Thoracic radiological manifestations of Churg-Strauss syndrome are variable. The most common chest CT findings are parenchymal air-space consolidation and ground glass attenuation, as well as centrilobular nodules, bronchial dilatation or bronchial wall thickening, interlobular septal thickening. Multiple nodules may occur in Churg-Strauss syndrome but cavitating nodules are unusual and have been reported in only two cases in literature. Herein, we present a Churg-Strauss syndrome case with unusual cavitating nodules demonstrated by HRCT scans.Öğe Comparison of 3d reformat computed tomography images using different softwares: do they have an incremental value in 3D imaging?(Allied Acad, 2017) Sasani, Hadi; Kayhan, Arda; Zaim Gökbay, İnci; Sasani, Mehdi; Köse, Soner; Gökçe, Alper; Saraçoğlu Varol, GamzeThree dimensional (3D) imaging gained an important diagnostic role because of providing the precise diagnosis in computed tomography (CT) studies. Various 3D softwares such as; VitreaWorkstation - Toshiba, Japan; OsiriX-Switzerland; Volume Viewer-General Electric, USA have been manufactured to improve its diagnostic ability. Providing the deep sense and dimensional perception, the aim of this prospective study is to compare the native 3D (N3D) CT images with 2 anaglyph images by using different softwares and delineate their contribution to 3D CT imaging.Öğe Cost-Effectiveness of Breast Cancer Screening in Turkey, a Developing Country: Results from Bahçeşehir Mammography Screening Project(Aves Press Ltd, 2017) Özmen, Vahit; Gürdal, Sibel Özkan; Cabıoğlu, Neslihan; Özçınar, Beyza; Özaydın, Ayşe Nilüfer; Kayhan, Arda; Alagöz, OğuzhanObjective: We used the results from the first three screening rounds of Bahcesehir Mammography Screening Project (BMSP), a 10-year (20092019) and the first organized population-based screening program implemented in a county of Istanbul, Turkey, to assess the potential cost-effectiveness of a population-based mammography screening program in Turkey. Materials and Methods: Two screening strategies were compared: BMSP (includes three biennial screens for women between 40-69) and Turkish National Breast Cancer Registry Program (TNBCRP) which includes no organized population-based screening. Costs were estimated using direct data from the BMSP project and the reimbursement rates of Turkish Social Security Administration. The life-years saved by BMSP were estimated using the stage distribution observed with BMSP and TNBCRP. Results: A total of 67 women (out of 7234 screened women) were diagnosed with breast cancer in BMSP. The stage distribution for AJCC stages O, I, II, III, IV was 19.4%, 50.8%, 20.9%, 7.5%, 1.5% and 4.9%, 26.6%, 44.9%, 20.8%, 2.8% with BMSP and TNBCRP, respectively. The BMSP program is expected to save 279.46 life years over TNBCRP with an additional cost of $ 677.171, which implies an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $ 2.423 per saved life year. Since the ICER is smaller than the Gross Demostic Product (GDP) per capita in Turkey ($ 10.515 in 2014), BMSP program is highly cost-effective and remains cost-effective in the sensitivity analysis. Conclusion: Mammography screening may change the stage distribution of breast cancer in Turkey. Furthermore, an organized population-based screening program may be cost-effective in Turkey and in other developing countries. More research is needed to better estimate life-years saved with screening and further validate the findings of our study.Öğe Diffusion-weighted imaging of adnexal torsion(Springer Heidelberg, 2009) Kılıçkesmez, Özgür; Taşdelen, Neslihan; Yetimoglu, Burcu; Kayhan, Arda; Cihangiroğlu, Mutlu; Gürmen, NevzatWe report the diffusion-weighted imaging findings (DWI) of a case with ovarian torsion. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large cyst within a non-enhancing ovary. DWI depicted restricted diffusion which in turn was found to be related with the infarction of the ovary in the laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy performed.Öğe Diffusion-weighted MRI of urinary bladder and prostate cancers(Aves, 2009) Kılıçkesmez, Özgür; Cimilli, Tan; İnci, Ercan; Kayhan, Arda; Bayramoğlu, Sibel; Taşdelen, Neslihan; Gürmen, NevzatPURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of diffusion-weighted imaging in the diagnosis of the urinary bladder and prostate carcinomas. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the malignant and normal tissues were correlated. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 23 patients with 14 urinary bladder carcinomas and 9 prostate carcinomas, and 50 healthy controls with normal ultrasonographic urinary bladder and prostate gland imaging findings were enrolled in the study. The ADC values were reported as the mean standard deviation. Student's t test was performed to compare the ADC values of the normal and pathological tissues. