Öğe Evaluation of right ventricular function in patients with thyroid dysfunction(Karger, 2006) Arınç, Hüseyin; Gündüz, Hüseyin; Tamer, Ali; Seyfeli, Ergün; Kanat, Mustafa; Özhan, Hakan; Uyan, CihangirBackground: Thyroid gland dysfunction affects the structure and function of the heart. Tissue Doppler echocardiography is a new technique, and it has been used frequently in the evaluation of ventricular function. In the present study, right ventricular function was assessed in patients with overt or subclinical hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism and in healthy subjects using the tissue Doppler method, and results were compared. Patients and Methods: 20 healthy subjects and 63 patients diagnosed with overt and subclinical hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were included in the study. Annular and myocardial systolic peak velocities, early and late diastolic peak velocities, precontraction, total contraction and relaxation times of the right ventricle were recorded by tissue Doppler echocardiography. The results of the patients were compared to those of the controls. Results: Myocardial systolic velocity was significantly higher in patients with hyperthyroidism. Annular and myocardial late diastolic velocities were found to be significantly lower in patients with overt hypothyroidism. Annular precontraction time was increased in patients with overt and subclinical hypothyroidism. Myocardial precontraction time was decreased in patients with hyperthyroidism, and increased in patients with overt hypothyroidism patients. Annular relaxation time was increased in patients with overt hypothyroidism. Conclusions: Right ventricular function is affected in patients with thyroid diseases. The tissue Doppler technique is a suitable tool to detect impairments in right ventricular function. There is a significant correlation between serum thyroid hormone levels and right ventricular velocities and time intervals. Copyright (c) 2006 S.

It is commonly characterized by altered mental status, disturbance of consciousness and cognition, as well as disruptions in the sleep-wake cycle. Although delirium is a relatively complicated condition due to the variability of aetiological risk factors, clinical manifestations, and progress; it is generally reversible. An accurate identification of underlying causes and risk factors is therefore essential for early-stage diagnosis and positive treatment outcomes in delirium cases. Paediatric delirium can be due to various aetiologies and its clinical signs can differ from those of adults. Because of the increased prevalence of missed cases of delirium in paediatric population and relative scarcity of the publications based on Turkish cases, this case presentation can be deemed important. We present a 16-year-old boy diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma who has recurrent hyperactive delirium symptoms such as disorientation, irritability, psychomotor agitation, and visual hallucinations during his chemotherapy sessions and respond to low-dose risperidone treatment.Öğe High-intent suicide and the Beck's Suicide Intent scale: a case report(In House Publications, 2013) Erkol, Zerrin; Cantürk, Nergis; Oğuz, H.; İnce, Haluk; Büken, Bora; Görücü, G.…Öğe High rate of hepatitis B virus DNA positivity in anti-HBc only-positive patients(Ankara Microbiology Soc, 2008) Yıldırım, Mustafa; Yavuz, M. Tevfik; Özdemir, Davut; Behçet, Mustafa; Şencan, İrfanIn hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections, detection of only anti-HBc in the absence of HBsAg and anti-HBs is known as 'anti-HBc only' situation. In this study we investigated the rate of HBV-DNA positivity in anti-HBc only-positive 45 patients (29 male, 16 female; mean age: 39.2 +/- 12.3 years) who were followed in the outpatient clinics of a University Hospital in Duzce (located at northern west part of Turkey). HBV markers were investigated by 3rd generation ELISA (MEIA Axsym-Abbott), and HBV-DNA were searched by real-time PCR [extraction: Minielute (Qiagen, Germany); PCR kits: Florion HBV (Iontek, Turkey); detection: i-cycler IQ5 (BioRad, USA)] methods. As a result, 24.4% (11/45) of the patients were found HBV-DNA Positive (> 10(3) copies/ml). There was no statistically significant difference of HBV-DNA positivity rates between males (9/29; 31%) and females (2116; 12.5%), (p = 0.15). It was concluded that there may be a serious risk of HBV transmission from anti-HBc only-positive patients since the rate of HBV-DNA positivity was found high in our study. Thus HBV-DNA screening should be performed in 'anti-HBc only' patient groups.