Treatment of AVMs consists of endovascular embolization, surgical resection or a combined approach. The endovascular embolization is an important and popular alternative treatment to reduce circulation of the nidus and prevent the development of collaterals and recurrence. However, local and systemic complications are quite common after repeated embolization, and surgical treatment is often required to manage such complications. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of a specific case, wherein a 32-year-old male patient with a gluteal AVM underwent ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH, Onyx®) embolization, subsequently developing large cutaneous necrosis. The core objective of this study was to search existing literature and provide insights into the management strategies employed in this unique scenario.</p>2024-02-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Nuh Evin, Yasir vural, Selma Sönmez Ergunhttp://jbionicmemory.com/index.php/jbm/article/view/50Evaluation of the effects of LMA supreme, baska mask LMA and endotracheal intubation on intracranial pressure in laparoscopic operations by measuring the diameter of the sonographic optic nerve sheath2024-01-20T18:14:59+00:00Ramazan Koray Akbudakkoray.akbudak@hotmail.comIbrahim Karagozdr.ikar@hotmail.comMustafa Turkoglumturkoglu44@hotmail.comAsim Ercelikasim_ercelik@hotmail.comOzge Sahinerozge.sahinn@hotmail.comAyhan Ekicimayhanekici@hotmail.comBahri Ozerbahriozer@hotmail.com<p><strong>Aim: </strong>The laryngeal mask (LMA) has been used for years to provide a safe and effective airway. Nowadays, it is also preferred in gynecological laparoscopic operations. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of Baska Mask LMA (LMA-B), LMA Supreme (LMA-S) and ETT (endotracheal tube) applications on intracranial pressure in laparoscopic gynecological operations by measuring optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD).</p> <p><strong> Methods: </strong> Patients between the ages of 18-65 in ASA I-II-III physical status who were going to undergo laparoscopic gynecological operation were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups by randomisation prospective as ETT, LMA-B and LMA-S. ONCD measurements were measured before general anesthesia (T0), 1 minute after induction (T1), 1 minute after intubation (T2), 3 minutes after intubation (T3), 10 minutes after the pneumoperitoneum and trendelenburg position (T4), and 30 minutes after the pneumoperitoneum and trendelenburg position (T5) and before extubation (T6).</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>60 patients were included in the study. No statistical difference was found between the groups in terms of demographic characteristics and clinical data (all <em>p</em>>0.05). The change in ONSD within three different groups showed an increase in the measurements at the 10th and 30th minutes after the pneumoperitoneum and trendelenburg position; ETT (4.84±0.23 mm), LMA-S (4.83±0.28mm), and this increase was found to be the lowest in LMA-B (4.64±0.26 mm) application (<em>p</em>=0.61).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>we think that Baska Mask LMA can be preferred more than ETT and other LMA applications according to the indication and IBP follow-up can be done reliably with ONSD measurements.</p>2024-02-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Ramazan Koray Budak, Ibrahim Karagoz, Mustafa Turkoglu, Asim Ercelik, Ozge Sahiner, Ayhan Ekici, Bahri Ozerhttp://jbionicmemory.com/index.php/jbm/article/view/51Association of vitamin D deficiency and urinary infection in newborn2024-01-22T06:36:16+00:00Nurdan Dinlen Fettahnrdinlen@gmail.comSeda Aydoğan drsedaaydogan@gmail.comElif Özyazıcı eozyazici@gmail.comAyşegül Zenciroğlu azenciroglu@gmail.com<p><strong>Aim: </strong>To establish the relationship between urinary tract infection (UTI) in newborns and vitamin D deficiency.</p> <p><strong>Material and methods:</strong> The study group consisted of 60 newborns followed in the neonatal intensive care unit due to UTI. The controls were 60 healthy newborns with similar distribution of gestational week. Vitamin D levels <15 ng/mL were defined as low.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The median serum 25(OH) D concentrations in the study group were lower than the control group (10,2 ng/mL and 16 ng/mL, respectively) (<em>p</em>=0,0001). In the study group, the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a serum level of 25(OH) D<15ng/ml [odds ratio 7, 95%, confidence interval 1.72-28.33; <em>p</em>=0.006] may be a risk factor for UTI in newborns.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Low level of 25(OH) D might be associated with an increased risk of UTI in term newborns.</p>2024-03-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Nurdan Dinlen Fettah, Seda Aydoğan , Elif Özyazıcı , Ayşegül Zenciroğlu
