Ovarıan Granulosa Cell Tumors: Evaluatıon of Clınıcal, Outcome and Reccurence Factors

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.354

Synopsis:

The aim of the study was to determine the predictors for poor prognosis and to find out the effect of treatment strategies on survival functions in 37 cases of granulosa cell tumor diagnosis. Tumor differentiation is found to be a significant confounder for the disease recurrence after adjustment for the stage.

ABSTRACT

Objective: We aimed to determine the predictors for poor prognosis and to find out the effect of treatment strategies on survival functions

Methods: Thirty seven women with granulosa cell tumor were enrolled for the study between 2000 and 2013. All data was obtained from hospital prospectively collected databese.

A Retrospective Study of the Inpatient Investigations and Management Performed in Acute Bronchiolitis in a Community Hospital

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.364

Synopsis:

Bronchiolitis is the most common cause of hospitalization during the first twelve months of life. This study was undertaken to assess the diagnostic and management practices for bronchiolitis in a community hospital. Also, to try and determine the beginning of the respiratory syncytial (RSV) season in order to initiate palivizumab (synagis) prophylaxis in high risk patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To review the management/investigations performed in acute bronchiolitis.

Method: A retrospective study was conducted on 75 infants with clinical symptoms of bronchiolitis. Demographic and clinical data on the infants and compliance with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) British Thoracic Society/ Scottish Intercollegiate (BTS/SIGN) Guidelines were examined.

Correlation between Anaemia and Hepcidin-25 and Interleukin 6 Levels in Early Stage and Advanced Chronic Renal Disease

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.338

Synopsis:

This manuscript examines the correlation between anaemia and hepcidin-25, interleukin (IL 6), C-reactive protein (CRP), Hs CRP, iron, other iron parameters in chronic renal disease. In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), there are alternative tests available that may provide a diagnosis of iron deficiency but they are not widely used in practice.

ABSTRACT

Background: Anemia is very commonly seen complication in the patients with chronic renal disease (CRD). This is thought to result from decreased renal excretion of the hepcidin and chronic inflammatory process. Our study aimed to investigate the correlation between hemoglobin (Hb) and hepcidin levels in all stages starting from stage 2 CRD.

Synopsis:

Intraoral lipoma is a very rare, benign, mesenchymal tumour which represents only 1–4% of all head and neck lipomas. Herein, we present eight cases of intraoral lipomas, emphasizing the rarity of this lesion in the oral cavity.

ABSTRACT

Objective: About 20% of lipomas are seen in the head and neck region among which oral lipomas constitute only 1-4%.Our aim was to investigate oral lipomas from two institutes in Turkey.

Study design: Pathology material including reports and slides between 2007 and 2014 were retrieved.
