Behavioral feeding problems and parenting stress in toddlers with food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis.

Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol

November 2024

Division of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Health Sciences Türkiye, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.

Background: Food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP) typically develops in infancy, a critical period for taste preference and feeding skill development. Eliminating culprit foods, along with limited food options and the child's distressing symptoms, can significantly impact the mothers' parenting roles. However, research on behavioral feeding problems and parenting stress in toddlers with FPIAP is lacking.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to obtain real-life data on the use of antimyeloma agents, which significantly increase overall survival (OS) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients, in primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) patients with poor prognosis.

Materials And Methods: Data from 53 patients who were diagnosed with pPCL between 2011 and 2020 and who used at least one proteasome inhibitor (PI) and/or immunomodulatory (IMID) agent were analyzed retrospectively. Depending on the year of the pPCL diagnosis, 20% leukocytes or ≥2x10/L plasma cells in the peripheral blood was used as a diagnostic criterion.

Objective: Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) is a common lymphoid neoplasm with a wide range of differential diagnosis. Although it has a specific immunophenotype, aberrant expression of antigens can cause problems at its diagnosis. In this study we evaluated the usefulness of GATA3 in differential diagnosis of classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the safety of omitting axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in patients with residual axillary disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), focusing on those treated with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or targeted axillary dissection (TAD).
  • An analysis of two multicenter cohorts (MF18-02 and MF18-03) included 501 patients who received regional nodal irradiation and achieved a complete clinical response to NAC.
  • Results showed low recurrence rates (0.4% axillary, 0.8% locoregional) and no significant differences in disease-free or disease-specific survival between SLNB and TAD, suggesting ALND omission is safe if patients receive

Conjunctival Collagen Cross-Linking for the Treatment of Leaking Avascular Cystic Bleb.

Turk J Ophthalmol

October 2024

University of Health Sciences Türkiye, Ulucanlar Eye Training and Research Hospital, Clinic of Ophthalmology, Ankara, Türkiye.

Trabeculectomy is a primary surgical procedure used to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma. Despite its effectiveness, it can lead to significant complications, including hypotony, choroidal effusion, blebitis, and bleb leaks. Bleb leaks require prompt medical or surgical intervention to prevent severe complications such as blebitis and bleb-associated endophthalmitis.

Partial Lateral Rectus Avulsion Due to Cat Scratch.

Turk J Ophthalmol

October 2024

University of Health Sciences Türkiye, Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Clinic of Ophthalmology, Ankara, Türkiye.

Isolated rectus muscle rupture due to trauma without globe damage is extremely rare. The most commonly affected muscle is the medial rectus, while the least affected is the lateral rectus. The oblique muscles are much less affected by trauma because they are protected by the surrounding bone structures.

Article Synopsis
  • * It found that the RSV only group had lower pH and higher rates of bronchiolitis, while the RSV with viral agents group experienced longer hospital stays and more severe symptoms.
  • * Additionally, cases with bacterial co-infections were generally younger and had different clinical markers, highlighting that combined viral and bacterial infections can worsen RSV severity and impact treatment approaches like High Flow Nasal Cannula-Oxygen Therapy.

Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, University of Health Sciences Türkiye, Basaksehir Cam and Sakura City Hospital, Istanbul, Türkiye.

Objectives: To compare the usage of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and orotracheal intubation (OTI), which are separate airway management methods in tracheal reconstruction surgeries, in terms of perioperative management, mortality, and morbidity.

Methods: Adult patients who underwent tracheal reconstruction surgery between June 2020 and June 2022 were included in the study, retrospectively. Patients with lost data or primary tracheal malignancy were excluded.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the characteristics and outcomes of adult patients who underwent surgery for thyroglossal cysts (TGCs), aiming to compare them with existing data on pediatric cases.
  • The research included 16 adult patients (average age 43.9 years), with the majority diagnosed via ultrasonography and treated mostly with the Sistrunk procedure, while some had concurrent thyroid diseases including papillary thyroid cancer.
  • No recurrence of TGC was observed during an average follow-up period of just over 22 months, indicating that adult patients may also experience effective surgical outcomes similar to those in children.

Objectives: The incidence of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is increasing, and due to the favorable postoperative survival rates, the extent of surgery should be carefully determined, and complications during the operation should be avoided. The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) divides the right paratracheal lymph node (RPTLN) into anteromedial and posterolateral compartments due to its anatomical course on the right and left sides of the neck, and the posterolateral lymph nodes are in close proximity to the RLN. Due to the risk of this complication, in this study, we aimed to determine the risk factors for the development of right paratracheal posterolateral lymph node (RPTPLLN) metastasis in PTC.

  • Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) is a severe form of peripheral artery disease linked to significant health risks, including high limb amputation rates and reduced quality of life.
  • The study examined the relationship between the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), which indicates immunological and nutritional health, and mortality in CLTI patients following endovascular therapy.
  • Results highlighted that lower PNI levels were associated with higher mortality, especially in older patients with chronic conditions, suggesting PNI could be a valuable predictor of survival outcomes in CLTI cases.

Preoperative Preparation in Hyperthyroidism and Surgery in the Hyperthyroid State.

Sisli Etfal Hastan Tip Bul

September 2024

Department of General Surgery, University of Health Sciences Türkiye, Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Türkiye.

Hyperthyroidism is a clinical condition that develops due to the excessive production and secretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland, leading to an elevated concentration of thyroid hormones in tissues. Hyperthyroidism is characterized by low TSH and elevated T3 and/or T4, with the most common causes being Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, and solitary toxic adenoma. T3 is the peripherally active form of thyroid hormone, affecting nearly each tissue and system.
