The Effects of Cervical Mobilization with Clinical Pilates Exercises on Pain, Muscle Stiffness and Head and Neck Blood Flow in Cervicogenic Headache: Randomized Controlled Trial.

: Physiotherapy approaches are used to eliminate the problems caused by cervicogenic headache (CHA), known as secondary headache associated with the structures of the upper cervical region. This study aimed to investigate the effects of cervical mobilization (CM) with clinical Pilates exercises (CPE) on pain, muscle stiffness and head-neck blood flow in CGH. : A total of 25 patients participated in this randomized controlled study and were randomized into either the CM group or the CM+CPE group.

Relationship Between Recurrent Pregnancy Loss With Unknown Etiology and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress.

Introduction: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is characterized by consecutive pregnancy losses before 20 weeks of gestation, with evolving definitions necessitating adjustments to prevent delays in couples' evaluation. Limited etiological data on RPL prompts comprehensive evaluations, often yielding no pathological findings. Emerging research implicates endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in various reproductive processes, yet its association with RPL remains understudied.

Comparison of carotid and vertebral artery doppler measurements in supine and sitting positions.

Background: Carotid and vertebral Doppler ultrasonography (USG) is the primary diagnostic tool for the detection of extra cranial atherosclerotic disease and measurement of posterior fossa blood flow volume. The examination is performed while the patient lies on supine position. However, in daily practice we occasionally encounter patients who are not able to lie down on supine position for different reasons, such as kyphosis, severe dyspnea, or severe back pain.

Tegmento-vermian dysplasia: radiologic features of a novel described anatomic variation.

Here we present the incidental radiological findings of a case that has a huge pontine tegmental cap orienting posteriorly towards the fourth ventricle and continues with the inferior vermis, accompanied by a midline anterior midbrain cleft. Having knowledge about this variation will prevent a misdiagnosis of a posterior fossa tumor and eventual unnecessary biopsy or operation.

The Reasons of Renal Transplant Recipients' Admission to the Emergency Department; a Case Series Study.

Introduction: Renal transplantation are admitted to emergency department (ED) more than normal population. The present brief report aimed to determine the reasons of renal transplant patients' ED visits.

Methods: This retrospective case series study analyzed the reasons of renal transplant recipients' admission to one ED between 2011 and 2014.

An unusual course of aortic arch through an accessory fissure of left upper lobe of the lung: extramediastinal aortic arch.

In this case report, we present an unexpected, extramediastinal course of aortic arch through an accessory fissure of left upper lobe of the lung in a 19-year-old healthy man.

Increase in Body Mass Index After Renal Transplantation.

The aim of this study was to determine the changes in body mass index (BMI) of patients after renal transplantation regarding causes like steroid use, lower necessity for dietary restrictions, and changes in eating habits. Ninety-seven patients were enrolled in this retrospective study; they had undergone cadaver or living donor renal transplantation between 2011 and 2013. Demographic features of patients, height, weight, and BMI were evaluated before and 6 and 12 months after surgery.

Esophagus perforation and myocardial penetration caused by swallowing of a foreign body leading to a misdiagnosis of acute coronary syndrome: a case report.

Introduction: Here we present our clinical experience in a case of esophagus perforation due to the swallowing of a bone piece causing acute angina pectoris and leading to misdiagnosis of acute coronary syndrome.

Case Presentation: A 73-year-old Caucasian man underwent urgent coronary angiography with possible diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. His coronary arteries were found to be normal.

Minimally invasive mini open split-muscular percutaneous pedicle screw fixation of the thoracolumbar spine.

We prospectively assessed the feasibility and safety of a new percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) fixation technique for instrumentation of the thoracic and lumbar spine in this study. All patients were operated in the prone position under general anesthesia. A 6 to 8 cm midline skin incision was made and wide subcutaneous dissection was performed.
