We hypothesized that contrast media volume–estimated glomerular filtration rate (CV–e-GFR) ratio may be a predictor of media-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). investigated the associations between CV–e-GFR and CI-AKI in 597 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). An absolute ≥0.3 mg/dL increase serum creatinine compared with baseline levels within 48 hours after procedure was considered as CI-AKI; 78 (13.1%) experienced CI-AKI. The amount during higher...

Evidence suggests that low 25-OH vitamin D 25(OH)D concentrations may increase the risk of several cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity, myocardial infarction, heart failure and mortality. Recent studies suggested a possible relationship between deficiency increased carotid intima-media wall thickness calcification. We hypothesized be associated with coronary atherosclerosis plaque burden composition, investigated serum levels...

Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a common disease which associated with high mortality and morbidity. Circulating level of copeptin, was demonstrated to be elevated in heart failure, acute myocardial infarction arterial hypertension, were reported independent predictors poor outcome recent studies. The aim the present study investigate clinical utility copeptin diagnosis APE.A total 90 consecutive patients, admitted emergency service due chest pain and/or dyspnea who underwent computerized...

Falls are the second most common cause of injury-associated mortality worldwide. This study aimed to analysis injuries caused by falls from walnut tree and assess their morbidity risk.This is a retrospective hospital-based patients presenting emergency department (ED) Ahi Evran Univercity between September October 2012. For each casualty, we computed ISS (defined as sum squares highest Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) score in three severely injured body regions). Severe injury was defined ≥...

Although it has declined in developed countries, mitral valve stenosis is problematic developing countries; its main cause rheumatic fever. In patients with (RMS), ongoing chronic inflammation may resultin the progression of valvular damage and formation spontaneous echocardiographic contrast (SEC).We investigated role neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as an indicator independentpredictive risk factor for SEC RMS patients.A total 112 (mean age 46 ± 10.6; 73.2% female) who underwent both...

Abstract Background: The main objective was to evaluate and compare the local genotoxicity of sevoflurane desflurane in bronchoalveolar cells, while secondary outcome detect systemic oxidative DNA damage. To our knowledge, study is first one effects inhalation anesthetics human cells patients. Methods: American Society Anesthesiologists group I-II patients scheduled for lumbar discectomy surgery were enrolled this randomized prospective study. Patients or anesthesia maintenance....

Abstract Aim Scalp lacerations are commonly encountered in patients presenting to emergency department with trauma. Lacerations repaired suturing, stapling, adhesive tapes, and tissue adhesives. In this study, we aimed compare the effectiveness of hair apposition techniques used repair scalp who presented laceration. Materials method After obtaining approval local ethics committee, examined effects three technique on wound healing, complication rate, patient satisfaction by recording data....

AbstractBackground Poor right ventricular function is an independent prognostic marker for mortality in heart failure patients. Echocardiographic studies concerning effects of levosimendan on performed second measurements just after or 24 hours infusion. We aimed to detect sustained infusion systolic function.Method The study consisted 47 patients with acutely decompensated NYHA class III IV symptoms. Levosimendan was infused hours. Before and 5 days the initiation infusions, functional...

Background: An acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a serious cardiovascular condition with high risk of morbidity and mortality. Irisin adipomyokine that associated various health conditions. In post-STEMI, elevated serum irisin levels are more adverse events. Objective: The purpose this study was to investigate associations between the MI (AMI) whether may be useful biomarker for severity AMI in patients STEMI. Possible correlations cardiac troponin-I (cTi) were...

Objective The total burden of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis is significant in young adults. Serum lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) an established predictor morbidity and mortality because cardiovascular disease. aim the present investigation was to evaluate relationship between serum Lp-PLA2 concentrations a population Patients methods A 261 individuals younger than 45 years age who had undergone computed tomography angiography were evaluated. study group included 101...

Pediatric head traumas constitute the majority of admissions to emergency departments (ED) due trauma. This study aims draw attention use cranial computerized tomography (CT) scans in evaluation children with trauma under age 18, and determine CT scans' usefulness terms cost-effectiveness.Age, gender, mechanism Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), diagnosis, time admission hospital, hospitalization operation, costs all cases were retrospectively analyzed.A total 26,412 patients younger than 18 years...

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is characterized by inappropriate dilatation of the coronary vasculature. The mechanisms CAE are not well known. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) may make endothelial cells and smooth muscle more sensitive to effects hormone. In present study, we hypothesized that IGF-1 have an impact on formation aneurysm in arterial system, aimed investigate associations between presence serum levels patients undergoing angiography. study included 2.980 subjects elective...

Results:We analyzed 74 diagnosed with poisoning.The most...

Abstract A 37 year‐old female patient in whom the transthoracic echocardiography examination revealed dilatation of left heart chambers with ventricular ejection fraction 30% and moderate‐to‐severe mitral valve regurgitation was admitted to our hospital. On 2 DTEE examination, normal; however, on 3D images, clefts both anterior posterior leaflets were revealed. Isolated cleft without any other feature atrioventricular septal defect is uncommon. 2D has limited capability defining complex...

Objective: In this study, we aimed to define effects of the endemic infective processes on hand-washing habits emergency department staff in contact with patients.
