    Evaluation of postural balance and risk of fall in a healthy adult population
    (2016) Analan, Pinar Doruk; Yilmaz, Emine Ece; Leblebici, Berrin
    Purpose: 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.

    Quantitative elastography in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions
    (2016) Purbager, Aysin; Pekoz, Burcak Cakir; Aslan, Hulya; Agildere, Ahmet Muhtesem; 0000-0003-4223-7017; 0000-0002-7138-246X; AAB-5802-2020; AAK-9104-2021
    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of quantitative elastography in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions that were detected by B-mode ultrasonography, to compare shear wave velocities of benign and malignant lesions, and to determine cut-off values differentiating malignant lesions from benign ones Material and Methods: In this prospective study we enrolled 254 breast lesions of 240 patients detected by B-mode ultrasonography, and underwent biopsy in our department. Shear wave elastography was performed to all lesions before biopsies. The patients who had radiotherapy or chemotherapy previously were not included. Elastography examinations were performed by one of the two radiologists specialising in breast radiology. The mean and median shear wave velocities, and standard deviation values were measured in meters/second. Both mean and median shear wave velocities were compared with histopathology results. Sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the curve were obtained by using a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis Results: The mean age of the patients, lesion size, mean and median shear wave velocities were significantly different between benign and malignant groups. The mean shear wave velocity of benign and malignant lesions were 3.59 +/- 1.2m/s and 5.59 +/- 1.9m/s, respectively. The cut-off value for the mean shear wave velocity was 4.08 m/s (71.6% sensitivity and 69.6% specificity) to differentiate malignant lesions from benign ones Conclusion: Quantitative elastography is an effective and complementary method making a significant contribution in differentiating benign and malignant lesions. In this respect, we believe that clinical usage of shear wave elastography should be generalized

    Unilateral peroneal paralysis after squat exercise
    (2016) Analan, Pinar Doruk; Kaya, Emine; 0000-0002-3528-3712; AAA-8043-2021
    Peroneal nerve entrapment neuropathy is the most common entrapment neuropathy in the lower extremity. Peroneal nerve may be damaged while passing over the upper neck of fibula or the tunnel shaped space on the origin of peroneus longus muscles. As a result of this neuropathy, walking difficulties and drop-foot secondary to muscle weakness may develop in patients. In this article; clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning of a patient diagnosed drop-foot after squatting exercise were discussed.
