    (Trakya Üniversitesi, 2018) Şenyiğit, Ece; Söyleyici, Begüm; İşkan, Nur Gülce; Çifcibaşı, Hilal Sena; Göztepe, Aslı; Çiftdemir, Mert
    Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the data belonging to patients who were diagnosed with benign or malignant soft tissue and bone tumors and tumor-like lesions evaluated by musculoskeletal tumor study group of Trakya University Faculty of Medicine in between January 2013 and June 2017 and the relationship between the frequency of benign, malignant bone and soft tissue tumors and tumor-like lesions, with the patients’ age and gender. Methods: The data of 687 patients who were evaluated by the musculoskeletal tumor study group of Trakya University Faculty of Medicine between January 2013- June 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. All of the data was analyzed by using SPSS. Chi-square analysis was used to obtain categorical data in order to point out the distribution of age and gender of patients with musculoskeletal system tumors and tumor-like lesions. Results: The number of patients over the period from January 2013 to June 2017 was 687. The number of patients who were evaluated by biopsy and acquired histopathologic confirmation of their condition was 341. The mean of patients’ ages was 44.3±21.4 (4-92). Among 341 patients, 106 (47.1%) patients were female and 119 (52.9%) patients were male. The mean of females’ ages was 43.7±20.4 (4-92). The mean of males’ ages was 44.7±22.4 (5-90). Conclusion: Benign bone and soft tissue tumors were more common than malignant tumors. Benign bone tumors were predominantly seen in young adults. Our results was consistent with the literature however due to some patients who did not need a pathological sampling, our sample size was smaller than intended. With better archived information, more consistent results could be obtained in further studies.

    Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy Without Facial Symptoms
    (Trakya Üniversitesi, 2014) Ünyılmaz, Cihan; Taşdemir, Altan
    Introduction: Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a progressive muscular dystrophy which starts with shoulder and face muscles involvement and rarely spreads to pelvic muscles. It has autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, serum CK levels are normal or mildly high, and EMG is myopathic. Case report:We present the 43 year old male patient with pain, numbness and weakness in cervical area and both arms for 1 year. His mother has similar symptoms as well. His cervical spinal nerve EMG results were found normal. Results:EMG results were found normal. Our patient had the defect of closing eyelids or pressing them based on faced muscles involvement just like regular FSHD cases. Because of the atrophy of lower face muscles, lips seemed to be fuller. On the other hand, there was a no whistling or blowing defects related to orbicularis oris muscle and face involvement. We presented this study as this muscle disease represents itself with weakness and numbness in muscle is seen rarely in literature and our patient did not have one of its components (facial).

    (Trakya Üniversitesi, 2017) Tezel, Mehmet Oğulcan; Mercan, Oğuz; Yumurtacı, Öznur; Kurt, Cansu; Altun, Gülay Durmuş
    Aims: In well differentiated thyroid cancers, FDG PET has a relatively low sensitivity. F-18 FDG PET/CT is an imaging method which is used before the treatment and in high risk patient groups with suspected recurrent disease. In this study we aim to determine the character of metabolic activity in differentiated thyroid cancer and in case of metastasis and to evaluate the findings of F-18-FDG PET/CT images in high risk patient group of differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods: The data of 79 patients who underwent imaging for staging or restaging and followed at Trakya Univerısity Faculty of Medicine from 2010 to 2015, were included in this study. Patient reports were analyzed retrospectively. Age, gender, size of thyroid lesion, presence of lymphadenopathy, other organ metastases (lung, liver, brain, bone) were included in the study. Results: The findings of 79 patients (29 male, 50 female) with papillary differentiated thyroid cancer were included in the analyses. The mean age of participants was 51±15 years. 14 patients (18%) were evaluated as normally. Recurırent disease was detected in the thyroid gland of 10 patients (13%) (SUVmax: 6.2±5.1; 2.3-19.3). In 54 patients (68%) lymph node metastasis was detected (SUVmax; 5.8±5.1; 2.1-24.2). 12 patients had liver metastasis (SUVmax: 5.7±3.9; 2.0-11.7), 12 patients had bone metastasis (SUVmax: 6.1±2.9; 2.2-13.9), 8 patients had lung metastasis (SUVmax: 4.3±4.5; 1.0-4.9) and one patient had brain metastasis (SUVmax: 10.2). Conclusion: Papillary differentiated thyroid cancer is associated with a tumor showing low glucose affinity, but it is understood that the tumor changes its behavior and gets metabolically active in the patients within the high risk group and in those with systemic metastasis

