Abstract
Priapism is a rare condition in the newborn. The aim of this study was to investigate the demographic, etiologic and clinical features of neonatal priapism. We retrospectively analysed the data of 11 patients diagnosed with neonatal priapism in the neonatal intensive care unit between 2000 and 2019. Priapism was defined as an erection in the neonatal period, lasting more than 4 hours. Etiological examinations revealed polycythemia in one (9.09%) patient, D-dimer elevation in three patients, and heterozygous methyltetrahydrofolate 667 gene mutations in one patient. Other patients were considered idiopathic. Detumescence was achieved in all 11 (100%) patients during the follow-up period. The median hospitalization duration was 6 (IQR [4, 8]; range, 2-9) days. The median follow-up duration was 38 (IQR [30, 42]; range, 13-94) months for patients followed-up in our hospital after discharge. Neonatal priapism is a rare condition. Successful treatment results can be achieved with conservative methods. Data acquired from our study showed that diseases with a tendency to hypercoagulation belong to the etiology by damaging penile microcirculation and make the response to conservative treatment more challenging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM This experimental study aimed to investigate the reliability of using electronic apex locator devices to determine the working length of artificial root canals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The experiments were performed using resin endoblocks and mandibular canine teeth (n = 20/group). After the same working length of root canal samples was provided, the teeth and artificial root canals were embedded in an alginate mold. The measurements with Root ZX® and Propex Pixi® apex locators were performed and recorded. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (SPSS V23; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, USA) and the variance was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the groups; mean distance from the actual working length using different apex locators (P = 0.633, P = 0.474), and endpoint positioning distributions (P = 0.591). CONCLUSION The results indicate that the artificial model could be a laboratory method of determining the accuracy of apex locators and efficient calibration of devices before their clinical use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the parameters that have an effect on the length of stay and mortality rates of patients with Fournier's gangrene. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective review was performed on 80 patients who presented to the emergency department and underwent emergency debridement with the diagnosis of Fournier's gangrene between 2008 and 2017. The demographic and clinical characteristics, length of stay, Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index score, cystostomy and colostomy requirement, additional treatment for wound healing and the mortality rates of the patients were evaluated. RESULTS Of the 80 patients included in the study, 65 (81.2 %) were male and 15 (18.7 %) female. The most common comorbidity was diabetes mellitus. The mean time between onset of complaints and admission to hospital was 4.6 ± 2.5 days. As a result of the statistical analyses, it was found that Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index score, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, negative pressure wound therapy and the presence of sepsis and colostomy were significantly positively correlated with length of stay. Also it was found that the Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index score, administration of negative pressure wound therapy and the presence of sepsis were correlated with mortality. CONCLUSION Fournier's gangrene is a mortal disease and an emergency condition. With the improvements in Fournier's gangrene disease management, mortality rates are decreasing, but long-term hospital stay has become a new problem. Knowing the values predicting length of stay and mortality rates can allow for patient-based treatment and may be useful in treatment choice.

