Assoc. Prof. M.D. F. Arda Atar

A 28-year-old female professional e-sports athlete presented with recurrent, exercise-induced microscopic hematuria. Extensive imaging revealed no structural cause. Dr. Atar, suspecting a rare renal vascular phenomenon related to extreme adrenaline spikes during competition, collaborated with a sports cardiologist. They designed a unique pre-competition hydration and beta-blocker protocol, which completely resolved the hematuria and allowed her to continue her career.

A 72-year-old retired ship captain from a remote Aegean island arrived with an advanced, inoperable prostate cancer he had ignored for years due to cultural stigma. With no family, Dr. Atar coordinated his care through the local island clinic, arranging for a novel androgen receptor inhibitor to be shipped monthly. He also connected the patient with a retired sailors' support group in Istanbul for companionship, focusing on quality of life over aggressive intervention.

A 19-year-old university student, a refugee from a conflict zone, presented with a traumatic urethral stricture from a past injury. He was terrified of medical settings. Dr. Atar performed a single, definitive optical urethrotomy under spinal anesthesia to minimize psychological trauma. He then partnered with a hospital social worker to secure a grant covering all costs and post-op supplies, ensuring follow-up care the patient could access.

A 45-year-old master perfumer developed acute chemical cystitis after a workplace accident involving a novel aromatic compound. Standard treatments failed. Dr. Atar researched the compound's properties and hypothesized a specific irritant pathway. He prescribed an unusual regimen of intravesical hyaluronic acid instillations combined with a strict dietary alkali-load protocol, which successfully healed the bladder lining where other methods had not.