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) was performed with b factors of 0, 500, and 1000 s/mm(2), and the ADC values of the normal tissues and lesions were calculated. RESULTS The mean ADC value of the urinary bladder wall of the control group and bladder carcinomas were (2.08 +/- 0.22 x 10(-3) mm(2)/s) and (0.94 +/- 0.18 x 10(-3) mm(2)/s), respectively. In addition, the ADC values of the normal peripheral (2.07 +/- 0.33 x 10(-3) mm(2)/s), transitional zones (1.46 +/- 0.23 x 10(-3) mm(2)/s) of the prostate, seminal vesicles (2.13 +/- 0.13 x 10(-3) mm(2)/s) and the prostate carcinomas (1.06 +/- 0.17 x 10(-3) mm(2)/s) were calculated. The comparison of mean ADC values of the peripheral-transitional zones of the prostate, normal bladder wall-bladder carcinomas, and peripheral zone prostate carcinomas were statistically significant (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated that ADC measurement has a potential ability to differentiate carcinomas from normal bladder wall and prostate gland.Öğe Do the manipulations in pediatric inguinal hernia operations affect the vascularization of testes?(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2009) Bakırtaş Palabıyık, Figen; Cimilli, Tan; Kayhan, Arda; Toksoy, NurseliPurpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of manipulations performed in inguinal hernia operations on testicular perfusion, in pediatric age group using Doppler ultrasonography (DUS). Methods: In this prospective clinical trial, 51 boys who underwent elective inguinal hernia repair were examined before the operation and in early-late postoperative periods. Blood flow indices of centripetal and capsular arteries including peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), and resistivity index (RI) were examined by DUS. Results: There was a statistically significant increase in early postoperative PSV and R1 values compared with preoperative findings. These values turned to normal in late postoperative period. The increase in early and decrease in late postoperative EDV values were not statistically significant compared to preoperative findings. Conclusions: The surgical manipulations performed in inguinal hernia operations in children cause transient changes in testes vascularization in early postoperative period but turns to normal late postoperatively.

The objectives of this prospective observational study are to determine implementation of a population-based organized breast cancer screening program in Turkish women and to find out the effect of screening on stage shift. Materials and Methods: A total of 3758 women within 40-69 years of age were recruited in this prospective study. The screening was done biannually and five rounds were planned. After completing a clinical breast examination (CBE), two-view mammograms were obtained and classified according to Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) of the American College of Radiology (ACR). True positivity, false positivity, positive predictive values (PPV) according to ACR, cancer detection rate, minimal cancer detection rate, axillary node positivity and recall rate were calculated. Results: Seventeen cancers were detected in the first round. The overall cancer detection rate was 4.5 per 1000 women. Minimal cancer detection rate and axillary node positivity were 52.9 % and 11.7 %, respectively. A positive prediction for biopsy was 32%. The overall recall rate was 18.4 %. Discussion: These are the first round results of the screening project. Our results showed that screening can be done effectively in a population based organization.Öğe Incidental Detection of Coronary Artery Calcifications on Non-Cardiac Thoracic Ct Examinations(Marmara Univ, Fac Medicine, 2009) Kılıçkesmez, Kadriye Orta; Kılıçkesmez, Özgür; Taşdelen, Neslihan; Kara, Duygu; Işık, Yüksel; Kayhan, Arda; Gürmen, NevzatObjective: Strong relationships have been demonstrated between the presence of occlusive coronary artery disease and coronary artery calcifications detected at autopsy, fluoroscopy, or computed tomography (CT). The aim of our study was to evaluate the frequency of incidental coronary artery calcifications during thoracic CT examinations and to correlate them with cardiac risk factors. Materials and Methods: Thoracic CT scans obtained over a period of 6 months from 113 patients (72 male and 41 female) with a mean age of 62,7 (31-92 years) were retrospectively evaluated. The thoracic scans were performed using standard 9 mm consecutive slices from the apex to the base of the thorax, using a standard thoracic protocol, on a Siemens 16 channel multislice CT scanner. Coronary arteries were evaluated for calcifications. Results: Thirty-seven patients (32.7%) had coronary calcifications. 18 patients (15.9%) had one, 9 patients (7.9%) two, 7 patients (6.2%) three, and 3 patients (2.6%) had four vessels with calcifications. The frequency of coronary calcifications was correlated with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, nicotine abuse, and cardiomegaly. Diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, cardiomegaly and male gender were significantly associated with coronary calcifications (p< 0.05). Conclusion: With the advent of multislice faster CT scanners, coronary artery calcifications are more frequently and easily detectable during non-cardiac thoracic CT examinations. This retrospective study showed increased incidence of coronary calcifications in patients with cardiac risk factors. Among these factors diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, cardiomegaly and male gender were statistically significant.