Background/Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pulmonary arterial computed tomography obstruction index ratio (CTOI) and simplified embolism severity (sPESI), one of clinical probability scoring modalities, in determining PE determine whether CTOI is a mortality marker. Methods: The included 117 patients diagnosed with by Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA). was determined according localization embolus caused vessel. Patients were divided into...
Background:This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of serum prolidase ac-tivity in silicosis and examine its relationship with oxidative stress inflammatory param-eters. Methods: One hundred thirteen patients silicosis, 70 workers a history exposure who did not develop disease 53 healthy volunteers similar age gender were included study. Serum levels prolidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, glutathione peroxidase, reductase, tumor necrosis...

Methods: The included 117 patients diagnosed with via angiography (CTPA). was determined according localization embolus caused by vessel. Patients were divided into two groups, namely low-risk...
Abstract Objectives The onset and advancement of silicosis are intricately linked to immune system activation oxidative stress. We aimed examine whether occupational silica exposure induces alterations in neopterin levels, the system, or oxidant/antioxidant system. Methods Fifty-two healthy individuals, 47 workers with who did not develop disease, 71 patients were included study, totaling 170 participants. Neopterin was measured serum urine. Chromatographic analysis level performed Thermo...
Background: The clinical spectrum of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is broad; it can range from asymptomatic cases to mild upper tract illness, failure, and multiorgan failure resulting in death. Therefore, important identify the course disease factors associated with mortality. Objective: aim this study risk severity disease, intensive care unit admission, mortality COVID-19 patients. Methods: A total 1075 patients radiological findings compatible...
To explore the rate of pneumoconiosis in dental technicians (DTP) and to evaluate risk factors.Data 893 technicians, who were admitted our hospital period January 2007-May 2012, from 170 laboratories retrospectively examined. Demographic data, respiratory symptoms, smoking status, work duration, working fields, exposure sandblasting, physical examination findings, chest radiographs, pulmonary function tests high-resolution computed tomography results evaluated.Dental technicians' was 10.1%...
AIMS: The aim of this study was to explain the demographic data, comorbidity and laboratory fi ndings our rst cases in COVID-19 pneumonia country.METHODS: We gathered data participants from electronic medical system, including daily knowledge laboratory, radiological, microbiological results between March 10 April 7, 2020.RESULTS: Totally, 125 patients, whose were compatible with COVID-19, included study, 42 patients excluded study.The distribution genders was, 39 females (46.9 %), 44 males...
Purpose: Anemia is reported to be an independent predictor of hospitalizations and survival in COPD. However, little known its impact on short-term during severe COPD exacerbations. The primary objective this study was determine whether the presence anemia increases risk death acute respiratory failure due Patients methods: Consecutive patients with exacerbation who were admitted intensive care unit diagnosis required either invasive or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) analyzed. Results: A...
Introduction. We sought to identify possible risk factors associated with mortality in patients high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) after intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Patients and Methods. PE patients, diagnosed computer tomography angiography, were included from two ICUs categorized into groups: group 1 2 intermediate/low-risk patients. Results. Fifty-six included. Of them, 41 (73.2%) 15 (26.7%) 2. When compared 2, need for vasopressor therapy (0 vs 68.3%; p < 0.001) invasive...
The number of studies where non-malignant pulmonary diseases are evaluated after occupational arsenic exposure is very few.To investigate the effects on lung by high-resolution computed tomography and function tests.Retrospective cross-sectional study.In this study, 256 workers with suspected respiratory were included, an average age 32.9±7.8 years 3.5±2.7 working years. Hair urinary levels analysed. High-resolution tests done.In exposure, showed 18.8% involvement. In involvement, nodule was...
In the present study, we want to demonstrate correlation between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) whose independent effect on carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) was demonstrated, with Framingham risk score (FRS) showing overall cardiovascular risk.IMT of measured ultrasonography and 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) defined FRS in 90 consecutive patients referred our clinic who underwent polysomnography (PSG), vascular factors without a clinical atherosclerotic disease.IMT...

With this study, we aimed at evaluating demographic data, clinical, laboratory findings in pulmonary embolism (PE) and the relationship of these with location region responses patients to treatment order contribute patient management decreasing mortality.Clinical findings, accompanying diseases, risk factors, serum D-dimer creatinine levels, imaging modalities mortality rates 205 (female: 98, male: 107) diagnosed PE were examined retrospectively. The between qualifier variables was evaluated...
Background/aim: To investigate the changes in spleen size, parenchymal heterogeneity, and computed tomography (CT) texture analysis features of patients diagnosed with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Materials methods: The size structure 91 who underwent thoracic CT examination due to COVID-19 were evaluated. For evaluation was performed using dedicated software (Olea Medical, France). each case consisted 15 first-order intensity-based features, 17 gray level cooccurrence matrix-based 9...
In dental technicians, parenchymal changes caused by dust affect pulmonary functions. The evaluation of the relation between radiological scores (chest X-Ray/HRCT) indicating extent involvement and severity functional findings in technicians.440 technicians were evaluated with chest X-Ray, function tests (PFTs) high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). degree images was categorized based upon emphysema, profusion opacities, ground-glass opacity, honey combing pleural abnormalities.Mean age...
Evaluation of nephrotoxicity and prognosis in patients treated with colistin due to hospital-acquired pneumoniaIntroduction: Colistimethate sodium (CMS) is frequently used the treatment nosocomial multidrug-resistant gram-negative infections.Nephrotoxicity most important side effect.The aim this study evaluate effect on assess CMS pneumonia (HAP).
This study aimed to compare high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings with those of chest X-ray (CXR) and evaluate the relationship pulmonary function test (PFT) parameters HRCT CXR in cases dental technician's pneumoconiosis.CXR, PFT, data 89 technicians who were diagnosed pneumoconiosis retrospectively evaluated.The 24 (27%) classified as normal (Category 0) based on evaluated Category 1 according HRCT. There was an inverse correlation PFT nodular profusion score all parameters....
To define approach of pulmonologists in Turkey to noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) use for chronic respiratory failure (CRF), the most currently applied technique home ventilation.A 38-question survey, developed and tested by authors, was distributed throughout 2205 e-mail.Twenty-seven percent responded (n=596). Domiciliary NIV reported be prescribed 340 physicians [57.1% all responders 81% practicing at clinical practice (n= 420)]. prescription associated with physician's title,...
