Autocrine motility factor receptor expression implies an unfavourable prognosis in resected stage I pulmonary adenocarcinomas
Background : Pulmonary adenocarcinomas constitute a different histological subtype among the histological subtypes of non small cell lung carcinomas by showing comparably unfavourable rates of prognosis and different ... -
Bilateral elastofibroma dorsi: proper positioning for an accurate diagnosis
Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, slow-growing, ill-defined soft tissue tumor of the chest wall, most commonly located beneath the rhomboid major and latissimus dorsi muscles. It is usually unilateral, and bilateral involvement ... -
Detection of telomerase activity in bronchial lavage as an adjunct to cytological diagnosis in lung cancer
Objective: Definitive diagnosis of lung cancer with conventional methods may sometimes be difficult in clinical practice. Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein DNA polymerase that maintains the telomeric region of chromosomes ... -
Diagnostic implications of telomerase activity in pleural effusions
Dikmen, G; Dikmen, E; Kara, M; Sahin, E; Dogan, P; Ozdemir, N (European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2003)The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of telomerase activity for discrimination of malignant and benign pleural effusions. Pleural effusions were collected from 109 consecutive patients ... -
Disclosure of unnoticed rib fractures with the use of ultrasonography in minor blunt chest trauma
Objective: Rib fractures are the most common injuries resulting from blunt chest trauma. The sensitivity of chest X-rays in showing the rib fractures is limited particularly in those involving the cartilage part of the ... -
Giant ancient schwannoma of the posterior mediastinum cytologically misdiagnosed as a malignant tumour. A case report

Human hepatocyte growth factor levels in patients undergoing thoracic operations
Dikmen, E; Kara, M; Kisa, U; Atinkaya, C; Han, S; Sakinci, U (European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2006)Human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) is the most potent mitogen identified for alveolar type II cells, and may have other important functions in the repair of the alveolar epithelium and compensatory lung growth. A study ... -
Implantation metastasis caused by fine needle aspiration biopsy following curative resection of stage IB non-small cell lung cancer
Kara, M; Alver, G; Sak, SD; Kavukcu, S (Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2001)Fine needle aspiration is a useful procedure in the diagnosis of lung cancer. however controversy still remains as to whether it should be employed particularly in patients with operable lung cancer. We report herein a ... -

Ozdemir, N; Kara, M; Dikmen, E; Nadir, A; Akal, M; Yucemen, N; Yavuzer, S (Elsevier Science Bv, 2003)Objective: Thymectomy remains as the optimal treatment of choice in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), however, the selection criteria for surgery remains controversial. Methods: We examined the data charts of patients ... -
Prognostic implications of microscopic proximal bronchial extension in non-small cell lung cancer
Background. The loss of approximately one third of early stage lung cancer patients undergoing complete resection by the end of 5 years implies the existence of unknown or undetected factors at the time of operation. We ... -
