Item Ability to detect endodontic complications using three different cone beam computed tomography units with and without artefact reduction modes: an ex vivo study(2019) Koç, C.; Kamburoglu, K.; Sönmez, G.; Yilmaz, F.; Gulen, O.; Karahan, S.; 30506961Aim To assess observer performance in detecting endodontic complications using three different cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) units with and without the application of artefact reduction modes. Methodology The study involved 40 freshly extracted human mandibular teeth (n = 10 per group) and divided randomly into four endodontic complication groups. Group 1) Instrument fracture; Group 2) Strip perforation; Group 3) Canal underfilling; and Group 4) Canal overfilling. Images of each tooth were obtained using three different CBCT units offering artefact reduction algorithms: the ProMax 3D Max, the Pax Flex 3D and the Dentri S. Four observers evaluated the images for the presence/absence of the four simulated endodontic complications. Weighted kappa coefficients and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated to reveal the intra- and inter-observer agreement for each imaging mode, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the observers' performance. DeLong tests were used to compare the results for each image mode and observer using a significance level of alpha = 0.05. Results In each of the four simulated endodontic complication groups, no significant differences were observed with and without application of artefact reduction for any of the three CBCT units tested. Only two significant differences were detected, and both were between the ProMax 3D Max at low mode AR and ProMax 3D Max without AR: observer 2 in group 1 (P = 0.0001) and observer 4 in group 4 (P = 0.0256). Conclusion For each of the three CBCT units tested, application of artefact reduction for detecting endodontic complications is not recommended as a routine tool.Item Pneumorrhachis and Pneumocephalus with Severe Chest Pain Symptom: A Rare Complication of Epidural Steroid Injection(2014) Ergenoglu, Pinar; Bali, Cagla; Akin, Sule; Ozyilkan, Nesrin B.; Aribogan, AnisItem Breast Involvement in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia(2015) Pourbagher, AysinExtra-medullary infiltration of breast by acute lymphoblastic leukemia is very rare. Mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging findings of leukemic breast involvement have been previously reported in the literature. However; ultrasound elastography findings of leukemic breast involvement have not been reported yet. Herein, we report ultrasound elastography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a case with bilateral breast infiltration by T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.Item Effect of low dose dexmedetomidine premedication on propofol consumption in geriatric end stage renal disease patients(2015) Ergeneoglu, Pinar; Akin, Sule; Bali, Cagla; Eker, Hatice Evren; Cok, Oya Yalcin; Aribogan, Anis; 26323728Background and objective: Sedation in dialysis dependent end-stage renal disease patients requires caution as a result of performing high doses of sedatives and its complications. Multidrug sedation regimens might be superior and advantage on lesser drug consumption and by the way adverse events which occur easily in end-stage renal disease patients. We evaluated the effects of dexmedetomidine premedication on propofol consumption, sedation levels with Observer's Assessment of Alertness and Sedation scores and the bispectral index and the hemodynamic changes, potential side effects in geriatric patients with end-stage renal disease who underwent hip fracture surgery under spinal anesthesia. Method: In this randomized, controlled, double-blind study 60 elderly patients (age >= 65 years) with end-stage renal disease and hip fracture scheduled for anterograde femoral intramedullary nailing were assigned to groups that received either intravenous saline infusion (Group C) or dexmedetomidine 0.5 mu g/kg/10 min infusion for premedication (Group D). All the patients received propofol infusion after the induction of the spinal anesthesia. Results: Total propofol consumption, propofol dose required for targeted sedation levels according to Observer's Assessment of Alertness and Sedation scores and bispectral index levels, recovery times were significantly lower in Group D (p< 0.001). The time to reach to Observer's Assessment of Alertness and Sedation score 4 and to achieve bispectral index <= 80 was significantly lower in Group C compared with Group D (p< 0.001). Adverse events were similar in both groups. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine premedication lowers intraoperative propofol consumption to maintain targeted level of sedation. Therefore low dose dexmedetomidine premedication in addition to propofol infusion might be an alternative in geriatric patients with end-stage renal disease for sedation.