Öğe Meme kanserli olgularda operasyon öncesi dinamik kontrastlı meme manyetik rezonans görüntülemenin cerrahi planlamaya katkısı(2012) Sever, Ali; Kayhan, Arda; Cimşit, Çağatay; Kaya, Handan; Güllüoğlu, Bahadır; Arıbal, ErkinAmaç: Meme kanserli olgularda, hastalığın evresinin doğru saptanması ve geri ye tümör dokusunun bırakılmaması uygun tedavi planlamasında belirleyici rol oynamaktadır. Meme manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG), meme kanserli olgularda preoperatif cerrahi planlamasında kullanımı artan bir modalitedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, prospektif olarak, meme kanserli kadınlarda, cerrahi önce si elde edilen meme MRG’nin cerrahi tedavi planlamaya katkısını araştırmaktır. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 30 hasta dahil edildi. Lezyonlar Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) sınıflamasına göre 6 kategoride tanım landı. Veriler meme MRG incelemesi sonucu cerrahi planlamada yapılan değişik lik açısından analiz edildi. Bulgular: Hastaların primer tümör boyutları ile meme MRG ve histopatolojik değerlendirme ile ölçümlerinin yüksek düzeyde korelas yon gösterdiği saptandı (r:0.796, p:0.00). Meme MRG ile 11 hastada (%36) 14 ek lezyon saptandı. İki hasta hariç tüm olgularda histopatolojik değerlendirme so nuçlarının MRG bulguları ile uyumluluk gösterdiği görüldü. Tüm hasta grubunda meme MRG bulgularının cerrahi değişikliğe neden olduğu hasta oranı %17 idi. Mastektomi planlanan 16 olgunun 1’ine (%6.5) senkron kontrlateral meme kan seri nedeniyle ek meme koruyucu cerrahi (MKC) yapıldı. MKC planlanan olgula rın 4’ünde (%28) cerrahi plan mastektomi olarak değiştirildi. Hastaların 1’inde primer kanserin sınırları ve uzanımları, meme MRG ile daha net ortaya kondu ve MKC’den vazgeçilerek mastektomi uygulandı. Sonuç: Meme MRG bulgularının MKC planlanan hastalarda cerrahi planı de ğiştirebileceği klinik ve mamografik olarak saptanmış olup; preoperatif kont rastlı meme MRG’nin klinik ve mamografik saptanamayan okült invaziv ve no ninvaziv meme kanserlerinin yakalanmasında, tümör evrelemesinde, cerrahi planlamada rol oynadığı düşünülmektedir.Öğe Molecular profiles of screen detected breast cancers: Final results of Turkish Bahcesehir breast cancer screening project(Amer Assoc Cancer Research, 2013) Cabıoğlu, Neslihan; Gürdal, Sibel Özkan; Kayhan, Arda; Özaydın, Ayşe Nilüfer; Özçınar, Beyza; Arıbal, Erkin; Özmen, Vahit[No Abstract Available]Öğe Molecular profiles of screen-detected breast cancers from a Turkish breast cancer screening program(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2013) Cabıoğlu, Neslihan; Gürdal, Sibel Özkan; Kayhan, Arda; Özaydın, Nilüfer; Arıbal, Erkin; Özmen, Vahit[No Abstract Available]Öğe Multidetector CT angiography versus arterial duplex USG in diagnosis of mild lower extremity peripheral arterial disease: Is multidetector CT a valuable screening tool?(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2012) Kayhan, Arda; Palabiyik, Figen; Serinsoz, Serdar; Kiris, Adem; Bayramoğlu, Sibel; Williams, Joshua T. B.; Cimilli, TanObjective: To prospectively compare the efficacy of 40-row multidetector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and duplex ultrasonography (DUS) to diagnose mild peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) in lower leg and to search whether MDCTA can be used as a screening tool. Methods: Forty-three patients with intermittent claudication and leg pain, diagnosed as mild PAOD, had undergone DUS and MDCTA of lower limb. The arteries of lower leg were initially scanned by DUS, followed by MDCTA. Both modalities were compared for detecting the obstructed and stenotic segments. Results: A total of 774 vessel segments were imaged by both modalities. When all arteries were considered, MDCTA detected obstructed or stenotic lesions in 16.8% of arteries, versus 11.1% compared to DUS. When suprapopliteal arteries alone were considered, MDCTA detected lesions in 15.0% of arteries, versus 11.0% with DUS. When infrapopliteal arteries only were considered, MDCTA detected lesions in 19.6% of arteries, versus 11.3% with DUS. MDCTA showed 5.7% (95% CI: [3.5%, 7.9%]) more lesions than DUS when all arteries were considered together, 8.3% (95% CI: [4.6%, 12.0%]) more lesions when only the infrapopliteal arteries were compared, and 4.0% (95% CI: [1.3%, 6.8%]) more lesions when only suprapopliteal arteries were compared (p < 0.01 for all comparisons). Conclusion: 40-row MDCTA may be used as a screening tool in patients with mild lower extremity PAOD as it is a non-invasive and more accurate modality when compared to DUS.