Abstract
Background The gold standard treatment method for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is renal transplantation (RT). RT can be done with open or minimally invasive surgical methods. We aimed to compare the outcomes between patients who underwent robot-assisted renal transplantation (RART) and open renal transplantation (ORT). Methods Data of the patients who underwent ORT or RART in two institutions between June 2015 and February 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent live donor RT were included, and all donor nephrectomy procedures were performed by the laparoscopic technique. Demographic data, ischemia times, anastomosis times, operation times, and postoperative complications were recorded. Results 98 patients were included in the ORT group, while 91 patients were included in the RART group. There was a significant difference between the two groups regarding mean patient age. While total ischemia time was 86.9 ± 7 minutes in the RART group, it was calculated as 71.2 ± 3.3 minutes in the ORT group, with a significant difference. The anastomosis time was significantly shorter in the ORT group than in the RART group. The incision length and duration of hospital stay were significantly shorter, visual analogue scores were significantly lower, and estimated blood loss was less in the RART group than in the ORT group. Conclusion Both ORT and RART are effective and safe methods for treating ESRD. According to our study, RART is associated with relatively longer ischemia times but lower complication rates and higher patient comfort.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The beta-coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the clinical approach of 93% of urologists worldwide, and this situation has affected the use of laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic methods, which are known as minimally invasive surgery (MIS). This study aimed to determine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on MIS in urology practice at national level. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A total of 234 urologists in Turkey participated in an online survey between August 22 and September 23, 2020. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Descriptive statistical analyses were conducted to determine the participants' demographic characteristics and responses to multiple-choice questions. RESULTS While 54% of urologists stated that they were concerned about the possibility that the patients planned to undergo MIS were carrying COVID-19 or false-negative for the virus, 51% considered that open surgery was safer than MIS in this regard. The pandemic led to a difference in the preferences of 40% of the urologists in relation to open or MIS methods, and during the pandemic, 39% of the urologists always directed their patients to open surgery. It was determined that during the pandemic, there was a statistical decrease in the intensity and weekly application of MIS methods among all surgical procedures compared to the pre-pandemic (P < .001 and P < .001, respectively). MIS was preferred for oncological operations by 97.3% of the urologists during the pandemic, with the most performed operation being radical nephrectomy (90.7%). Among oncological operations, radical prostatectomy was most frequently postponed. To prevent virus transmission during MIS, 44% of the urologists reported that they always used an additional evacuation system and 52% took additional precautions. There were a total of 27 healthcare workers who took part in MIS and tested positive for COVID-19 after the operation. CONCLUSIONS Although the number of operations has decreased during the ongoing pandemic, MIS is a method that can be preferred due to its limited contamination and mortality in urology practice provided that safety measures are taken and guideline recommendations are followed.

Abstract
Abstract
This paper reports the low velocity impact behavior of preloaded E-glass/polypropylene sandwich composite plates. In particular, the effects of the type of preload and pre-strain amount on the impact behavior of composite plates are reported. Low velocity impact tests of specimens subjected to biaxial tension, compression and tension-compression (shear) were carried out using a drop-weight impact machine under a hemispherical impactor. Deformations ranging from 250 to 500 microstrains were imposed by a special fixture fabricated for this purpose. Single impact loadings were applied to the composite sandwich structures at different impact energies which were varied from rebounding case (10 J) to the perforation case (40 J). Impact results were explained in terms of typical contact force – deformation (F-D) curves and energy – time diagrams. The maximum contact force, deformation and absorbed energy of the specimens were compared to investigate the influence of pre-strain amount. In addition to the single impact tests, repeated impact behavior of composite sandwich structures subjected to different preload types were obtained with the same impact energy levels. The experimental results showed that the maximum contact force and maximum absorbed energy were considerably different in these situations. However, the repetition number of the specimens at the higher impact energies subjected to shear preloads was largely unaffected.

