Along with amazing technological advances, the industrial revolution of mid-19th century introduced new sources pollution. By mid-20th century, effects these changes were beginning to be felt around world. Among changes, health problems due environmental air pollution are increasingly recognized. At beginning, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases emphasized. However, accumulated data indicate that every organ system in body may involved, kidney is no exception. Although research on damage...
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) increasingly being implicated in morbidity and mortality, no study has attempted determine the role of MHR patients with OSAS. We aimed investigate association between CVD OSAS relationship severity OSAS, polysomnographic parameters, MHR. Methods: In this cohort study, who had undergone a full-night...
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is an independent risk factor for endothelial dysfunction and cardiometabolic diseases. Plasma endocan levels are elevated in a large number of diseases, novel surrogate cell marker. We aimed to assess the role serum level as potential mechanism OSA patients.This was cohort study which patients who had undergone diagnosis were recruited. Included grouped according apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) mild, moderate severe OSA. Patients with AHI < 5 served control...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in COVID-19 patients is associated with poor prognosis. However, the incidence, risk factors and potential outcomes of AKI hospitalized are not well studied. This a retrospective cohort study conducted two major university hospitals. Electronic health records patients, 18 years or older, between 13 April 1 June 2020 confirmed were reviewed. We described incidence for development patients. Furthermore, we investigated effects on length hospital intensive care unit...
The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is closely associated with cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence OSAS on plasma adiponectin levels independent obesity in our group. We also investigated association between adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), obesity, disease (CVD) OSAS.The patients were classified into controls or according apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): an AHI <5 constituted control group (n = 32) > =5 106)....
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is an infection often occurring in neutropenic patients and has high mortality rates. In recent years, it been reported that the incidence of IPA also increased with chronic obstructive disease (COPD). The purpose this study to investigate clinical demographic characteristics treatment responses COPD. Seventy-one a positive culture Aspergillus from lower respiratory tract samples were examined retrospectively. Eleven (15.4%) these patients, affected...
Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening is strongly recommended in the pre-transplant evaluation of solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, although it remains inadequate many centers. We decided to investigate TB risk assessment, LTBI treatment, and registry rates Turkey.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the plasma total homocysteine level in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and investigate effect different risk factors on levels. Ninety-three-patients VTE 37-control participants diagnosed other than were included study. Plasma levels affecting evaluated. was higher among compared controls independent from vitamin B12 folate prevalence hyperhomocysteinemia 63%. PE deep thrombosis (DVT; 23 ± 13.7 vs 16 5.8 μmol/L, P = .018). With regression...
<b>Background and Aim:</b> Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Recent studies showed endothelial dysfunction pentraxin-3 both of early marker development The aim the study was to evaluate relationship between severity OSAS inflammatory markers including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP).<br> <b>Methods:</b> This a cross-sectional in which patients who had undergone polysomnographic diagnosis were recruited. Included...
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is characterized by complaints of chronic musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and difficulty in falling asleep. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS) associated with symptoms, such as morning fatigueness unrefreshing sleep. We aimed to investigate the presence OSAS objectively demonstrate changes pattern patients FMS.Polysomnographic investigations were performed on 24 FMS. Patients divided into two groups: without (Group 1 Group 2, respectively). A total 40 FMS who presented...
A systemic inflammatory reaction is a common feature of both sarcoidosis and atherosclerosis. Endothelial-cell specific molecule 1 (endocan) marker vascular pathology which also shows correlation with inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, The objective this study was to evaluate the involvement in using serum endocan levels brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), dysfunction. We included 53 patients without conventional cardiovascular risk factors 40 healthy controls. Endothelial...
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and asbestosis-associated tumor. MPM commonly invades locally, mostly in the lung, heart, pericardium, chest wall, vertebrae. Distant metastasis of very rare. Here we report patient with who presented multiple unusual distant metastases. The patient's thorax tomography demonstrated right-sided, irregularly-thickened pleura nodular masses invasion wall into subcutaneous area. underwent biopsy for mass right anterior wall. Pathologic examination...
