    Background: Precise adjustment of tip rotation and projection harmonious with nasal dorsum is important in rhinoplasty. The use of septal extension graft for rotation and projection enhancement has been the most reliable surgical technique recently. It is also an efficient graft to increase the tip projection effectively and permanently. Objective: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the ability to adjust tip rotation and projection with the use of rotational septal extension graft in accordance with the needs of the patient. Materials and Methods: Rotational septal extension graft was applied in 21 patients who underwent rhinoplasty. It is fixed with a dental needle to provide desired projection to the caudal septum. In this way, the rotation of the graft pivoting around the needle in caudal or dorsal direction can allow precise adjustment. In the position where rotation and projection are evaluated appropriate, the graft is fixed with sutures. They were followed in average 12 months (between 6 and 18 months). Results: Eight of these patients were revision cases and 13 were primary cases. The targeted rotation and projection results were achieved in all patients. All patients had satisfactory aesthetic results. Conclusions: Rotational septal extension graft allows effective rotation adjustment as well as adequate projection and can be rotated in the desired direction around the dental needle.

    Objective: This study aims to examine the frequency, types, and clinical significance of incidental findings in cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and their implications for patient care. Materials and Methods: A total of 331 cervical MRI scans were reviewed retrospectively at Karabük University Research and Teaching Hospital between April 2022 and April 2023. Patients presenting with arm and neck pain or symptoms suggesting abnormalities of the cervical spine were included; those whose images were affected by artifacts were excluded. Incidental findings were recorded and categorized according to their type, location, and potential clinical significance. Results: Our cohort consisted of 221 female patients (69%) and 101 male patients (31%), amounting to a total of 322 patient records. Loss of cervical lordosis (71%) and cervical disc herniation (92%) were the most prevalent findings in the cervical spine. Additional findings included syringomyelia, cerebellar tonsillar herniation, and empty sella. After being diagnosed with thyroid cancer, one patient received appropriate care. The distribution of incidental findings by gender was not statistically significant. This study highlights the frequency and variety of incidental findings in cervical MRI scans, along with their possible clinical significance. The findings are consistent with earlier studies, highlighting the necessity of carefully analyzing these results to detect potentially fatal disorders. Conclusion: It is crucial not to overlook incidental abnormalities in cervical MRI scans for the early identification of clinically relevant disorders. Future research should concentrate on creating uniform protocols for handling incidental results to successfully balance clinical benefits and resource consumption.

    Abstract Background Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are an important health problem that can cause serious side effects and treatment failures, especially in pediatric patients. Healthcare professionals' knowledge, attitudes and clinical practices about DDI play a critical role in preventing these risks. The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and clinical practices of pediatric physicians about DDIs and to examine the relationship of these factors with demographic characteristics. Method Demographic characteristics, DDI education status, knowledge levels and clinical practices of the participants were evaluated with questionnaires and knowledge tests. Statistical analyses included correlation, t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analyses. Results A total of 290 pediatricians were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 46.9 years, and 61.4% had received DDI training. The highest correct response rate (94.8%) was observed in the question about nephrotoxicity risk, while the lowest rate (31.4%) was observed in the question about the use of evidence-based resources. 45.2% of the participants evaluated their knowledge level as insufficient. In clinical practice, 47.2% sometimes and 12.4% always perform DDI checks, while 37.2% never do checks. A weak but significant negative correlation was found between age and knowledge level, and the effect of other variables was not significant. Conclusion The DDI knowledge of pediatricians is at a moderate level, and there are some gaps, especially in the use of evidence-based resources. Dissemination of clinical decision support systems and continuous training are necessary to improve drug safety and patient care quality.
