There are many surgical techniques for treating gynecomastia. We report a new surgical technique in an adolescent with fatty glandular gynecomastia grade III, who was referred from an endocrinologist to our clinic. We excised the gynecomastia with nipple repositioning utilizing the dermoglandular flap (about 1 cm thickness and 10 cm width). After one month, no complication was detected and the ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this prospective study was to examine the progression of fatty muscle degeneration over time in asymptomatic shoulders with degenerative rotator cuff tears. METHODS Subjects with an asymptomatic rotator cuff tear in 1 shoulder and pain due to rotator cuff disease in the contralateral shoulder were enrolled in a prospective cohort. Subjects were followed annually with...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Why some full-thickness rotator cuff tears are symptomatic and others are asymptomatic is not understood. By comparing MRI findings in symptomatic and asymptomatic tears, we wanted to identify any tear characteristics that differed between groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS 50 subjects with asymptomatic and 50 subjects with symptomatic full-thickness tears were examined by MR...

OBJECTIVES To study the effect of short-chain fatty-acids on atrophy and inflammation of excluded colonic segments before and after the development of diversion colitis. INTRODUCTION Diversion colitis is a chronic inflammatory process affecting the dysfunctional colon, possibly evolving with mucous and blood discharge. The most favored hypotheses to explain its development is short-chain fatt...

The structure of fatty acid-modified hydrogel objects (microgels) created within microfluidic devices for controlled-release or sensory applications was characterized by various imaging and spectroscopic methods. Imaging with scanning electron microscopy revealed that the surface was rough and irregular on the micrometer scale. Examination of planar model systems analogous to the modified micro...

The aim of this review is to address some characteristics that influence meat quality. Genetic groups, nutrition, finishing systems and gender are the major factors that change carcass characteristics, chemical composition and fatty acid profile. Genetic groups that have zebu genes in their composition show higher hot carcass dressing than genetic groups without zebu genes. Genetic groups that ...

A 30-month-old boy was brought in with the complaint of gradually increased size of his right lower extremity from birth. Soft tissue hypertrophy was detected in his right thigh, right dorsal region and scrotum. On the right leg, the skin had bluish discoloration. The leg was swollen and edeomatous. On plain radiography, we detected soft tissue hypertrophy, and there was length discrepancy betw...