However, factors such as poor administration of pelvic radiographs, a lack of concentration, inexperience, or a busy clinical environment may result in variations in the MP measurements. The aim of this study was to compare the differences in the MP results of two physiatrists with varying levels of experience to determine the role of experience in the measurement's accuracy. [Subjects and Methods] This retrospective study included 62 hip radiographs of 31 children with spastic CP. Two physiatrists with different experience levels calculated the baseline MP on two occasions six weeks apart. Correlations, intra-and inter-rater reliabilities, and differences in the MPs were compared. [Results] Correlations and inter-and intra-rater reliabilities of the measurements were excellent. There were no statistically significant intra-or inter-rater differences for either of the two measurement points. Inter-rater correlations for each session were 0.94. [Conclusion] Experience does not appear to be a factor in the evaluation of MP, and inter-rater differences do not cause problems regarding patient follow-up. Therefore, repeated pelvic radiographs are not necessary in the evaluation of MP in children with CP unless indicated.Item Effects of therapeutic ultrasound and exercise on pain, function, and isokinetic shoulder rotator strength of patients with rotator cuff disease(2015) Analan, Pinar Doruk; Leblebici, Berrin; Adam, Mehmet; 26644656[Purpose] The aim of this prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the effects of therapeutic continuous ultrasound (US) on patients with rotator cuff disease. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-two patients were treated with a standard physiotherapy program consisting of a hot-pack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), exercises, and US that was supervised by the same physiotherapist. The patients were randomly assigned to either a group that received true US (n=11) or one that received sham US (n=11). [Results] There were significant differences between the pre- and post-intervention UCLA Shoulder Rating Scale and Constant-Murley Shoulder Outcome scores, VAS, and external rotation (ER) peak torque 60 degrees/second values for both the true and sham US groups. However, the between-group differences were not statistically significant. [Conclusion] In patients with rotator cuff disease, physiotherapy interventions effectively treat the pain, improve the clinical status, and increase the muscle strength of the shoulder ER at a low constant angular velocity, with functional improvement being seen immediately after treatment. However, at the end of the intervention, the US had yielded no additional efficacy to the physiotherapy treatment regimen of the patients with rotator cuff disease.Item Granulocytic sarcoma of finger: a case report(2016) Purbager, Aysin; Ozen, Merve; Aslan, Hulya; Tok, Sermin; Kocer, EmrahGranulocytic sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor of immature myeloid cells. Such tumors may be located in any part of the body. We report a case of isolated granulocytic sarcoma of finger; which, to our knowledge, is the first report of that localization. A thirty-year-old woman with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) presented with progressive swelling and onychoptosis at her right fourth finger. The distal phalanx was excised and the tumor turned out to consisted of atypical myeloid cells, infiltrating bone trabeculae. Despite its rarity, considering myeloid sarcoma of the finger as a possible diagnosis may prevent inappropriate treatment in leukemia patients.Item Magnetic resonance imaging findings of extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of wrist: a case report(2016) Pourbagher, Aysin; Aslan, Hulya; Bal, NebilExtraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcomas (EMC) are high grade malignant tumors that rarely involves wrist. Published reports about them are mostly based on conventional radiography, tomography and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. We did not recognize any report of dynamic-contrast enhanced MRI so far. Herein, we present dynamic contrast enhanced and Diffusion Weighted MRI findings of a case with extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the wrist. In conclusion, EMC might show peripheral enhancement at early arterial phase and restricted diffusion on MRI. The knowledge of the imaging spectrum of the EMC might help us suggesting the diagnosis.Item Evaluation of postural balance and risk of fall in a healthy adult population(2016) Analan, Pinar Doruk; Yilmaz, Emine Ece; Leblebici, BerrinPurpose: In this retrospective study, it was aimed to evaluate the risk of fall and balance, and to determine whether there is a correlation between the risk of fall and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials, which are the evaluating the vestibular system, in the healthy adults who are working in a factory. Material and Methods: The data of 69 male participants have been reached. Bilateral Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials data and Berg Balance Scale of the participants have been recorded along with balance tests and risks of fall by using the Tetrax Interactive Balance System. The correlations between these measurements were measured Results: There was no statistically significant correlation between age and the risk of fall. Also, There ere no significant correlation between the values of latency and amplitude of the bilateral Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential waves, Berg Balance Scale, balance tests, and risk of fall. Berg Balance Scale scores showed a considerably good balance while the risk of fall ranged between 0% and 78%. Conclusion: Advanced age may be not alone significant factor for the risk of fall. Berg Balance Scale may not exactly show the risk of fall in the young adult population. Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials measurements may not provide a significant contribution to evaluate the risk of fall and balance. Our study underlines that there may be a risk of falling more than expected in the community.