Öğe Hiatal hernia presenting like a large left atrial mass(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2017) Keskin, Muhammed; Hayıroğlu, Mert İlker; Keskin, Taha; Kaya, Adnan; Kozan, Ömer…Öğe Hemodialysis-related headache(Wiley, 2014) Sav, Murat Yusuf; Sav, Tansu; Şenocak, Elif; Sav, Nadide MelikeHeadache is one of the most frequently encountered neurological symptoms during hemodialysis. According to International Classification of Headache criteria dialysis-related headache was defined as the headache occurring during hemodialysis with no specific characteristic. It resolves spontaneously within 72 hours after the hemodialysis session ends. There are few studies in the literature investigating the clinical features of dialysis headache. The pathophysiology of hemodialysis-related headache is not known, but various triggering factors have been identified, including changes in blood pressure, serum sodium and magnesium levels during hemodialysis sessions, caffeine deprivation and stress. The aim of this article is to evaluate and analyze features of headache in patients undergoing hemodialysis.Öğe Herbal self-medication use in Type 2 diabetes mellitus(Tubitak Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2016) Aydın, Yusuf; Önder, Elif…Öğe Fusion defect in anterior arch of the atlas mimicking a fracture in a trauma patient(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Büyükkaya, Ayla; Güneş, Harun; Oktay, Nilay; Özel, Mehmet Ali; Erdoğmuş, Beşir…Öğe First case of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis peritonitis due to Candida sake(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009) Güçlü, Ertuğrul; Soypaçacı, Zeki; Yıldırım, Mustafa; Küçükbayrak, Abdülkadir; Özdemir, DavutFungal peritonitis is a relatively uncommon complication of peritoneal dialysis that contributes significantly to morbidity, drop out from the continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) program, and mortality. Candida sake infections were rarely published in literature. We present the first case of peritonitis due to C. sake. A 41-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, weakness. Abdominal ultrasonography demonstrated a fistula tract, which has an opening at inferolateral of the umbilicus extending 5 cm from the skin into the abdominal cavity with a foreign body (11 x 10 mm length) inside the fistula. The foreign body was removed by surgery being apparently a part of a previously inserted peritoneal catheter. Postoperative specimens revealed polymorph leucocytes and yeast cells in Gram stain, and culture on Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) yielded a growth of a fungus, subsequently identified as C. sake with Api ID 32C. Fluconazole (200 mg/day) therapy was started. He recovered after two weeks of therapy. In conclusion, C. sake, a rare type of Candida species, should be considered as a probable peritoneal pathogen in patients with multiple episodes of bacterial peritonitis, previous broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and diabetes mellitus.Öğe Efficacy of spironolactone therapy in patients with heart failure with normal ejection fraction(B M J Publishing Group, 2010) Özhan, Hakan; Balaban, Yakup…Öğe Effect of pulse corticosteroids and low dose methotrexate in cases of treatment-resistant lichen sclerosus(Elsevier Taiwan, 2018) Karadağ, Ayşe Serap; Akdeniz, Necmettin; Özlü, Emin; Süslü, Hülya; Uzunçakmak, Tuğba Kevser; Bozdağ, Halenur; Kavala, Mukaddes…Öğe Echocardiographic approach of left ventricular dysfunctions in essential hypertension(Saudi Med J, 2007) Aliağaoğlu, Cihangir; Atasoy, Mustafa; Güleç, Ali İhsan; Özdemir, Şevki; Erdem, Teoman; Karakuzu, Ali; Engin, Ragıp İsmail…Öğe Discovering an overlooked fact in atrial fibrillation: Iron deficiency(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2018) Kaya, Adnan; Kayapınar, Osman…Öğe Decreasing risk of Staphylococcus aureus infections(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2007) Karabay, Oğuz; Yıldırım, Mustafa; Özdemir, Davut…Öğe Darier disease with asymmetrical involvement of the leg(Wiley, 2011) Gürlevik, Zehra; Aliagaoğlu, Cihangir; Albayrak, Hülya; Yanık, Mehmet Emin; Güvenç, Serdar Cenk…Öğe CT versus grayscale rib series for the detection of rib fracture(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2015) Güneş, Harun; Ünlü, Elif Nisa; Sarıtaş, Ayhan…
