Aim: Intravenous thrombolytic therapy is an effective and safe method in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke due to dissection. Our knowledge about the clinical results and reperfusion rates of the endovascular treatment of dissection associated with intracranial vessel occlusion is limited. In our study,…
Aim: Patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures tend to experience a higher frequency of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). This study aimed explore the influence of intraoperative end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO₂) levels on the occurrence of PONV in robotic surgery. Methods: This observational clinical study included…
Aim: To assess the concordance between preoperative endometrial biopsy and final postoperative histopathological findings in patients with endometrioid-type endometrial cancer, and to identify factors associated with diagnostic discrepancies. Methods: This retrospective study included 134 patients who underwent surgery between 2005 and 2018 following a preoperative…
Aim: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy causes hemodynamic changes such as decreasing preload, compression on vena cava inferior. These effects are correlated with increased intraabdominal pressure due to pneumoperitoneum. This study aims to evaluate the effect of granisetron (1 mg) in the prevention of post-induction hypotension in adult…
Aim: Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) primarily affects young males but typically presents as a secondary condition in older adults. Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is a life-threatening condition that requires urgent intervention, often arising due to underlying chronic pulmonary diseases. This study aims to evaluate the etiological…
Aim: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have demonstrated favorable effects on metabolic parameters, yet their impact on liver fibrosis indices such as the Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score remains underexplored. Understanding the comparative efficacy of empagliflozin and dapagliflozin in modulating hepatic and metabolic markers could guide therapeutic…
Aim: This study investigated IL-6 expression in placentas of patients diagnosed with preterm and term premature rupture of membranes (PROM) via immunohistochemical and in silico analysis. Methods: Placentas of 40 healthy patients and 40 preterm and 40 term patients diagnosed with term PROM who gave…
Aim: Early diagnosis of renal dysfunction has clinical and prognostic importance for liver cirrhosis. The disadvantages are that creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) are dependent on age and muscle mass in demonstrating renal dysfunction. There is a need for parameters that can detect renal…
Aim: Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal cortical scintigraphy is the reference standard for the non-invasive diagnosis of renal scar tissue; however, it involves exposure to low doses of radiation. Shear wave elastography (SWE) has recently emerged as a radiation-free, easily applicable technique to measure renal stiffness…
Aim: To compare the effects of 10% lidocaine spray and intravenous (IV) lidocaine on hemodynamic responses, postoperative throat pain, and coughing following laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Methods: A total of 120 patients, aged 18 to 65 years and scheduled for elective surgery, were randomized into…
