Objective: Intranasal analgesic sprays represent a safe, efficacious method for pain relief, with a shorter working time compared to oral painkillers. This study aimed to develop nasal sprays using commonly available over-the-counter analgesics, providing an alternative treatment option that is more convenient and potentially more effective in managing pain, particularly in pediatric patients.

Methods: Three different nasal spray formulations with the contents of diclofenac sodium, ibuprofen, and paracetamol were created, and characterization studies were completed.

Introduction: KEYNOTE-361 evaluated first-line pembrolizumab with and without platinum-based chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. The primary end points of progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) were not met. Exploratory analysis of efficacy by platinum agent (cisplatin or carboplatin) is reported.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compared the effects of Combined Training (CombT), which includes Robot-Assisted Gait Training and Traditional Balance Training (TBT), against TBT alone on improving balance and reducing fear of falling (FoF) in stroke patients.
  • Patients were divided into two groups, with each group undergoing treatment for 5 weeks, and their balance and FoF were measured using several assessments, including the Berg Balance Scale and Timed Up and Go Test.
  • Results showed CombT significantly improved balance and reduced FoF better than TBT alone, although TBT had its own notable improvements in limb impairment assessment.

Purpose: To evaluate the foveal development in patients diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and to evaluate whether foveal development was affected by treatment in ROP patients.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included patients with a history of ROP. Foveal development was compared between eyes with spontaneous regression and treated eyes.

Surgical approach to pulmonary metastases and its impact on prognosis.

Adv Clin Exp Med

December 2024

Department of General Surgery, Istanbul Training and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Istanbul, Turkey.

Background: Pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) is an important procedure for the treatment of metastatic nodules in the lung. The choice of surgical approach, whether thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), remains controversial in terms of the impact on patient prognosis.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes and impact on survival of patients undergoing PM with VATS compared to thoracotomy.

Enhanced supercapacitor performance with CZTS-based carbon nanocomposites electrodes: An electrochemical study.

J Colloid Interface Sci

November 2024

Department of Chemical Engineering, Bogazici University, TR-34342, Istanbul, Turkey; TUBITAK Marmara Research Center, Material Institute, Gebze 41470, Turkey. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • - The research highlights the urgent demand for effective energy storage solutions, leading to the development of a new composite material, CuZnSnS (CZTS) integrated with functionalized Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes (f-MWCNT) using a hydrothermal method.
  • - Three nanocomposite variants (CZTS (10), CZTS (20), CZTS (40)) were produced with different percentages of f-MWCNT, and the CZTS (20) sample showed the best electrochemical performance with a specific capacitance of 171F/g.
  • - The study reveals that the CZTS/f-MWCNT nanocomposite retains 99% of its capacity after 3000 cycles, indicating its strong potential for enhancing

Article Synopsis
  • Fatigue, depression, and sleep issues are common symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and significantly affect their quality of life, which was the focus of this study.
  • The study included 178 PwMS and used various scales to assess fatigue, sleep quality, depression, and overall quality of life, analyzing the relationships between these factors.
  • Results indicated that higher depression scores led to poorer sleep quality and greater fatigue, both of which negatively impacted physical and mental health aspects of quality of life in PwMS.

Article Synopsis
  • * The complexes were analyzed and characterized through various techniques, including single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing a distorted square planar geometry with specific ligand interactions.
  • * Cytotoxicity tests showed that the chloro-complex exhibited greater effectiveness against a leukemia cell line compared to the chemotherapy drug cisplatin, while being less toxic to healthy cells.

Ruxolitinib treatment ameliorates clinical, immunologic, and transcriptomic aberrations in patients with STAT3 gain-of-function disease.

J Allergy Clin Immunol

December 2024

Division of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey; Istanbul Jeffrey Modell Diagnostic and Research Center for Primary Immunodeficiencies, Istanbul, Turkey; Isil Berat Barlan Center for Translational Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • STAT3 gain-of-function disease causes issues like immune system overactivity and growth problems, but long-term treatment with the JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib has shown promise in symptom relief.
  • The study monitored clinical and immune responses of four patients over a year, noting significant changes in T cell populations and the normalization of blood cell profiles, which were previously dysregulated.
  • Ruxolitinib treatment not only managed symptoms but also modified harmful immune cell characteristics and reduced certain auto-reactive T-cell clones, suggesting a potential pathway to better control the disease's impact.

Article Synopsis
  • Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder that leads to bone marrow failure, causing low blood cell counts and increased cancer risk, along with various physical abnormalities.
  • A study identified a specific genetic mutation, a large deletion in the FANCA gene, as a common cause among eight individuals from six unrelated Turkish families, highlighting the importance of genetic research in understanding the disease.
  • The researchers developed a simple PCR test for this mutation, facilitating accurate diagnosis and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families, especially in the Turkish population.

Surgical treatment of thymic epithelial tumor and myasthenia gravis.

Front Surg

November 2024

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty, Istanbul, Türkiye.

Article Synopsis
  • * Thymomas grow slowly and are localized, while thymic carcinomas grow quickly and can spread, with respective 5-year survival rates of 78% and 30%.
  • * Treatment depends on tumor resectability, starting with surgery for early-stage cases, followed by chemotherapy for more advanced stages, while conditions like myasthenia gravis are associated with these tumors and can be treated through various methods, including extended thymectomy.
