INTRODUCTION: To analyse the ectopic pregnancy cases retrospectively considering their initial complaits, risc factors and treatment methods.
METHODS: The data of 59 patients who were seen at the Haydarpaþa Numune Education and Research Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic were analysed retrospectively. All cases were analysed considering their etiological risc factors and complaints. The patients that received surgical or medical treatment were compared in terms of their ultrasonographic findings, labaratory results and treatment success.
RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 32±6.0. The initial complaints of the patients were vaginal bleeding (32.2%), pelvic pain (28.8%), vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain(27,1%), delayed menstruation only (5,1%), and admittance to emergency room with hypovolemic shock findings (5.1%). 40,7 % of the cases had non-specific histories, 13.6 % had pelvic inflammatory disease,1.7% had prior tubal surgery, 1.9% had history of ectopic pregnancy,15.3% had intra uterine device (IUD), 1.7% had levanorgestrel IUD, 1.7% had uterine anomaly, 13.6% had prior cesarean section. 54.3% were treated with Methotrexate, 3.4% were followed without treatment, 40.7% had surgical treatment. Among patients treated with Methotrexate 6 patients required a second dose, and two patients required surgery. Methotrexate was effective for 93.7% of those given the treatment..
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: History of pelvic inflammatory disease and IUD use were commonly encountered risk factors in our study group. Among the treatment modalities, Methotraxate was a quite effective method for conservative treatment of selected cases.

Toplamda olgularýn %66.7’sinde (76/114) sonuçlar uyumlu bulunmuþtur. PSA, prostat volümü, yaþ ve VKÝ ayrý ayrý deðerlendirildiðinde de bu uyumun buna paralel olarak %60 ile %70 arasýnda deðiþtiði gözlenmiþtir.
TARTIÞMA ve SONUÇ: Literatürde bu uyuma yönelik çok sayýda çalýþma ve buna paralel olarak çok geniþ aralýkta oranlar mevcuttur. Bizim çalýþmamýzda da literatürle uyumlu sonuçlar mevcuttur. Ancak Gleason skoruna etki eden parametreler ayrý ayrý deðerlendirildiðinde benzer uyum oranlarý gözlense de tek deðiþkenli analizler ile nomogramlara eklenebilecek yeni parametrelerin bulunabileceðini düþünmekteyiz.

INTRODUCTION: We know that Gleason score is the most important parameter in the decision-making process for the construction of a treatment plan for prostate cancer. The objectiv e of our study is to review the parameters effecting Gleason score.
METHODS: A total of 114 male patients who had undergone radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) in the Urology Clinics of Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital between the years 2008, and 2016 with the diagnosis of prostate cancer based on the histopathology results of transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) fine-needle transrectal biopsy specimens were included in the study. Age, pre-biopsy prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels, body mass indices (BMIs), and prostate volumes of the patients measured with the help of TRUS, histopathology results of prostate biopsy, and RRP specimens were retrospectively analyzed. For the evaluation of mutual agreement kappa coefficient was used.
RESULTS: In all cases, a moderate level (38.3 %) of agreement was seen between biopsy, and surgical specimens (kappa coefficient of agreement: 0.383; p: 0.001; p<0.01). Overall, in 66.7 % (76/114) of the cases the results were in agreement. When PSA, prostate volume, age, and BMI were evaluated separately, this rate of agreement changed between 60, and 70 %, in parallel with these results.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In the literature, sample number of studies on the agreement between these parameters with agreement rates varying within a wide spectrum. In our study we also obtained results consistent with those cited in the literature. Although when parameters effective on Gleason score were evaluated separately similar rates of agreement have been observed, we think that new parameters, which can be included in univariate analyses, and nomograms will be identified in the near future.

