We aimed to examine independent predictive factors for the severity and survival of COVID-19 disease, from routine blood parameters, especially urea nitrogen (BUN)/creatinine (Cr) ratio. A total 139 patients with were investigated at Siirt State Hospital. According disease severity, categorized as three groups (moderate: 85, severe: 54, critical: 20). Then, divided into two groups: nonsevere (moderate) severe (severe critical). Demographic, clinical data, parameters analyzed. In multivariate...

Background The management of adrenal incidentaloma is still a challenge with respect to determining its functionality (hormone secretion) and malignancy. In this light, we performed 18 F-FDG PET/CT scan assess the SUV max values in different masses including Cushing syndrome, pheochromocytoma, primary hyperaldosteronism non-functional adenomas. Methods Total 109 (73 F, 36 M) patients mass (incidentaloma), mean age 53.3 ± 10.2 years (range, 24–70) were screened by PET/CT. Data imaging...

Previous studies have demonstrated that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) anti-inflammatory effects. One specific PUFA, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), shows both and antioxidant properties. In the testes, inflammatory mediators are known to increase when orchitis is induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This study aimed determine whether properties of ALA could a protective effect against LPS-induced in mice. The mice were divided into untreated control, ALA-treated groups. Orchitis...

The emission of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) from mobile phones has been implicated in causing inflammatory changes the testis. Nevertheless, direct association these with development testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) remains unclear. Therefore, we purposed to investigate effect RF-EMR exposure on testis, cytokine gene expression levels, and incidence TGCT.

Introduction Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a pervasive neurodevelopmental that impacts communication, behavior, and social interaction. It well-documented parents of children with ASD often experience psychiatric conditions like anxiety depression. Nevertheless, research on the perception internalized stigma, family functioning, their interconnections scarce. The main objective our study was to analyze stigma perceptions, depression, anxiety, functioning among or caregivers diagnosed...

We aimed to investigate relationship between RAGE clinicopathological features prostate neoplasia. Methods Tissue samples 197 patients, 64 (24 40 controls) benign hyperplasia (BPH) 133 (71 62 localised or metastatic cancer (LPCa/MetPCa) were included study. specimens was studied...

Background: Varicocele is the most common correctable cause of male infertility. The treatment varicocele surgery. However, which patients will benefit from surgery controversial. Our aims to investigate effect systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and inflammatory response (SIRI) on varicocelectomy success. Methods: Patients who underwent in our clinic between January 2016 June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Varicocelectomy success was defined as >50% increase post-operative...

Objective: We evaluated the influence of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Materials and Methods: Between September 2007 April 2019, 280 a preoperative eGFR level <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 who underwent PCNL were retrospectively examined. The primary endpoint this study was effect levels 1st 12th month after surgery CKD according to stages. secondary identification potential risk factors for deteriorated...

We examined the effects of preoperative hormonal values on varicocelectomy success. A total 136 patients who underwent for infertility in our clinic were analysed retrospectively. Improvement semen quality was defined as >50% increase post-operative motile sperm count (TMSC) those with TMSC >5 million and at least 100% <5 million. The divided into two groups benefiting from treatment (Group A) no benefits B). best cut-off value follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) luteinising...

We aimed to examine the effects of pre-operative blood values on varicocelectomy success.A total 130 patients who underwent in our clinic were retrospectively analyzed. Operation success was defined as return all semen parameters (concentration, progressive motility, and morphology) normal 6 months after surgery. The separated two groups benefiting from treatment (Group A) not B).The best cut-off value for neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which can predict success, assigned be 2.27, with...

Background and Objectives: Alpha-linolenic acid which is one of polyunsaturated fatty acids very important for the continuity human life.Alpha-linolenic a protective food heart cardiovascular system.In addition, this substance powerful anti-inflammatory agent.Increases in inflammatory agents are accompanied cystitis induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Therefore, study aimed to determine whether alpha-linolenic acid, has properties, effect against LPS-induced cystitis.Materials Methods:...

To determine the importance of urinary biochemical parameters on severity coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19).One hundred and thirty-three patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 retrospectively included. Groups formed according to their disease (moderate [n = 85], severe 29] critical 19]), an additional control group was created from healthy individuals (n 50). We investigated correlation between urine disease.Erythrocyturia, proteinuria glucosuria rates significantly higher in than...
