    Abstract Metastasis to the masticator space and mandible is very rare. The most common origin in women is breast cancer. Cystic metastases may radiologically mimic abscess. Definitive diagnosis can be made histopathologically. The prognosis of these patients is very poor and early diagnosis is important. Therefore, metastasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of oral lesions.

    Abstract Background: Repeat cesarean deliveries (CDs) pose a risk in the development of intra-abdominal adhesions.
    Aim: We aimed to examine the incidence and severity of adhesions in repeat CDs using a specific scoring system and assess the predictive power of the pre-operative value of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and interleukin (IL)-6 with selected peripheral inflammatory biomarkers (PIBs) in the prediction of adhesion formation.
    Methods: This prospective study enrolled 91 pregnant women at term, who had previously undergone at least one or more scheduled CDs. PIBs, namely C-reactive protein, white blood cell count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and systemic immune-inflammation index, TGF-β, and IL-6 were studied according to the presence and location of adhesions.
    Results: There was a significant difference only in the variables of the number of CDs, post-operative adhesion index (PAI) score, IL-6, and TGF-β on the presence of adhesion (p < 0.05). The linear regression model revealed that the effect of the number of CDs, PAI score, and IL-6 values on TGF-β was significant (p < 0.05). The effect of the PAI score on TGF-β was higher than that of IL-6. As a reciprocal relationship, the effect of the TGF-β value on the PAI score was also higher than that of IL-6.
    Conclusion: In patients with a history of repeat CDs, the preoperative determination of TGF-β seems to be an important independent predictor of POA. The adverse events due to post-operative adhesion caused by repeat CDs can be overcome by detecting high-risk patients with a comprehensive assessment and individualized intervention integrated into overall patient management.

    Abstract This study describes the primary characteristics of the selected kidney stones surgically removed from the patients at the Mersin University Hospital in the southern Turkey and interprets their formation via petrographic, geochemical, XRD, SEM-EDX, and ICP-MS/OES analyses. The analytical results revealed that the kidney stones are composed of the minerals whewellite, struvite, hydroxyapatite, and uric acid alone or in different combinations. The samples occur in staghorn, bean-shaped composite, and individual rounded particle shapes, which are controlled by the shape of the nucleus and the site of stone formation. The cross-section of the samples shows concentric growth layers due to variations in saturation, characterizing the metastable phase. Kidney stone formation includes two main stages: (i) nucleation and (ii) aggregation and/or growth. Nucleation was either Randall plaque of hydroxyapatite in tissue on the surface of the papilla or a coating of whewellite on the plaque, or crystallization as free particles in the urine. Subsequently, aggregation or growth occurs by precipitation of stone-forming materials around the plaque or coating carried into the urine, or around the nucleus formed in situ in the urine. Urinary supersaturation is the main driving force of crystallization processes; and is controlled by many factors including bacterially induced supersaturation.

    Abstract Mycetoma is a chronic discharging infection involving the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and bone, which is endemic in tropical and subtropical countries. We report a rare case of mycetoma localized on the foot of a patient living in a country with a temperate climate. A 32-year-old male patient presented with painless swelling in the right foot. He had undergone surgery 3 years ago with the same complaints. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 90 × 65 × 37 mm cystic soft tissue lesion in the posterior of the right ankle. Histological analysis identified the fungus. Extensive resection was performed. Mycetoma is characterized by chronic granulomatous inflammatory response, often associated with sinus tract formations due to fungal (eumycetoma) or bacterial (actinomycetoma) organisms. Here we provide a literature review and highlight the importance of increasing awareness toward mycetoma, particularly in non-endemic regions.