    (2009) Atay, Tolga; Aslan, Ahmet; Hetbeli, Nurettin; Aydoğan, Nevres Hürriyet; Baydar, Metin Lütfi; Ermol, Cüneyt; Yıldız, Mustafa
    Amaç: Elektromanyetik alanın (EMA) kemik hücreleri üzerine bazı biyolojik etkileri olduğu bildirilmiştir. Çalışmamızda, cep telefonlarından yayılan 1800 MHz frekansındaki EMA'nın rat kemik dokusundaki kemik mineral yoğunluğu üzerine etkilerini araştırmak amaçlanmıştır. Gereçler ve Yöntemler: Otuz erkek Wistar-albino sıçan kontrol ve EMA olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. EMA grubundaki ratlar, dört hafta boyunca haftada beş gün ve günde 30 dakika 1±04 mW/cm2 gücünde 1800 MHz frekansında EMA'ya maruz bırakıldı. Kontrol grubu, aynı gün ve sürede EMA uygulanmaksızın aynı çevresel şartlarda tutuldu. Çalışma sonunda tüm sıçanların kemik mineral yoğunluğu değerleri “Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry” cihazı ile taranarak ölçüldü. Bulgular: EMA grubunda kontrol grubuna göre lomber kemik mineral yoğunluğunda minimal artma, femur kemik mineral yoğunluğunda ise minimal azalma saptandı. Ancak, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: Osteoporoz açısından bakıldığı zaman yüksek frekanslı EMA'nın kemik dokusu üzerinde etkisi saptanmamıştır. Cep telefonları frekanslarına maruz kalmanın etkileri arasında kanser gibi ciddi hastalıkların olması nedeniyle insan sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmak amacıyla daha ileri çalışmalara gereksinim olduğu kanaatindeyiz.

    (2008) Memişoğlu, Serdar; Eşkin, Deniz; Yamak, Erkan; Gürbüz, Aydın; Sarıdoğan, Kenan; Dülger, Hakan
    Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı AO/ASIF and Jensen sınıflama sistemlerinin gözlemcilerin kendi içindeki (intraobserver) ve gözlemciler arası (interobserver) uyumunu saptamak ve deneyimli ve deneyimsiz ortopedik cerrahlar tarafından uygulandığındaki uyumu kıyaslamaktı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Altmış intertrokanterik femur kırığına ait ön-arka ve yan radyografiler, iki gruba (G1, G2) ayrılmış 10 ortopedik cerrah tarafından üçer ay ara ile AO ve Jensen sınıflamaları kullanılarak incelendi ve sınıflandırıldı. Her grupta beş cerrah vardı. Grup 1'dekiler beş yıldan daha az, Grup 2'dekiler 10 yıldan daha fazla deneyimli idiler. İntraobserver ve interobserver varyasyonların belirlenmesinde Kappa istatistiksel analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Alt grupları kullanılmadan yapılan AO sınıflaması için intraobserver uyum kappa değeri 0.67 (0.47-0.90), interobserver uyum kappa değeri 0.42 (0.10-0.73) olarak bulundu. Jensen sınıflaması için intraobserver uyum kappa değeri 0.57 (0.35-0.80), interobserver uyum kappa değeri 0.30 (0.10-0.60) olarak bulundu. Altgruplar kullanılarak yapılan AO sınıflama sistemi için intraobserver uyum kappa değeri 0.49 (0.21-0.81) ve interobserver uyum kappa değeri 0.23 (0.09-0.51) olarak bulundu. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, kullanılan sınıflama sistemlerinin dezavantajlarının olmasına karşın, intertrokanterik kırıklarda alt gruplar kullanılmadan yapılan AO sınıflamasının, Jensen ve alt gruplar kullanılarak yapılan AO sınıflamasına göre daha kullanılabilir olduğu gösterilmiştir.

