Patients were called for follow-up at various time intervals. At the sixth month, the patient and parents were asked to rate their satisfaction with the operation on a scale of 1-10 and noted. Results: The mean age of the patients was 8.09±2.72 years. The antihelix was created with Mustardé technique, minimal medial conchal excisions were performed, two conchamastoid sutures were placed with Furnas technique. The mean follow-up period was 23.86±11.97 months. Complications developed in 4 of 44 ears (9%). Major complication rate was 4.5%. Two patients (4.5%) had suture extrusion in one ear. None of the patients scored lower than 7 in the satisfaction questionnaire. Conclusion: Otoplasty with a combination of cartilage-sparing techniques has low complication, revision, and high satisfaction rates. Minimal medial conchal cartilage excision in addition to this technique is beneficial in reducing the conchamastoid tension and does not increase the risk of complications.","PeriodicalId":43341,"journal":{"name":"Marmara Medical Journal","volume":"243 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135902478","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}

Urogenital TB was a frequent urological disease in the pre-antibiotic era: about 20% of patients in urological hospitals had renal TB, mostly in the form of pyonephrosis. We composed a narrative review of the literature with keywords “urogenital tuberculosis’, “prostate tuberculosis” “kidney tuberculosis”, “treatment of tuberculosis”. Urogenital TB (UGTB) includes TB of the kidney and the urinary tract and male and female genital TB. Each clinical presentation requires tailored antibiotic therapy depending on stage and general management. Anti-TB therapy should be multicomponent, continuous, long-lasting and controlled with a follow-up for 2-3 years. Otherwise, the risks of development of drug-resistance and relapse increase. Index of suspicion on UGTB is generally low, causing a delay in diagnosis; consequently, complicated forms of UGTB respond poorly to anti-TB therapy, while timely diagnosed “minor” forms are curable medically without surgery. Even with timely diagnosed UGTB, non-optimal therapy may result in over-fibrosis, scarring and strictures of the urinary tract, making surgical repair inevitable. Nevertheless, we have a wide enough spectrum of anti-TB drugs to cure urogenital TB.","PeriodicalId":43341,"journal":{"name":"Marmara Medical Journal","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135132529","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}

In this study, we investigated cognitive enhancer effects of S. triloba essential oil inhalation on healthy control rats and rats with scopolamine induced memory impairment. Materials and Methods: S. triloba samples from different geographical locations of Turkey were hydro-distilled and analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The optimum sample with the highest 1,8-cineole and lowest camphor, α-thujone and β-thujone content was selected. In vitro cholinergic and antioxidant potentials of the selected essential oil were calculated. Cognitive enhancer and anti-amnestic effects of the inhaled essential oil on rats were assessed by means of Morris water maze. The bioavailability of 1,8-cineole in blood of rats was measured by GC-MS. Results: The group that inhaled S. triloba significantly outperformed control group, namely faster achieving peak escape latency performance in Morris water maze.
