The differential diagnosis of sarcoidosis creates a challange due to tuberculosis also having lung and lymph node involvement. Because both diseases show granulomatous inflammation, it may not be possible distinguish in pathological specimens. As result the complexity tuberculosis, new markers for differentiation are being investigated.The aim our study is investigate value neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as marker differentiating tuberculosis.In study, 51 acid-fast bacilli (AFB) positive...
Rationale: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an ongoing pandemic, in which obesity, hypertension, and diabetes have been linked to poor outcomes. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) associated with these conditions may influence the prognosis of adults COVID-19. Objectives: To determine effect OSA on clinical outcomes patients Methods: The current prospective observational study was conducted three hospitals Istanbul, Turkey from March 10 June 22, 2020. participants were categorized as high-risk...
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a new method for the diagnosis and staging of lung disease, its use increasing worldwide. It has been used as means diagnosing cancer in initial stages, there are data supporting benign disease. The aim this study was to share our experience with EBUS-TBNA discuss diagnostic value.We retrospectively analyzed results related 159 patients who underwent at pulmonary medicine clinic between 2010 2013. We recorded...
Background: Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive asbestos-related pleural tumor. The incidence increasing with intensive use of asbestos in developing countries. We need easily accessible, inexpensive, and reliable method for determining the low survival time prognosis this aim our study was to investigate viability neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) platelet/lymphocyte (PLR) as prognostic indicators MM. Patients methods: Thirty-six patients MM, whose histopathologic diagnosis...
The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence discontinuation in smoking cessation outpatient clinic (SCC) and examine features noncompliance. We retrospectively included 1324 smokers into study. Patients were divided two groups, as those who discontinued (dropped out) follow-up (group 1) stayed 2). Of total smokers, 540 (40.8%) patients group 1. mean age, pack-years, Fagerstrom scores 1 lower than 2 (p = 0.001, p 0.008, 0.007, respectively). In addition, choice treatment...
Hypersensitivity reactions has been reported with COVID-19 vaccines. Acute eosinophilic pneumonia not yet after Sinovac/CoronaVac vaccine. A 73-year-old woman presented maculopapular rash, cough and dyspnea following injection. The complete blood count (CBC) indicated eosinophilia further evaluation of the CT bronchoscopy confirmed a diagnosis acute pneumonia. After methylprednisolone therapy, her rash resolved marked improvement dyspnea. She is still on treatment follow up period, we plan...
To analyze the extent of visceral pleural invasion (VPI) and its effect on survival along with place in determining T descriptor TNM staging our patients.A total 233 patients underwent lung resection. The data were retrospectively analyzed terms sex, age, histopathologic type, stage tumor, VPI, survival. Patients who had neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, distant metastasis, parietal invasion, operative mortality excluded.The median follow-up was 59 months (range 4-126). VPI PL0...
Background: Expiratory central airway collapse (ECAC) is abnormal narrowing during expiration. ECAC involves 2 different pathophysiological entities as tracheobronchomalacia and excessive dynamic (EDAC). Although the exact cause unknown, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently accompanied by ECAC. there are various publications on relationship between COPD ECAC, very few data for stent placement in patients with severe COPD. We share our results stenting among Methods: The...
Using innovative and scientific methods increases the rate of quitting in smokers. Short message service (SMS) is a communication tool widely used well integrated many people's daily lives. To increase adherence to appointments smoking cessation clinics (SCC), it thought that increased compliance could be achieved by falling outside traditional methods. SMS has been shown patients with SCC appointments.In this study, we aimed evaluate effect follow-up visits success.Case-control study.Our...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a game changer in many aspects of clinical practice.Acute exacerbations idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are known as serious events, which can reach mortality rate 50%, where viral infections may play role.We describe the case 64-year-old male patient with diagnosis IPF under antifibrotic treatment for 1 year; tested positive COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction test nasopharyngeal swab, and his chest computed tomography results were...
This study aims to investigate the role of endobronchial ultrasonography elastography in predicting malignancy.Between January 2016 and December 2016, a total 221 lymph nodes were biopsied using ultrasonography-guided transbronchial needle aspiration from 119 consecutive patients (69 males, 50 females; mean age 63.2±12.4 years; range, 16 86 years) included. Lymph scored by according their colors four categories before procedure. The strain ratio was calculated based on region interest after...
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is an system disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).The purpose of this review to investigate correlation between destroyed HIV and frequency pneumonia.Observational studies show that respiratory diseases are among most common infections observed in HIV-infected patients.In addition, pneumonia leading cause morbidity mortality patients.According articles literature, addition antiretroviral therapy (ART) or highly active (HAART),...
The cost-effectiveness and low rate of inadequate sampling with the use rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) along endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) is well established. Our aim in this study was to evaluate correlation ROSE during EBUS final cytologic diagnosis also see if might predict subtype lung cancer.All consecutive subjects who attended our clinic between January 2016 2019 for pathologic mediastinal and/or hilar lymph nodes (LNs)/mass using were enrolled into prospective study....
Recent articles revealed that an increased main pulmonary artery to ascending aorta ratio (PA/A) in thorax computed tomography (CT) correlated with hypertension, and might be linked a high probability of chronic obstructive disease (COPD) exacerbations.In this study, our aim was evaluate the clinical importance PA/A patients exacerbations COPD investigate its relationship number 1 year or short/long-term mortality after hospital discharge.One hundred fifty-six hospitalized for who fulfilled...
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have nocturnal oxygen desaturation (NOD) can be treated therapy (NOT) to avoid possible morbidity and mortality. Although there is no definite data recommending NOT alone, our aim evaluate the relationship between during six-minute walk test (6MWT) NOD in COPD. Fifty-five stable patients COPD were enrolled this study. The 6MWT oximetry performed. comorbid diseases respiratory failure excluded. In total, 55 (49 males 6 females,...
The Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), modified from Tolerance Questionnairre (FTQ), is used to determine whether a smoker trying quit will need nicotine replacement therapy treat with drawal symptoms. FTND has been translated into many languages and referred in the smoking literature worldwide. However, only few studies have examined psychometric propertiesof non-English versions. This study aimed assess properties of Turkish version FTND.Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was...
Cigarette smoking is one of the most common addictions worldwide. Muslim smokers reduce number cigarettes they smoke during Ramadan due to long fasting hours.We aimed share our experience in a cessation clinic by analyzing efficacy and adverse effects once-daily dosing bupropion or varenicline group compared with conventional non-fasting group.We analyzed 57 patients who attended 2014 2015, at least follow-up visit.

Data retrospectively collected, demographic features, comorbidities, laboratory findings, length hospital stay in-hospital...
The number of studies that target nonpharmacologic treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are increasing because no existing pharmacologic treatment modality COPD leads to significant improvement in lung function.Positive effects can be observed patients with using nutritional support alone or as an adjunct exercise. In this study, we aimed evaluate the awareness chest physicians about state COPD.A questionnaire consisting 15 multiple choice questions was conducted 121...
