Importance of the selected lower FIB-4 cutoff point
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2017)
I read with great interest the recent article titled ‘Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) and imaging for measuring fibrosis in hepatitis C virus’ by Turner et al. [1]. In their research, the authors aimed to compare the diagnostic performance ...
Significance of apelin-13 for inflammation and cardiac morphology in peritoneal dialysis patients
(Turkish Society of Nephrology, 2018)
OBJECTIVE: Apelin-13 is a biomarker that was shown to be related to cardiovascular disease risk in peritoneal dialysis patients. The aim of our study was to investigate the association of serum apelin-13 levels with ...
Serum ADMA, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis in hypervolemic hemodialysis patients
(TÜBİTAK, 2018)
Background/aim: Asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients under hemodialysis treatment. We aimed to investigate the relationship among volume status, ...
Relation of serum ADMA, Apelin-13 and LOX-1 levels with inflammatory and echocardiographic parameters in hemodialysis patients
(Wiley, 2018)
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease. Nitric oxide has a critical role in both endothelial dysfunction and the atherosclerosis process. We aimed to investigate ...
Letter: changes in FIB-4 cut-off points for viral hepatitis
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2017)
SIRS, I read with great interest the recently published article by Koh et al.,1 who proposed to improve the diagnostic accuracy of FIB-4 for advanced fibrosis in patients with chronic delta hepatitis by reducing the cut-off ...
Relation of serum spondin-2 levels with cardiac morphology and inflammatory parameters in hemodialysis patients
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)
Purpose: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of mortality in chronic kidney disease. Spondin-2 (SP-2), an intrinsic cardio-protective factor, prevents maladaptive remodeling. We aimed to determine the relation ...
The effects of oral steroid therapy on prolidase enzyme activity in patients with nasal polyps
(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2021)
Objective: To compare prolidase enzyme activity (PEA) in serum and polyp specimens of patients with nasal polyps obtained before and after the oral steroid therapy. Materials and methods: Thirty three patients with nasal ...
Re-determining the cut-off points of FIB-4 for patients monoinfected with chronic hepatitis B virus infection
(Turkish Biochemistry Society, 2017)
Objective: This study aimed to determine significant liver fibrosis and cirrhosis with different FIB-4 cut-off points, and the need for liver biopsy (LB) by optimizing the initially established cut-off points of 1.45 and ...
A Controlled Study to Examine the Effect of Topical Sucralfate on Radiofrequency-induced Burn Wounds in Rats
(HMP Global, 2020)
Several preclinical studies have shown topical sucralfate facilitates wound repair. PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 10% topical sucralfate on healing radiofrequency-induced burn wounds in rats. METHODS: ...
Hitit Index to distinguish patients with and without Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2019)
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is fatal. Therefore, it is very important to use an inexpensive, easily accessible, quick and accurate screening index based on clinical signs and laboratory parameters to identify ...
