Abstract: It is estimated that there are over 5,000 species of mushrooms worldwide. Some them edible and some poisonous due to containing significant toxins. In more than 95% mushroom toxicity cases, poisoning occurs as a result misidentification the by an amateur hunter. The severity may vary, depending on geographic location where grown, growth conditions, amount toxin delivered, genetic characteristics mushroom. Amanita phalloides most common fatal cause poisoning. This contains...

Various scoring systems and cytokines have been cited as predicting disease severity in COVID-19 infection. This study analyzed the link between mortality rate, levels of cytokines, such Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Acute Physiologic Assessment Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), Sequential Organ Failure (SOFA), Charlson Comorbidity Index patients infected with COVID-19. Adult were followed up intensive care unit (ICU) prospectively. We measured serum cytokine (Interleukin-10 (IL-10),...

Antiphospholipid antibodies (APAs) increase the risk of excessive blood clotting, but their role in COVID-19 remains unclear. We aimed to investigate presence conventional APAs used classification antiphospholipid antibody syndrome patients with severe lung infection SARS-CoV-2 and compare these results non-COVID-19 critically ill patients. Thirty-one (COVID group) 28 (non-COVID group), were included study. Anti-cardiolipin (ACA) (IgG, IgM), anti-β2-glycoprotein 1 (Anti-β2GPI) IgM, IgA), if...

Lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer deaths, is divided into 2 main classes based on its biology, therapy and prognosis: non-small cell lung (NSCLC) small (SCLC). Many cases are at an advanced stage diagnosis, which a major obstacle to improving outcomes. It important define high risk group patients for early diagnosis chance cure. Blood antigens chemical components erythrocyte membranes but they also expressed variety epithelial cells. Links between ABO blood groups with benign or...

Colchicine, an old and well-known drug, is alkaloid extracted from Colchicum autumnale related species. Colchicine inhibits the deposition of uric acid crystals inhibitor mitosis. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, with a massive loss fluid electrolytes are first clinical symptoms colchicine poisoning. Stomach lavage rapid gastric decontamination activated charcoal crucial. An acute dose about 0.8 mg/kg presumed to be fatal. We report outcomes two different cases intoxication for...

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common condition that defined as glucose intolerance of varying degree with onset or first recognition during pregnancy and it affects approximately 5% all pregnancies over the world. GDM not only associated adverse outcomes such macrosomia, dystocia, birth trauma, metabolic complications in newborns, but also strong predictor transitioning to overt DM postpartum. The association ABO blood groups has been observed before several epidemiological...

Lithium is one of the drugs used widely in treatment mood disorders. However, it has a very narrow therapeutic index and side effects can be seen many organ systems, which affects kidneys. We see varying degrees renal damage associated with acute or chronic lithium use. intoxication diagnosed by rise serum concentration, but must remembered that levels clinical findings do not always overlap. Treatment varies according to findings. There are various ways treating intoxication, there no...

Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-related disorder characterized by hypertension (HT) and proteinuria noticeable after 20 weeks of gestation. PE now considered as cardiovascular disease risk factor number studies have shown that experiencing increases the prevalence various factors, such metabolic syndrome HT. In this study, we aimed to investigate any possible relationship between ABO/Rh blood group system in Turkey. second part examined ABO development HT PE. Patients methods:...

Bismuth is a chemical element symbolized as Bi and trivalent poor metal, which chemically resembles arsenic antimony. Colloidal bismuth subcitrate (CBS) subsalicylate are the salts widely used in treatment of peptic ulcers, functional dyspepsia, chronic gastritis. Intoxications with CBS rare. In few case reports, acute renal failure was described, but literature review revealed no related to intoxication. this report we present 21-year old female after one year follow-up

Kikuchi disease, also called Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease or Kikuchi's histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a rare, benign condition of unknown cause, usually characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy and fever. The diagnosis based on histopathology. Our patient was woman with bilateral lymphadenopathy, fever, chest abdominal pain, fatigue, maculopapular rash her face, trunk, upper lower extremities. Immunological rheumatological tests were negative. We took lymph node biopsy that showed...

Hepatitis B and C are the leading causes of liver diseases worldwide.

Biguanides can function as oral antihyperglycemic drugs. They were used for diabetes mellitus or prediabetes treatment over the last nine decades, but they lost their popularity in 1970s because of phenformin and regained with metformin. For metformin, most common side effects are diarrhea dyspepsia, occurring up to 30% patients. The important serious effect is lactic acidosis. Phenformin was removed from markets before 1970, it caused acidosis 40–65 patients 100,000 patient-years. Metformin...

Of the more than 5000 species of mushrooms known, 100 types are toxic and approximately 10% these can cause fatal toxicity. A type mushroom called Amanita phalloides is responsible for 95% poisonings. In this article, we report 2 cases poisonings caused by Lactarius volemus, known as Tirmit local people.
