To reevaluate urodynamic findings of bladder dysfunction (BD) in type 2 diabetic patients with patient characteristics and concommittant chronic complications.Patients (M/F:27/27) lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) underwent a detailed investigation. Urodynamic were classified as cystopathy [DC, characterized by impaired sensation, increased post-void residual urine (PVR) capacity decreased contractility], detrusor overactivity, outlet obstruction (BOO), urge stress incontinence or BD which...

Salvia officinalis, which has a high phenolic acid and flavonoid content, is powerful antioxidant anti-inflammatory herb. Inflammation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of many diseases could cause damage by means oxidative stress. The aim this study was to investigate activity S. officinalis formed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced experimental inflammation model. Four- five-month-old 42 female Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups. Three groups administered...

Objective: At present, metastatic bone involvement is usually assessed using scintigraphy, which has a high sensitivity but poor specificity. The objective of our study was to compare the sensibility 2-deoxy-2-[18F] fluoro-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) for detection metastasis in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose technetium 99m methylenediphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) scans were absolutely normal. Material and methods: This based...

Propolis is a natural bee product, and it has many effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihepatotoxic, anticancer activity. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential in vivo antiapoptotic properties of propolis extract on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation rats. Forty-two, 3- 4-month-old male Sprague Dawley rats were used six groups. LPS (1 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally inflammation, + propolis30, inflammation+propolis90 Thirty milligram/kilogram...

Introduction Burns are dynamic wounds that may present a progressive expansion of necrosis into the initially viable zone stasis. Therefore, salvage this is major subject focus in burn research. The beneficial effects mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on survival stasis have been previously documented. However, many gaps still exist our knowledge regarding underlying protective mechanisms. Hence, study was designed to evaluate pathophysiological basis MSCs prevention wound progression. Methods...

The aim of this study is to examine the therapeutic effects Olea europaea L. leaf extract on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver damage in rats. In experiments, 3- 4-month-old 28 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: control, O. extract, CCl4, and curative. CCl4 curative groups received (0.2 mL/kg) intraperitoneally for 10 days form hepatic injury. (80 mg/kg) was given orally group dissolved distilled water following 14 days. Hepatic antioxidant enzyme levels, p53,...

Abstract The aim of the present study is to evaluate relationship between immunohistochemical and histopathological prognostic factors metabolic fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) parameters in breast cancer. A total 94 female patients diagnosed with primary cancer (median age: 54.5 years, lesions size >15 mm) who underwent PET/CT imaging before any treatment were enrolled this retrospective study. Maximum average standardized...

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a toxic chemical that causes liver injury. CCl4 triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and unfolded protein response (UPR). UPR autophagy to deal with the damage. The aim of this study was investigate effect baicalein, derived from Scutellaria baicalensis, on CCl4-induced damage concerning ER autophagy. Two groups Wistar albino rats (n = 7/groups) were treated 0.2 ml/kg for 10 days without baicalein. Histological transmission electron microscopy (TEM)...

F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) PET/CT represents an imaging modality that is gaining increasingly more prominence in screening, staging, and therapeutic monitoring of malignant diseases. An incidental focus uptake different regions the body not uncommon finding during imaging. Patients with gastrointestinal tract findings comprise ∼3% overall patient group. The aim current study was to provide contributory information relation answer on most appropriate approach cases colonic F-FDG uptake.A...

Objective: Although radial artery (RA) removal for coronary revascularization is considered safe, there still considerable suspicion concerning adequate hand perfusion. We investigated the blood flow alterations in donor forearm by quantitative perfusion scintigraphy tests patients with RA conduits, and compared results between using different Allen test refill lengths. Methods: 50 undergoing bypass graft surgery grafts were investigated. Perfusion studies a detailed physical examination of...

It has been reported that dyslipidaemia impairs left ventricular systolic (LVs) and diastolic (LVd) functions, irrespective of atherogenic effects, in the setting coronary artery disease. The aim present study was to evaluate effects anti-lipidaemic therapy on LVs LVd functions by means multigated radionuclide ventriculography (RNV) subjects with signs preserved function.Eighteen patients (eight men, 10 women, mean age 50+/-10 years) were included study. While clinical examination treadmill...

To investigate the role of Tc-MIBI gated SPECT imaging following administration low-dose dobutamine plus nitrate (LDD+nitrate) in assessment left ventricular function and perfusion hibernate myocardial tissue.The study group comprised 29 patients diagnosed as having acute infarction. In first month post-infarction, was performed all at rest-dobutamine stress LDD+nitrate. Ejection fraction, end diastolic volume (EDV), systolic (ESV), stroke volume, extent score, reversibility score values...

CAVUSOGLU, Y., et al .: Reversible Myoglobinuric Renal Failure Following Rhabdomyolysis as a Rare Complication of Cardioversion. myoglobinuric renal failure following rhabdomyolysis that was related to repeated countershocks delivered for the treatment refractory recurrent VT and VF attacks during acute myocardial infarction is presented in this case report, which scan with technetium‐99m pyrophosphate has been used diagnosis extensive skeletal muscle damage. (PACE 2003; 26[Pt. I]:645–646)

A 37-year-old man with a history of thalassemia intermedia diagnosed 20 years earlier had fatigue, weakness, and yellowish discoloration the skin sclera. On physical examination he was noted to have only mild hepatomegaly. Cirrhosis hemosiderosis were by liver biopsy. Tc-99m SC bone marrow scintigraphy SPECT imaging demonstrated an unusual accumulation tracer in pelvis mimicking bladder. Two months later, In-111 extramedullary site at same location. Diagnosis confirmed CT scan guided needle
