RA^1 Güngör KARAGÜZEL^2 Metin ÇUBUK^3 Nihal OYGUR^1 ^1Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatology, Akdeniz University, Faculty of Medicine, Antalya - TURKEY ^2Department of Pediatric Surgery, Akdeniz University, Faculty of Medicine, Antalya - TURKEY ^3Department of Radiology, Akdeniz University, Faculty of Medicine, Antalya - TURKEY Absract: The ovarian cyst is the most common intra-abdominal cystic lesion in the female neonate. Several authors have reported complications caused by compression of cysts on other viscera. We present a neonate with acute transient hepatic failure due to the compression of ovarian cysts on the liver.

Communicating Hydrocephalus In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Ramazan Albayrak, Sai̇t Albayram, Hakan Selçuk, Sebahatti̇n Sai̇p, Hali̇t Yilmaz, Ci̇van Işlak

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement has been recognized as the second leading cause of death in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), although hydrocephalus is seen very rarely. We report a case of communicating hydrocephalus in a 24-year-old woman having previously diagnosed SLE without antiphospholipid antibody syndrome or cerebral venous angiographic abnormality. We propose direct damage-thrombosis of small sized venous structures or immune complex deposition within arachnoid villi, which impair cerebrospinal fluid flow, as a possible, yet unproven, pathophysiologic mechanism for hydrocephalus in SLE.

The encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma constitutes the most common source of consultation material in thyroid pathology. We present our five consecutive cases to illustrate this issue. The diagnosis of the encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma is considerably controversial. These tumors are encapsulated neoplasms and have the nuclear features of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Although the criteria were described for the diagnosis, a considerable subjectivity is present among the pathologists. Therefore, the categories of "well differentiated carcinoma" and "well differentiated tumor of uncertain malignant potential" were included in the diagnostic spectrum of these neoplasms. Five consecutive cases …

The aim of this study is to evaluate factors influencing utilization of health services by women aged 15 years and older having any health symptoms within the previous 15 days in a city center located in the eastern part of Turkey. In this cross-sectional study, subjects (1,000 households) were sampled from the "city-information-system" based on household satellite photographs of the city. Nine hundred and thirty-five households out of 1,000 were included in the study (response rate: 93.5%), and 1,613 subjects were interviewed. Seven hundred and eighteen women out of 1,613 participants reported at least one health symptom (44.5%), and of …

Adjuncts (Tramadol And Magnesium) Potentiate Impulse Inhibition By A Local Anaesthetic In Isolated Frog Siatic Nerves?, Belgi̇n Büyükakilli, Nurcan Doruk, Ülkü Çömelekoğlu, Handan Çamdevi̇ren, Sevgi̇ Güneş
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Aim: In clinical use, the addition of adjuncts (magnesium or tramadol) to local anesthetic agents is used for different reasons. However, reports about the effect of magnesium plus bupivacaine and of tramadol plus bupivacaine on in vitro preparations are scarce. The aim of this study was to examine the ability of local anesthetics to reduce the amplitude of compound nerve action potentials of the isolated frog sciatic nerve in the absence and presence of adjuncts (magnesium and tramadol). Materials and Methods: The experiments were done on frog sciatic nerves, using an extracellular recording technique. Isolated frog sciatic nerves were bathed …

Background: Although tumor markers have been used as biomarkers for monitoring response to therapy and detecting early relapse in malignancies, it is well known that most tumor marker increases are not specific enough to be used for diagnosis of cancer. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the serum concentrations of \alpha -fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen (CA) 19-9, CA 125, CA 15-3 and IgE in asthma patients. Materials and Methods: Thirty-five newly diagnosed asthmatic patients and 14 healthy subjects were included into the study. Blood samples were drawn from antecubital vein of asthma patients and …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Direct association of trace and macro-elements in relation to human disease has been observed in many research studies. In many cases, an alteration in the metabolism of these minerals has been demonstrated. Methods: In this investigation, the hair levels of the trace elements zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni) and the toxic elements lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) were determined in 110 subjects (57 skin- diseased subjects and 53 controls). Samples were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometric methods. Results: Analysis of hair samples revealed significantly lower levels of zinc, iron and copper in skin-diseased patients …

Aim: Dukes' staging system is a simple system used widely in the staging of colorectal cancer. This study was designed to analyze the applicability of the modified Dukes' classification system in gastric cancer cases. Methods: The prognostic factors affecting survival in 139 gastric cancer cases who had had at least 15 lymph nodes removed were analyzed. Modified Dukes' and TNM classifications were investigated to correlate statistically significant prognostic factors. The investigated prognostic factors were age, tumor size, histological type, differentiation, localization and number of the lymph nodes removed, and the ratio of number of metastatic lymph nodes to the number …

Study Of Elements, Antioxidants And Lipid Peroxidation In Hemodialysis Patients, Esma Menevşe, Abdullah Si̇vri̇kaya, Emrah Karagözoğlu, Ali̇ Muhtar Ti̇fti̇k, Süleyman Türk
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: During hemodialysis, most of the elements must be kept in a rather narrow physiological range, otherwise life-threatening events may occur. Furthermore, lipid peroxidation in patients may be partly due to the trace element disturbances. It has been mentioned that there are relations between deficiency in trace elements and antioxidant levels. The present study aimed to determine whether there were differences between hemodialysis patients and a healthy group according to selenium, aluminium, malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced form of glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels. Methods: The study included 47 hemodialysis patients (hemodialysis group). Blood samples were taken before (pre-hemodialysis) and …

The Prevalence Of Pleural Effusion In Pregnant Women: A Pilot Study, Ebru Di̇kensoy, Özcan Balat, Öner Di̇kensoy
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Pleural effusions are very common in general population. There are more than 50 reasons for the etiology. There is limited data on the prevalence of pleural effusions in a population of pregnant women. We prospectively screened 45 pregnant women between May and October 2006. All the pregnant women underwent thoracic ultrasonography during their routine check. Five out of 45 subjects (11%) had minimal and bilateral pleural effusion. None of the subjects was symptomatic. All of the effusions regressed without any intervention. In conclusion, the prevalence of pleural effusions is not rare during pregnancy and physicians should be aware of the …
