Is cancer risk reduced in multiple sclerosis? Results from a tertiary referral center
DISCUSSION: There was no statistically significant difference in age, gender, tobacco smoking, and BMI between the groups after propensity score matching. The odds of having cancer were lower in our MS patients compared to the controls. The autoimmune changes responsible for the pathogenesis of MS may be responsible for the decrease in cancer risk.PMID:38031938 | PMC:PMC10760532 | DOI:10.55730/1300-0144.5660 (Source: Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences)

The importance of skin prick test in differentiating cat sensitivities and allergies in children
DISCUSSION: The present study is the first to report the frequency and clinical findings of cat sensitizations and allergies in Turkish children. For effective treatment, cat allergy must be diagnosed. In this regard, the use of a practical, readily accessible 5.5 mm cut-off point on the SPT may be helpful.PMID:38031939 | PMC:PMC10760561 | DOI:10.55730/1300-0144.5650 (Source: Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences)

The effects of Pilates training on abdominal muscle thickness and core endurance in patients with Parkinson's disease: a single-blind controlled clinical study
This study aims at examining the effects of Pilates training on the transversus abdominis (TrA) and internal obliques (IO) muscle thickness and core endurance in different positions in patients with Parkinson's Disease.METHODS: Patients were divided into 2 groups as Pilates training (n = 13) and control (n = 10) groups. Pilates training was performed twice a week for 6 weeks. The participants' muscle thickness and core endurance were measured at the beginning of the study (pretraining), and the effectiveness of Pilates training was then assessed in the 6th week (posttraining) and in the 12th-week follow-up. The thickness o...

Radioprotective effects of melatonin and thymoquinone on liver, parotid gland, brain, and testis of rats exposed to total body irradiation
This study aimed to investigate thymoquinone (TQ), and melatonin's radioprotective effects on liver, parotid gland, brain, and testis of rats which were exposed to total body irradiation (IR).METHODS: Thirty adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups that are Group 1 (control group): total body IR only, Group 2: IR-Melatonin (10 mg/kg), Group 3: IR-TQ (10 mg/kg), and Group 4 (sham group): nothing. Total body IR dose was 6 Gy. Tissue samples were taken 90 min after IR. The measurements of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were performed in all groups.RESULTS...

Melanocytic tumors with spitzoid morphology: correlation of clinicopathologic features and FISH analysis
This study is a multicentric retrospective study including three centers, İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa School of Medicine, Department of Pathology, Acıbadem University, School of Medicine, Department of Pathology and ETA Pathology Laboratory. The pathology reports in archives of these three centers between 2015 and 2017 have been reviewed for cases diagnosed as atypical Spitz tumor or melanoma with Spitzoid features. These cases were selected for the study. We analyzed 39 cases of atypical Spitz tumor (AST), 10 cases of melanomas with spitzoid features for clinicopathological data and chromosomal alterati...

Retrospective analysis of children diagnosed with Kawasaki disease
DISCUSSION: In our study, serum CRP levels, WBC count, and neutrophil count were higher in patients with coronary artery abnormalities, in agreement with the previous studies. In the light of our results, we consider that the most important determining factor for the development of coronary artery aneurysm is the time of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration.PMID:38031949 | PMC:PMC10760559 | DOI:10.55730/1300-0144.5662 (Source: Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences)
