Abstract Purpose To improve prescribing in older adults, criterion sets have been introduced from different countries. While current are useful to some extent, they do not meet the need European Turkish inappropriate medication use elderly (TIME) criteria was planned this need. Methods In phase 1, user friendly sets: STOPP/START version2 and CRIME were combined. National experts composed of geriatricians non-geriatricians invited review comment. 2, thorough literature performed...

Methods A cohort 104 individuals, spanning 18 70 years age, underwent a meticulous categorization based on their unique medical profiles prescribed medication routines. Subsequently, comprehensive evaluation was...
Tuberculosis (TB) is an established occupational disease affecting health care workers (HCWs). Determining the risk of TB among HCWs important to enable authorites take preventative measures in facilities and protect HCWs. This study was designed assess incidence a teaching hospital Istanbul, Turkey. A retrospective records our from 1991 2000.The mean workforce 3359 + 33.2 between 2000. There were 31 cases (15 male) meeting diagnostic criteria for TB, comprising eight doctors, one nurse 22...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy PET imaging and compare it with performance CT in mediastinal hilar lymph node staging potentially operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Fifty-nine patients resectable NSCLC who underwent preoperative were enrolled into prospective study. All surgical evaluation by means mediastinoscopy sampling (14 patients) or thoracotomy (45 patients). Results: prevalence metastases 53%. Overall, sensitivity, specificity,...
Older adults have been continuously reported to be at higher risk for adverse outcomes of Covid-19. We aimed describe clinical characteristics and early the older Covid-19 patients hospitalized in our center comparatively with younger patients, also analyze triage factors that were related in-hospital mortality adults. Retrospective; observational study. Istanbul Faculty Medicine hospital, Turkey. 362 laboratory-confirmed from March 11 May 11, 2020. The demographic information; associated...
Tannery workers are exposed to many chemical and physical hazards. The current study involved 730 from 23 leather factories located in the Tuzla Organized Industry Region, Istanbul. Participants were interviewed underwent clinical examination. After basic examination, respiratory functions measured by spirometer questioned about asthma. Health problems included gastrointestinal complaints (7.30%), bronchitis (3.11%) asthma (3.0%). Signs of bronchial obstruction — wheeze rhonchus detected 71...
To evaluate the characteristics of patients who developed tuberculosis while receiving tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) antagonists and related factors with tuberculosis.Patient's demographics, tuberculin skin test (TST), isoniazid prophylaxis type TNF-α antagonist were recorded. TST conversion (≥5 mm increase) was evaluated for had baseline 1-year TST.Files 1887 between August 2005 June 2015 evaluated. significantly increased at end 1 year (n = 748 baseline:7.36 ± 7.2 vs. year:9.52 7.5...
In COVID-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome, the lungs are incapable of filling with sufficient air, leading to hypoxemia that results in high mortality among hospitalized patients. clinical trials, low-molecular-weight heparin was administered via a specially designed soft-mist inhaler device an investigator initiated, single-center, open-label, phase-IIb trial. Patients evidently worse presentations were classed as "Device Group"; 40 patients given soft mist at dose 4000 IU per...

A total of 431 workers from 14 leather factories located in the Tuzla Organized Industry Region, Istanbul were involved study. Subjects interviewed and examined individually with regard to asthma symptoms. Physical examinations undertaken respiratory function measured by spirometer. Moreover, atmosphere working areas was assessed microbiologically. The fungal genera most often detected Penicillium spp., followed Aspergillus Alternaria Scopulariopsis Cladosporium spp. multiplying at differing...
Treatment of anastomotic stenosis after tracheal resections is not well established. We aimed to share our experience with the management this condition.This a single-institution, retrospective study prospectively recorded files patients who suffered from resections. Data were analyzed according symptoms, location, length stenotic segments, and interventions.Anastomotic "restenosis" developed in 6 42 had at institute; referred us restenosis initial resection performed elsewhere.

BACKGROUND:Lung cancer and tuberculosis (TB) are two major public health problems. They can coexist or appear sequentially. In patients with TB, lung risk is increased. However, vice versa not crystal clear. this study, we aimed to determine the development of TB in resectabled non-small cell (NSCLC) a 2-year postoperative follow-up period. MATERIAL AND METHODS:We conducted retrospective cohort study at three university hospitals. Patients who had NSCLC surgery between 2009 2013 were...
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare disease of unknown etiology and characterized by the deposition calcium phosphate microliths within airspaces. We report 2 asymptomatic siblings, 7-year-old girl her 13-year-old brother, with PAM. In girl, chest X-ray computed tomography revealed diffuse interstitial changes but no uptake technetium 99m (<sup>99m</sup>Tc) on bone scan was noted in lung. Microliths stained pink Papanicolaou dye bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)...
We describe 2 unusual cases of tracheopathia osteochondroplastica (TPO), one them presenting with lung carcinoma and the other at an uncommon age. A 74-year-old man presented chronic bronchitis a left lower lobe lesion as detected on chest computed tomography. Flexible bronchoscopy revealed multiple calcified nodular lesions involving anterior-lateral walls trachea main bronchi. Histologic analysis tracheal nodules confirmed presence TPO. Squamous cell was diagnosed by transthoracic needle...

All 715 male employees were included without sampling. The completed with 619 subjects. Since it a small group, female not taken into account study. Metabolic investigated according NCEP-ATP III...
Diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) depends on nocturnal polysomnography (nPSG), but waiting time for the test is long. Although, performing PSG in patients with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) at (dPSG) was questioned, role and methods are not clear. The aim study to assess dPSG diagnosis SAS, correlation between nPSG dPSG.Forty eight subjects, who were referred our laboratory EDS included a cross-over study. Half underwent after dPSG, vice versa. Seven subjects excluded due lack...
It is now known that COVID-19 has long term effects may not correlate with clinical severity of disease. The pulmonary and cardiovascular changes as well thrombotic tendency could predispose to diving accidents. We aimed investigate related cause disqualification from among divers who recovered the disease.Occupational recreational applied for fitness dive (FTD) assessment after infection were included. Routine FTD assessments performed. Details history evaluated. Lung computed tomography...
