We aimed to investigate the importance of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for identifying severity inflammation and recognition acute exacerbation.We retrospectively enrolled 100 a diagnosis COPD exacerbation who were admitted our clinic. Complete blood count (CBC), measurement C reactive protein (CRP) erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) determined within 2 h hospital admission. Three months after an exacerbation, these...
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare but highly lethal form of cancer that affects the serosal membranes.Malignant peritoneal (MPM) second most common malignant (pleural common).The aim this study was to evaluate prognostic factors influencing survival patients with MPM.A retrospective analysis performed on 35 who were admitted our hospital between March 2005 and July 2013.The patients' demographic clinical data, laboratory results, radiological signs, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)...
BACKGROUND:Respiratory system disorders are one of the most prevalent complications in end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis. However, pathogenesis impaired pulmonary functions has not been completely elucidated these patients. We designed a study to investigate acute effects hemodialysis treatment spirometry parameters, focusing relationship between function and fluid status MATERIAL AND METHODS:We enrolled 54 this study.

Thrombocytopenia is associated with increased mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Mean platelet volume (MPV) reflects function and activation. Elevated MPV poor outcomes rate diseases that are commonly encountered the respiratory ICU.We retrospectively enrolled 95 patients who died ICU (dead group), 80 improved were transferred from (survived healthy individuals as controls. Laboratory parameters including erythrocyte sedimentation (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin,...
Swyer-James-Macleod syndrome (SJMS) is a rare constrictive bronchiolitis with air-flow obstruction and decreased number diameter of ipsilateral peripheral pulmonary vessels. This characterized by unilateral hyperlucency on chest radiography. Computed tomography provides useful additional information. The diagnosis usually made in childhood but sometimes occurs adulthood. disease often presents dyspnea, exercise tolerance, cough, hemoptysis, recurrent infections. SJMS may be confused asthma...
New tumour biomarkers are being intensely investigated for malignant mesothelioma (MM). Fibulin-3 is produced in MM but its role remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity measuring serum fibulin-3 diagnosis and prognosis MM.This prospective performed on 43 patients 40 healthy controls who were admitted our hospital between January 2012 2014. Data from patients, including demographic clinical features, routine laboratory data, levels fibulin-3, treatment outcomes...
BACKGROUND:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is common disease among hemodialysis (HD) patients and associated with increased morbidity mortality. However, its pathogenesis has not been completely elucidated. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of PAH in HD patients, as well relationship between fluid status PAH. MATERIAL AND METHODS:We enrolled 77 this study. Multifrequency bioimpedance analysis (BIA) was used assess status. BIA performed before 30 min after midweek HD. Overhydration...
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a new, minimally invasive, bronchoscopic technique used in the evaluation of inthrathoracic lymph nodes.Use sedation drugs before procedure differs among centres. There no standardization about EBUS-TBNA.We policy decision to shift from use propofol with midazolam vs alone large tertiary hospital evaluate diagnostic yield and safety EBUS-TBNA procedure.Files all patients who were performed between dates September...
Pulmonary tuberculosis (PT) has been previously related with various psychosocial adverse consequences including stigmatization and social isolation. Social anxiety is a psychiatric condition that may be associated isolation fear of exclusion. To date no study investigated its impact on quality life (QoL) among patients PT. Therefore, we aimed to determine the severity in group Among who were recently discharged from hospital diagnosis PT 94 99 healthy control subjects had similar...
Lung diseases caused by biomass exposure cause a significant health hazard particularly amongst women. The present study was designed to investigate in women suffering from lung disease.A total of 100 [mean (SD) age: 55.13 (17.65) years] hospitalized for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis or interstitial were included this conducted between September 2008-March 2009 three chest clinics at Sureyyapasa Chest Diseases and Surgery Training Research...
Objective The goal of this study is to assess medical school students' smoking rates, levels addiction, factors influencing tobacco smoking, and attitudes toward information bans.Methods For study, a survey was conducted with 709 students studying at faculty in the years 2021–2022. In survey, questions including demographic information, Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), on bans were asked.Results rate 34.7% males, 14.1% females, 24% overall. mean age onset 17.3 ± 2.3, FTND 3.1...
To determine the factors affecting smoking habits of high school students, their thoughts about changes resulting from anti-smoking laws, and how they are affected by those laws.In this cross-sectional study, 11th-grade students at eight schools in Ankara, Turkey, were invited to complete a questionnaire.A total 1,199 completed questionnaire satisfactorily.
