Occurrence and severity of myasthenic crisis in an unselected Turkish cohort of patients with myasthenia gravis.
Front Neurol
July 2023
Department of Neurology, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway.
Article Synopsis
- Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disorder that can lead to myasthenic crises, which cause significant muscle weakness, especially in bulbar and respiratory muscles.
- In a study of 95 patients over ten years, 13% experienced a myasthenic crisis, with factors like older age and thymoma increasing risk, while thymic hyperplasia seemed protective.
- The study also highlighted that timely immunosuppressive treatments and intensive care during crises contribute to positive outcomes, with no reported deaths in these patients.

The optimal surgical strategy for treating colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases is subject to debate. The current study sought to evaluate the outcomes of simultaneous colorectal cancer and liver metastases resection in a single center. Prospectively collected data on all patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases who underwent simultaneous resection with curative intent were analyzed retrospectively.

Article Synopsis
- Sepsis negatively affects capillary function and oxygen delivery, potentially worsening patient outcomes.
- Lower levels of immunoglobulin G2 do not contribute to severe flu complications, suggesting other factors may play a role in flu severity.
- New research indicates that intravenous immunoglobulin may provide brain protection during sepsis by blocking harmful immune responses such as complement activation and apoptosis. *

Department of General Surgery, Marmara University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.
Research on the prognostic value of lymph node ratio (LNR) in gastric cancer (GC) remains limited and controversial results were obtained. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether LNR was an independent prognostic factor for gastric carcinoma. A retrospective review of a database of gastric cancer patients was performed to determine the effect of the LNR on the overall survival (OS) and the disease-free survival (DFS).

April 2016
Department of General Surgery, Marmara University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background And Aims: Endoscopically unextractable common bile duct stones may be challenging for the endoscopist. In this study, we investigated the rate of stone removal after the endoscopic insertion of a biliary stent in patients with common bile duct stones unextractable via ERCP.
Methods: Records of patients with common bile duct stone/s who underwent ERCP at single center were retrospectively analyzed.
Endoscopic snare excision of adenoma of the papilla of Vater without prophylactic pancreatic-duct stent.
JOP
November 2014
Department of General Surgery, Marmara University Pendik Teaching and Research Hospital. Marmara, Turkey.
Context: The endoscopic excision of adenomas of the papilla of Vater has gained increased popularity in the recent years. Temporary pancreatic drainage has been advised to accompany snare papillectomy in order to prevent ductal obstruction and serious pancreatitis.
Objectives: We evaluated treatment outcome of patients who had undergone endoscopic papillectomy without pancreatic drainage.
