Abstract
BACKGROUND It is not yet clear if gravidity and parity have any relationships with the electrodiagnostic parameters of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). OBJECTIVE To determine whether there is a relationship between electrodiagnostic findings, gravidity, and parity number in CTS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Female patients over 18 years of age with CTS were included in this retrospective cohort study. The gravidity/parity number, median nerve compound muscle action potential (CMAP), and compound nerve action potential (CNAP) of the patients were analyzed. The two subgroups of the Boston carpal tunnel syndrome questionnaire (BCTSQ): The Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) and Functional Severity Scale (FSS) were applied to the patients. CTS patients were divided into two groups aged at first pregnancy ≤20 years and >20 years. RESULTS One hundred and eight CTS extremities (seven right-sided CTS, three left-sided CTS, 49 bilateral CTS) of 59 patients were included. The median (interquartile range: 25%-75%) number of gravidity, parity, and abortion were 3 (2-5), 3 (2-4), and 0 (0-0), respectively. Right-sided CTS patients at the age of first pregnancy ≤20 years had higher BCTSQ-SSS/FSS scores and median nerve CMAP latency compared to patients at the age of first pregnancy >20 years (P = 0.029 for SSS; P = 0.042 for FSS; and P = 0.041 for CMAP latency). A negative correlation was found between the gravidity/parity numbers and median nerve CNAP/CMAP amplitudes (P = 0.028/0.031, r = -0.293/-0.289 for CNAP amplitude; and P = 0.006/0.035, r = -0.363/-0.283 for CMAP amplitude). CONCLUSION Neurophysiological findings worsen as the number of gravidity and parity increase. Electrodiagnostic and clinical features of CTS may be worsening in females below 20 years at first pregnancy.

Abstract
Ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) procedures for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis aim to prevent proximal metacarpal migration to improve thumb function. We sought to evaluate the effect of the remaining trapezial space on outcomes after trapeziectomy with LRTI. Forty-seven patients were included in this study. Patients were evaluated clinically and radiologically. They were divided into two groups according to the remaining trapezial space at last follow-up. Postoperative to preoperative trapezial space ratio was >50% in group 1 and <50% in group 2. Mean follow-up was 30.8 months. Mean age, sex, dominant side, preoperative stage, and follow-up were similar in both groups. The mean QuickDASH scores were significantly better in group 1 than group 2. Mean tip and key pinch were significantly stronger in group 1, than group 2. Trapeziectomy with LRTI is the most used surgical technique and it produces satisfactory results. Improved clinical outcomes can be achieved when more than 50% of the preoperative trapezial space remains.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies regarding genetic and clinical characteristics, gender preference, and gonadal malignancy rates for steroid 5-alpha-reductase type 2 deficiency (5α-RD2) are limited and they were conducted on small number of patients. OBJECTIVE To present genotype-phenotype correlation, gonadal malignancy risk, gender preference, and diagnostic sensitivity of serum testosterone/dihydrotestosterone (T/DHT) ratio in patients with 5α-RD2. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with variations in the SRD5A2 gene were included in the study. Demographic characteristics, phenotype, gender assignment, hormonal tests, molecular genetic data, and presence of gonadal malignancy were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 85 patients were included in the study. Abnormality of the external genitalia was the most dominant phenotype (92.9%). Gender assignment was male in 58.8% and female in 29.4% of the patients, while it was uncertain for 11.8%. Fourteen patients underwent bilateral gonadectomy, and no gonadal malignancy was detected. The most frequent pathogenic variants were p.Ala65Pro (30.6%), p.Leu55Gln (16.5%), and p.Gly196Ser (15.3%). The p.Ala65Pro and p.Leu55Gln showed more undervirilization than the p.Gly196Ser. The diagnostic sensitivity of stimulated T/DHT ratio was higher than baseline serum T/DHT ratio, even in pubertal patients. The cut-off values yielding the best sensitivity for stimulated T/DHT ratio were ≥ 8.5 for minipuberty, ≥ 10 for prepuberty, and ≥ 17 for puberty. CONCLUSION There is no significant genotype-phenotype correlation in 5α-RD2. Gonadal malignancy risk seems to be low. If genetic analysis is not available at the time of diagnosis, stimulated T/DHT ratio can be useful, especially if different cut-off values are utilized in accordance with the pubertal status.

