Hepatocellular carcinoma (HSC) accounts for approximately 80% of primary hepatic malignancies. The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) classification divides HCC into 5 stages and allocates treatments. The aim of this study is to examine the initial treatments of HCC patients in our center and compare them with the approaches in the guidelines. Methods: The data of patients diagnosed with HCC between 2006 and 2016 were recruited retrospectively. Age, gender, etiology, Child-Pugh score, BCLC stage, model for end-stage liver disease score, alpha-fetoprotein level, tumor characteristics, type of first treatment and survival time were evaluated. Results: There were 228 men and 33 women. The mean age was 61±10.5. Of the 130 patients 77 were found on BCLC stage C. The first treatment according to BCLC stage were sorafenib in 22, resection in 16, TACE in 15, Ytrium-90 in 14, systemic chemotherapy other than sorafenib in 14, transplantation in 11, palliative treatment in 8, and ablation in 4 patients. The median survival time was 11.9 (8.1-15.9) months. One-year survival was 32%, three-year survival was 19%, and five-year survival was 16%. Conclusion: The management of HCC patients was performed according to more than just BCLC guidelines in our center. The high number of patients who did not receive treatment may indicate that we need to show sufficient clinical attention to Stage D patients.","PeriodicalId":153630,"journal":{"name":"Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Tıp Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139238516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Between January 2015 and December 2021, 92 pregnant women between 22-41 weeks of gestational age who gave birth due to IUFD in Muğla University Education and Research Hospital clinic were included in the study. Age at presentation, gravida, parity and BMI data, gestational weeks, and if after birth, birth weight, mode of delivery, infant sex and pathologic examination results were recorded. There were 92 cases of IUFD between the specified dates. The ratio of cases to the number of births was 1.03%. Of the cases, 88 (95.65%) were singleton pregnancies and 4 (4.34%) were multiple pregnancies. The mean age was 29.47±5.71 years. Among the cases, 1 (1.08%) pregnant woman was under 18 years of age and 1 pregnant woman was over 40 years of age. The mean BMI was 25.54±3.90 kg/m2 and 2 (2.16%) pregnant women were morbidly obese (≥40 kg/m2). The mean gestational age was 31.07±4.87 weeks. When the causes of IUFD were evaluated, placental abruptio1n was observed in 12 (13.18%) pregnant women. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were present in 6 (50%) of the pregnant women with placental abruption. While 5 (5.49%) pregnant women had diabetes mellitus, 2 (2.19%) had placenta previa. A total of 7 (7.60%) pregnant women had anhydroamniosis, a sign of uteroplacental insufficiency, during hospitalization, while 20 (21.97%) pregnant women had fetal anomaly. One (1.09%) pregnant woman developed disseminated intravascular coagulation. In addition, 3 (3.26%) pregnant women had COVID-19 and were hospitalized. The predictability of IUFD cases is low.

Aile hekimleri sorumluluğu altında olan hastaları tanı, tedavi, rehabilitasyon ve danışmanlık hizmetleri kapsamında bütüncül olarak ele alıp değerlendiren hekimlerdir. Dolayısıyla aile hekimlerinin kendilerine başvuran çocukların ÖÖB belirtilerini fark edip bu çocukları tanı-değerlendirme ve müdahale için yönlendirmelerinin önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, aile hekimlerinin ÖÖB’ye ilişkin bilgi ve farkındalık düzeylerinin belirlemesi amaçlanmaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın amacı doğrultusunda Türkiye’nin çeşitli illerinde hizmet veren aile hekimlerine “Özgül Öğrenme Bozukluğu Bilgi ve Farkındalık Düzeyi Belirleme Anketi” araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilerek uygulanmıştır. Veriler, elektronik ortamda 125 aile hekiminin gönüllü katılımıyla elde edilmiştir. Anket maddelerine ilişkin aile hekimlerinin verdikleri cevapların frekans ve yüzde değerleri hesaplanarak istatistiksel analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırma bulgularına göre aile hekimlerinin ÖÖB’nin tanım, etiyoloji, yaygınlık, tanılama, değerlendirme ve müdahale süreçlerine ilişkin bilgi eksikliklerinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, aile hekimlerinin ÖÖB farkındalığının düşük olduğu, daha çok internet ve sosyal medya (instagram/twitter gibi) ile kitap/makaleler aracılığıyla bilgi edindikleri belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: ÖÖB erken tanısı ile birlikte gerekli müdahalelerin uygulanması oldukça önemlidir. Bu nedenle, aile hekimlerinin ÖÖB’li bireyleri erken çocukluk döneminde fark edip tanı-değerlendirme ve müdahale süreçlerine yönlendirebilmeleri için bilgi ve farkındalıklarının artırılmasının önemli olduğu düşülmektedir.","PeriodicalId":153630,"journal":{"name":"Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Tıp