    Background The present study investigates cardiovascular risk and kidney damage in patients with solitary kidneys. Methods Included in the study were 40 children with a unilateral functioning kidney and 60 healthy controls, all of whom were evaluated for carotid intima-media thickness, ischemia-modified albumin and oxidative stress parameters, and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Results Serum creatinine and urine microalbumin levels were higher and creatinine clearance was lower in the patient group than in the control group, and serum ischemia-modified albumin, carotid intima-media thickness, aldosterone, plasma renin activity and blood pressure were all higher in the patient group than in the control group. In addition, the patient group was showed a non-dipper pattern. Conclusion Children with a normal functioning solitary kidney are likely at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and such patients should be followed closely before marked kidney impairment occurs.

    Forensic age estimation in living individuals by 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging of the knee: a retrospective MRI study
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018) Altınsoy, Hasan Baki; Alataş, Özkan; Gürses, Murat Serdar; İnanır, Nursel Türkmen
    Our aim is to analyse proximal tibial epiphysis and distal femoral epiphysis patterns according to the Dedouit staging method using 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with fast spin echo (FSE) for proton density images. In addition, we discuss the results in relation to the literature for forensic age estimation. In this study, images belonging to 195 female and 277 male patients ranging in age from 10 to 30 years who had a knee MRI for any reason in our Radiology Clinic between January 2014 and December 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. According to the Dedouit et al. five-stage method, they were evaluated by two radiologists. The ? value was calculated for intra-observer and inter-observer compliance. The evaluation of knee epiphysis patterns from MRI is an alternative, efficient, radiation-free and non-invasive method that is helpful in forensic age estimation. In particular, stage 5 in distal femoral epiphysis can determine the 21st year of life in both sexes, and proximal tibial epiphysis could present evidence of age 18 in males. It should be used for evaluation in addition to other methods for determining skeletal system maturity. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
