Use of Shear Wave Elastography to Evaluate Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women.
To compare the shear wave elastography (SWE) values of perineal tissues in female patients with stress urinary incontinence and those without incontinence. ⋯ SWE is a promising new imaging method in the evaluation of urethral hypermobility in stress urinary incontinence. Key Words: Ultrasonography, Shear wave elastography, Stress urinary incontinence, Transperineal ultrasonography.

Case ReportsCraniofacial Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: A Rare Case Report.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare haematological disorder characterised by accumulation and abnormal proliferation of bone marrow-derived Langerhans cells and mature eosinophils. The clinical presentation of patients with LCH may be localised or systemic, depending on the site and the degree of involvement. ⋯ In this report, we present a case of LCH involving the craniofacial bones in a 10-year boy, who presented initially with multiple ulcerative lesions on gingiva. Key Words: Craniofacial, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Gingiva.

Observational StudyRisk Factors of Postoperative Clinically Relevant Pancreatic Fistula following Distal Pancreatectomy with Stapler Closure.
To analyse clinicopathological variables to determine risk factors of postoperative pancreatic fistula in patients having distal pancreatectomy with stapler closure. ⋯ Soft pancreatic texture is independently predictive of clinically relevant POPF following distal pancreatectomy with stapler closure. However, reinforcement of the stapler line with extra sutures decreases the risk of clinically relevant POPF. Key Words: Distal pancreatectomy, Pancreatic fistula, Stapler closure, Suture reinforcement.

Post-exposure Rabies Prophylaxis for Children in Southern Turkey.
To evaluate the prophylaxis practices used on children with animal exposures in a major southern city of Turkey, close to the Syrian border. ⋯ Risky contacts were mostly due to stray animals. Efforts to minimise the stray animal population should be increased. The rate of discontinuation of rabies prophylaxis follow-ups was 16%. Significantly higher prophylaxis discontinuation among the immigrant population was noted. Key Words: Rabies, Vaccines, Prophylaxis, Turkey.
