Correlations between the blink reflex and magnetic resonance imaging in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia is a disease characterized by severe facial pain that significantly reduces patients quality of life. Trigeminal neuralgia is subcategorized as idiopathic, classic or secondary. Magnetic resonance imaging is the basis for classification, but neurophysiological tests are also used.

De-Escalation of Nodal Surgery in Clinically Node-Positive Breast Cancer.

Importance: Increasing evidence supports the oncologic safety of de-escalating axillary surgery for patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Objective: To evaluate the oncologic outcomes of de-escalating axillary surgery among patients with clinically node (cN)-positive breast cancer and patients whose disease became cN negative after NAC (ycN negative).

Design, Setting, And Participants: In the NEOSENTITURK MF-1803 prospective cohort registry trial, patients from 37 centers with cT1-4N1-3M0 disease treated with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or targeted axillary dissection (TAD) alone or with ypN-negative or ypN-positive disease after NAC were recruited between February 15, 2019, and January 1, 2023, and evaluated.

Evaluation of family medicine residents' reflection skills.

Background: While reflection skills have been extensively studied in undergraduate medical education, research on the reflection skills of residents remains limited in the Turkish literature. Therefore, a two-phase study was conducted. In the first phase, a methodological study adapted the Groningen Reflection Ability Scale (GRAS) for residents.

Can the generalizability issue of artificial intelligence be overcome? Pneumothorax detection algorithm.

The generalizability of artificial intelligence (AI) models is a major issue in the field of AI applications. Therefore, we aimed to overcome the generalizability problem of an AI model developed for a particular center for pneumothorax detection using a small dataset for external validation. Chest radiographs of patients diagnosed with pneumothorax (n = 648) and those without pneumothorax (n = 650) who visited the Ankara University Faculty of Medicine (AUFM; center 1) were obtained.

Comparison of the effectiveness of partial body weight-supported treadmill exercises, robotic-assisted treadmill exercises, and anti-gravity treadmill exercises in spastic cerebral palsy.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the partial body weight-supported treadmill exercise (PBWSTE), robotic-assisted treadmill exercise (RATE), and anti-gravity treadmill exercise (ATE) in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP).

Patients And Methods: Between December 01, 2015 and May 01, 2016, a total of 29 children (18 males, 11 females; mean age 9.3±2.
