<title>Abstract</title> Background Sepsis is an organ dysfunction that impairs response to infection. Inflammatory biomarkers have been used diagnose and monitor sepsis. The aim of the present study was determine role immature granulocytes (IGs) in monitoring sepsis treatment. Methods This two-center, prospective, observational included patients diagnosed with according Sepsis-3 criteria, who were followed-up adult intensive care units Bolu Izzet Baysal State Hospital Training Research (Bolu...

Background: In our study, the LDH, albumin, hemoglobin, neutrophile, thrombocyte, lymphocyte counts and prognostic significance of neutrophile-lymphocyte thrombocyte-lymphocyte ratios in NSCLC derived from these obtained during regular examinations patients were examined. Materials Methods: Histopathologically diagnosed non-small-cell-lung cancer between 2008 2010 included study. Before treatment, full blood count including routine count, biochemistry liver (AST, ALT, total protein,...

Multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) is a very promising system for wireless communication. However, MC-CDMA signals have high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which causes signal distortion because of the use high-power amplifier (HPA) in transmitter. Partial transmit sequences (PTSs) represent one most attractive PAPR reduction methods, but its computational complexity finding optimal phase vector impedes practical implementation. In this paper, we propose PTS based on...

Background: High-grade gliomas, with glioblastomas as the most frequently observed histologic subtype, are common primary brain tumours in adults. It is considered that inflammatory responses play a major role malignancies, including tumour progression. This study aimed to determine prognostic significance of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and thrombocyte (PLR) indicators systemic response (SIR) glioblastoma patients. Methods: A total 90 patients treated for were retrospectively...

Nutritional deficiency is common in critically ill hospitalized patients. This condition may be aggravated by increased dietary requirements and deficiencies nutrient absorption. study aimed to evaluate the associations between modified Risk Critically (mNUTRIC) score mortality morbidity patients with sepsis. In this prospective observational study, 78 sepsis were enrolled general intensive care unit over a 3-month period. Demographic clinical data laboratory results recorded followed up....

Objectives Osteoporosis accompanying chronic liver disease is well known; however, the exact prevalence unknown. No data on bone mineral density (BMD) of children with Wilson (WD) have been published so far. In this study, we aimed to investigate osteoporosis in childhood WD and observe probable positive effects penicillamine zinc therapy osteoporosis. Methods Thirty-one newly diagnosed sex age-matched 16 healthy were included. Mean age was 9.0±3.2 years (2 y). Bone content (BMC) BMD...

Tight junctions (TJs) organise paracellular permeability and they have an important role in epithelial endothelial cell polarity permanence of barrier function. It has been demonstrated that the Claudin family constitutes component them. In this study, we assessed expression patterns Claudin1, 4 7 whether any relation with prognosis patients pancreatic cancer.Expression 1,4 were examined by immunohistochemistry 25 a histopathological diagnosis cancer using semiquantitative scoring extent...

To examine the relation of hand preference to bilateral femoral bone mineral density (BMD), right and left total regional (neck, trochanter, intertrochanteric, Ward's triangle) proximal femur BMDs (g/cm2) were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorbtiometry (DEXA) in 32 right- 26 left-handed university students. The mean BMD right-handers trochanteric handed males greater than femur. Contrarily, left-handers had higher intertrochanteric side side. There negative correlations between R-L...

To investigate the status of oxidant/antioxidant balance in patients with multiple myeloma compared to healthy controls.This study was conducted on 40 and controls matched age sex. Serum total thiol, oxidative stress index (OSI), oxidant (TOS), antioxidant (TAS) were measured using colourimetric methods; paraoxonase-1 arylesterase enzyme activities also quantified.Serum thiol levels significantly lower (p = 0.0001, p 0.036 < respectively), whereas TOS OSI higher 0.0001 for both parameters)...

Esophageal and gastric cancer generally have a poor prognosis may share common risk factors. It has been demonstrated that the pesticide usage contribute to development of many types. In this study, relation between amount pesticides used in agriculture esophageal incidence was researched.Findings from data bank Ministry Health Provincial Directorate Cancer Records Center years 1998-2010 were used. All patients who diagnosed with histopathologically included. Data for annual obtained...

Our study investigates whether Native Thiol, Total Thiol and disulphide levels measured in serum of patients with prostate cancer prostatitis healthy subjects, have any role differential diagnosis.Patients followed up for histopathologically verified diagnosis 2016-2017 at the Medicalpark Gaziantep Hospital Urology Clinic were included study. (NT), (TT), Dynamic Disulphide (DD) by a novel automated method.NT, TT, DD, NT / TT ratios, DD ratio as 118.4 ± 36.8μmoL L, 150.3 45.3μmoL 15.9 7μmoL...

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common chronic infectious conditions causing mortality and severe outcomes, particularly in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). In this study, we aimed to determine prevalence predictors TB among PLWHA.We conducted a retrospective single-center study adults (≥18 years) PLWHA registered at our tertiary teaching research hospital between 2000 2016.A total 711 were included. Of whom, 633 (89.0%) male. Mean age was 36.53 ±11.55 years (range, 17-79)....

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a solid tumour of lymphocytes, important elements in the immune system. According to 2006 data, Turkey incidence was 6.5 per 100,000 males, and 4.4 females. The relationship between use pesticides development NHL has been extensively investigated many studies, it demonstrated that risk increased by exposure such compounds. Antalya region intensive agricultural activity. In this study, amount employed investigated.The study used data from 1995 2010 on patients...