GÝRÝÞ ve AMAÇ: Çalýþmamýzda, inflamasyon tabanlý ve minimal invaziv prognostik bir gösterge olan Glasgow prognostik skoru (GPS)’ nun, prostat iðne biyopsisi öncesi prostat kanserini öngörebilme deðerini saptamayý ve bu sayede prostat iðne biyopsisinin olasý komplikasyonlarýný azaltýp kansere spesifikliðini arttýrabilmeyi amaçladýk.
YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Prostat spesifik antijen (PSA) düzeyi 4-10 mg/dl arasýnda olan, rektal tuþede malignite þüphesi olmayan, prostat iðne biyopsisi yapýlan toplamda 160 hasta içerisinden patoloji sonucu prostat adenokarsinomu gelen 30 hasta ve geri kalanlar içerisinden patoloji sonucu kronik prostatit olarak raporlanan hastalardan rastgele seçilen 30 hasta çalýþmaya dahil edildi. Hastalarýn iþlem öncesi serum PSA, Creaktif protein (CRP), albümin düzeyi, prostat hacmi, vücut kitle indeksi (VKÝ), uluslararasý prostat semptom skorlarý (IPSS) ve diðer komorbiditelerin varlýðý (diyabet, hipertansiyon, koroner arter hastalýðý) belirlenip raporlandý.
BULGULAR: Çalýþmaya dahil edilen 60 hastanýn yaþlarý 56 ile 75 yýl arasýnda deðiþmekte olup, ortalamasý 66.05±5.48 yýldýr. Gruplara göre olgularýn yaþ ortalamalarý, serum PSA ve CRP düzeyleri arasýnda istatistiksel olarak anlamlý bir farklýlýk bulunmadý (p>0.05). Kronik prostatit (KP) grubunun serum albümin düzeyi ortalamasý, prostat kanseri (PK) grubundan istatistiksel olarak anlamlý düzeyde yüksekti (p: 0.005; p<0.01).Bunun yanýnda PK grubunun GPS ortalamasý, KP grubundan istatistiksel olarak anlamlý düzeyde yüksek saptandý (p: 0.008; p<0.01).
TARTIÞMA ve SONUÇ: Bu öncü çalýþmada serum total PSA düzeyi 4-10 mg/dl arasýnda olan ve rektal tuþede malignite þüphesi olmayan hastalarda, prostat iðne biyopsisi yapma kararý verilirken GPS yüksekliðinin kanser tanýsýný öngörebilme yeteneði olabileceðini gördük. Bu çalýþmanýn sonuçlarýný dikkate alarak günümüzde geçerliliði kanýtlanmýþ bu prognostik parametrenin diyagnostik kullanýmýna iliþkin çalýþmalarýn önü açýlabilir. Bu sayede kimi komplikasyonlarý ve yanlýþ taný olasýlýklarý olabilen prostat iðne biyopsisinin gerçekten kanser olan hastalara uygulanma oranýnýn artabileceðini düþünmekteyiz.

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to determine predictive value of an inflammation-based, minimally invasive prognostic marker of Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) before performing prostate needle biopsy so as to decrease possible complications of prostate needle biopsy and increase its prostate cancer-specificity.
METHODS: Among a total of 160 patients whose prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels were between 4-10 mg/dl without any suspicion of malignancy on digital rectal examination (DRE) who also underwent prostate needle biopsy. 30 patients whose histopathology results were reported as prostatic adenocarcinoma and 30 randomly selected patients with histologically evidenced chronic prostatitis were included in the study. Before the procedure, serum PSA, C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin levels, prostate volume, international pros- tate symptom score (IPSS) and presence of other comorbidities were reported.
RESULTS: Sixty patients aged 56-75 years (mean: 66.05±5.48 years) were included in the study. Mean ages of the cases, serum PSA and CRP levels were not statistically significantly different between groups (p>0.05). Mean albumin level of the chronic prostatitis (CP) group was statistically sig- nificantly higher relative to the PCa group (p: 0.005; p<0.01). In addition, mean GPS was statistically significantly lower in the CP group (p: 0.008; p<0.01).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In this pilot study, we have seen that while deciding to perform prostate needle biopsy in patients with total PSA levels between 4-10 mg/dl without any evidence of suspect malignancy on DRE, higher GPSs may predict diagnosis of prostate cancer. In consideration of the results of this study, diagnostic use of this validated prognostic parameter may pave the way for the conduction of further relevant studies.

INTRODUCTION: Previous studies indicate that nor- mal values for urinary excretions of the consti- tuents that are responsible in the pathogenesis of diseases like urinary stone disease,hematu- ria, reccurent urinary tract infection may vary according to age, sex, diet traditions in different regions. Reference values of the related cons- tituents were not available for Turkish children.
METHODS: The aim of this study was, for the first time in Turkey, to determine the standart reference values for excretions of calcýum, magnesium, phosphate, uric acid and creatinine in the first morning and 24-h urine samples in 2-16 years old healthy children in Samsun region.
RESULTS: A total of 203 children (88 girls, 115 boys), aged 2-16 years partici- pated in the study. The relationships between the dietary intake and the urinary excretion of the minerals in the first morning and 24-h urine samples were investigated.The 50p and 95p values for urinary excretions of calcium were 2.6 and 6.73 mg/ kg/day; for magnesium 1.16 and 2.43 mg/kg/ day, for uric acid 10.21 and 19.71 mg/kg/day, for phospate 19.21 and 37.11 mg/kg/day,for creatinine 20.61 and 29.58 mg/kg/day respe- ctively. Asemptomatic hypercalciuria and hy- peruricosuria were diagnosed in 3.4% and 4.4 %of children who were enrolled in the study respectively.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant correla- tion between the dietary intake and the urinary excretions of the constituents. There was also no significant correlation between the urinary excretions of the constituents in the first mor- ning and 24-h urine samples, therefore we su- ggest that the first morning urine samples can not replace the 24-h urine sample measure- ments.

