Evidence-Based Information About Intermittent Fasting In Diabetes Patients: Useful Or Harmful?, Mustafa Altay
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background/aim: One of the most important components of treatment for diabetic patients is diet and healthy nutrition therapy. Calorie restriction is effective and without cost increases its appeal for both patients and physicians. Unfortunately, continuous calorie restriction is a difficult method. For this reason, alternative calorie restriction methods, such as intermittent fasting (IF), have been investigated by some researchers. Materials and methods: IF refers to a wide range of diet programmes covering periods of eating and fasting, which vary according to the different regimens. In this article, first, some general information will enable us to understand the concept of IF, …

Background/aim: Significant advances have been achieved in immunotherapy for the treatment of lung cancer. It is known that tumor cells and cells in the tumor microenvironment express high amounts of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1). These PD-L1s interact with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), causing immunosuppression. The aim of our study is to examine the correlation between the serum sPD-1 and sPD-L1 levels and clinicopathological characteristics in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer. We also compared our results with the healthy population (control group). Materials and methods: Thirthy-seven nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who were operated in …

Optimal Screw Positioning In Cervical Pedicles To Avoid Complications, Kerem Atalar, Zafer Kutay Coşkun, Ahmet Memduh Kaymaz
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background/aim: Cervical instability can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, tumors, or infection. The cervical transpedicular screw (CPS) is one of the most modern procedures for treating cervical instability. Despite the fact that numerous innovative techniques for CPS have been proposed, the appropriate screw entry points and screw directions have yet to be thoroughly established. The aim of this study is to determine the screw insertion angles and screw entry point distances based on reference points, pedicle axis lengths, and pedicle axis intersections for each vertebra from cervical (C) C2 to C7 in both right and left …

Background/aim: Reducing lymphedema-associated burden and disability in the pediatric setting requires improved awareness and understanding clinical properties of the lymphedema. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with pediatric lymphedema presented to different lymphedema centers in Turkey. Materials and methods: The socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the children including age, gender, presence of genetic syndromes, duration of edema, site and stage of lymphedema and the received therapies were determined. Parental and children education on self-management techniques were recorded. Results: A total of 122 children (female: 66, male: 56) with a mean age …

Background/aim: The differences in molecular mechanisms during a stable period and the changes in the inflammatory responses during exacerbations between distinct severe asthma phenotypes remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to characterize stable and exacerbation period serum cytokine and periostin levels of 5 different predefined severe asthma phenotypes with real-life data. Changes in the viral infection-induced exacerbations were also analyzed. Materials and methods: Serum levels of 8 cytokines and periostin were measured from the sera obtained from the adult patients with five different severe asthma phenotypes based on the presence/absence of aeroallergen sensitivity, peripheral eosinophilia and chronic rhinosinusitis with …

Background/aim: Assessing the validity and clinical utility of axillary ultrasonography (AUS)-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in detection of nodal metastasis during preoperative axillary investigation in comparison to the histopathologic diagnosis in early-stage breast cancer. Materials and methods: A total of 279 operated primary breast cancer patients (age: 55.3 ± 12.8, ranged 17-90 years) were included. Data on AUS findings at the time of initial diagnosis (first look AUS), second-look AUS findings performed by the breast radiologist during breast biopsy procedure and the AUS-guided FNAB findings were evaluated with respect to the final histopathology report obtained through axillary surgery via …

This study provides updated the length-weight relationships and Fulton's condition factor of 28 fish species belonging to 23 families from the Black Sea. Samples were collected along the depths between 0-100 meters by demersal trawl surveys conducted seasonally from May 2017 to September 2019. A total of 83,885 specimens were collected. The length-weight relationships and Fulton's condition factor, minimum, maximum and mean lengths, total weights, descriptive statistics, and growth type were provided for all the species. The results indicate that LWR parameters of b varied from 2.2039 to 3.737 and Fulton's condition factor varied between 0.004 and 1.18. These findings …
