Role of preoperative C-reactive protein value and neutrophil ratio in the determination of conversion from laparoscopic appendectomy to open appendectomy
(2018)BACKGROUND: In this study, we aimed to investigate the factors causing conversion from laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) to open appendectomy (OA) in patients with acute appendicitis and to investigate the role of preoperative ... -
The Role of Preoperative Routine Computed Tomography Scanning in The Estimation of High-Risk Factors in Endometrial Cancers
(2018)Objective: To examine the role of preoperative computed tomography (CT) in estimation of the high-risk factors in endometrial cancer cases. Materials and Methods: The data from 161 cases who were diagnosed with endometrioid ... -
Role of Procalcitonin in Differential Diagnosis of Pneumonia and Pulmonary Congestion Associated With End-Stage Renal Failure
(2016)Objectives: We aimed to determine the role of procalcitonin in distinguishing between infectious and noninfectious causes, specifically the cause of the infiltrative appearances detected on lung radiographs of patients ... -
The Role of Procalcitonin in Predicting Necessity of Antivenom Administration and Clinical Severity in Snake Bites
(2022)One of the most important steps for preventing deaths due to snake bites is to administer snake antivenom to the eligible patients in a swift manner. In our study, we aimed to investigate whether procalcitonin is useful ... -

The Role of Radical Prostatectomy in the Treatment of Patients with High-Risk Prostate Cancer
(2015)High-risk prostate cancer (PCa), which is defined as PSA > 20 ng/mL or Gleason Score (GS) > 7 or >= cT3a, accounts for up to 40% of newly diagnosed cases and carries a significant risk of progression and death. However, ... -
The Role of Selvester Score on 12-Lead ECG in Determination of Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Among Patients Receiving Trastuzumab Therapy
(2019)Objective: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Trastuzumab is an effective breast cancer agent. The most significant side effect of trastuzumab is left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Selvester score ... -
Role of Serum Procalcitonin Levels in Solid-Organ Transplant Patients
(2016)Objectives: Systemic infection is among the common complications after solid-organ transplant and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Because it has prognostic significance, timely diagnosis and treatment ... -
The Role of Shear-Wave Elastography in the Differentiation of Benign and Malign Non-Mass Lesions of the Breast
(2018)AIM: The aim of this study is to retrospectively assess the additional diagnostic value of shear wave elastography (SWE) added to ultrasound (US) versus US alone in differentiating malignant and benign non-mass lesions ... -
Role of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of Mammaglobin-A Gene in Nasal Polyposis: A Case Control Study
(2020)Objective: Nasal Polyposis (NP) is a chronic inflammatory disease and genetic factors play an important role in the pathophysiology. Mammaglobin-A (MGA) gene expression was significantly higher in patients with NP and ... -
The Role Of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy In Switching Systemic Therapy For Patients With Extracranial Oligometastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
(2022)Background Targeting oligometastatic lesions with metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) using stereotactic-body radiotherapy (SBRT) may improve treatment outcomes and postpone the need for second-line systemic therapy (NEST). ... -
The role of T2-weighted images in assessing the grade of extraprostatic extension of the prostate carcinoma
(2020)Purpose Extraprostatic extension (EPE) is an unfavorable prognostic factor and the grade of EPE is also shown to be correlated with the prognosis of prostate cancer. The current study assessed the value of prostate magnetic ... -
