The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological and topographic anatomy of the RRA.\u0000Methods: The study was conducted on 20 human cadavers (14 male and 6 female, 40 upper limbs). The RRA was classified into 4 groups as follows according to the observed origin: RRA originated from the radial artery (RA) (Type A), the root of the RA (Type B), the brachial artery (BA) (Type C), and the ulnar artery (UA). The relative positioning of the RRA in relation to the biceps brachii muscle tendon (TBB), in terms of the antero-posterior direction was determined. The vertical distance of the origin point of the RRA to the intercondylar line and the diameters of this artery were determined. Morphometric evaluation was performed with a digital caliper. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.00 software.\u0000Results: The artery most commonly originated from the RA (Type A 47.5%, 19 extremities). This was followed by RA root (Type B 32.5%, 13 extremities), BA (Type C 17.5%, 7 extremities), and UA (Type D 2.5%, 1 extremity). The RRAs coursed anteriorly to the TBB in 38 extremities (95%) and passed behind the tendon in 2 extremities (5%). The vertical distance of the origin point of the RRA to the intercondylar line was meanly 32.20 ±6.86 mm.

The interaction of HP/DSs with drugs with a narrow therapeutic index such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, and valproic acid, may cause problems in treatment. In this respect, it is very important to determine the use of HP/DS in children with neurological diseases and/or complaints. In this study, it was aimed to determine the use of HP/DS and the factors affecting the use of these products in individuals with a neurological complaint and/or disease who applied to the pediatric neurology outpatient clinic. Methods: Parents were questioned face-to-face as part of the descriptive questionnaire research. 174 questionnaires with appropriate data quality were included in the study. The statistical software tool SPSS 23.0 was used to analyze the data. Results: 44.6% of the parents stated that they gave HP/DS to their children. The findings of the analysis showed that kids whose parents use HP/DS are more likely to utilize these items themselves (p<0.001). The most commonly used products are linden (70.1%), bee products (26.0%), carob (18.2%), chamomile (13.0%), and lemon (13.0%).  It has been determined that the reasons for parents to have their children use HP/DS are to strengthen the immune system (51.9%), improve general health status (40.3%), and supplement normal nutrition (27.3%), respectively. Conclusions: This study revealed a high frequency of HP/DS use in children with pediatric neurological diseases/complaints in Türkiye. The frequency of HP/DS use was higher in children whose parents tended to consume HP/DS. Considering the high use of these products, healthcare professionals need to inform parents to prevent adverse effects caused by HP/DS.","PeriodicalId":42642,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Therapeutics","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139259402","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 effects of increased apelin and APJ as an indicator of damage in inflammatory conditions or as a compensatory mechanism are not fully clear in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study was designed to assess the role of APJ in 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis model. Methods: Colitis in adult male Wistar rats were induced by intrarectally administered TNBS (30 mg b.w. in 50% ethanol). While the control group was treated with only saline to the colon, the TNBS+F13A and F13A groups received the APJ antagonist F13A (30 µg/kg/day, i.v.) for 3 days, starting immediately after TNBS or saline administration, respectively. Results: A decrease in body weight and an increase in colon weight/length ratio and stool consistency score were observed in the TNBS group. TNBS caused an increase in the myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and the number of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), as well as apelin production, leading to mucosal ulceration, necrosis, and submucosal edema in the colon. While F13A administration to the control did not cause any change in the colon, F13A administration immediately after TNBS greatly reduced the effects of TNBS. Conclusion: APJ is involved in the development of damage in colitis induced by TNBS. F13A reduces the level of damage, inflammatory cell infiltration, and MPO enzyme activity. APJ may be a therapeutic target in IBD.","PeriodicalId":42642,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Therapeutics","volume":"55 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139256278","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}