Abstract
Gossypiboma refers to a retained foreign object that was forgotten in the body cavity during an operation. It is a rare surgical complication that most commonly occurs after intraperitoneal abdominal emergency surgical procedures, but may also occur after virtually any type of operation. Gossypiboma can be confused with neoplastic lesions and abscess. Clinical examination and radiological findings may sometimes mislead the physician. We intend to present our cases, which is thought to be a kidney tumour and bladder cancer but resulted gossypiboma which is a condition that is caused by a forgotten sponge during the operation and it can mimic the cancer. During the operation, the team must work in coordination and be careful. Unnecessary operations in such situation can significantly increase the patient's morbidity.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of ultrasound (US) on the quartz-amine flotation system was investigated in detail by considering various surface chemistry techniques. The effect of ultrasound on particle size, shape factor, and surface roughness were characterized by using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. The contact angle and bubble-particle attachment time, as well as adsorption density measurements was carried out to evaluate the effect of ultrasound on quartz surface wetting ability. In addition, atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses were conducted, and finally micro-flotation studies were performed. As a result, it was found that the micro-flotation recovery at 2 × 10-5 M dodecyl amine hydrochloride (DAH) concentration increased from 45.45% to 63.64% with 30 W ultrasonic application at conditioning step. However, the micro-flotation recovery decreased to 37.50% when the ultrasonic power increased to 150 W. The results showed some effect of ultrasound on particle size, particle shape, and surface roughness in some extent. The increase in the contact angle and the decrease in the bubble-particle attachment time were observed. A slightly high adsorption density was measured. All these show a positive effect of ultrasound on quartz flotation with amine as a collector.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we aimed to describe the real-life practice outcomes of pertuzumab-trastuzumab-taxane (PTT) combination in visceral organ metastatic, trastuzumab-naive breast cancer (BC) patients. METHODS This study was conducted by Turkish Oncology Group and included 317 patients' data from 36 centers. RESULTS Median age was 51 (22-82). Median PFS was 28.5 months, while median OS was 40.3 months. Patients with brain metastases (n: 13, 4.1%) had worse PFS (16.8 m vs. 28.5 m; p = 0.002) and OS (26.7 m vs. 40.3 m; p = 0.009). Patients older than 65 years of age (n: 42, 13.2%) had significantly lower OS results (19.8 m vs. 40.3 m; p = 0.01). Two hundred sixty-eight patients (86.7%) received docetaxel while 37 patients (11.7%) received paclitaxel. PFS and OS were similar between taxane groups. In eight patients (2.5%), 5-40% ejection fraction decrement from baseline was detected without any clinical sign of heart failure. CONCLUSIONS Our RLP trial included only visceral metastatic, trastuzumab-naïve BC patients including cases with brain involvement who received PTT combination in the first-line treatment. Regardless of negative prognostic characteristics, our results are in parallel with pivotal trial. Further strategies for brain metastasis should be developed to improve outcomes despite encouraging results with PTT treatment. Taxane selection can be personalized and endocrine maintenance may further improve outcomes after taxanes were discontinued. To our knowledge, this is the largest scale real-life clinical practice study of pertuzumab-trastuzumab-taxane therapy to date.

Abstract
Aims and background Disorders of hemostasis in patients with malignancies are based on several mechanisms, such as ability of the tumor to alter the coagulation system by producing blood clotting factors or decreasing their inhibitors by increasing fibrinolysis, and by inducing an alteration of blood vessels in relation to the state of local invasion. We investigated the fibrinolytic system marker alpha2-antiplasmin-plasmin complex (APP) and clotting system marker thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT) in patients with breast cancer and compare them with CA 15-3, the most well-known breast cancer antigen. Methods Plasma levels of APP and TAT and serum level of CA 15-3 were determined in 57 patients with breast cancer (28 in remission and 29 with active breast cancer) and 13 healthy women. Results In patients with active breast cancer, plasma APP levels were significantly elevated compared to those of other groups (P<0.05). In addition, we observed a poor but positive correlation between plasma levels of APP and those of CA 15-3 (r=0.24; P=0.038). Plasma TAT levels, which reflect the activation of thrombin, were also significantly elevated in patients with active breast cancer (P<0.01), and there was a significant correlation between CA 15-3 and TAT (r=0.24; P=0.041). Conclusions We demonstrated that increased APP and TAT levels might reflect enhanced activation of coagulation and the fibrinolytic system in patients with active breast cancer.