Objectives The number of original scientific researches on intracranial aneurysms has risen over the last 30 years. Despite the rise in the number of articles, there is no up-to-date exhaustive bibliometric research in the literature. This study aimed to contribute to the literature via a bibliometric analysis of the original scientific researches on intracranial aneurysms published over the last 30 years. Methods The literature review was done using the Web of Science. All articles and its citations containing aneurysm keywords were analyzed in the "title" section of articles published in the research areas: Neurosciences Neurology during 1980–2019. Correlation analyses between the number of articles produced by the countries and their economic and development indicators of gross domestic product, and Human Development Index were analyzed using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Linear regression analysis was utilized to estimate the number of articles to be published in the future. Results There were a total of 21,673 publications on intracranial aneurysms. Of these publications, 13,371 (61.7%) were articles. The three countries that produced the most articles were the USA (4098), Japan (2668), and China (937). A statistically significant correlation was found between the development indicators of world countries and publication productivity ( p<0.001). The three journals that produced the most publications were Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery, and American Journal of Neuroradiology. The most cited article was published in Journal of Neurosurgery. Conclusion This bibliometric study provides a collection of data that will help design future research on intracranial aneurysms more efficiently and make innovations at greater speed.

Objective: To evaluate the quality and reliability of carpal tunnel syndrome surgery videos on YouTube. Methods: A keyword set of "carpal tunnel syndrome surgery" was searched on YouTube. The DISCERN scoring system, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) scoring system, and Health on the Net (HON) ranking systems were used to evaluate the quality and reliability of the first 50 videos appeared in the search results. The characteristics of each video, such as the number of likes, dislikes and views, upload days, video length, and the uploader, were collected retrospectively. The relationships between the video quality and these factors were investigated statistically. Results: All of the featured videos sorted were found to be of poor content (mean DISCERN score [n = 1.71 of 5], mean JAMA score [n = 1.76 of 4], mean HON score [n = 5.65 of 16]). Yet, DISCERN scores of the videos uploaded by medical centers were higher than that of the others (p = 0.022). No relationship was detected between the other variables and video quality. Conclusion:Healthcare professionals and organizations should be more cautious when recording and uploading a video to the online platforms. As those videos could reach a wide audience, their content should provide more information about possible complications of a treatment and other treatment modalities.

Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde, İlahiyat fakültesi öğrencilerinin uzaktan eğitime ilişkin görüşleri ve karşılaştıkları problemleri ortaya koymayı amaçlayan bu çalışmada, karma yöntem benimsenmiş olup, yakınsayan paralel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırma evrenini 2020-2021 öğretim yılı Bahar döneminde Harran Üniversitesi İlahiyat Fakültesi'nde okuyan yaklaşık 1700 öğrenci oluştururken, araştırma örneklemini ise bu grubu temsilen 447 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak anket kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaşadıkları yerin, kullandıkları cihazın, internet bağlantı türü ve imkânlarının, uzaktan eğitime bakışlarını olumlu veya olumsuz yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. Araştırma sonucunda genel olarak katılımcılar, uzaktan * Etik Beyan: Bu çalışmanın hazırlanma sürecinde bilimsel ve etik ilkelere uyulduğu ve yararlanılan tüm çalışmaların kaynakçada belirtildiği beyan olunur. Makale en az iki hakem tarafından incelenmiş, Turnitin kullanılarak benzerlik raporu alınmış ve araştırma/yayın etiğine uygunluğunu teyit edilmiştir. Ethical Statement: It is declared that scientific and ethical principles have been followed while carring out and writing this study and that all the sources used have been properly cited. The article was reviewed by at least two referees, a similarity report was obtained using Turnitin, and compliance with research/publication ethics was confirmed.

Aim: To compare short and long term pain intensity changes and long term loss of correction rates in patients who were treated either by kyphoplasty or posterior segmentation due to their TLICS and LSC scores, therefore evaluate the specificity of these classifications. Material and Methods: Medical records of 106 patients operated due to thoracolumbar compression or burst fracture in our clinics between years 2012 to 2015 have been evaluated retrospectively. The patients were evaluated with postoperative radiography (loss of reduction) and visual analogue scale (VAS) in their follow-ups. Results: The average stay on hospital was 6.53 ± 4.51 days in kyphoplasty group. The mean preoperative cobb angle was 10.76±11.67 degrees, which improved to 10.19±10.66 degrees at postoperative 1th month. Beside this, the mean preoperative VAS score was 7.93±0.68 then improved to 4.25±0.77 and 2.75 ± 1.43 at postoperative 6th, 12th month follow-ups respectively. There were 42 patients in instrumentation group. The mean hospitalization was 13.47±10.43 days. The mean preoperative cobb angle was 15.84±10.52 and it improved to 11.86±8.15 degrees at the postoperative 1th-month follow-up. The preoperative VAS scores of the patients improved from 7.71±0.71 to 4.09±0.79 and 4.26±1.23 at 6th and 12th month follow-ups. Conclusion: In long term follow up the kyphoplasty group showed more loss of correction however lesser VAS scores comparing to the instrumentation group. Although evaluating TLICS scores to kyphoplasty patients is still based on case reports in our series it was performed to 64 patients.

Nöroşirürjide beyin omurilik sıvısı (BOS) fistülü önemli bir komplikasyondur. Hemopatch®’in (Sealing Hemostat – Baxter Healthcare SA, Avusturya) fibrin yapıştırıcı (Tisseel®, Baxter Healthcare SA, İsviçre) ile birlikte kraniyal cerrahide kullanımı ile birlikte literatür değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır. İntrakraniyal kitle nedeniyle ameliyat edilen ve dural kapanma aşamasında fibrin yapıştırıcı ile birlikte Hemopatch® kullanılan 4 hastanın ameliyat sonrası erken ve geç dönem sonuçları irdelendi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 62.25 ± 10.49 yıl ve ortalama takip süreleri 16.25 ± 3.27 hafta idi. Fibrin yapıştırıcılı Hemopatch® kullanılan hastaların tamamı kraniyal cerrahi (%75 pterional kraniyotomi, %25 retrosigmoid kraniyotomi idi) geçiren hastalardan oluşmaktaydı. Takip sonrasında geniş dura invazyonuna bağlı dural tabakanın tamamen çıkarılarak faysa ve xenogreft ile duraplasti yapılarak Hemopatch® uygulanan 1 hastada (Hasta 1) post operatif erken dönemde Beyin Omurilik Sıvısı (BOS) kaçağı oldu. Sonuç olarak, öncelikle Hemopatch®’in fibrin yapıştırıcılı kraniyal cerrahide dural örtücü olarak kullanılmasının uygulanabilirliğini ve güvenliğini ortaya koyduk.
