The aim of this study was to seek whether red cell distribution width (RDW) has a role in the diagnosis acute appendicitis. It also aimed show relationship RDW with leukocyte count and C-reactive protein (CRP) level.This conducted via retrospective assessment hospital records adult patients who were operated for appendicitis between January 2010 February 2013 had pathology report that confirmed control group selected from healthy adults similar age applied check-up clinic. Age, gender,...

Background:The level of platelet volume (MPV) has been reported to be a laboratory marker in inflammatory cases.Objectives: The aim this study was seek whether MPV role the diagnosis acute appendicitis.It also aimed show relationship with leukocyte count and C-reactive protein (CRP) level.Materials Methods: This conducted via retrospective assessment hospital records adult patients who were operated for appendicitis between January 2010 December 2012 had pathology report that confirmed...

NRBCs values other laboratory data were recorded form. Patients divided into three groups according (mild, moderate severe) two outcome (survivors non-survivors). <bold>Results:...

Earthquakes are sudden-onset natural disasters that associated with substantial material damage, resulting in the collapse of built environment a high rate mortality, injury, and disability. Crush syndrome, which can be seen after devastating earthquakes, lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) patients may require amputation, fasciotomy, dialysis. Supportive treatment has an important role prognosis these patients.The aim this study was investigate demographic clinical characteristics traumatic...

Objective To compare the serum mean platelet volume (MPV) in patients with testicular torsion and healthy control subjects. Methods This retrospective study compared clinical demographic data from who underwent surgery for controls. Testicular was diagnosed a physical examination Doppler ultrasonography. Age, leukocyte count, count MPV were recorded all participants. Results A total of 50 51 subjects enrolled. There no significant difference age between two groups. Patients had significantly...

We aimed to determine whether there are any alterations in red blood cell width patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis.This was a retrospective study of records treated emergency units and pancreatitis between January 2011 April 2013. Records were investigated regarding patient age, sex, causes pancreatitis. Red amylase values obtained from the during diagnosis after full recovery added records.Recorded 104 statistically compared according time sample collection. Samples collected...

Background: Brucellosis is an inflammatory disease which may infect any organs or systems in the body. Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) one of most frequently used surrogate markers platelet function. It reveals presence activity many diseases. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) a parameter that measures variation red size volume. Its predictive value approves and infectious Objectives: The current study aimed to determine assessment levels cases with acute brucellosis. Patients Methods:...

Background . Warfarin is a commonly used oral anticoagulant agent. The most common adverse effects of warfarin are bleeding complications. Methods We performed 1-year retrospective chart review emergency department patients using warfarin. A total 65 with disorder (study group) and 63 without (control were included, making up 128 subjects. Demographic data, frequency international normalized ratio (INR) checks, routine blood results extracted. Logistic regression analysis was to determine...

In this study, we examined the effects of Brucella infection on endothelial dysfunction. Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) measurement is indicator function, and abnormal values indicating dysfunction are accepted as first stage atherosclerosis.Twenty-four patients who had been treated for acute brucellosis two years before, no relapses in follow-up, were prospectively included along with 30 healthy individuals control group.While highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) value was 2.42 ±...

Background: Rotaviruses are the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis in newborns and young children. The current study intended to investigate presence rotavirus antigen fecal specimens children with acute diarrhea, determine its prevalence examine distribution pattern by age, gender season. Objectives: This was a retrospective investigation cases antigen-positive from under 5 years referring emergency department between January 2008 December 2010. Patient patterns season, month age...

Using whole-body multislice computed tomography (MSCT) excessively or with irrelevant indications can be seen in many centers. The aim of this study was to analyze retrospectively the MSCT findings trauma patients admitted emergency department.Records who have applied department due blunt a 12 month period and whose whole body images been taken, were evaluated using "Nucleus Medical Information System".The most frequent type traffic accidents 61.4%, falling down from height 22.4%, motorcycle...
