Background In recent years, white blood cells (WBCs) and their subtypes have been studied in relation to inflammation. The aim of our study was assess the relationship between neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Materials methods We enrolled a total 177 patients, 96 AS 81 healthy controls. Complete count, WBC, neutrophil lymphocyte levels were measured, NLR calculated. assessment AS, we used erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C‐reactive protein (CRP), Bath Ankylosing...

Objectives: Our study aimed to determine surgeons' work-related musculoskeletal disorders, physical workload, location of the disorder, frequency, characteristics, and effects on daily life. Furthermore, we draw attention ergonomics education by investigating opinions attitudes regarding ergonomics. Methods: Data were collected using survey forms from 37 surgeons who met appropriate criteria. Sociodemographic The Physical Workload Questionnaire was used evaluate Extended Nordic...

Hypertrophy of the sciatic nerve after lower-limb amputation in patients with sarcomas has been previously reported by magnetic resonance imaging; however, sonographic evaluation due to nonmalignant causes not done before. Therefore, aim this study was perform imaging amputees and find out whether findings were related clinical characteristics. Twenty-three males amputations traumatic injuries enrolled. Sonographic evaluations performed using a linear array probe (Aloka UST-5524-7.5 MHZ)....

Recent studies showed that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a lifelong which may be seen in adults as well children. However, information about the relationship between ADHD and general medical conditions adulthood limited. This case-control study aims to determine whether symptoms are associated with extremity fractures their clinical characteristics.Forty patients (25 male 15 female; aged 18-50 years) who were due 40 control subjects enrolled. Childhood present of...

The aim of this study was to examine the role coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in prevention steroid-induced osteonecrosis femoral head (ONFH) rats.The included 20 Sprague-Dawley rats injected once with mg/kg methylprednisolone acetate into right gluteus medius muscle induce osteonecrosis. Animals were divided two equal groups; Group 1 received no prophylaxis (control group) and 2 CoQ10. Hematological examinations performed before steroid injection (0 weeks) at 4 weeks after injection. Femoral heads...

This study aimed to provide sonographic imaging of the patellar tendon (PT) - one main weight bearing structures for prosthetic use in transtibial amputees. Thirteen males, who had been under follow-up unilateral traumatic amputations, were enrolled. After physical examination limb, pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale and Leeds Assessment Neuropathic Symptoms Signs. Sonographic evaluations performed using a linear array probe (Aloka UST-5524-7.5 MHz) on both sides. Measurements...

Schwannoma, also known as neurilemoma, is the most common tumour of peripheral nerves. Although it nerves, seldom seen in adult population. We present a very rare case schwannoma an unusual localization. The presented concerns 58-year-old patient with slowly growing popliteal mass and neuralgia for 6 months. A originating from nerve or compressing was thought differential diagnosis. Ultrasonographic magnetic resonance imaging revealed heterogenous, well-defined solid that seems to originate...

[Purpose] The aim this study was to assess the relation between bone mineral density (BMD) and mean platelet volume (MPV) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients, evaluate diagnostic role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [Subjects Methods] Fifty patients diagnosed with AS were divided into two groups on basis BMD, a normal group (n=30) an osteopenic (n=20) group. [Results] Duration disease BMD 10.3±7.0 years, while it 16.7±12.2 years osteopenia MPV high group, no...

Patients consulting bone setters is common in the eastern and south-eastern regions of Turkey. The reasons for instead qualified doctors remains unclear. We investigated characteristics such patients who consult traditional after trauma prior to admission hospital.In study, 3,422 14,080 were admitted hospital between January 2012 February 2013 with or sequelae previously treated by setters. these main consultation recorded.Most found be young adults children. Generally speaking, poorly...

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is the idiopathic avascular necrosis of femoral head in childhood. The pathologic changes seen are likely a result vascular factors. Blood neutrophil to lymphocyte (N/L) ratio simple marker subclinical inflammation. This study aims analyse predictive ability N/L for prognosis LCPD patients.Patients who had been diagnosed as from 2008 2014 were investigated retrospectively and 40 patients (33 male 7 female) 25 healthy age sex-matched children (controls)...

A 35-yr-old man was seen on a routine follow-up visit after left-sided transtibial amputation because of landmine injury 19 yrs ago. He complained throbbing pain the lateral side distal stump as he used his prosthesis (modular type with silicone liner shuttlelock). The rest medical history unremarkable. On physical examination, clean and normal (11 cm in length starting from inferior pole patella), but palpation caused severe pain. Allodynia present, Visual Analog Scale Leeds Assessment...

Purpose . Surgical procedures are likely to be stressful for patients and their families. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a major surgical procedure used in the treatment of osteoarthritis. During this sounds saw hammer may irritate patient adversely affect mood. The present study examines effect these intraoperative during TKA on postoperative mood anxiety, by comparing two different anesthetic procedures. Methods A total 40 who underwent grade IV gonarthrosis participated study. Patients...

The use of intralaminar screws (ILS) in spinal surgery has experienced a recent increase popularity. aim this study is to define the morphological parameters lumbar laminas so that guidance may be defined for ILS placement.The involved evaluation computed tomography (CT) images patients. Two hundred thirty-five patients (127 male, 108 female) were included study. mean patient age was 44.2 years (19-78 years). measured lamina transverse inner diameter, outer diameter (lamina width), length,...

Peritendinous adhesions are serious complications after surgical repair of tendons and can lead to poor functional outcome. In the present study, tensile strength repaired was measured biomechanically in two groups using a rabbit Achilles tendon model, effects Adcon gel on peritendinous healing were examined by means histological mechanical analyses. treatment group, transected, followed primary modified Kessler technique, injected between skin right leg. The same operation done for control...
