    Clinical and Demographic Characteristics of Hidradenitis Suppurativa Patients Application to the Dermatology Clinic of a University Hospital: A Prospective Study
    (Turkiye Klinikleri, 2023) Sula B.; Ekinci Ü.
    Objective: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) or acne inversa is a chronic, inflammatory, recurrent skin disease characterized by painful, deeply located, inflammatory lesions that occur mostly after puberty. It is more common in areas of the body rich in apocrine glands, such as the ax-illa, inguinal and anogenital regions. In our study, we evaluated the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of patients diagnosed with HS and diagnosed with HS for the first time, who applied to the dermatology policlinic. Material and Methods: Fifty patients diagnosed with HS and diagnosed with HS for the first time, who applied to the dermatology department polyclinic were included in the study. Sociodemographic characteristics and clinical findings of the patients included in the study were recorded. All patients who met the diagnostic criteria for HS were included in the study. Results: The mean age of onset of HS was 22.52 years and it was more advanced in males (p=0.001). The mean delay time in the diagnosis of HS was 73.66 months and it was shorter in men (p=0.003). 68% of the patients were in the overweight, obese and morbidly obese categories. 72% of the patients had a history of smoking. In our study, the patient density was higher in moderate and severe Hurley stages (Hurley stage II 48% and stage III 32%). The axillary region (90%) and inguinal region (70%) and interbreast and submammary region (46%) were most frequently affected. In men, axillary and atypical localization regions were significant, while in women, the location between and below the breasts was significant (p<0.05). The severity of the disease was associated with smoking history, localization in the axilla, inguinal and gulteal region, total number of affected areas, and accompanying follicular occlusion components (p<0.05). Conclusion: Although the number of patients in our study was limited, it will also contribute to the epidemiology of HS in our country. The data we obtained; although it is similar to the data of our country and other countries, it shows some differences. This suggests that genetic and ethnic factors, smoking and dietary habits may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of HS. © 2023 by Türkiye Klinikleri.

    Cutaneous and scalp metastases of pancreatic carcinoma: Case report
    (2011) Küçüköner M.; Kaplan M.A.; Inal A.; Sula B.; Firat U.; Uçmak F.; Işikdoğan A.
    Pancreatic carcinomas are very rapidly progressing tumors. Approximately 50% patients with newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer have many kinds of metastases. The most frequent sites of metastasis of the pancreatic carcinomas are the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, adrenal glands, kidneys and bones. Cutaneous metastases from pancreatic adenocarcinomas are very rare, far less common sites of pancreatic metastases are the scalp and skull metastases. The most common site of cutaneous metastasis is the umbilicus, there are scant reports of pancreatic cutaneous metasta sis at nonumbilical areas. In the literature, togetherness of cutaneous, scalp and skull metastases have not usually been reported and in our interesting case, we present these rare metastases together.

    Sexual dysfunction in male patients with Behçet's disease
    (Sociedade Portuguesa de Reumatologia, 2016) Yildiz M.; Batmaz Í.; Sula B.; Uçmak D.; Sariyildiz M.A.; Dàggülli M.; Türkçü F.
    Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate sexual dysfunction in male patients with Behçet's Disease in comparison to healthy control subjects. Material and Methods: Seventy-two sexually active male patients with Behçet's Disease and 62 healthy control subjects were included in this study. Patients' demographic and clinical characteristics were noted. Sexual function was assessed by means of the International Index of Erectile Function scoring system. In addition, disease-related quality of life was measured by means of the Nottingham Health Profile, and anxiety and depression levels were assessed by means of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Results: Patients with Behçet's Disease scored significantly lower in each of the 5 parameters of International Index of Erectile Function (p < 0.001) and significantly higher in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale compared to healthy control subjects (p < 0.001). International Index of Erectile Function scores correlated with age, duration of disease and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Nottingham Health Profile scores in patients with Behçet's Disease (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Sexual function is impaired in male patients with Behçet's Disease, which might be associated by age, duration of disease, psychological status and quality of life.
