Preliminary evidence suggests that a higher neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) may be an indicator of active ulcerative colitis (UC). However, it is not clear whether the NLR useful and simple clinical activity in UC after adjusting for other inflammatory markers. We designed retrospective study to evaluate role estimating disease severity patients. The consisted 71 patients with 140 age- sex-matched healthy individuals (control group). NLR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein,...

The Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS) is the most frequently observed painful pathology of oral mucosa in society. It appears mostly idiopathic form; however, it may also be related with systemic diseases like Behçet's Disease (BD).Determining prevalence RAS and BD Northern Anatolian Region, which one important routes on Antique Silk Road.Cross-sectional study.Overall, 85 separate exemplification groups were formed to reflect population density, demographic data region they represent. In...

Thyroid hormones are essential for the normal development, differentiation, metabolic balance and physiological function of all tissues. Mean platelet volume (MPV) indicates mean size reflects production rate stimulation. Increased has been observed in association with known cardiovascular risk factors. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) platelet/lymphocyte (PLR) markers systemic inflammatory response. This study aimed to investigate effect thyroid hormone changes by comparing count, MPV...

Melatonin, the principal secretory product of pineal gland, functions as a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Additionally, antiapoptotic effect melatonin has been observed both in vivo vitro. The aim this experimental study was to investigate protective effects against carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 )–induced apoptosis oxidative stress rat liver. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided three equal groups. Group I used control. Rats group II injected every other day with CCl (0.5...

We aimed to determine the prevalence of psoriasis (PS) and seborrheic dermatitis (SD) (erythematous-squamous diseases) in our region reveal frequently encountered associated factors aid planning appropriate healthcare.A community-based study was conducted with 85 sample groups that reflected population rate demography Tokat Province northern Anatolia.In this community, PS people older than 20 years age 1.2% SD 5.2%. rates were higher patients who used tobacco especially alcohol. also treated...

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease which characterized by recurrent attacks of and peritonitis, pleuritis, arthritis, or erysipelas-like skin disease. Mean platelet volume (MPV) a sign activation. There are limited studies in the literature about MPV levels FMF patients. We aimed to investigate during attack period (group 1) attack-free periods 2) patients, compare them with healthy controls 3). The study consisted data of: 60 group 1 120 2 75 3...

IntroductionAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and increases risk of stroke death.Several atherosclerotic factors, such as obesity, diabetes hypertension, are associated with development AF. (1-3) Many studies have shown that individuals hypertension an increased developing atrial compared normotensive individuals.(4-6)Several inflammatory markers C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) , interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-8, monocyte chemo attractant

Turkey is one of the countries that has most cases CCHF in recent years among endemic countries. The disease also poses an important health threat with high mortality rate. aim study was to determine seroprevalence and risk factors adults aged ≥20 Tokat region, Turkey.In this population-based cross-sectional study, a total 85 Family Medicine Units (FMUs), from over 170 Tokat, were randomly selected using 50% sampling. sample size determined subjects who registered FMUs, due gender, age...

Insulin resistance (IR) is one of the most important etiological risk factors in development diabetes. However, there no clear data regarding prevalence IR country.This study evaluates and identifies optimal threshold values for HOMA indexes Turkey.This cross-sectional, population-based survey includes 2013 participants aged 20-84 years. The anthropometric measurements laboratory analysis were recorded. 90th percentile non-obese non-diabetic population was accepted as cut-off IR.The 2.46...

The aim of this study was to compare the periodontal status in patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and those without disease. Method Materials: 84 subjects clinically diagnosed FMF 75 systemically healthy controls, matched by age gender, were recruited. All on a regular daily colchicine treatment during attack-free periods. Gingival Index (GI), Plaque (PI), probing pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) measured all subjects. To evaluate disease further, stratifi ed...

The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the production of antibodies (aPL) that promote vascular thrombosis and pregnancy loss. APS can occur in absence underlying or associated (primary APS) combination with other diseases (secondary APS). Mean platelet volume (MPV) largely regarded as a useful surrogate marker activation. We aimed to investigate if there relationship between MPV thrombotic events APS. study consisted 22 patients healthy controls. Group...

Background: Recently, a growing number of publications have suggested that the immune-inflammatory system may be involved in etiology bipolar disorder (BD). Objective: The aim this study was to investigate neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte (PLR), and red cell distribution width (RDW) three different phases BD patients compared each other controls. Methods: One hundred eighty-seven (78 euthymic, 53 manic/hypomanic 56 depressed), 62 age sex matched controls were enrolled....

Introduction: A relationship between atrial conduction time and hypertension was shown in previous studies. Increased electromechanical intervals used to predict fibrillation by measured tissue Doppler imaging (TDI). So we aimed search if there any association the non-dipping status pre-hypertensive patients.Methods: Forty-one non-dipper 33 dipper subjects enrolled study. Systolic diastolic blood pressures were with a mercury sphygmomanometer. Twenty-four hours pressure cuff-oscillometric...

To evaluate cisterna chyli (CC) diameter with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients chronic kidney disease (CKD).The study included 71 CKD and 68 healthy controls. In both groups, the largest transverse of CC was measured axial heavily T2 -weighted images using a 1.5T MRI. The control group were compared, correlations between CKD, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), stage investigated. diameters compared between/among groups independent sample t-test or one-way analysis variance...
