Bu çalışmadaki amacımız Meme Koruyucu Cerrahi (MKC) + SLNB uygulanan hastalarda uzun dönemli takiplerde nüks oranlarını ve bunu etkileyen faktörleri saptamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamıza 2006 ile 2011 tarihleri arasında erken evre meme kanseri nedeniyle MKC ve SLNB uygulanan 171 hasta dâhil edildi. Hastaların 62'sinde sentinel lenf nodu (SLN) pozitif gelmesi üzerine level 1-2 aksiller diseksiyon uygulandı. SLNB (-) ve (+) gelen iki hasta grubu ortalama 36 ay klinik ve radyolojik olarak takip edildi. Her iki gruptaki loko-rejyonel nüks ve metastaz oranları karşılaştırıldı. Literatür desteği ile aksiller lenf nodu pozitifliğini ve loko-rejyonel nüksü etkileyebilecek faktörler olarak; hastaların yaşı, menopozal durumu, tümör lokalizasyonu, tümör histolojisi, SLN boyutu, östrojen-progesteron reseptörü, c-erb-B2 pozitifliği, tümör grade'i, ekstensif intraduktal komponent (EİC) varlığı, tümör boyutu ve lenfovasküler invazyon (LVİ) varlığı incelendi. Bulgular: Yüz yetmiş bir hasta ortalama 36 ay takip edildi. SLNB (-) olan grupta ameliyattan 25 ay sonra 1 hastada aksiller nüks geliştiği saptandı, nüks oranı % 0,92'dir. SLNB (-) olan grupta lokal nüks saptanmadı. SLNB (+) gelip ALND uygulanan grupta aksiller nüks saptanmazken, 4 hastada (% 5,84) lokal nüks saptandı. On sekiz hastamızda da uzak organ metastazı belirlendi. Lokal nüks SLNB (-) olan grupta anlamlı olarak daha az iken, aksiller nüks ve uzak organ metastazı açısından iki grup arasında anlamlı fark saptanmadı. Tümör boyutu (p=0.002), LVİ varlığı (p<0.001), hastalığın evresi (p<0.001) ve SLN boyutu (p=0.014) SLN pozitifliğini etkileyen faktörler olarak saptandı. Sonuç: SLNB lokorejyonal nüks ve uzak organ metastazı açısından ALND kadar güvenilir bir yöntemdir.

Methods: This study assessed 419 gardening injuries that were admitted to the emergency department of Giresun University Prof. Dr. Ilhan Özdemir Training and Research Hospital between June 30, 2015 and November 1, 2015. We retrospectively examined all the documents, x-rays, tomographies, and tomography reports related to the cases. Results: Falls from a height (19.3%), falls (31.5%), foreign body crashes (FBCs) (14.8%), sharp-penetrating object injuries (SPOIs) (29.8%), and motorized/motorless device injuries (MMDIs) (4.5%) were the major categories of gardening injuries. Most of the falls from a height were from a tree (86%), primarily fig trees (54.3%). SPOIs primarily affected the hand-wrist area with 82 cases (65.6%); the most common sharp tools that caused injury were sickle-scythes (47.2%) and axes (35.2%). FBCs frequently affected the eyes (48.4%) and head region (17.7%), and tree branches were the most common foreign bodies causing such crashes (38.7%). MMDIs were caused primarily by haymaker harvester machines (42%). Three cases died (0.7%), and 305 cases (72.8%) were discharged after emergency treatment. Additionally, 115 cases (27.5%) were hospitalized, 11 cases underwent urgent surgery, and 63 cases underwent elective surgery. Using uncuttable gloves, socks, and knee-guards could prevent 88% of SPOIs. Furthermore, eyewear and head guards could prevent 60.1% of FBC injuries.The usage of fall arrest equipment particularly for only fig and pear tree types could prevent 68.6% of the falls from a tree. Conclusions: Gardening injuries are significant traumas in agricultural regions. By implementing simple and cheap security measures, we can prevent destrucitive traumas.

Epithelioid schwannoma can be described as a benign nerve sheath tumour of peripheral nerves. Ossifying fibromyxoid tumour is considered to be a intermediate malignant soft tissue tumour with the potential for recurrence and metastasis. Because the prognosis of these two tumoral entities are different from each other differential diagnosis is important. In this article, our purpose is to present a case, on what we initially considered to be epithelioid schwannoma. However, we later observed, based on the data in the literature, that the tumour appeared to be an ossifying fibromyxoid tumour.

In this study we aim to bridge the gap between Afghan immigrants and naive Turkish population by identifying HBV, HCV and HIV profiles. In addition, a large number of laboratory parameters was collected for all participants, including hematologic and biochemical test results. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective review of laboratory records at a tertiary center in Northern Turkey from January 1, 2018, to April 15, 2018. Our population based study comprising hospital data of 403 Afghan refugees and 400 naive Turkish citizens. Results: Afghan refugees had higher anti-HIV seropositivity than Turkish citizens (p < 0.05). There were no difference between the two groups according to HbsAg and anti-HCV seropositivity. Also Afghan refugees had statistically lower ALT levels, higher hemoglobin levels and higher mean TSH level (p < 0.05). Mean T4 level did not show significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: We need further investigations to find out the risk of infections that originated from immigration.

