Adhesive strip patching for tympanic membrane perforations
(Elsevier, 2011)Various techniques for myringoplasty or patching of tympanic membrane perforation, without elevating the annulus and entering the middle ear, have been described. Among these techniques, a paperpatching technique is ... -
Association of TRPM channel gene polymorphisms with systemic sclerosis.
(Elsevier, 2015)Background/Aim: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an inflammatory disease characterized by vascular abnormalities and fibrosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible role of transient receptor potential ... -
Bronchoscopic treatment in the management of benign tracheal stenosis: Choices for simple and complex tracheal stenosis
(Elsevier, 2016)Background:Bronchoscopic treatment is 1 of the treatment choices for both palliative and definitive treatment of benign tracheal stenosis. There is no consensus on the management of these patients, however, especially ... -
Change of pitch due to carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine independently
(Elsevier, 2013)Introduction; Absolute pitch (AP) is the term used to denote the cognitive ability to spontaneously and effortlessly identify and vocally produce specific musical tones without a reference note.1 Abnormalities of pitch ... -
Common variants in the ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 gene with decreased HDL-cholesterol levels and coronary artery disease.
(Elsevier, 2008)Background: Our aim was to determine whether the common variants within the coding sequence of ABCA1 gene affects low plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in Turkish patients with coronary artery ... -
Ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate with a rare clinical presentation; Late gastric metastasis
(Elsevier, 2016)A 67 year male had robotic prostatectomy whose pathology revealed mixed type prostate cancer composed of 55% ductal and 45% acinar components. The patient was then admitted to hospital with sudden health problems including ... -

(Elsevier, 2016)Levetiracetam (LEV), a second-generation anti-epileptic drug, is used for treatment of both focal and generalized epilepsy. Growing body of evidence suggests that LEV may have neuroprotective effects. The present study was ... -
Presence of fatty-acid-binding protein 4 expression in human epicardial adipose tissue in metabolic syndrome
(Elsevier, 2008)Background: Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of different clinical manifestations that are risk factors for atherothrombotic cardiovascular disorders. Fatty-acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4/aP2), which is highly expressed in ... -
Protective effect of edaravone against manganese-induced toxicity in cultured rat astrocytes.
(Elsevier, 2015)Manganese (Mn), a trace metal, is essential for maintaining the normal regulation of many biochemical and cellular processes. However, accumulation of Mn due to excessive environmental exposure leads to neurological ... -
Rebaudioside A inhibits pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsions in rats
(Elsevier, 2016)The safety of patients with epilepsy consuming sweetening agents, which is becoming increasingly prevalent for various reasons, is a topic that should be emphasized as sensitively as it is for other diseases. Patients with ... -
