Artificial Intelligence in Diagnostic Breast Ultrasound: A Comparative Analysis of Decision Support Among Radiologists With Various Levels of Expertise.

Objective: To investigate integrating an artificial intelligence (AI) system into diagnostic breast ultrasound (US) for improved performance.

Materials And Methods: Seventy suspicious breast mass lesions (53 malignant and 17 benign) from seventy women who underwent diagnostic breast US complemented with shear wave elastography, US-guided core needle biopsy and verified histopathology were enrolled. Two radiologists, one with 15 years of experience and the other with one year of experience, evaluated the images for breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS) scoring.

Psychometric Properties of a Turkish Version of The Psychosocial Needs Inventory; Sampling from Oncology Patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Psychosocial Needs Inventory (PNI) among Turkish oncology patients.

Methods: A methodological study was conducted with 1,547 oncology patients. This validation study was divided into two phases.

The Relationship of Pathological Response and Visceral Muscle and Fat Volume in Women With Breast Cancer Who Received Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy.

Objective: Differences in individual muscle/fat volumes may change the effectiveness of chemotherapy. In this study, the relationship between trunkal muscle and fat volume and body mass index (BMI) obtained before receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) in patients with breast cancer and complete pathological response (pCR) was investigated.

Materials And Methods: The volumes of psoas, abdominal and paraspinal muscles, and trunkal subcutaneous and visceral fat were calculated using CoreSlicer AI 2.

Assessment High-Risk Breast Cancer in Older Patients: A Comparative Analysis of PREDICT Scores and TAILORx Risk Categorization.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between PREDICT tool overall survival (OS) scores and high-risk patients according to TAILORx risk categorization in elderly hormone reseptor (HR) positive human epidermal growth factor negative early breast-cancer patients.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study, extracting data from medical records of 64 patients diagnosed with breast cancer. A retrospective analysis was performed on all patients who had Oncotype Dx Recurrence Scores across five medical centers between 2017 and 2022.

Correlation Between Daily PM10, Nitrogen Dioxide, and Ozone Measurements with the Stringency Index in 15 Different Districts of a Big Metropolis.

Objective: Studies have investigated the effects of lockdowns on air quality around the world and found that fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide concentrations decreased due to reduced human activity, while ozone concentrations increased. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between daily stringency index values of our country and daily PM10, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone measurements in different districts of Istanbul between March 1, 2020, and February 28, 2022.

Material And Methods: Ministry of Environment and Urbanization and National Air Quality Monitoring Network data on Istanbul air quality monitoring stations were used.

Turkish Thoracic Society's Statement Report on Electronic Cigarettes and Heated Tobacco Products.

Tobacco addiction, which causes the death of more than 8.5 million people in the world every year, is a preventable global public health problem. There are 1.

Translation, validity, and reliability of NUTRISCORE: The nutrition risk assessment screening test for Turkish cancer patients.

Purpose: The aim was to determine the validity and the reliability of the Turkish version of the screening test named NUTRISCORE in cancer patients.

Methods: The language validity of the Turkish form of the study scale was provided by the translationback-translation method. NUTRISCORE and nutritional risk screening (NRS)-2002, malnutrition screening tool (MST), and European Diagnostic Criteria (EDC) were administered to 240 volunteers in oncology clinics, and receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were calculated for the validity and reliability analysis.

Psychometric Features of the Turkish Version of the Cancer Rehabilitation Evaluation System-Short Form for Patients With Cancer.

: The Cancer Rehabilitation Evaluation System-Short Form (CARES-SF) is one of the first self-report measurement tools that addresses problems and rehabilitation needs of patients with cancer. This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the CARES-SF for Turkish-speaking patients with cancer. : The Turkish version of the CARES-SF was administered to 300 patients with colorectal, lung, or breast cancer.

Effectiveness of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Patients With Failed Back Surgery Syndrome: A Double-Blind Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study.

Background: Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) is the term of persistent back and/or leg pain after lumbar surgery. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (r-TMS) is a technique that allows noninvasive and relatively painless stimulation of cerebral cortex. It can reduce the experience of chronic pain by producing the small electrical currents in the cortex via magnetic field.

Effect of a compassion fatigue resiliency program on nurses' professional quality of life, perceived stress, resilience: A randomized controlled trial.

Aims: This study aimed to conduct a short- and long-term Compassion Fatigue Resiliency Program and compare its impact on nurses' professional quality of life, perceived stress, and resilience.

Design: The research was conducted between January 2017 January 2019 as a randomized controlled trial.

Methods: The sample comprised 125 oncology-haematology nurses randomly assigned to a Experimental I, Experimental II, or control group.

Pre-Treatment and Post-Treatment Anxiety, Depression, Sleep and Sexual Function Levels in Patients with Breast Cancer.

Objective: In the phase of diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer cases, patients can usually experience sexual dysfunctions, sleep disorders and psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression. The main objective of our research is to study of the pre-treatment and post-treatment anxiety, depression, sleep and sexual function levels in the patients with breast cancer.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-six patients with breast cancer and 52 healthy women have participated in our study.

Is there a relationship between blood lipids and lumbar disc herniation in young Turkish adults?

Introduction: Atherosclerosis might diminish the nutrient supply to intervertebral discs (IVD), leading to disc herniation. Therefore, there is interest in determining the possible association between the blood lipid profile and lumbar disc herniation (LDH). We aimed to evaluate the association between blood lipids and LDH in a homogeneous group of patients, controlling for age- and sex-specific effects.
