1. Syndecan-1 as a marker to predict acute kidney injury after isolated coronary artery bypass graft operations
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Postoperative acute kidney injury is an important problem that can occur after coronary artery bypass graft operations, and it is important to identify risky patient groups preoperatively. This study aimed to investigate the importance of preoperative syndecan-1 levels in predicting acute kidney injury after elective coronary artery bypas

2. Clinical implications of Golgi protein 73 and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and their related factors in children with bronchopneumonia
Abstract Objective: To investigate the clinical implications of Golgi glycoprotein 73 (GP73) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in children with bronchopneumonia (BP). Methods: Seventy-two children with BP (observation group) and 81 healthy children (control group) consecutively brought to the present study's hospital between June 2019 and O

3. Inkk Trial - Intraoperative ketamine for perioperative pain management following total knee endoprosthetic replacement in oncology: a double-blinded randomized trial
Abstract Background There has been a growing interest in the use of ketamine following orthopedic surgeries. We hypothesized that low dose intravenous ketamine during surgery would help in mobilization following total knee replacement (TKR) in oncology patients as assessed by the timed to up and go (TUG) test at 72 hours post-surgery. Our secondary objectiv

4. Systemic immune-inflammation index as a novel predictor of atrial fibrillation after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the predictive role of systemic immune-inflammation index on postoperative new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS: A total of 722 patients undergoing elective off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting between January 2017 and September 2021 were inc

5. An easy and practical prognostic parameter: tumor–stroma ratio in Luminal, Her2, and triple-negative breast cancers
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The stroma surrounding the tumor cells is important in tumor progression and treatment resistance, besides the properties of tumor cells. Studies on the tumor stroma characteristics will contribute to the knowledge for new treatment approaches. METHODS: A total of 363 breast cancer patients were evaluated for the tumor–stroma ratio. Th

6. Braden scale for predicting pneumonia after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Stroke-associated pneumonia is an infection that commonly occurs in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and causes serious burdens. In this study, we evaluated the validity of the Braden scale for predicting stroke-associated pneumonia after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS: Patients with spontaneous intracere

7. Analysis of the related risk factors of inguinal lymph node metastasis in patients with penile cancer: A cross-sectional study
ABSTRACT Purpose: To determine independent predictors of inguinal lymph node (ILN) metastasis in patients with penile cancer. Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed all patients with penile cancer who underwent surgery at our medical center in the last ten years (n=157). Using univariate and multivariate logistic-regression models, we assessed a

8. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios of overweight children and adolescents
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio of overweight children and adolescents with the eutrophic ratios and to verify whether these ratios are associated with age, inflammation, Z-score of body mass index, and waist-to-height ratio. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study involving 64

9. Drug-induced Sleep Endoscopy: Are there Predictors for Failure of Oral Appliance Treatment?
Abstract Introduction In the literature, evidence is lacking on the predictive value of druginduced sleep endoscopy (DISE) for oral appliance treatment (OAT). Objectives The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether DISE with concomitant mandibular advancement maneuver can predict failure of OAT. Methods An observational retrospective study includin

10. Wnt3a but not CDX-2 expression is associated with differentiated thyroid cancer
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Thyroid neoplasm incidence has increased worldwide, mostly due to the advancements in medical imaging and screening rates. The aberrant Wnt/β-catenin pathway has been identified as a key mechanism, and it has also been related to the metastatic activity of differentiated thyroid cancer. We aimed to verify the difference in the expression

11. Impact of Single versus Double Clamp Technique on Blood Lactate Levels and Postoperative Complications in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Abstract Introduction: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with hyperlactatemia, which leads to adverse clinical outcomes. No study has examined the effect of different clamping techniques on postoperative hyperlactatemia (PHL). Thus, we aimed to evaluate the impact of two different techniques on PHL and the clinical outcomes in patients undergoing i