Currently, the curative treatment option is resection of the tumor with adequate length and margin along with complete dissection of lymph nodes draining the site of resection. Our study investigated into retrieving adequate lymph nodes for accurate staging as well as the relationship between lymph nodes and colon and rectum specimen length. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study examined the correlation between resected colon length and lymph node count in people with colorectal cancer diagnosed between January 2010 and June 2018. We defined a cutoff value for the segment length to be resected to allow adequate staging of the tumor. Furthermore, we examined the relationship between the resected segment lengths and survival. Results: Of the patients who were included in this study, 211 were men and 169 were women. The mean resected colon length was 26.47±17.09 cm and the mean dissected lymph node count was 29.05±20.84. There was a positive correlation between specimen length and total lymph node count as well as specimen length and the existence of reactive lymph nodes that were statistically significant (r=0.319, p=0.001; r=0.312, p=0.001, respectively). In our study, tumor localization was described in three regions: the right colon, left colon and rectum. The mean right colon region specimen length was 28.8±15.5 cm, while it was 22.0±11.0 cm for the left colon region, and 21.7±10.6 cm for the rectum region. The 5-year overall survival rate was 53.2%, whereas the 5-year disease-specific survival rate was 58.2%. Conclusion: The mean specimen length to achieve the cutoff value for adequate lymph node retrieval (least 12 lymph nodes) was 16 cm in our study (ROC curve, AUC=0.689±0.05, p=0.001).

However, their hyperuricemic effect restricts their use in patients with gout. Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) initiation lowers serum uric acid (SUA) levels. It is not known whether existing SGLT-2i use affects the SUA increasing effect of thiazides. Methods: Post-hoc data analysis of our published study was conducted. Hypertensive patients who were initiated on thiazide diuretics or whose dose escalated were included (thiazide exposure). Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were acquired via an electronic database. Patients were grouped according to SGLT-2i presence at the time of thiazide exposure. Since the number of SGLT-2i users was low, bootstrapping via simple random sampling was performed. Results: 144 patients were included in the study, of whom 13 were on SGLT-2i. Initial sample analysis revealed that while baseline SUA levels were similar between groups, SUA change was significantly lower after thiazide exposure among patients receiving SGLT-2i (0.6 vs. 0.2, p = 0.039). Similarly, baseline SUA levels were similar, but SUA change after thiazide exposure was significantly lower among patients receiving SGLT-2 on bootstrapped data (0.13 [-0.25 - 0.57, 95%CI], vs. 0.61 [0.45 - 0.78, 95%CI], mean difference = 0.48, [0.04 - 0.91, 95%CI], p = 0.029). Conclusion: This study revealed that thiazide diuretics may be a safe anti-hypertensive medication in terms of hyperuricemia among patients using SGLT-2i.

Besides low portal blood flow, thrombophilia, bacterial translocation and endotoxemia, platelets which are considered as important source of prothrombotic agents may play a role in thrombotic events in cirrhosis. Large platelets have been reported to have numerous granules that result in greater thrombotic and proinflammatory activity. We aimed to define the role of platelet indices in PVT among cirrhotic patients. Method: Cirrhotic patients admitted to Gastroenterology Clinic and having a dynamic radiological examination were assessed retrospectively. Demographic and laboratory findings were recorded including platelet distribution width (PDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV). Severity of cirrhosis was assessed with MELD (Model for End Stage Liver Disease) and Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) scores Results: Study included 255 patients. Mean age was 60.6±10.2 years. 41.6% of patients were female. 50 (19.6%) patients had PVT. Patients with PVT did not differed from those without PVT in age, gender and presence of diabetes mellitus. Median platelet count was lower in patients with PVT (100 (22-370) vs 79,5 (22-573), p: 0,033). Mean MPV and PDW levels were similar between PVT and non-PVT groups (p &gt;0.05). Although median MELD scores did not differ between groups, median CPT scores were significantly higher in PVT compared to non-PVT group (p:0,027). Conclusion: Cirrhotic patients with PVT had more prominent thrombocytopenia, but similar MPV and PDW levels compared to those without PVT.","PeriodicalId":42642,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Therapeutics","volume":"40 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135475716","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}
