Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated 59 patients who underwent marginal and wide resection for giant lipomas (21 were females and 15 were males) and low-grade liposarcomas (14 were females and 9 were males). Pre-biopsy radiological signs were investigated using magnetic resonance images. The pre and postoperative functional results were evaluated using the Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI), Lower Extremity Functional Index (LEFS), and visual analogue scale (VAS). The functional results were evaluated according to the marginal and wide resection of these lesions. Results: The preoperative radiologic signs revealed no significant correlations between the thin septa with the giant lipoma or low-grade liposarcoma. However, a significant correlation was determined between the thick septa and globular area with low-grade liposarcoma and homogeneous mass with giant lipoma. Postoperative mid-term UEFI, LEFS, and VAS of the marginal and wide resection were significantly better than the preoperative functional results in both lesions. No differences were found between the preoperative and postoperative mid-term functional results in the marginal and wide resections of either lesion. Local recurrence was detected in four patients with low-grade liposarcoma who underwent marginal resection. Conclusion: Therefore, thick septa, confluent globular area, and nonadipose mass are distinctive for low-grade liposarcoma, and homogeneous mass is distinctive for giant lipoma. Moreover, it would be more appropriate to treat low-grade liposarcomas with wide surgical resection. (n=9) was performed in mild and moderate thin septa and wide resection (n=14) in globular area, moderate and pronounced thick septa, and mild, thick septa with moderate or pronounced thin septa.","PeriodicalId":56162,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Academic Research in Medicine-JAREM","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48279689","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}

Methods: One hundred and five patients who were diagnosed with cerebrovascular disease and received thrombolytic or thrombectomy treatment were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups as patients who developed complications and who did not develop complications. Demographical characteristics, laboratory findings, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores at admission and at discharge, and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score were investigated retrospectively. Results: Of all patients, 58.1% of the were male. There were no differences in terms of laboratory parameters between the groups. NIHSS score at admission, NIHSS score at discharge, and mRS score were significantly higher in the group that developed complications after treatment (p<0.05).

ÖZ Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı alerjik rinit (AR) hastalığının uyku kalitesi üzerine olan etkilerinin incelenmesidir. Yöntemler: Bu çalışma prospektif olarak yapılmıştır. Tüm denekler AR semptomları varlığı açısından sorgulanmış ve deri prick testleri (SPT) yapılmıştır. AR semptomları olan ve SPT’leri pozitif olarak gelen 65 erkek hasta AR grubuna alınmıştır. Altmış beş sağlıklı erkek gönüllü ise çalışmaya kontrol grubu olarak dahil edilmiştir. Uyku kaliteleri Uyku Kalitesi Skalası (SQS) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Hasta grubuna rinitlerinden uykularının etkilenip etkilenmediği sorulmuştur. Etkilendiğini belirtenlere hangi AR semptomlarından etkilendikleri sorulmuştur. SQS skoları ve semptomların uyku kalitesi üzerine etkileri istatistiksel olarak incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Ortalama SQS skorları AR hastalarında 68,68±13,15 olarak, kontrol grubunda ise 47,72±9,3 olarak tespit edilmiştir. SQS skoru AR grubunda kontrol grubuna kıyasla istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulunmuştur (p=0,002, p<0,05). Otuz (%46,1) hasta AR’den uykularının etkilendiğini belirtmiştir. Bu hastaların uyku kalitesini etkileyen semptomların dağılımına bakıldığında, uyku kalitesini etkileyen en yaygın semptom olarak konjesyon tespit edilmiş ve diğer semptomlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek sıklıkta saptanmıştır (p=0,0001, p<0,05). Sonuç: AR, kötü uyku kalitesi için bir risk faktörüdür. Uyku bozukluğu olan hastalar AR açısından sorgulanmalı ve gerekli tedaviye ulaşmaları sağlanmalıdır.

Methods: This prospective study evaluated the AR symptoms and skin prick tests (SPT) in all participants. The AR group was composed of 65 male patients with AR symptoms and positive SPT, whereas the control group was composed of 65 healthy male individuals. SQ was evaluated using the Sleep Quality Scale (SQS). The AR group was asked whether AR affects their sleep, and those who answered yes were asked for the symptoms that affect their SQ. The SQS scores and the effect of symptoms on SQ were statistically compared. Results: The mean SQS score of the groups was 68.68±13.15 in the AR group and 47.72±9.3 in the control group. The SQS score was significantly higher in the AR group compared to that of the control group (p=0.002, p<0.05). Of the patients, 30 (46.1%) had their sleep affected. The distribution of symptoms, which affect the SQ of these patients, was determined. Congestion is the most common symptom that affects the SQ, which was statistically significantly higher compared to other symptoms (p=0.0001, p<0.05).