Abstract
The low rate of consent by relatives of potential donors especially in Muslim majority countries is one of the basic limiting factors of the success of organ transplantation. Therefore, this study aimed to explore opinions and expectations of relatives after donating their beloved ones' organs on a Muslim sample in Istanbul Region. Descriptive method was used. Data were collected from 82 of 95 Muslim donor relatives who agreed to participate in the study between the March and July 2014 via telephone calls. It was found that most of the relatives had donated the organs of their relatives for "keeping alive the beloved ones' organs in others' bodies instead to send them to the soil." Less of the relatives expressed regret for donating due to not introducing to the recipients. Muslim donor families also expect priority in hospitals and priority for transplantation if they have another relative waiting for organ transplantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ectopic posterior pituitary gland (EPP) is usually characterized by an abnormal pituitary stalk and hypoplasia of the anterior hypophysis. The genetic mechanisms involved in the development of EPP remain uncertain. The aim of this study is to determine whether mutations in the three genes, PROP-1, LHX2, and POU1F1, are associated with the risk for and the characteristics of EPP. METHODS In the Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic of "Dr. Behcet Uz" Children's Hospital, 27 patients with EPP were submitted to sequencing analyses of the PROP-1, LHX2, and POU1F1 genes. RESULTS Growth hormone, thyrotropin, corticotropin, gonadotropin, and vasopressin deficiency were observed in 22 (81.5%), 23 (85.2%), 17 (63%), 14 (51.9%), and two (7.4%) patients. Thirteen patients (48.1%) presented with hyperprolactinemia. Fourteen patients (51%) had a history of birth dystocia, and 12 cases (42.1%) had a history of breech presentation. Central nervous system abnormalities included five cases with corpus callosum agenesis, one case with schizencephaly, and one case with Chiari type 1 malformation. We identified a homozygous p.S109* mutation in exon 2 in one male patient with EPP and two different PROP1 gene polymorphisms (A142T or c.109+3 G>A polymorphism) in thirteen patients. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that PROP1 gene abnormalities might explain the genetic mechanisms involved in the development of EPP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present our data comparing retrospectively the efficacy of abiraterone and cabazitaxel in patients who progress after docetaxel treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 56 patients diagnosed with hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer who were previously treated with abiraterone therapy at four oncology centers in Turkey. RESULTS With abiraterone, the patients had a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 5.9 months (95% confidence interval (CI) for hazard ratio (HR) (4.4-7.4)) and an overall survival of 13.4 months (95% CI for HR (5.5-21.3)). When we compared the disease-free survival (DFS) of reference patients treated with cabazitaxel as a second-line treatment with those receiving second-line abiraterone therapy, there was no significant difference. (PFS = 5.9 months with cabazitaxel vs. 6.7 months with abiraterone, P = 0.213). CONCLUSION This study has shown that in our experience abiraterone acetate is an effective agent in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) regardless of the line of treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Venous thromboembolism is a complex, multifactorial disease, involving interactions between acquired or inherited predispositions to thrombosis and various risk factors, such as trauma and surgery. This study investigated the clinical features and most important risk factors of fatal pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forensic records stored at the Council of Forensic Medicine, Ministry of Justice in Istanbul, Turkey, from January 2010 to December 2014 were screened for deaths of confirmed PTE based on autopsy or computed tomography (CT). Massive pulmonary embolism was the main cause of death in all patients. RESULTS The 51 cases with PTE comprised 22 (43.2%) males and 29 (56.8%) females. A diagnosis of PTE was established by autopsy in 76.6% (39/51) of the cases. Overall, 23 (45%) suffered multiple trauma and 14 (27.5%) underwent surgery. The mean time from surgery to death was 10.2 ±6.8 days. Of the trauma cases, 78% (18/23) comprised orthopaedic trauma. Death occurred in 74% of the cases after the second week following trauma. Of the trauma and surgery cases, 95.6 and 71.4% were outpatients at the time of death, respectively. The origin of the PTE was known in 34.8% and 57% of the trauma and surgery cases, respectively. The mean Injury Severity Score (ISS) was 11.3 ± 7.6. An abbreviated