Introduction: Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (US-FNAB) is the cornerstone of thyroid nodule evaluation. Although traditionally performed by radiologists, the increasing involvement of endocrine surgeons in this procedure necessitates assessment of its effectiveness. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic adequacy of US-FNAB performed by a…

Purpose: Multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) is the most common cystic renal disease in children and is often detected prenatally. This study evaluated the clinical features, associated anomalies, and renal outcomes of children with unilateral MCDK, focusing on the impact of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)…

Objective:To investigate the relationship between Doppler-derived resistive index(RI) values, TI-RADS categories, and shear-wave elastography(SWE) parameters in solid thyroid nodules, and to determine whether RI contributes additional value to imaging-based characterization.Material-Methods:This retrospective study included 52 patients with 52 solid thyroid nodules larger than 1 cm. All…

Aim: Acetabular liner orientation has been widely studied in the context of instability and impingement after total hip arthroplasty (THA), yet its impact on postoperative hip range of motion (ROM) remains unclear. ROM may be influenced by multiple confounding factors, including limb length discrepancy (LLD),…

Introduction: Atherosclerosis and inflammation play central roles in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Early identification of chronic total occlusion (CTO) in patients presenting with stable angina pectoris is clinically important for guiding treatment strategies. Therefore, evaluating the diagnostic utility of novel inflammatory and…

ABSTRACTBackground: Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common neurological condition, particularly among the elderly, often presenting asymptomatically. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of hydrocortisone as a monotherapy in patients with cSDH.Methods: In our clinic, patients over 18 years of age with newly diagnosed…

Introduction: This study examined the prevalence and clinical characteristics of persistent post-Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) headache, and explored its associations with demographic, clinical, and neuroimaging parameters within a real-world patient cohort, thereby addressing a frequently reported yet insufficiently understood neurological complication.Materials and Methods: A total…

Objective: Osteoporosis (OP) is highly prevalent among patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (iRMDs), yet it remains frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated in this population. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of osteoporosis knowledge and awareness among patients diagnosed with iRMDs.Methods: A total of…

Aim:Ovarian torsion is a gynecological emergency that can lead to adnexal ischemia and tissue loss if not promptly treated. This study aimed to describe the clinical, laboratory, imaging, and surgical characteristics of patients undergoing surgery for ovarian torsion in a tertiary care center and to…

Purpose: This study aims to compare two prevalent surgical techniques for cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS): ulnar nerve in situ decompression (ISD) and subcutaneous anterior transposition (SAT), with an emphasis on clinical outcomes, surgical period, and complications.Material Methods: Sixty-nine patients who underwent surgery for CuTS between…
