PCOS - the many faces of a disorder in women and men.

Purpose: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a very common endocrine, metabolic and reproductive disorder. The underlying pathophysiology is not yet fully understood and both genetic and environmental factors contribute to its development. We aimed to explore clinical and genetic aspects of familial clustering in PCOS, shedding light on its reproductive and metabolic consequences in both male and female first-degree relatives of the affected women.

Evaluation of Post-Transfer Clinical Status of Cystic Fibrosis Patients Transferred to Adult Chest Diseases Clinic.

Introduction: Proper transfer of patients from pediatric to adult chest clinic has critical importance. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the follow-up data of the patients in the first 12 months after transfer.

Methods: Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients previously transferred to adult chest clinics were included.

Evaluating reliability, quality, and readability of ChatGPT's nutritional recommendations for women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often have many questions about nutrition and turn to chatbots such as Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT) for advice. This study aims to evaluate the reliability, quality, and readability of ChatGPT's responses to nutrition-related questions asked by women with PCOS. Frequently asked nutrition-related questions from women with PCOS were reviewed in both Turkish and English.

Reliability and Validity Study of the Turkish Version of the Motivation and Attitude to Change Health (MATCH) Scale.

Objective: This study aims to culturally adapt the 'Motivation and Attitudes Towards Changing Health (MATCH)' scale into Turkish and assess its reliability and validity within the Turkish population.

Methods: The Turkish version of the MATCH questionnaire, designed to gauge patient motivation for initiating or sustaining behaviour changes, was created through translation and adaptation. A total of 305 patients diagnosed with chronic illnesses completed the questionnaire and scale to evaluate its validity and reliability.

Predictive value of hematologic parameters and HALP score for testicular viability in adults with testicular torsion: A multicentric study.

Objectives: To evaluate the predictivity of haematologic parameters and HALP score on testicular viability in adults with testicular torsion.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 139 men ≥18 years of age who underwent testicular detorsion with fixation (n = 90) or orchiectomy (n = 49) due to testicular torsion in five different tertiary centers between May 2019 and August 2023. Demographic, pre-, peri- and postoperative data were analyzed.

Comparative evaluation of ChatGPT-4, ChatGPT-3.5 and Google Gemini on PCOS assessment and management based on recommendations from the 2023 guideline.

Context: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly utilized in healthcare, with models like ChatGPT and Google Gemini gaining global popularity. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent condition that requires both lifestyle modifications and medical treatment, highlighting the critical need for effective patient education. This study compares the responses of ChatGPT-4, ChatGPT-3.

Polycystic ovary syndrome as a metabolic disease.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous familial disorder affecting up to one in five women. The aetiology remains unclear, but available evidence suggests it is a polygenic disorder with epigenetic, developmental, and environmental components. The diagnostic criteria for PCOS are based on reproductive features, and the syndrome is categorized into several phenotypes that can vary by race and ethnicity.

Turkish Society of Gastroenterology: Pancreas Working Group, Acute Pancreatitis Committee Consensus Report.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a clinical condition that arises acutely in the pancreas through various inflammatory pathways due to multiple causes. Turkish Society of Gastroenterology Pancreas Working Group developed comprehensive guidance statements regarding the management of AP that include its epidemiology, etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria, disease severity, treatment, prognosis, local and systemic complications. The statements were developed through literature review, deliberation, and consensus opinion.

Global change, climate change, and asthma in children: Direct and indirect effects - A WAO Pediatric Asthma Committee Report.

The twenty-first century has seen a fundamental shift in disease epidemiology with anthropogenic environmental change emerging as the likely dominant factor affecting the distribution and severity of current and future human disease. This is especially true of allergic diseases and asthma with their intimate relationship with the natural environment. Climate change-related variables including increased ambient temperature, heat waves, extreme weather events, air pollution, and rainfall distribution, all can affect asthma in children, but each of these variables also affects asthma via alterations in pollen production and release, outdoor allergen exposure or the microbiome.

The predictive role of PD-L1 expression and CD8 + TIL levels in determining the neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in advanced ovarian cancer.

Objective: To analyze how the PD-L1 expression and CD8 + tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) levels in biopsy samples before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) can predict chemotherapy response score and survival for advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 45 patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer between 2010 and 2018, who had received at least three cycles of NACT. PD-L1 expression and CD8 + TIL levels were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining in the pre-NAC tumor samples from which the patients had been diagnosed.

Robotic versus laparoscopic revision to Toupet fundoplication for failed Nissen fundoplication: a single-center experience.

Nissen fundoplication (NF) is a common surgical procedure to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease; however, a subset of patients may continue to experience symptoms or develop symptom recurrence despite a successful procedure. This study aims to compare laparoscopic and robotic approaches for treating failed NF and evaluate the outcomes after converting to Toupet fundoplication (TF). We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent robotic or laparoscopic revision to TF for failed NF between 2016 and 2023.

Infectious diseases ethics: a worldwide survey.

Objectives: COVID-19 unravelled new ethical issues in the neglected field of infectious diseases ethics (IDE). We investigated IDE involvement among infectious diseases professionals.

Methods: A global survey was disseminated during 2021-2022.
