Is there a difference between aortic and brachial vein blood lipoprotein and total cholesterol levels?
Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arteries that is not practically observed in veins. There are a lot of proposed mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. We aimed to compare the lipoprotein and total cholesterol levels in aortic and venous blood samples. ⋯ Aortic lipoprotein and total cholesterol levels are significantly lower than venous lipoprotein and total cholesterol levels in patients presenting to the hospital for coronary angiography.

Maternal temperament and anxiety sensitivity in children with foreign body aspiration.
Foreign body aspiration is one of the childhood emergencies that thoracic surgeons are interested in, and it can cause morbidity and mortality. Although the relationship between various behavioral problems related to children and foreign body aspiration has been investigated so far, there is no study investigating the relationship between maternal temperament and anxiety sensitivity. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal emotional temperament, anxiety sensitivity, and foreign body aspiration. ⋯ As a result of the study, it can be concluded that mothers' anxious temperament can be considered a risk factor for foreign body aspiration because it affects parenting skills and children's ability to manage behavioral problems. Consistent results could be able to be obtained with studies including larger samples on the subject.

The effect of positron emission tomography/computed tomography in axillary surgery approach after neoadjuvant treatment in breast cancer.
The aim of this study was to determine the role of positron emission tomography/computed tomography in the decision to perform axillary surgery by comparing positron emission tomography/computed tomography findings with pathology consistency after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. ⋯ Positron emission tomography/computed tomography was found to be useful in the evaluation of clinical response, but it was not sufficient enough to predict a complete pathological response. When planning axillary surgery, axillary lymph node dissection should not be decided only with a positive positron emission tomography/computed tomography. Other radiological images should also be evaluated, and a positive sentinel lymph node biopsy should be the determinant of axillary lymph node dissection.
