MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data at the Turkey-based publications, which have at least one anatomy specialist identified and have been published in journals at the ISI Web of Science database and covered by the Science Citation Index (SCI) and SCI-E (Expanded), were screened. The time period for the study was between the years 2000 and 2014. Number of publications by year, rate of increase in the number of publications, classification of broadcast (articles, papers, etc.), category of publications, and their citation rates were recorded. We evaluated the top 10 journals which have the most comprising publications and the top 10 universities which facilitated these publications. RESULTS: Since 2000, we reached a total of 1390 publications in the field of anatomy. These publications comprised of 1273 original articles, 35 meeting ...

Patients and methods A total of 69 healthy volunteers were included in the study and classified into three groups based on their hypermobility severity determined with Beighton-Horan hypermobility index scores. Of those, 29 participants were non-hypermobile, 13 participants were mildly hypermobile and remaining 27 patients had severe hypermobility. Postural control of the participants was evaluated by using the Tetrax® device in eight different positions. The stability index, Fourier index, weight distribution index, and synchronization index scores of each participant were recorded. Results We found that the participants with severe hypermobility exhibited significantly higher stability index scores while the position of the head is extended and rotated right. The weight distribution index on elastic surfaces was impaire...

These events manifest as systemic inflammatory response syndrome or sepsis symptoms through the release of proinflammatory cytokines, procoagulants, and adhesion molecules from immune cells and/or damaged endothelium. Today, sepsis is a severe multisystem disease with difficult treatments for its manifestations and high mortality rates. In the last two decades in particular, many studies have been conducted on sepsis that cause shock, multiorgan dysfunction, and organ failure by especially leading to hemodynamic changes. In sepsis, increasing antibiotic resistance and medicine-resistant hemodynamic changes have resulted in further research on new treatment modalities in addition to classical treatments. In the last decade, the sepsis physiopathology has been elucidated. Various therapeutic agents have been used in addition to antibiotherapy, but no satisfactory results have been obtained. This review summarizes the sepsis pathophysiology, current treatment protocols, and new approaches.

Medulla oblongata, arteria vertebralis and nervus accessorius spinal part pass through the foramen magnum. In this study, we aimed to make the morphometric measurements of the foramen magnum on computed tomography (CT) and to determine the feasibility of sex determination based on these measurements. Besides sex determination, from a clinical aspect, it is important to know the measurements of the foramen magnum in the normal population in terms of diseases characterised by displacement of the posterior fossa structures through foramen magnum to upper cervical spinal canal such as Chiari malformations and syringomyelia. Materials and methods: All the data for our study was obtained retrospectively from 100 patients (50 males, 50 females) who had a CT scan of the head and neck region in Adnan Menderes University Hospital, Department of Radiology. To examine the foramen magnum in each and every occipital bone, we measured the foramen magnum's anteroposterior diameter, transverse diameter, the area of the foramen magnum and its circumference. Results: We found that men have a higher average value than women in our study. According to Student's t-test results; in all measured parameters, there is significant difference between the genders (p < 0.05). When multivariate discriminant function test is performed for all four measurements, the discrimination rate is 64% for all women, 70% for all men and 67% for both genders. Conclusions: As a result of our study, the metric data we obtained will be useful in cases where the skeletons' sex could not be determined by any other methods. We believe that, our study may be useful for other studies in determining of sex from foramen magnum. Our measurements could give some information of the normal ranges of the foramen magnum in normal population, so that this can contribute to the diagnosis process of some diseases by imaging.

RESULTS: Since 2000, we reached a total of 1390 publications in the field of anatomy. These publications comprised of 1273 original articles, 35 meeting presentations, 32 abstracts, 27 letters to the editor, and 23 compilations. With respect to the number of publications, there is a gradual decrease in recent years, despite a significant increase observed in the year 2009. In Turkey, the most published and cited categories are surgical anatomy, morphology, and neuroscience. The top three journals with the highest number of publications are Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, Saudi Medical Journal, and Clinical Anatomy. The top three publishing institutions are Ankara University, Hacettepe University, and Ege University. CONCLUSION: Our study provides us an understanding of the topics anatomists have favored to study in recent years. A large number of published research articles are about surgical anatomy, morphology, and neuroscience. Obviously, the quality of publications and their number of citations are more important than their scalar quantity. We believe that future studies should focus on the multidisciplinary areas with more citation prospects.

In addition, to study the anatomical variations of vertebral artery entering the transverse foramen of the cervical vertebrae. The images of 141 (90 males, 51 females) patients aged between 18-79 years (mean: 52.7 years) were analyzed. As a result, 987 cervical spines (C1-C7) and 1974 foramen transversariums were individually evaluated. Each FT's anterior-posterior (AP) and transverse diameter was measured bilaterally from multidetector computed tomography (CT) images.The absence of TF as agenesis and a diameter of less than 2 mm was considered to be hypoplastic. Double foramina and incomplete double foramina were also noted. We evaluated the levels at which the vertebral arteries entered the transverse foramina. TThe most frequent variation was duplication of TF, which was noted in a total of 88 (8.91%) cervical vertebrae. Agenesia of TF was seen in 37 (3.74%), and hypoplasia of...