Acil cerrahi debridman, bu hýzlý ilerleyen hastalýðýn yönetiminde esas tedavi modalitesidir. Cerrahi debridmandan sonra genellikle geniþ bir açýk yara kalýr ve bu yarayý kapatmak için ikincil bir cerrahi giriþim gerekir. Yara yataðýnýn genellikle kirli ve unstabil olmasýndan dolayý iyileþme uzun sürer ve ikincil müdahale gecikir. Negatif basýnçlý yara terapisi, doku perfüzyonunu artýrýcý ve yara ödemini azaltýcý etkisinden dolayý kronik yaralarý kontrol etmek için kullanýlmaktadýr. Biz bu olgu sunumu ile uygun anbiyotik ve cerrahi debridman, negatif basýnçlý yara terapisi ve geç dönemde cerrahi rekonstrüksiyon ile tedavi edilen bir karýn duvarý nekrotizan fasiit vakasýný sunmayý amaçladýk.

Necrotizing fasciitis is the infection of subcutaneous tissue and fascia. It’s a rapidly progressive disease that can result with wide-open wound caused by microorganisms known as “flesh-eating bacteria”. The most common causes are group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. Emergency surgical debridement combined with early diagnosis is the main treatment modality in the management of rapidly progressive disease. But often a large open wound remains after surgical debridement for infection management and secondary surgical procedures such as skin grafts, local flaps or free flaps would be needed to close the wound. The delay in closing the open wound may result in delayed infection, deterioration of the patient’s general condition and generalized sepsis. Prolonged recovery is expected due to the dirty and unstable wound bed after skin grafting. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is getting used to control chronic wounds due to the effect of reducing the wound edema and increasing the tissue perfusion. We ai- med to present an abdominal wall necrotizing fasciitis case (a 60 year -old immobile, schizophrenic woman) which has been tre- ated in few weeks by 3 steps [1-antibiotics and surgical debridement, 2- negative pressure wound therapy, 3-Late surgical reconstruction (skin graft)].

Kromozom Ring 13 sendromu; bir çift 13. Kromozomunun sadece birinin kýsa kolunda meydana gelen bir grup gen kaybý sonrasý, uzun ve kýsa kollarýnýn birleþerek halka þeklini almasý ile bazý geliþimsel ve morfolojik deðiþimlerin görüldüðü bir hastalýktýr. Bu hastalýk klinik olarak 1968 yýlýnda gösterilmiþ olsadailk defa genetik analizlerinin yapýlmasýndan sonra tanýmlanabilmiþtir1. (Resim 1)
Geliþim sürecinde gecikme, beslenme bozukluklarý, özellikle ayakta olmak üzere iskelet anomalileri, yüksek damak, anüs anomalileri, küçük alçak çene, böbrek anomalileri, kalp bozukluklarý, normal olmayan beyin yapýsý ve anormal göz yapýsý gibi belirtiler bu hastalýða eþlik etmektedir2.
Bizim olgumuz; aralarýnda akrabalýk baðý bulunmayan 28 yaþýndaki anne ile 30 yaþýnda ki bir babanýn ilk çocuklarýdýr. 30 haftalýk olarak C/S ile erken doðumla meydana gelen bebekte doðduðu zaman prematürite+ RDS’sinin yanýnda imperfore anüs, ambigusgenitalia ve prenatal dönemde saptanan kardiak ve serebralanomalilermevcuttu. Ýlk yapýlan gözlemlerde kromozom 13 sendromunun mevcut olduðu düþünülmüþtür. Bu çalýþmanýn amacý; sunulacak olan olgumuzla hastalýðý literatür ýþýðýnda tekrar gözden geçirmektir.

Ring chromosome 13 syndrome is a disease where some developmental and morphological changing have been seen, because of a group of missing geneononlyone of the 13 chrosome pair at short arm, small and long arms have fused together to form a ring. Although this syndrome were showe dupclinically in 1968, the first describing of it has been defined after analysis of genetic.
Development delay, feding difficulties, unusual bone structure most commonly footanomaly, highpalate, anus anomalies, small lowjaw, kidney anomalies, heart defects, abnormal brain structure and abnormal eye structure accompany this disease.
Ourfact is a firstbaby of a mother at theage of 28 and a father 30 who do not haveanyline of descent. When the baby was born at just 30 weeks by C/S,(sezeryan) along side being prematüre + RDS it had also imperforate anus, ambigus genitalia, cardiac and cerebral anomalies which were determined at prenatal period. During the first monitoring, it was thought that there was chromosome 13 syndrome. The purpose of this essay is to reconsider this disease in thelight of literature with our fact will be presented.
