17 in the literature.

Comparison of miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy and retrograde intrarenal surgery: Which is more effective for 10-20 mm renal stones in children?

Objective: To compare miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in children with 10-20 mm renal stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 2015 and 2019, 63 pediatric patients aged under 16 years who under went mini-PNL and RIRS for the treatment of kidney stones sized 10-20 mm were analyzed retrospectively. The mini-PNL group (n=30) was defined as group 1 and the RIRS group (n=33) was defined as group 2.

Assessment of inner retina layers thickness values in eyes with pituitary tumours before visual field defects occur.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate macula, retinal nerve layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL) and macular nerve fibre layer (mNFL) thickness in patients with pituitary tumours who has normal visual field (VF).

Methods: Thirty-five eyes of 35 patients with pituitary tumours with normal VF and 41 eyes of 41-healthy subjects were underwent a complete ophthalmic examination. The spectral domain- optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to measure macular and optic disc parameters.

Sleep bruxism is related to decreased inhibitory control of trigeminal motoneurons, but not with reticulobulbar system.

Sleep bruxism (SB) is a stereotyped movement disorder characterized by grinding or clenching of the teeth during sleep. We aimed to understand the abnormal networks related to the excitability of masticatory pathways in patients with SB. Eleven patients with SB and age- and gender-matched 20 healthy subjects were prospectively enrolled in our study.

Evaluation of risk factors for the recurrence of ovarian endometriomas.

Objectives: To evaluate the risk factors for the recurrence of ovarian endometrioma after laparoscopic cystectomy.

Study Design: Reproductive aged patients who underwent laparoscopic ovarian endometriotic cystectomy and with histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of ovarian endometrioma were evaluated retrospectively. Histopathologic specimens were reevaluated and histopathologic characteristics of ovarian endometriotic cysts (thickness of cyst wall, thickness of fibrosis [ToF], thickness of ovarian tissue, the number of follicles per cyst, the depth of penetration [DoP] of endometrial tissue into the cyst wall) were determined.

Validation of the Fecal Incontinence Severity Index in a Turkish Population.

Aim: The aim of this study was to validate the Turkish-translated version of the Fecal Incontinence Severity Index (FISI) for Turkish-speaking patients.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included 58 patients: 22 (37.9%) scored 0 (no incontinence), and the remaining 36 (62.

Effectiveness of local anesthetic on postoperative pain in different levels of laparoscopic gynecological surgery.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of preemptive and preclosure analgesia on postoperative pain intensity in patients undergoing different levels of laparoscopic surgery.

Methods: Two hundred and twenty-six patients who underwent laparoscopic gynecological surgery were enrolled in this quasi-randomized, prospective, placebo controlled study. The operations were classified as level 1 or level 2 according to the extent of the surgery.

Translation and validation of the Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-5) in patients with laparoscopically diagnosed endometriosis.

Objectives: To validate the Turkish-translated versions of the Endometriosis Health Profile 5 (EHP-5) for use in patients with laparoscopically proven endometriosis.

Study Design: This case control study was conducted in a tertiary referral teaching institution between April and June 2014. Fifty-eight patients with surgically proven endometriosis were enrolled.

Objective: To evaluate vitamin D as a predictor of glycaemic regulation in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Research Design And Methods: In observational study 171 type 2 diabetic patients who are followed for median (range) of 10.15 (3-18) years.
