<title>Abstract</title> Background/aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on diaphragm muscle. Materials and methods A total 120 volunteers were divided into two groups: 60 healthy individuals diagnosed with diabetes. Both control group type 2 DM matched for thickness, diaphragmatic excursion, thickening fraction, costophrenic angle. All diabetic patients underwent electromyography assess possible neuropathy. These then subgroups based their peripheral...

Yangın, binalarda can ve mal kaybına neden olabilen bir risktir. Beton veya çelik gibi yapım sistemleri için yangın güvenlik önlemleri yaygın olarak bilinmekte uygulanmaktadır. Ancak bu çalışma kapsamında incelenen nispeten az bilinen uygulanan pnömatik (şişme) sistemler strüktürlerde riskleri, uygulama yöntemlerinin bilinirliği arttırılmalıdır. Pnömatik sistemlerde güvenliği riskleri bağlamında yapısal niteliklerden kaynaklanan risklerinin tanımlanması, analiz edilmesi alınması gereken...

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is an infection often occurring in neutropenic patients and has high mortality rates. In recent years, it been reported that the incidence of IPA also increased with chronic obstructive disease (COPD). The purpose this study to investigate clinical demographic characteristics treatment responses COPD. Seventy-one a positive culture Aspergillus from lower respiratory tract samples were examined retrospectively. Eleven (15.4%) these patients, affected...

Cognitive impairment is common among patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels and cognitive functions in OSAS.Thirty-three newly diagnosed OSAS 17 healthy-control subjects enrolled study. All individuals completed mini-mental state examination (MMSE) evaluate function. Blood samples were taken at end polysomnography morning...

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with poliangiitis (EGPA) which was previously called Churg-Strauss Syndrome, is classified into eosinophilic and vasculitic phases. To characterize the phases of disease in terms clinical findings, serology, treatment.We included 15 EGPA patients study. The clinical, serological, therapeutic characteristics treatment responses were recorded.Thirteen as being phase two EGPA. Initial symptoms worsening asthma all (n=15; 100%).