The first case was a woman with a large cystic papillary lesion of the distal pancreas. The other patient was a woman with a pancreatic mass on the tail of the pancreas. Both patients were operated on using SPLDP. Five trocars were used in the first case and four trocars were used in the second case. Thirty degree telescope visualization and LigaSure dissection were used during the operation. The splenic vessels were dissected, but the short gastric vessels were preserved. The pancreas was transected by one Endo GIA stapler and the cut edge of the pancreas was reinforced with sutures to prevent a pancreatic fistula. We performed the same technique in both cases. However, in the first case, we aspirated the content of the cystic mass of the pancreas before removing it to avoid making a large incision. The duration of the operation was 190 and 135 minutes, respectively. There were no postoperative complications. SPLDP is a safe, effective modality for managing lesions of the distal pancreas. If the splenic vessels are transected, the short gastric vessels must be protected to ensure the viability of the spleen.

Between January 2007 and October 2010, preoperative D-dimer levels were evaluated in 142 consecutive operable breast cancer, receiving axillary lymph node dissection, either preoperatively planned (41) or after sentinel node biopsy (SNB) (101). Forty-one (41) patients were candidate to quadrantectomy or mastectomy plus axillary dissection, not satisfying eligibility criteria for SNB procedure. In second group, 101 patients were candidate for conservative treatment following SNB procedure. Patients with positive SN (22) received standard axillary dissection. In order to determine a threshold in D-dimer levels distinguishing between subjects with involved lymph-nodes and subjects with no lymph-nodal involvement, a ROC curve analysis was performed on both the whole sample and subgroups identified according to surgical procedure. No difference was found between patients with negative or positive lymph nodes, either in case of axillary dissection or after SNB procedure. The hypothesis that D-dimer level might be related to breast cancer clinical stage is not supported.

In our clinic between May 1993 and October 2011 the results of 101 patients who underwent surgery for common bile duct stone were retrospectively evaluated. Among 101 patients who were included in the study, 45 had symptomatic gallstones accompanied by common bile duct stone, 27 had mechanical icterus, 15 had common bile duct stone and 8 had cholangitis (five patients with suppurative cholangitis), six had acute cholecystitis. Thirthy one patients with common bile duct stones were treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Surgical procedures were as follows; choledochoduodenostomy in 50 cases, T-tube drainage in 17 patients and transduodenal sphincteroplasty in three patients. Synchronous cholecystectomies were performed in all patients who had not undergone biliary surgery before. Early postoperative mortality was 3.9%. In this study, we detected choledocholithiasis in 11.31% of the all symptomatic cholelithiasis cases. Since our clinic provide tertiary healthcare, this rate becomes 9.85% by excluding those who underwent cholecystectomy for common bile duct stones at other hospitals. Given that the patients who referred to our clinic are in high-risk group, the actual rate of choledocholithiasis in our society is expected to be slightly below that value.

The first case was a woman with a large cystic papillary lesion of the distal pancreas. The other patient was a woman with a pancreatic mass on the tail of the pancreas. Both patients were operated on using SPLDP. Five trocars were used in the first case and four trocars were used in the second case. Thirty degree telescope visualization and LigaSure dissection were used during the operation. The splenic vessels were dissected, but the short gastric vessels were preserved. The pancreas was transected by one Endo GIA stapler and the cut edge of the pancreas was reinforced with sutures to prevent a pancreatic fistula. We performed the same technique in both cases. However, in the first case, we aspirated the content of the cystic mass of the pancreas before removing it to avoid making a large incision. The duration of the operation was 190 and 135 minutes, respectively. There were no postoperative complications. SPLDP is a safe, effective modality for managing lesions of the distal pancreas. If the splenic vessels are transected, the short gastric vessels must be protected to ensure the viability of the spleen.

Between January 2007 and October 2010, preoperative D-dimer levels were evaluated in 142 consecutive operable breast cancer, receiving axillary lymph node dissection, either preoperatively planned (41) or after sentinel node biopsy (SNB) (101). Forty-one (41) patients were candidate to quadrantectomy or mastectomy plus axillary dissection, not satisfying eligibility criteria for SNB procedure. In second group, 101 patients were candidate for conservative treatment following SNB procedure. Patients with positive SN (22) received standard axillary dissection. In order to determine a threshold in D-dimer levels distinguishing between subjects with involved lymph-nodes and subjects with no lymph-nodal involvement, a ROC curve analysis was performed on both the whole sample and subgroups identified according to surgical procedure. No difference was found between patients with negative or positive lymph nodes, either in case of axillary dissection or after SNB procedure. The hypothesis that D-dimer level might be related to breast cancer clinical stage is not supported.

In our clinic between May 1993 and October 2011 the results of 101 patients who underwent surgery for common bile duct stone were retrospectively evaluated. Among 101 patients who were included in the study, 45 had symptomatic gallstones accompanied by common bile duct stone, 27 had mechanical icterus, 15 had common bile duct stone and 8 had cholangitis (five patients with suppurative cholangitis), six had acute cholecystitis. Thirthy one patients with common bile duct stones were treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Surgical procedures were as follows; choledochoduodenostomy in 50 cases, T-tube drainage in 17 patients and transduodenal sphincteroplasty in three patients. Synchronous cholecystectomies were performed in all patients who had not undergone biliary surgery before. Early postoperative mortality was 3.9%. In this study, we detected choledocholithiasis in 11.31% of the all symptomatic cholelithiasis cases. Since our clinic provide tertiary healthcare, this rate becomes 9.85% by excluding those who underwent cholecystectomy for common bile duct stones at other hospitals. Given that the patients who referred to our clinic are in high-risk group, the actual rate of choledocholithiasis in our society is expected to be slightly below that value.