Three different lateral depths as 0 (surface drip), 10 and 20 cm (subsurface drip) and four different irrigation (50, 75, 100 and 125 % of Class A pan evaporation). The seasonal evapotranspiration ranged from 337.1 and 715.4 mm depending on irrigation water applied. The highest onion yield obtained in the treatment which lateral was buried in 20 cm depth and the amount of irrigation water was applied based on 125 % of Class A pan evaporation. It can be said that the total marketable onion yield increases as the amount of lateral depth and applied irrigation water increases. The irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) changed from 4.03 to 18.30 kg m-3 while the water use efficiency (WUE) changed from 2.61 to 6.86 kg m-3. The highest IWUE and WUE obtained in the treatment which lateral was buried in 20 cm depth and the amount of irrigation water was applied based on 50% of Class A pan evaporation. © 2019, Horticulture Society of India.

Our aim was to examine the biologic features and outcome of screen-detected and interval breast cancers during the 10-year study period. METHODS Between 2009 and 2019, 2-view mammograms were obtained at 2-year intervals for women aged 40 to 69 years. Clinicopathological characteristics including ER, PR, HER2-neu, and Ki-67 status were analyzed for those diagnosed with breast cancer. RESULTS In 8,758 screened women, 131 breast cancers (1.5%) were detected. The majority of patients (82.3%) had prognostic stage 0-I disease. Contrarily, patients with interval cancers (n = 15; 11.4%) were more likely to have a worse prognostic stage (II-IV disease; odds ratio [OR], 3.59, 95% CI, 0.9 to 14.5) and high Ki-67 scores (OR, 3.14; 95% CI, 0.9 to 11.2). Interval cancers detected within 1 year were more likely to have a luminal B (57.1% v 31.9%) and triple-negative (14.3% v 1%) subtype and less likely to have a luminal A subtype (28.6% v 61.5%; P = .04). Patients with interval cancers had a poor outcome in 10-year disease-specific (DSS) and disease-free survival (DFS) compared with those with screen-detected cancers (DSS: 68.2% v 98.1%, P = .002; DFS: 78.6% v 96.5%, P = .011). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest the majority of screen-detected breast cancers exhibited a luminal A subtype profile with an excellent prognosis. However, interval cancers were more likely to have aggressive subtypes such as luminal B subtype or triple-negative cancers associated with a poor prognosis requiring other preventive strategies. (c) 2020 by American Society of Clinical OncologyÖğe Quantitative Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Normal and Diseased Uterine Zones(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2009) Kılıçkesmez, Özgür; Bayramoğlu, Sibel; İnci, E.; Cimilli, T.; Kayhan, ArdaBackground: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been established as the best imaging modality for the detection, localization, and staging of uterine cancers. Recently, the usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of cancers has been reported in several studies. Purpose: To calculate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of normal uterine zones as well as benign and malignant uterine diseases, and to determine a cut-off ADC value for the quantitative detection of uterine malignancies with DWI. Material and Methods: Eighty-seven patients (mean age 53 years) with 107 benign and malignant uterine pathologies and 50 healthy controls (mean age 38 years) were enrolled in the study. DWI was performed with b factors of 0, 500, and 1000 s/mm2. Results: The ADC values of benign and malignant lesions were compared using Student's t test. The mean and the standard deviation of the ADC values of the control group were as follows: myometrium 1.760.1910-3 mm2/s, junctional zone 0.990.1810-3 mm2/s, endometrium 1.650.3310-3 mm2/s, and cervix 1.710.1710-3 mm2/s. There was a statistically significant difference among the ADC values of normal myometrium and leiomyomas (1.470.3610-3 mm2/s; P0.009), endometrium and endometrial carcinomas (0.860.1310-3 mm2/s; P0.001), myometrium-junctional zone and adenomyosis (1.240.2010-3mm2/s; P0.001), and cervix and cervical carcinomas (0.910.1410-3 mm2/s; P0.001). The ADC values differed significantly between malignant (0.880.11) and benign lesions (1.550.33; P0.01). A cut-off value for malignant lesions of 1.0510-3 mm2/s yielded a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 95.83%, 94.55%, and 94.94%, respectively. Conclusion: The present study shows that ADC measurements have the potential to quantitatively differentiate between normal and cancerous tissues of the uterine zones. We propose adding DWI as an adjunct sequence in the MR protocol for the assessment of uterine lesions.
