Scientometric Evaluation of the Itch Mite, (Acari: Sarcoptidae): The Last Four Decades of Global Academic Output on Scabies.

Objective: Scabiosis, the infestation of the skin with , is a neglected tropical disease, with at least 200 million people being infested with the parasite at any time. It is estimated that scabies is responsible for 0.07% of the total burden of disease worldwide.

[Outbreaks Due to Parasites: Examples from the World and Türkiye].

Outbreaks due to parasites can occur in various parts of the world and in different periods. These outbreaks can be caused by water and food, as well as by human-to-human or vector-borne transmission. Cryptosporidium spp.

Parenteral Methotrexate Is Efficient in the Treatment of Azathioprine Refractory Crohn's Disease.

Background: There is limited data in the literature analyzing the efficacy of methotrexate in Crohn's disease used after thiopurine analogs. We aimed in our study to show the efficacy of methotrexate in Crohn's disease patients who failed to respond to thiopurine treatment.

Methods: The study included 29 azathioprine refractory patients with Crohn's disease.

Effects of Systemic and Local Caffeine on Vessel Diameter, Anastomosis Patency, and Intimal Hyperplasia in the Rat.

Background:  The use of caffeine is not recommended prior to elective microsurgery due to its demonstrated negative effects on vessel anastomosis by the presumed sympathomimetic induction of vasoconstriction. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the systemic and local effects of caffeine on vessel diameter, anastomosis patency, and degree of intimal hyperplasia during the healing process.

Methods:  Twenty-five rats were randomly assigned to five groups: (1) negative control, (2) preoperative systemic caffeine, (3) postoperative systemic caffeine, (4) perioperative systemic caffeine, and (5) a local caffeine group.

Molar pregnancy in cesarean section scar: A case report.

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancies and molar pregnancies are two very rare obstetric pathologies. In both cases, serious morbidities are involved that require careful management. The coexistence of the two clinical conditions is far less common and there are a limited number of cases in the literature.

Topiramate as a neuroprotective agent in a rat model of spinal cord injury.

Topiramate (TPM) is a widely used antiepileptic and antimigraine agent which has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in various experimental traumatic brain injury and stroke models. However, its utility in spinal cord injury has not been studied extensively. Thus, we evaluated effects of TPM on secondary cellular injury mechanisms in an experimental rat model of traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).

Descriptive Analysis of Sphenovomerine Suture and Its Importance in Neurosurgery.

Purpose: Articulation of rostrum of sphenoid bone with alae of vomer forms a schindylesis type of joint. The circumference of this joint, called sphenovomerine suture (SVS), is very important in establishing a reliable surgical field in the endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery. Because of its vital role in endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, this radio-anatomical study was designed to establish the morphological properties of SVS.

MAIN ETHICAL BREACHES IN MULTICENTER CLINICAL TRIALS REGULATIONS OF TURKEY.

Turkey has been a growing market for multicenter clinical trials for the last ten years and is considered among the top ten countries in terms of potential study subject populations. The objective of increasing the share of Turkey in multicenter clinical trials is strongly supported. This ambitious goal of Turkey raises the need to have regulations in compliance with other leading countries conducting clinical trials.
