DETERMINATION OF METASTATIC CAPACITY IN PRIMARY LUNG CANCER CELLS: REFLECTION OF PATIENT PROFILE IN THE CLINIC USING IN VITRO METHODS Open
Objective: There is a scarcity of in vivo models that accurately reflect tumor growth and metastasis in cancer research. Research using cell lines with increasing passage numbers may give misleading results because the tumor loses its char…

A Fractional Modeling of Tumor–Immune System Interaction Related to Lung Cancer with Real Data Open
In this study, we investigate a new fractional-order mathematical model which considers population dynamics among tumor cells-macrophage cells-active macrophage cells, and host cells involving the Caputo fractional derivative. Firstly, the…

Retrospective analysis of patients with sternal fracture Open
OBJECTIVES: Sternal fractures (SFs) are rare pathologies that mainly occur as a result of traffic accidents, which can cause mortality due to concomitant complications. In this study, we aimed to evaluate clinical processes and termination…

Is mediastinoscopy an effective diagnostic method in mediastinal area evaluation in pediatric patients? Open
Pediatric age mediastinoscopy may be the first method of diagnosis due to low complication rates and high diagnosis rates in mediastinal area.

Clinical significance of Pro-Gastrin-Releasing Peptide, Neuron-Specific Enolase, Chromogranin A and Squamous Cell Cancer Antigen in pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors Open
Introduction It is not always easy to diagnose pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (PNET).The aim of the present study is to make a differential diagnosis by studying the same markers in patients with non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), pat…

Giant lipoma of the chest wall Open
Chest wall tumors may originate from the skin, muscles, adipose tissue, nerves and blood vessels, bone and cartilage tissue.Primary malignant tumors of the chest wall are rare.When contextualized, soft tissue stands out as the major origin…

Mass lesion in the neighborhood of the rib and vertebra: extramedullary hematopoiesis Open
Extramedullary hematopoiesis is the production of blood outside of the bone marrow.While it may normally arise in the liver and spleen during the fetal period, it is considered as a compensatory mechanism in adults.Extramedullary hematopoi…

Addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine in ultrasonography-guided paravertebral blockade potentiates postoperative pain relief among patients undergoing thoracotomy Open
Background and objective: Thoracic paravertebral blockade is an alternative regional technique for comforting post-thoracotomy pain, thereby decreasing opioid consumption, postoperative nausea and vomiting, dizziness, respiratory depressio…

Is Bilateral Staged Muscle-Sparing Thoracotomy Performed within 1 Week for Lung Hydatid Cysts Safe for Pediatric Patients? Open
To prevent hydatid cysts complications, the elapsed time between two thoracotomies should be not only long enough to evaluate the postoperative complications but also relatively short to prevent possible complications that may develop in t…

The relation between the location and the perforation rate of lung hydatid cysts in children Open
We recommend surgical treatment as soon as possible in children with hydatid cysts located in the right middle lobe and lingula to prevent the risk of perforation.

Iatrogenic Pneumomediastinum and Subcutaneous Emphysema after Mandibular Left First Molar Tooth Extraction Open
Pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema occur due to the presence of free air in the mediastinum and subcutaneous tissue. Early diagnosis and therapy are crucial as the passage of huge amounts of air into the mediastinum may lead to l…
