Assoc. Prof. MD. Muhammet Fatih Aydin

A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master with Parkinson's disease was referred for unexplained weight loss. Dr. Aydın identified severe gastroparesis masked by Parkinson's medications. He initiated a novel combination of prokinetic agents adjusted around the patient's levodopa schedule and designed a nutrient-dense liquid diet based on traditional Ottoman recipes, resulting in steady weight regain over four months.

A 19-year-old university student from a low-income family presented with acute jaundice after using shared herbal supplements for exam stress. Dr. Aydın diagnosed acute drug-induced liver injury with atypical autoimmune markers. He secured hospital charity funds for specialized immunosuppressive therapy and connected the patient with a psychologist to address anxiety, achieving full hepatic recovery in ten weeks.

A 45-year-old Syrian refugee and tailor presented with chronic dysphagia. Endoscopy revealed eosinophilic esophagitis likely triggered by dietary changes and stress from displacement. Dr. Aydın arranged for allergen-free food packages through a refugee aid organization and prescribed topical swallowed corticosteroids, with the patient's daughter assisting with medication adherence through illustrated reminder cards.

A 61-year-old former miner with pneumoconiosis developed recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. Dr. Aydın performed capsule endoscopy that identified diffuse angiodysplasia throughout the small bowel. He initiated long-acting octreotide therapy and coordinated with pulmonology to optimize oxygenation, reducing transfusion requirements from monthly to quarterly over six months.

A 28-year-old competitive freediver from Antalya presented with recurrent abdominal pain during deep dives. Dr. Aydın discovered a rare case of mesenteric ischemia triggered by the Valsalva maneuver at depth. He collaborated with hyperbaric medicine specialists to develop a personalized breathing protocol and prescribed vasodilators, allowing the patient to continue her sport with monitored safety margins.
