Risk Factors of Incidental Parathyroidectomy and its Relationship with Hypocalcemia after Thyroidectomy: A Retrospective Study
No full textBackground: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of incidental parathyroidectomy, the relationship between incidental parathyroidectomy and postoperative hypocalcemia, and risk factors for incidental parathyroidectomy in patients undergoing thyroid surgery
The benign mimickers of carcinoma on breast MRI
No full textThe similarity between benign and malignant pathologies on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a wide-ranging variability of the lesions from benign proliferative changes to invasive breast carcinoma cause a lower and wide-ranging specificity of breast MRI relative to its surpass sensitivity. A wide range of tissue components such as the skin, the adipose tissue, vascular and neural tissues, connective tissues, glandular tissues, ducts, and muscle tissues are found here all together. This pictorial review was aimed at deliberating benign mimickers of breast carcinoma on MRI and trying to call attention to the overlapping and distinctive features

No full textThe prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity shows a gradual increase nowadays. Despite the introduction of multiagent treatment modalities, many patients with T2DM still do not have good results. Bariatric/metabolic surgery performed in obese patients to attain weight loss has been shown to improve T2DM. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is another type of diabetes that also shows an increase in prevalence. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the literature about the bariatric/metabolic surgical procedures performed in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes
The importance of local subcutaneous fat thickness in pilonidal disease
No full textPURPOSE: This study was designed to investigate the local subcutaneous fat thickness in sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease. METHODS: Subcutaneous fat thickness was measured by ultrasonography in 125 patients with sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease and 125 age-matched, body mass index-matched and gender-matched controls. RESULTS: The sacrococcygeal subcutaneous fat thickness was 14.4 +/- 2.9 mm, 18.3 +/- 3.1 mm, and 22 +/- 2.2 nun, respectively, in normal, overweight, and obese patients with sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease and 9.1 +/- 3.1 mm, 11.3 +/- 2.6 mm, and 20 +/- 1.8 nun, respectively, in normal, overweight, and obese controls. Sacrococcygeal fat was significantly thicker in normal and overweight patients with pilonidal disease compared with controls with same body mass index (P 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Sacrococcygeal tat thickness, as a local factor, is closely associated with pilonidal disease
Comparison of Surface Swab and Quantitative Biopsy Cultures Dependent on Isolated Microorganisms from Burn Wounds
No full textObjective: Infections are one of the most important and potentially serious complications of burn wounds. Quantitative biopsy cultures are useful for showing that a burn wound infection is not present, but these cultures are not useful for showing that an infection is present. Swab cultures are used to diagnosis surface colonization and may not accurately reflect the organism(s) causing the wound infection
Granulomatous Mastitis: A Ten-Year Experience at a University Hospital
No full textObjective: In this study we aimed to define clinical, radiologic and pathological specialties of patients who applied to General Surgery Department of Ataturk University Medical Faculty with granulomatous mastitis and show medical and surgical treatment results. With the help of this study we will be able to make our own clinical algorithm for diagnosis and treatment