    Abstract Introduction: Asthma is seen in more than 4 million people in Turkey. Numerous studies have shown the beneficial effects of pharmacist interventions on medication adherence and therapeutic outcomes. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the current situation by examining the experiences of Turkish community pharmacists in relation to the counseling and referral of asthma patients, the responsibilities of pharmacists and the recommendations made by pharmacists to improve asthma management.
    Methods: In this qualitative study, the constructivist-interpretivist paradigm was adopted. To conduct qualitative interviews, a semi-structured interview guide was devised to gather insights from the pharmacists. The interviews were coded verbatim. Subsequently, various themes and sub-themes were developed based on the aim and objectives of the study.
    Results: A total of 14 pharmacists engaged in semi-structured interviews conducted between June and August 2023. The wealth of information gathered during these interviews facilitated a meticulous thematic analysis, yielding four overarching themes: 1) Patient-related difficulties, 2) Communication with physicians, 3) Desired traits and responsibilities of pharmacists, 4) Pharmacists' expectations. Pharmacists placed significant emphasis on their challenges in allocating time to patients, primarily due to high workloads and limited collaboration with physicians.
    Conclusion: Considering the workload and time limitations faced by pharmacists, a collaborative model involving pharmacists and physicians is seen as essential. Enhancing the collaboration between pharmacists and physicians, especially for chronic diseases, holds the potential to enhance public health outcomes while alleviating the workload of pharmacists.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of intestinal parasites and head lice in primary school-aged children and to determine a possible relationship between the co-occurrence of ecto-endoparasites.
    Methods: The study were conducted in three schools in the center of Sivas: Sivas Karşıyaka Primary School, Kılavuz İMKB Primary School, and Karşıyaka 27 June Middle School. The presence of head lice and intestinal parasites was investigated in a total of 563 children aged 6 to 17, with 294 girls and 269 boys. Classroom teachers and students were provided with information about intestinal parasites, head lice, and methods of transmission and prevention, and a questionnaire was administered. During the head lice examination, students were inspected with a comb, and samples with nits were examined under a microscope in the laboratory. Cellophane tape and stool samples obtained from the participants were examined on the same day using the native-lugol, flotation, and trichrome staining methods under a light microscope (x10, x40, x100).
    Results: Five hundred sixty-three children were evaluated for head lice and 15 (2.6%) were found to be positive. During the examination, only nits were found in 11 students (1.9%), and both adult lice and nymphs were seen in 4 students (0.7%). Head lice were found positive in 2 out of 269 boys (0.7%), while 13 out of 294 girls (4.2%) positive (p<0.05). As a result of stool examination in children,
    Conclusion: In conclusion, although there has been a noticeable decrease in head lice and intestinal parasites among primary school-aged children in Sivas province, these conditions are still present, as evidenced by previous studies conducted in our region.

    Abstract Introduction: Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection via apheresis requires the administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (filgrastim) to stem cell donors. Several reports have shown that filgrastim administration and apheresis procedure induce a hypercoagulable state across PBSC collection, which might predispose certain donors to thrombotic complications.
    Methods: We evaluated the hemostatic functions of healthy allogeneic stem cell donors by rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM). Blood samples from healthy donors (n = 30) were collected at defined time points: before filgrastim (baseline), on the day of apheresis before and after the procedure, and 1 week after apheresis.
    Results: The results indicated that hemostatic changes are temporary since all parameters in both EXTEM and INTEM assays are restored to their initial values 1 week after the apheresis.
    Conclusion: We concluded that stem cell apheresis does not induce a hypercoagulable state in healthy donors. This is the first study evaluating the hemostatic functions of stem cell donors by ROTEM.

    Abstract Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs due to the inability to adapt to physiologically observed changes in carbohydrate metabolism during pregnancy. Neudesin is a multi-functional secreted protein suggested to have a crucial regulator role in energy and carbohydrate metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate maternal serum and umbilical cord neudesin levels in pregnancies with GDM. Twenty-four singleton pregnancies with GDM were compared with gestational age-matched 23 uncomplicated pregnancies in this cross-sectional study. In comparison to the control group, significantly higher maternal serum and umbilical cord neudesin levels were observed in pregnancies with GDM (