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic changes occurring in the ophthalmic vasculature of eyes with Behçet's disease in a controlled clinical trial. Both eyes of patients with retinal involvement due to Behçet's disease were consecutively evaluated and were established as having mild or severe retinal vasculitis according to the ophthalmoscopic and fundus fluorescein angiographic findings. One eye from each patient was randomly selected and 25 eyes with mild to moderate and 25 eyes with severe vasculitis were identified. Color Doppler imaging (CDI) was used to quantitate blood flow velocities and vascular resistance in the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA) and central retinal vein (CRV) of these patients and those of 25 healthy volunteers. All three groups were age- and sex-matched. In the OA, peak systolic, end diastolic and average flow velocities were significantly higher in patients with Behçet's disease than in the control group (p<0.05). CRA blood flow velocities of patients with severe retinal involvement were significantly lower than those with mild to moderate vasculitis and control groups and the average vascular resistance was significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05). Additionally, the average blood flow velocities in the CRV of patients with severe vasculitis were significantly lower than in mild to moderate vasculitis and control patients. Marked circulatory changes were seen in the ophthalmic vasculature of eyes with Behçet's disease. Although larger studies are required to define the true sensitivity and specificity of this technique, these initial results suggest that CDI could play a major part in the assessment of patients with ocular Behçet's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by genetic and epigenetic factors. There are conflicting results in the literature about the association between psoriasis and the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR), ranging from strong linkage to no association. AIM To investigate the association between the germline MTHFR polymorphisms C677T and A1298C with psoriasis risk in a Turkish population. METHODS The study enrolled 84 patients with psoriasis and 212 healthy controls (HCs) without any history of psoriasis. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of patients and HCs, and real-time PCR was used for genotyping. Results were compared by Pearson χ² test and multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS The frequency of both the MTHFR 677TT and A1298C (homozygous) genotypes was statistically significantly different from HCs. Point mutations were detected in all patients with early-onset psoriasis (before the age of 20 years). The T allele of MTHFR 677 and the C allele of MTHFR 1298 increased psoriasis risk by 12.4- and 17.0-fold, respectively, in patients compared with HCs. CONCLUSION A possible association was detected betweengermline MTHFR 677 C>T and 1298 A>C genotypes and psoriasis risk in a Turkish population. These results need to be confirmed in further studies with larger sample sizes.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to determine the frequency of the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene pathogenic variants in 60 children diagnosed with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and to compare the phenotype-genotype correlation. Genomic DNA was isolated by the spin-column method from peripheral blood samples (collected in vacutainers containing EDTA) and buccal smears. The MEFV gene profiles for the current FMF cohort were genotyped by pyrosequencing and direct Sanger sequencing techniques for the target pathogenic variants. The most prominent clinical symptoms were abdominal pain (53.4%), fever (23.4%) and arthritis (23.3%). Eighteen different pathogenic variants were identified and the most frequent were p.Met694Val (20.0%), p.Glu148Gln (13.3%), p.Met680 Ile (11.7%) and p.Arg202Gln (11.7%). Abdominal pain, fever and arthritis were the most common presenting clinical characteristics. Results showed that not only clinical characteristics, but also genotyping of the MEFV gene is needed to establish the correct diagnosis of FMF in children and other family members.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have pointed out the existence of cardiac dysfunction in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) even in the absence of ischemic, valvular, or hypertensive heart disease. The present study evaluated cardiac dysfunction and the relationship between severity of disease and degree of cardiac dysfunction in children with type 1 DM. METHODS In this prospective study, 31 patients with type 1 DM and 33 sex- and age-matched healthy children were evaluated with conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE). A correlation between cardiac functions and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) was examined. RESULTS TDE results indicated that mitral valve early diastolic annular peak flow rate (E'), mitral valve systolic flow rate (S'), ratio of mitral valve early diastolic peak flow rate to mitral valve early diastolic annular peak flow rate (E/E'), and left ventricular (LV) myocardial performance index (MPI) were higher, and LV ejection time (ET) was shorter in patients with type 1 DM (p<0.05). In addition, tricuspid valve E' and right ventricular (RV) MPI were higher, while RV ET and tricuspid E/E' were lower in patients with type 1 DM compared to healthy children (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Although conventional echocardiography revealed no difference between patients with type 1 DM and healthy children, TDE showed dysfunctions of both ventricles. This state is closely related to degree of blood glucose level control. These findings signify diagnostic value of TDE in the early detection of cardiac effects among patients with type 1 DM.