Dergisi","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139255557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We here describe a technique that is easy for performing high ligation in cases complicated with torn hernial sac. The steps of our incision technique is: Non-separated part was tightened with the help of forceps localized at the lateral aspects of teared sac. The incision to the sac was fashioned by scalpel No 15, while taking care to avoid injury to the underlying testicular vessels and vas deferens. Then, wound edges of the proximal hernia sac was moved forward by using fine tissue forceps and scalpel. The walls of proximal sac was totally grasped in one forceps and dissected gently from the remaining adhesions and cremasteric fibers up to the level of the internal ring. The mean age of the patients was 13.9±18.1 months (range 3 weeks-7 years). The diagnosis of the patients was inguinal hernia in 17 (63%) and undescended testis in 10 (37%). Seven (25,9%) of the patients had a large inguinal hernia sac. There was no intraoperative and postoperative complications. This is a safe and effective technique in patients complicated with torn hernial sac during herniotomy. It reduces the risk of further tearing of hernial sac. Short duration is another advantage. This technique can also be performed with using surgical loupe or microscope to care not to damage the vas and vessels.","PeriodicalId":153630,"journal":{"name":"Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Tıp Dergisi","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139317051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite recent progress in diagnosis and treatment, persistent challenges highlight the urgent need for novel therapeutics and innovative approaches to combat lung cancer effectively. Accordingly, in the present study, we aimed to investigate the anticancer properties of potential inhibitors of HIF-1α, compound 7a and 7b. In the study, HTB-54 and BEAS-2B cell lines were used. MTT cell viability experiments were performed to determine the effect of newly synthesized HIF inhibitors 7a and 7b on cell viability under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Quantitative expression levels of HIF1A were determined by real-time PCR approach. While the half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) of compound 7a in HTB-54 cells was 10.37 µM under normoxic conditions, it was found to be 10.63 µM under hypoxic conditions. The IC50 value of another HIF inhibitor 7b in HTB-54 cells was found to be 8.80 µM under normoxic conditions and 9.54 µM under hypoxic conditions. The expression level of HIF1A was found to be lower in cells exposed to compounds 7a and 7b under hypoxia compared to the control group. Conversely, in normoxia, HIF1A expression level in cells exposed to compound 7a increased 6.5-fold compared to the control group, while it was found to increase approximately 9-fold when exposed to 7b. Consequently, both compound 7a and 7b holds great promise for future therapeutic interventions to lung cancer.","PeriodicalId":153630,"journal":{"name":"Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Tıp Dergisi","volume":"208 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139320721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study group was formed from mothers and children who volunteered to participate after the purpose and content of the study were explained. To determine the caries profile of primary dentition, dmft was used, and for permanent dentition, DMFT was used. In order to determine the living conditions of the family to which the mother and child belonged, as well as the mother's education level and employment status, they were asked to answer prepared questions. The results, consisting of the formed index after intraoral examination and answers to questions, were statistically evaluated using IBM SPSS v23.0 (IBM Corp. 2015, Armonk, NY, US). According to the results obtained, dmft index values showed no statistically significant difference between girls and boys, and it was determined that there was no difference in terms of the children's place of residence. Furthermore, no statistically significant relationship was found between the children's DMFT index values and their place of residence and the mother's employment status. However, it was observed that the mother's education level had a significant effect on the children's dmft and DMFT index values. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the mother's DMFT index value and the child's dmft index value. Additionally, it was statistically determined that the dmft index values of children with employed mothers significantly lower than those of children whose mothers unemployed. The study showed that the mother's level of being affected by decay, education level, and employment status were effective on the level of children being affected by tooth decay.
