s high-risk of being FIT- and/or CRC-positive. These groups include males, individuals aged 60+ years and individuals who do not visit their GP regularly.This study compares characteristics of advanced stage, high grade serous ovarian cancer, presenting with high or low serum CA125 level. This was a retrospective cohort of 118 patients with high grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer, stages IIIC-IV diagnosed from January 1 1997 through January 9 2017. Patient demographics, tumour characteristics, surgical findings, chemotherapy protocols and clinical outcomes were collected. Three groups were evaluated group A 21 patients with CA125 serum level ≤152 U/ml, group B 97 patients with CA125 serum level >152 U/ml, group C 43 patients from group B with CA125 serum level >500 U/ml and less then 1000 U/ml. No significant difference was found between groups regarding age, stage at diagnosis, extent of residual disease or disease volume. More group A patients had surgery as primary treatment compared to groups B and C (p=.003, p=.022, respectively). CA125 level at recurrence was lower in group A as compared to the other groups (162.2 vs. 851.his study, patients with advanced stage, high grade serous EOC presenting with low serum CA125 levels have similar clinical outcomes as do patients with high serum CA125 levels.What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Further translational research is encouraged for this group of tumours to identify specific molecular markers that might lead to better understanding and treatment for the disease.Osteoblastoma is a rare benign bone tumour. It represents 1% of all primary bone tumours. Common locations are the vertebral column and long bones of the extremities. Although well documented in craniofacial locations, only occasional case reports describe orbital involvement. The authors present a case of a fronto-orbital osteoblastoma which posed a significant diagnostic dilemma. Despite early local recurrence, the molecular findings were supportive of a benign lesion.Background Despite the increasing burden of diabetes in Turkey, there is a lack of information regarding behaviors and accessibility factors associated with diabetes. This study aims to explore diabetes prevalence and to identify the associated health behaviors and accessibility factors. Research design and methods Data was gathered from TurkStat-Health Survey for the year 2014. 1996 individuals who had reported diabetes were matched to similar non-diabetes participants in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and comorbidities by using 11 nearest matching based on estimated propensity scores. Results The weighted point prevalence of diabetes among adults was 8.98%. Compared with smokers, non-smokers were less likely to develop diabetes (OR0.96; 95% CI0.95-0.97). Individuals engaging in regular physical activity were less likely to have experienced diabetes than individuals not engaging in any physical activity (OR0.51; 95% CI0.41-0.52). Conclusions Improving the health behaviors of individuals and promoting a culture of exercise, healthy food consumption and better planning of preventive services are necessary strategies to fight against diabetes in Turkey. Collaboration between health professionals will result in effective clinical decision making and the development of diabetes self-management programs. Ochronotic arthropathy (OcA) refers to excessive homogentisic acid (HGA) deposition in the musculoskeletal system. Our current understanding of OcA is limited, as there are less than a thousand alkaptonuria (AKU) cases reported in the literature. Herein, we investigated the rheumatological manifestations of OcA in a group of adult AKU patients. Adult AKU patients with symptoms suggestive of OcA were included. Patients underwent a detailed rheumatological assessment. Laboratory testing, including autoantibodies and radiological investig
