A Single Center Experience of Special Cases: Isolated Adrenal Myelolipoma and Adrenocortical Adenoma with Myelolipomatous Component.

Objective: Isolated adrenal myelolipoma (IAM) is an uncommon, nonfunctioning tumour of the adrenal gland, primarily composed of adipose tissue and hematopoietic trilinear cells. The etiopathogenesis and clinical relevance of this neoplasm remain poorly understood. However, similar myelolipomatous alterations can also occur within adrenocortical adenomas.

Retrospective analysis of hemophilia B in Turkey: identifying main characteristics and treatment options.

Background: Hemophilia B (HB), an X-linked recessive inherited bleeding disorder, exhibits a high prevalence among males.

Objectives: To present the first national cohort of persons with HB to define the demographics, clinical characteristics, and treatment patterns in Turkey.

Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study included 433 alive persons with HB registered in 35 centers between 1961 and 2018.

Adaptation of the Problem Areas in Diabetes-Teen Scale into Turkish and examination of its psychometric properties: a validity and reliability study.

Objective: Management of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is quite challenging for both adolescents and their families. In this study, we aimed to translate the 14-item Problem Areas in Diabetes-Teen (PAID-T) scale, which measures variables that influence diabetes distress, to Turkish and investigate the Turkish version's reliability and validity.

Methods: One hundred and ninety-four adolescents with T1DM participated in the study.

Expanding the Genetic and Phenotypic Spectrum of Mowat-Wilson Syndrome: A Study of 10 Turkish Patients With an Intrafamilial Recurrence Caused by First Intragenic Large Deletion.

Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a complex disorder caused by heterozygous ZEB2 gene variations creating haploinsufficiency. The main clinical features are evolving facial dysmorphism, intellectual disability, eye and brain malformations, and various organ anomalies. Our study examines 10 Turkish patients, who had clinical diagnosis, underwent evaluation, clinical investigations, and genetic tests in multiple tertiary centers across Türkiye, and were molecularly diagnosed with MWS.

Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache.

Objective: Chronic migraine (CM) patients with medication overuse headache (MOH) were recently shown to be associated with leaky gut and inflammation. We aimed to investigate gut microbiota profiles of CM patients with MOH, and their correlations with inflammatory serum parameters, migraine food triggers, and comorbid anxiety and depression.

Materials And Methods: The study included women participants (32 CM patients with NSAID overuse headache, and 16 healthy non-headache sufferers).

Can serum granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and CCL17 levels be a marker of disease activation in spondyloarthritis?

Objectives: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate if serum levels of granulocytemacrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and CC chemokine ligand 17 (CCL17) correlate with disease activity in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and peripheral spondyloarthritis (pSpA) patients.

Patients And Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 80 individuals (48 females, 32 males; mean age: 47.7±11.

Multimodality Imaging in Cardiomyopathies.

Cardiomyopathy, which is shortly defined as a disease of the myocardium, has a broad definition that includes many different diagnoses. Recent advances in cardiac imaging techniques, including basic and advanced echocardiography, computed tomography, nuclear medicine, and cardiac magnetic resonance, allow for a more accurate evaluation of volumes and thickness of cardiac chambers, systolic and diastolic function of the ventricules, and tissue structure. Multimodality imaging often provides the first clinical suspicion for specific etiologies, especially when the medical and family history is unclear, by identification of red flags of underlying systemic diseases.

Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis Associated With Ubiquitin-Specific Peptidase 53 Gene Variant Presented with Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure in Turkish Siblings.

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis represents a group of disorders characterized by defective bile excretion, which causes a multitude of clinical symptoms of variable severity and usually begins in childhood. During the past few decades, a number of gene sequence variants have been shown to be associated with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, and new subtypes continue to be discovered. Sequence variants of the ubiquitinspecific peptidase 53 gene have previously been associated with a novel autosomal recessive form of cholestasis with coincident normal or low γ-glutamyl transferase, with mild phenotypes.

Variable sensitivity of clinical Candida auris strains to Biocides: implications for infection control in Healthcare Settings.

Purpose: Candida auris, a multidrug-resistant yeast, poses significant challenges in healthcare settings due to its ability to form biofilms and resistance to common disinfectants. Understanding its susceptibility to biocides used in hospital disinfection practices is crucial for infection control. We investigated the biocide sensitivity of eight clinical C.

Stigma assessment scale for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: A new tool for spine deformity stigma evaluation.

Purpose: Stigma is the negative attitudes towards an illness or difference. The literature lacks detailed scales specifically addressing stigmatization in AIS. This study aimed to develop Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Stigma Assessment Scale (AIS-SAS) to measure stigmatization in AIS patients.

Clinical Course of Coronavirus disease 2019 C-19 in Patients with Bronchiectasis.

Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected the whole world and caused the death of more than 6 million people. The disease has been observed to have a more severe course in patients with chronic lung diseases. There are limited data regarding COVID-19 in patients with bronchiectasis.

Comparison of Conventional and Virtual Non-contrast Abdominal Images Using the Third-Generation Dual-Source Dual-Energy Computed Tomography.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy and safety of virtual unenhanced imaging by comparing the attenuation values of virtual and true unenhanced images acquired using third-generation dual-source dual-energy computed tomography (dsDECT).

Methods: Single-energy non-contrast and dual-energy arterial and venous phase images of 97 patients who underwent triphasic abdominal computed tomography (CT) were included in this retrospective study. Virtual unenhanced images were generated for the arterial (a) and venous (v) phases using two dsDECT algorithms.
