The effect of blood urea nitrogen/albumin ratio in the short-term prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(2021-02-05)
Objective: There is no definite laboratory parameter in predicting short-term prognosis in patients with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD). Our aim was to evaluate the prognostic effect of serum blood urea ...
Epicardial adipose tissue thickness is associated with myocardial infarction and impaired coronary perfusion
(2015)
Objective: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with the presence, severity and extent of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD)
in addition to subclinical atherosclerosis. We investigated if EAT thickness ...
Quality of life in patients with behcet's disease and recurrent aphthous stomatitis
(2015)
Background and Design: Behçet’s disease (BD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a
condition affecting oral health-related quality of life (QoL). In this study, we aimed ...
Angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor for patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: real-world experience from Turkey (ARNi-TR)
(2021-02)
Objective: Heart failure (HF) is a growing public health problem with high morbidity and mortality. Recently, angio tensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi) has emerged as a promising treatment for HF with reduced ...
Arterial stiffness and central arterial wave reflection are associated with serum uric acid, total bilirubin, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with coronary artery disease
(2015)
Objective: Total bilirubin (TB) was recently recognized as an endogenous anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant molecule. Uric acid (UA) takes part
in cardiovascular diseases by inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and ...
Role of inflammatory markers in decreasing negative appendectomy rate: A study based on computed tomography findings
(2017-11)
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the role of inflammatory markers in decreasing negative appendectomy rate (NAR)
based on their relation with findings of acute appendicitis (AA) on computed tomography (CT).
METHODS: ...
Average glandular doses and national diagnostic reference levels in mammography examinations in Turkey
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
In order to establish national diagnostic reference levels for mammography examinations, entrance skin air kerma, entrance skin dose and average glandular doses (AGDs) were calculated for a total of 25 624 cranio-caudal ...
Evaluation of the clinical effects of isotretinoin on chronic rhinosinusitis
(2011-6-17)
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the clinical effects of
isotretinoin (13-cis-retinoic acid), a derivative of retinoic acid,
on the clinical features of chronic rhinosinusitis.
Patients and Methods: The study ...
The relationship between serum uric acid levels and angiographic severity of coronary heart disease
(Via Medica, 2015)
Background: Many studies have shown that the serum uric acid (SUA) level is associated with atherosclerosis. Aim: To determine the relationship between the SUA level and the presence and severity of coronary heart disease ...
Tp-e/QT ratio and QT dispersion with respect to blood pressure dipping pattern in prehypertension
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)
Introduction Tp-e/QT, the ratio of the interval between the peak and the end of T wave to the QT interval, is a novel index of arrhythmogenesis. We investigate Tp-e/QT and QT dispersion (QTd) in prehypertensive and ...
