Article Abstract
Background And Objective: The purpose of this study was to show that the half lives of serum amylase and lipase activities could be useful factors for follow-up management of biliary pancreatitis.
Methods: Ten patients with initial biliary pancreatitis (IBP) and six with post-endoscopic pancreatitis (PEP) were selected from those who had undergone endoscopic surgery. Serum amylase and lipase activities were examined and the relaxation patterns were investigated continuously after the endoscopic removal of the pancreatico-biliary obstruction causing this disease.
Results: Pancreatitis in the subjects was confirmed as a biliary type since the serum bilirubin activities decreased exponentially after removal of the obstruction. The average half lives of serum amylase and lipase were both larger in the IBP, while the average peak values were higher in the PEP.
Conclusions: Half life can be a useful factor for follow-up management of this disease.

Objective: This study aims to systematically evaluate the inter- and intra-observer agreement regarding lesions with uncertain malignancy potential in Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT imaging of prostate cancer patients, utilizing the PSMA-RADS 2.0 classification system, and to emphasize the malignancy evidence associated with these lesions.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT images of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer via histopathology between December 2016 and November 2023.
Novel Prognostic Scoring Systems for Severe CRS after Anti-CD19 CAR-T-Cells in Acute B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Objective: To develop a novel prognostic scoring system for severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) treated with anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy, aiming to optimize risk mitigation strategies and improve clinical management.
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 125 B-ALL patients who received anti-CD19 CAR-T-cell therapy from January 2017 to October 2023. These cases were selected from a cohort of over 500 treated patients on the basis of the availability of comprehensive baseline data, documented CRS grading, and at least 3 months of follow-up.
Comparison of antirotation proximal femoral nail and talon locking nail systems in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures: functional and cost-effectiveness outcomes.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Aybars Kıvrak Orthopedics Clinic, Adana, Turkey.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of two widely used intramedullary fixation systems-the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) and the Proximal Femoral Nail with Talon Locking System (PFN-TLS)-in the treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures (ITFF).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 118 patients aged 65-90 years who underwent surgical treatment for ITFF using either PFNA (n = 53) or PFN-TLS (n = 65). All patients were followed for a minimum of 24 months.

Introduction: Recent advancements in surgical techniques and perioperative care have improved cancer survival rates, yet postoperative comorbidity and mortality remain a critical concern. Despite progress in cancer control, systematic analyses of long-term mortality trends and competing risks in surgery-intervened cancer populations are lacking. This study aimed to quantify temporal patterns of postoperative mortality causes across 21 solid cancers and identify dominant non-cancer risk factors to inform survivorship care strategies.