    Non-operative treatment in children and adolescents with atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation
    (2012) Çiftdemir, Mert; Çopuroğlu, Cem; Özcan, Mert; Ovul, Ayşe Ulusam; Yalnız, Erol
    Amaç: Atlantoaksiyel rotator subluksasyon (AARS) çocuk ve adolesanlarda baş-boyun hareketlerinde kısıtlılık ve tortikollisle kendini gösteren, genellikle tanıda güçlük yaşanan ve beraberinde potansiyel riskler barındıran bir durumdur. Bu çalışmada cerrahi dışı yöntemlerle tedavi edilen 12 AARS olgusunun retrospektif analizi sunulmaktadır. Hastalar ve yöntem: AARS nedeni ile cerrahi dışı yöntemlerle tedavi edilen, ortalama yaşı 11,5 olan 12 hasta travma ve üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu öyküsü, ek yaralanmalar, radyolojik bulgular, semptomların süresi, mentooksipital traksiyonun miktarı ve süresi ile tedavinin klinik sonuçları açısından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Olguların 8’inde travmatik AARS saptanırken, 4 olguda subluksasyonların ardında travmatik bir neden bulunamadı. Olguların 10’unda Fielding ve Hawkins’e göre tip I, 2’sinde ise tip II subluksasyonlar saptandı. Tüm olgular yatak başı mentooksipital traksiyonla tedavi edildi. Traksiyonda kullanılan ortalama ağırlık 1,8 kg iken, ortalama traksiyon süresi 3,75 kg olarak hesaplandı. Olgular traksiyonla elde edilen klinik düzelmenin ardından 3 hafta Philadelphia boyunlukla takip edildi. Altıncı ay kontrollerde hiçbir olguda baş-boyun hareketlerinde kısıtlılık ve ağrı saptanmadı. Sonuçlar: Atlantoaksiyel eklem, baş rotasyonunun çoğundan sorumlu olan karmaşık bir yapıdır. Çocuk ve adolesanlarda boyun ağrısı ve torticollis ayırıcı tanısında atlantoaksiyel eklem patolojileri ve AARS mutlaka düşünülmeli ve ekarte edilmelidir. Tanıda gecikme yaşanan olguların tedavisinde cerrahi dışı yöntemlerle başarı şansı düşüktür.

    Can Awake Thoracoscopy Procedure be Performed with the Help of Thoracic Paravertebral Anesthesia?
    (IBN SINA TRUST, 2018) Yanik, Fazli; Karamustafaoglu, Yekta Altemur; Copuruoglu, Elif; Sagiroglu, Gonul
    Aim: The aim of this study was to present our experience with 11 patients who were spontaneously breathing with Awake Video Thoracoscopy (AVATS) procedure with the help of TPB because of rareness in the literature. Materials and Methods: Between December 2015 and December 2017, a total of 125 VATS cases were performed; 11 cases underwent VATS operation with the help of TPB; age, gender, operation performed, duration of operation, time of onset of mobilization-oral intake, duration of hospital stay, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores were evaluated retrospectively. Results: All cases were treated with uniportal AVATS procedure with the help of TPB. The mean age was 40,3 +/- 17,4 years (range 18-64 years), nine (82%) of the pateints were male and two (18%) were female. Operation procedures included wedge resection in eight (73 %) patients (six of them for pneumothorax, two of them for diagnosis), in three (27%) patients pleural biopsy (one of them used talc pleurodesis). There were no perioperative events. The mean operation time was 27,7 +/- 6,4 minutes (range, 20-40 min) and the mean anesthesia time was 25 +/- 3,8 minutes (range 20-30 min). The mean time of mobilizitation, oral intake opening time and length of hospital stay was 1,1 +/- 0,4 hours (1-2 hours), 3,5 +/- 0,5 hours (3-4 hours), 2,6 +/- 0,5 days (2-3 days), respectively. Conclusion: Awake Video Asssited Thoracoscopic Surgery with the help of TPB has less side effects and less complication risks than other awake procedures with the help of other regional anesthesia techniques. We conclude that; although AVATS with the help of TPB has some minor complications, it has advantages such as early discharge, early mobilization and early oral intake, low pain levels in well-selected patient groups.