injury score (AIS) extremity ≥3 was seen in 23% (4/18) of the extremity trauma cases. The time to death of the patients who underwent surgery was shorter than in the patients who experienced trauma (p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS A high ISS is not a determinant of fatal PTE. Immobilization is important in the occurrence of PTE, especially in trauma patients. Frequent follow-up after discharge should inquire about complaints related to PTE and the use of protective precautions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate sexual dysfunction in male patients with Behçet's Disease in comparison to healthy control subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy-two sexually active male patients with Behçet's Disease and 62 healthy control subjects were included in this study. Patients' demographic and clinical characteristics were noted. Sexual function was assessed by means of the International Index of Erectile Function scoring system. In addition, disease-related quality of life was measured by means of the Nottingham Health Profile, and anxiety and depression levels were assessed by means of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. RESULTS Patients with Behçet's Disease scored significantly lower in each of the 5 parameters of International Index of Erectile Function (p < 0.001) and significantly higher in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale compared to healthy control subjects (p < 0.001). International Index of Erectile Function scores correlated with age, duration of disease and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Nottingham Health Profile scores in patients with Behçet's Disease (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Sexual function is impaired in male patients with Behçet's Disease, which might be associated by age, duration of disease, psychological status and quality of life.

Abstract
Lack of requisite genetic variation in Turkish okra has necessitated the use of different types of markers for estimating the genetic diversity and identifying the source of variation. Transposable elements, present abundantly in plant genomes, generate genomic diversity through their replication and are thus an excellent source of molecular markers. We hypothesized that inter-primer binding site (iPBS)-retrotransposons could be the source of variation because of their genome plasticity nature. In the present study, genetic diversity of 66 okra landraces was analyzed using iPBS-retrotransposon markers. iPBS-retrotransposons detected 88 bands with 40.2% polymorphism and an average of 6.8 bands per primer. Gene diversity and Shannon's information index ranged from 0.01 to 0.13 and 0.02 to 0.21 for iPBS-retrotransposons and from 0.06 to 0.46 and 0.14 to 0.65 for simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, respectively. Polymorphism information content value for retrotransposons varied between 0.12 and 0.99, while that for SSR was from 0.52 to 0.81. Neighbor joining analysis based on retrotransposons and SSRs divided all the accessions into four clusters; however, SSR markers were more efficient in clustering the landraces based on their origin. Using the STRUCTURE software for determining population structure, and two populations (at the number of hypothetical subpopulations, K = 2) were identified among the landraces. Low genetic diversity in Turkish okra highlights the need for the introduction of plants from countries with greater genetic diversity for these crops. This study also demonstrates the utility and role of iPBS-retrotransposons, a dominant and ubiquitous part of eukaryotic genomes, for diversity studies in okra.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is an infrequent and life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), requiring prompt intervention. There is insufficient data about the prognosis and management of CAP in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this study was to investigate the management of CAP in patients with ACS. METHODS The results of 25 patients with CAP were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Of the 25 patients, 14 patients (56%) had ACS. According to the Ellis classification, the grade of perforation was type-I in 8 (32%) patients, type-II in 6 (24%) patients and type-III in 11 (44%) patients. Prolonged balloon inflation was performed to 20 (80%) cases of CAP. It successfully sealed the perforation in three cases of type-I, five cases of type-II CAP and in seven cases of type-III CAP. Seven patients underwent covered stent implantation. Emergent CABG was required in two patients with type-III CAP. In-hospital mortality was not observed in the patients. CONCLUSION The outcomes of CAP in patients with ACS were similar to patients with stable coronary disease. The continuation of anti-platelet agents after the successful management of CAP may be encouraged in these patients.