Abstract
Liddle syndrome (LS) is a familial disease characterized by early onset hypertension (HT). Although regarded as rare, its incidence may be greater than expected because the classical findings of hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with suppressed renin and aldosterone levels are not consistently present. Herein, we present the case of an adolescent boy and maternal relatives who were followed up with misdiagnosis of essential HT for a long duration. Clinical diagnosis of LS was confirmed on genetic analysis. Despite carrying the same mutation, the index patient and the family members manifested heterogeneous phenotypes of the disease including age at presentation, degree of HT, presence of hypokalemia and renal/cardiac complications. LS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of HT in children with a strong family history of HT resistant to conventional treatment; and genetic screening should be performed in these circumstances.

Abstract
A seroepidemiological study was conducted to assess the seroprevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) and antibodies to hepatitis C virus (Anti-HCV) in 14,196 patients hospitalized in our cardiology clinics. Threehundred and fifty five (355) patients (2.43%) were found to be positive for HBs Ag, a hundred and sixty six (166) patients (1.09%) were positive for Anti-HCV and ten patients (0.07%) were positive for both. The presence of HBs Ag and Anti-HCV was similar in patients living in rural and urban areas. The presence of risk factors was greater in the patients with Anti-HCV. The prevalences of HBs Ag and Anti-HCV were found to be comparable with those reported in other mediterranean countries in Europe.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aortic regurgitation, conduction disturbances, increased myocardial fibrosis and pericarditis could be seen in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). However, less attention has been paid to supraventricular arrhythmias (SVA) and atrial conduction system changes. We aimed to assess SVA and conduction system changes in patients with AS. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients (24 men; mean age, 28.7 ± 5.7 years) with AS and 30 healthy volunteers (26 men; mean age, 29.3 ± 5.8 years) were enrolled. All subjects were evaluated by 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram, 12 lead standard electrocardiogram (ECG) for P wave dispersion (Pd), and signal-averaged ECG (SAECG) for P wave duration (SAPWD). RESULTS SVAs were detected in 9 patients with AS (32%) and 3 controls (10%; p =0.02). Mean SAPWD (115.7±28.6 ms vs. 100.2 ± 18.7 ms, p =0.017) and mean Pd (11.9±4.8 ms vs. 9.3±3.6 ms, 0.023) was longer in patients with AS than the control group. When patient with AS were divided into 2 subgroups as patients with or without SVA, the Pd (16.2±5.0 vs. 9.9±3.2, p =0.001), SAPWD (151.4±7.8 vs. 98.7±16.1, p =0.001) and Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) (5.1±1.6 vs. 3.7±1.0, p =0.014) were significantly greater in the subgroup with arrhythmias compared to the subgroup without arrhythmias. There was a moderate positive correlation between BASDAI and SAPWD (r=0.622, p =0.001). There was also a moderate positive correlation between BASDAI and Pd (r=0.479, p =0.01). CONCLUSIONS SVA were detected more frequently in AS than control group. SAPWD and Pd were prolonged in patients with AS. Clinical severity assessed with BASDAI had a positive correlation with prolongation of SAPWD and Pd.

Abstract
Many authors have reported the presence of serum NMDAR antibodies in varying proportions of patients with schizophrenia; however, many others have not been able to confirm this. Because of the contradictory findings reported in various studies, more definitive research on this issue is required. Hence, we have investigated the NR1 subunit of NMDAR antibodies in patients with schizophrenia (n=49) and healthy controls (n=48). None of the investigated patients with schizophrenia and none of the healthy controls showed positive antibody against the NR1 subunit of the NMDAR. On the basis of this result, we conclude that the NR1 subunit of the NMDAR antibodies does not seem to have a role in schizophrenia.

