Is it Possible to Distinguish Cervicogenic Headache from Neck Pain with Cervicospinal Posture? A Single-Blind, Prospective Cross-Sectional Trial.

Background: Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a type of headache that is considered to be originated from the upper cervical spine. There are conflicting results in studies showing changes in the cervical spine in patients with CEH.

Objectives: We aimed to compare the cervical radiographs of patients with CEH and nonspecific neck pain.

The Effect of Time Spent with a Dynamic Spacer on Clinical and Functional Outcomes in Two-Stage Revision Knee Arthroplasty.

Introduction: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a longer interval between the first and second stages of infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA) revision on the clinical and functional outcome.

Methods: This study included a total of 56 patients who underwent two-stage revision TKA with a dynamic spacer with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. Patients were categorized into two groups according to time with the spacer: < 3 months (Group 1, 31 patients) or > 3 months (Group 2, 25 patients).

The effect of lumbar facet joint injection levels on spinopelvic parameters and functional outcome.

Background: Low back pain is a very common musculoskeletal complaint that impacts patients' quality of life in numerous ways. Facet joint injection is a widely used spinal intervention to relieve back pain. Effects of facet joint injection on spinopelvic parameters and the relationship between injection levels and spinopelvic parameter changes have not been evaluated before.

Comparison between PeRcutanEous and surgical femoral aCcess for endovascuLar aOrtic repair in patientS with typE III aortic Dissection (PRECLOSE Trial).

Objectives: Aortic dissections are cardiovascular events with high mortality and morbidity rates. Management might be either with medical or interventional approach. Recently, thoracic endovascular intervention (TEVAR) becomes the first treatment of choice because of its better results and lower rates of complications in patients with type III aortic dissections.

The role of fine needle aspiration biopsy in deep lobe parotid tumors: Comparison of preoperative cytology and postoperative histopathologic results.

Purpose: Major salivary gland tumors constitute almost 3% of head and neck tumors. Tumors located exclusively in the deep lobe are not common and 20% of parotid gland tumors originate from deep lobe under the branches of the facial nerve. Accuracy of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) procedure in salivary gland tumors have been studied extensively, however there isn't any data regarding usefulness of FNAB in tumors located exclusively in deep lobe of parotid gland.

Factors associated with the development of early- to mid-term cuff-tear arthropathy following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Background: Few studies have specifically evaluated the development of cuff-tear arthropathy (CTA) after a rotator cuff repair in the postoperative early to mid-term. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the development of CTA, to evaluate the effect of arthropathy on functional outcomes, and to evaluate the incidence of CTA 3-10 years after an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Methods: A total of 312 patients who underwent an arthroscopic repair of a large or massive full-thickness rotator cuff tear with a minimum follow-up of 3 years were retrospectively divided into 2 groups for analysis: those with postrepair CTA (arthritic glenohumeral changes due to rotator cuff insufficiency) and those without.

The Relationship of GATA3 and Ki-67 With Histopathological Prognostic Parameters, Locoregional Recurrence and Disease-free Survival in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast.

Background: In recent years, GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3) has been indicated as a marker showing good prognosis in breast cancer. In luminal breast cancer, which has good a prognosis, it shows more significant elevation in small-sized and low-grade tumors. In contrast, Ki-67 is defined as a poor prognostic factor.

Reliability of RUST and Modified RUST Scores for the Evaluation of Union in Humeral Shaft Fractures Treated with Different Techniques.

Background: The study aimed to evaluate the agreement between the radiographic union scale (RUST) and modified RUST (mRUST) in humeral shaft fractures treated with different techniques, and the effect of surgeons' experience and thresholds for determining bone union.

Materials And Methods: A total of 20 orthopedic surgeons reviewed and scored radiographs of 30 patients with humeral shaft fractures treated by external fixation, intramedullary nailing, and plating using the RUST and mRUST on the 0 day, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks follow-up radiographs. Bone healing, interrater agreement between RUST and mRUST scores, and the threshold for radiographic union were evaluated.

Clinical features of the diabetes eating problem survey-revised Turkish version in children and adolescent with type 1 diabetes.

Objectives We aim to delineate clinical characteristics that place individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) at risk of developing eating problems by using Turkish version of diabetes eating problem survey-revised (DEPS-R). Methods The patients aged 9-18 years with T1DM who came to the pediatric endocrine outpatient clinic for control between February and December 2019 completed Turkish version of DEPS-R. Clinical and laboratory findings were obtained from patient files.

Caregiver burden in stroke inpatients: a randomized study comparing robot-assisted gait training and conventional therapy.

The effects of caregiver burden during the inpatient rehabilitation period have not yet been investigated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the burden on stroke survivors' caregivers during the inpatient rehabilitation period, and to compare the associations of robot-assisted gait training and conventional therapy with caregiver burden. Our randomized, crossover, prospective study included 63 stroke survivors and their caregivers, who were randomly assigned to one of two groups.

Auditory and Olfactory Deficits in Essential Tremor - Review of the Current Evidence.

Background: Essential tremor (ET) is the most common adult movement disorder, characterized by several motor and increasingly well recognized non-motor symptoms. Sensory deficits, such as hearing impairment and olfactory dysfunction, are amongst them. This review analyzes the available evidence of these sensory deficits and their possible mechanistic basis in patients with ET.

COVID-19 Pulmonary Infection with Pneumothorax in a Young Patient.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, has spread all over the world in a short time and was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). During COVID-19 pandemic, chest computed tomography (CT) imaging has become an important tool with high sensitivity for diagnosis due to the low positive rate of the real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Furthermore, the chest CT has played an important role in the diagnosis of underlying pulmonary lesions.

Evaluation of the Rational Analgesic use in elderly adults: A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: To assess inappropriate analgesic use (IAU) by comparison of STOPP/START Version-2 and Beers 2019 criteria.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 331 elderly patients admitted to family medicine clinics at a tertiary hospital between February and July 2018. Data were collected from face-to-face surveys, including informed patient consent and electronic drug monitoring databases.

Computed Tomography Findings Predicting the Need for Surgery in Cases of Small Bowel Obstruction: Emphasis on Duodenal Distension.

Objective: The aim of the study is to retrospectively evaluate the utility of computed tomography (CT) findings, especially newly defined duodenal distension, for predicting the need to operate on small bowel obstruction (SBO) cases.

Methods: During a 51-month period, 228 patients (100 women and 128 men; mean age, 55 years) were included in this study, among 438 patients who were hospitalized with a prediagnosis of SBO. The final study population was then divided into 2 groups: a surgery group (n = 76) and a conservative group (n = 152).

COVID-19 and animals: What do we know?

Coronaviruses, which were generally considered harmless to humans before 2003, have appeared again with a pandemic threatening the world since December 2019 after the epidemics of SARS and MERS. It is known that transmission from person to person is the most important way to spread. However, due to the widespread host diversity, a detailed examination of the role of animals in this pandemic is essential to effectively fight against the outbreak.
