ABSTRACT Introduction Injuries to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) that may occur during thyroidectomy cause hoarseness, dysphagia, and dyspnea. Even if injured can be repaired surgically, it heals slowly not completely. Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) is obtained by centrifuging blood taken from human body. PRP accelerates healing of due many growth factors contains. The aim this study investigate therapeutic effectiveness assess surgical repair after RLN injury. Materials Methods...

Materials methods: Forty-two over 18 years of age who underwent hemodialysis program at our unit, tested positive for by PCR from nasopharyngeal swabs, and/or were disease-related...

Aim Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-induced anxiety is not infrequent with a reported incidence as high 37% and the rate of failed MRI due to claustrophobia ranges between 0.5% 14.5%. The objective this study was evaluate quality reliability YouTubeTM videos on claustrophobia. Methods Sixty-five were included in final analysis. Video information analyzed video length (minutes), content, qualification uploaders, time upload, since number total views mean daily views, like counts. We divided...

Background Due to many different reasons such as possible coronavirus colonization in tonsillar tissue, decreased enzymatic antiviral activity, cytokine activity from palatine tonsil tissue and reduced humoral cellular immune response, tonsillectomy may alter the incidence of Covid–19.

Objective: In this study, we investigated whether the index of fibrosis-4 (fib-4), which is a parameter indicating liver fibrosis and stiffness, related to severity acute pulmonary embolism (APE). Material Methods: A total 118 patients who were diagnosed with APE divided into two groups according hemodynamic status at time admission emergency department. Group 1 high-risk instability (42 patients, 24 male, mean age 66.2±13.6 years). 2 non without (76 61.2±16.9 Biochemical parameters cardiac...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rarely observed tumor of subcutaneous tissue. Its incidence about 0.8-4.5/1000000. Fibrosarcomatous transformation DFSP has been described in the literature, accounting for 10% cases. A high-grade sarcoma with fusiform and pleomorphic cells very tumor. It mainly located on proximal extremities body; it seldomly seen breast. The grows gradually within years. local recurrence frequently observed, however, metastasis present. treated by resection free...

Aims: Breast cancer is the most common type of in women and accounts for a large portion cancer-related deaths. As other types cancer, prevention early diagnosis breast gain importance day after day. For this purpose, artificial intelligence-based decision support systems become popular recent years. In study, an automatic lesion segmentation process proposed to detect lesions images taken with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol. 
 Methods: Two methods: expectation maximization...

In this study, it is aimed to classify breast lesions as benign/malignant by using magnetic resonance images taken from Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital with legal permission. For purpose, at the first step lesion area determined exactly region growing Markov random field segmentation methods. Then, feature extraction process performed calculating fifteen shape features belonging area. At last step, classification carried out utilizing k-nearest neighbor support vector...

Breast cancer is one of the most common types especially met in women. The number breast patients increases every year. Thus, to detect at its early stages gains importance. region detection pioneering step diagnosis researches performed via image processing techniques. performance computer-aided systems can be improved by exactly determining interest. In this study, goal determine a interest for MR images, which or more lesion appear. achieved includes two breasts and lymph nodes. proposed...

Background: Aortic knob width (AKW) is the measurement of radiographic configuration composed foreshortened aortic arch and a part descending aorta. We investigated relationship between nondipper pattern AKW. Material methods: All patients’ office blood pressure measurements 24-hour ambulatory readings were recorded. A drop less than 10% was defined as non-dipping. The patients grouped into Group 1; dipper (37 patients; 22F, mean age 49.2 ± 11.7 yrs) 2; non-dipper (64 37F, 53.7 13.1 yrs). On...