Abstract
Researches have demonstrated that Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common stress reactions in the face of disasters and significantly associated with a broad range of trauma-induced sequelaes including anxiety, depression, suicidality as well as functional impairments. To date, though many aspects of risk factors with respect to the development and maintenance of PTSD have been addressed, mediating role of dissociation has received relatively less attention. In the present study, we examined relations of PTSD with quality of life, hopelessness, suicidal ideation, and mediational effect of pathological dissociation in these connections. 583 subjects most of whom experienced a severe earthquake participated in the study after two years of the disaster. We found that being female, being single, earthquake exposure, and having greater suicidal ideation were significant predictors of PTSD symptom severity. Role-Physical, Bodily-Pain, General Health and Role-Emotional subscales of the SF-36 were inversely associated with PTSD symptom severity. Pathological dissociation significantly mediated the substantial associations between predictors and PTSD symptom clusters. Chronic dissociation appears to put trauma exposed individuals in jeopardy of prolonged posttraumatic reactions by mediating the negative influences of risk factors in the face of experienced earthquake.

Abstract
The case of a newborn male with trisomy 18 syndrome, having bilateral syndactyly, aplasia and hypoplasia of the foot digits, unilateral ectrodactyly of the left foot and a prominently dorsiflexed hallux, clenched hand with overlapping fingers and general hypertonia, is presented. There are only 5 cases of trisomy 18 syndrome associated with ectrodactyly in the literature. We present a case of trisomy 18 syndrome with unilateral ectrodactyly of the left foot, which is an infrequent association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Rabies is still an important health problem particularly in underdeveloped or developing countries. In this study, the aim was to investigate demographic characteristics and vaccination schedules of cases suspected of having rabies and admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Clinic of our hospital, which serves as one of the Rabies Vaccination Centers in our province. METHODS In our study, medical records of 200 patients admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Clinic with suspicion of risk of contact with the rabies virus were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Of those 200 cases, rabies risk was found to be greater in the 5-9 year old group. There was a history of having been bitten by dogs in 68.5% of cases, cat scratch in 29.5%, and contact with other animals in 2%. While 76% of animals were stray animals, only 11% of them had an owner and had been vaccinated, and were under supervision. Rabies vaccination only had been administered to 42.5% of admitted patients, tetanus and rabies vaccination to 51.5%, tetanus; rabies vaccination and human rabies immune globulin were administered to 6%. Post-exposure prophylaxis was found to have been given as recommended to 83.5% of cases. CONCLUSION Rabies remains an important public health problem in developing countries Like ours. We consider that public awareness should be raised; local authorities should devote efforts to control stray animals and supervise such services, and updated guidance and training should be provided to the concerned health staff to reduce the risk of rabies.

Abstract
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most prevalent autoimmune thyroid disorder caused by an interaction between genes and environmental triggers. Intrathyroid lymphocytic infiltration may lead to progressive destruction of thyroid tissue and consequently to hypothyroidism. Many studies in different populations have shown association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and various autoimmune diseases, including HT. The study included 44 female patients (mean age ± standard deviation 38 ± 5.4) with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and 32 healthy age-matched, sex-matched and geographically matched controls without personal history of autoimmune and endocrine diseases. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood-EDTA, and the target VDR gene was genotyped by PCR-RFLP technique after VDR-FokI (rs2228570), VDR-ApaI (rs7975232) and VDR-TaqI (rs731236) restriction enzymes digestion. We used spss 20.0 integrated software for data analysis and found a significant difference in the genotype distribution of VDR-FokI polymorphism between patients with HT and controls (P = 0.009). For ApaI and TaqI, we observed a higher frequency of variant allele in patients with HT, which was not significantly different compared to control women (P > 0.05). The current first and preliminary results identified the association between VDR-FokI gene polymorphism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis in Serbian population. Results need to be supported by further investigations that define haplotype patterns for VDR gene polymorphisms in a larger group of HT patients of both sexes.
