The EPHESUS registry will be the largest study conducted in Turkey evaluating the adherence to dyslipidemia guidelines both in secondary and high-risk primary prevention patients.

Preoperative CC in patients who underwent intermediate-risk NCNVS does not affect either perioperative management or outcome of surgery.

Fibular hemimelia (FH) is a congenital disease with a clinical spectrum ranging from mild fibular hypoplasia to fibular aplasia. There is no proven genetic factor. Some anomalies can accompany FH such as tarsal coalition, ulnar hemimelia, amelia, syndactyly, several extremity anomalies, renal anomalies and cardiac anomalies. Our case is about unilateral and incomplete type of right-side FH in a 14 years old female patient. Tibia was curved (bowing) and short. Disparity of measure with left lower extremity was monitored. Tarsal coalition in osseous form, tibial curve anomaly and small bone part placed in fibula distal region compatible with FH, were visualized. There was curved joint form in the same ankle with hemimelia compatible with ball and socket ankle deformity. Calcaneal inclination angle was 120°. The findings were compatible with pes planus.

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by structural and metabolic genetic dysfunction of the exocrine glands. Abdominal pain is the most common symptom in patients with cystic fibrosis within gastrointestinal symptoms. It is more commonly related to distal ileal obstruction syndrome. In patients with cystic fibrosis, the appendix is frequently distended due to an intense eosinophilic secretion but ironically, the incidence of acute appendicitis has been reported under the general population. Acute appendicitis in patients with cystic fibrosis commonly present with atypical symptoms. We present the case of cystic fibrosis with an acute appendicitis which had atypical radiologic and laboratory findings that were not compatible with the diagnosis. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical examination. As a result, it is of great importance to know that acute appendicitis in patients with cystic fibrosis can present with unusual clinical and radiological findings in order to avoid delayed diagnosis and related serious complications.
