From perspective of medical presentation of old age in Turkish visual media

Media is a fact which lives side by side with society. This research has been planned to see media socialized into the cinema and the company of Medicine with media and also to evaluate this case. It is also evaluated the social presentation of old-age subject in randomly choosen "4" Turkish films. Traditional perceptions in Turkish visual media have a line in the aspect of strengthening when old-age in this line is presented as weakness, faintness, not capable of doing work, being in the need of someone to be looked after, However, By this research, it is wanted to attract attention. Because there is a necessity for the presentation of ole-age blended with a new view as an inevitable life-span interms of Scientific Medicine Value

Anatomical landmarks at radiofrequency thermocoagulation applicatıon to trigeminal ganglion

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı trigeminal nevralji tedavisinde radyofrekans termokoagülasyon (RFTC) kullanımı sırasında ganglion trigeminalenin önemli komşulukları nedeniyle, olası komplikasyonların önlenebilmesi için anatomik yapı ve belirleyicilerin ayrıntılı olarak ortaya konulmasıdır. Materyal-Metot: Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Nöroşirurji polikliniğine 2008 yılı içerisinde müracaat eden trigeminal nevralji tanılı 5 olguya öncelikle medikal tedavi uygulanmış ve tüm olgular arasında tedaviye dirençli olan bir olgu, anatomik belirteçlerden yararlanılarak RFTC yardımı ile ganglion lezyonlanması yoluyla tedavi edilmiştir. Bulgular: Medikal tedaviye dirençli olan olgunun RFTC ile ganglion lezyonlama işlemi sonrasında ilk 3 aylık periyodda dirençli ağrı yakınması düzelmiş ve kronik ilaç kullanımı yakınmaların başlangıcından bu yana en az düzeye inmiştir. Sonuç: Trigeminal sinir ganglionunun RFTC ile lezyonlanma uygulaması medikal tedaviye dirençli olgularda erken dönemde etkin bir tedavi yoludur. Uygulama sırasında çevre yapıların hasarlanma olasılığı nedeniyle anatomik belirteçler yoluyla işlemin gerçekleştirilmesi büyük önem taşır.Purpose: The aim of this study is to find out anatomic landmarks and to prevent complications because of important relations of trigeminal ganglion with adjacent structures while using radiofrequency thermo coagulation (RFTC) for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Material-Method: At 2008 medical treatments were applied 5 cases which were apply to Afyon Kocatepe University School of Medicine Neurosurgery Department and among all of them only one patient with refractor to medical treatment was treated with the help of RFTC to ganglion neurolysis by using anatomical landmarks. Results: The refractory pain complaint of the case, which refractor to medical treatment was found to get better after RFTC ganglion neurolysis at first three mouths and using of chronic drug became minimal since the beginning of the complaints. Conclusion: Trigeminal ganglion neurolysis is an effective treatment at early periods for refractor cases to medical treatment. Surrounding structures injury possibility while application of this process its importance during the interventions via the anatomical landmarks

Vertigolu olgularda cerebellar asimetrinin değerlendirilmesi

PubMed: 19263348Aim: We aimed to evaluate the relevant methods of stereology to estimate cerebellar asymmetry according to gender in both adult right-handed vertigo cases and healthy cases. Material and Methods: The study included 14 adult control subjects and 18 patients with vertigo. The volumes of the cerebellar hemispheres were determined on MRI using the point-counting approach of stereological methods. Results: The mean (±SD) of the right cerebellar hemispheres in the patients with vertigo were 52.49±5.42 cm3 in males, 50.11±4.02 cm3 in females. The mean (±SD) of the left cerebellar hemispheres in the patients with vertigo were 53.11±3.70 cm3 in males and 49.73±4.69 cm3 in females. There was no significant quantitative evidence detected in terms of cerebellar asymmetry between sagittal plane estimates in the cases with vertigo in both genders (p>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences by genders between vertigo and control subjects (p>0.05). There was statistical significance only between right and left hemispheres in male control subjects (p=0.039) Conclusion: There was no cerebellar asymmetry between control and vertigo cases by gender. The stereological evaluation of cerebellar asymmetry or atrophy in humans in correlation with gender is of importance both for clinicians and anatomists. The technique is simple, reliable, inexpensive and unbiased
