Evaluation of potential long-term changes in endothelial functions and basic echocardiographic parameters in unilateral nephrectomy patients
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2017)Aim: Decreased nephron count may result in lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and cardiorenal injury in the absence of compensatory hyperfunction. In this study, we aimed to evaluate long-term effects of 50% nephron ... -
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction possibly caused by thromboembolism from left atrial appendage thrombus after incomplete surgical ligation
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2018)Coronary embolism (CE) is the underlying cause of 3% of acute coronary syndromes but is frequently overlooked in the differential diagnoses of acute coronary syndromes. The CE may be direct (left sided from the native or ... -
Multimodality imaging of a left ventricular aneurysm in a patient with normal coronary arteries: Unusual localization
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2017)Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is rare but potentially fatal complication of myocardial infarction. It has been strictly defined as a distinct area of abnormal left ventricular diastolic contour with systolic dyskinesia ... -
Intermittent malfunction and regurgitation of a mitral prosthetic valve due to entrapment by a residual subvalvular apparatus
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2018)Intermittent malfunction is a rare but potentially serious complication of prosthetic heart valve (PHV) replacement. It may be observed in both mitral and aortic valve prosthesis and may lead to either paroxysmal obstruction ... -
Missed unroofed coronary sinus
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2019)Coronary sinus atrial septal defect (ASD) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly, which might be difficult to diagnose. In this report, we describe a patient with small secundum ASDs and an associated large coronary sinus ... -
Evaluation of the potential predictors of embolism in patients with left atrial myxoma
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2019)Introduction: Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary intracardiac tumors. Although myxomas are histologically benign, they are potentially dangerous due to potential risk of systemic and cerebral embolism. In this ... -
Noninvasive diagnostic tools available for discrimination pannus from thrombus in patients with prosthetic valve dysfunction
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2019)We have recently read with great interest the article by Barroso Freitas‐Ferraz et al1 entitled “Prosthetic aortic valve thrombosis: To fibrinolyse or not to fibrinolyse? That is the question!”. The authors reported a case ... -
The effectiveness of postoperative early ostium cleaning in transcanalicular diode laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2014)Purpose: To search the effectiveness of postoperative first week ostium cleaning in transcanalicular diode laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (TDL-DCR). Materials and Methods: A total of 123 eyes of 123 patients with ... -
Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein as a potential biomarker of acute carbon monoxide poisoning
(2013)Background The aim of this study was to investigate the role of serum heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) in the evaluation of patients with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Methods Forty patients with acute CO ... -
Paraoxanase as an indicator of myocardial ischemia and its utility in determining extension of ischemia
(W.B. Saunders, 2016)Background The aim of this study was to investigate Paraoxanase 1 (PON-1) activity in patients with ST-elevated and non-ST-elevated acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to determine its correlation with Gensini scores ... -
Predicting tularemia with clinical, laboratory and demographical findings in the ED
(W.B. Saunders, 2016)Introduction We aimed to determine clinical, laboratory and demographical characteristics of tularemia on admission to Emergency Department (ED). Material and Methods Medical data of 317 patients admitted to ED and ... -
An unusual complication of Behcet disease: Spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax
(W.B. Saunders, 2016)Behcet disease is a multisystem vasculitis of unknown etiology, and pulmonary involvement is unusual. Concurrent bilateral pneumothorax is also seen rarely. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of ... -
Prognostic value of neglected biomarker in sepsis patients with the old and new criteria: predictive role of lactate dehydrogenase
(W.B. Saunders, 2016)Objectives This study examined the pH, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and heart rate values on the first day of hospitalization in patients with a prediagnosis of sepsis and biomarkers that may predict mortality. Methods ... -
Right-sided electrocardiogram usage in acute pulmonary embolism
(W.B. Saunders, 2016)Introduction Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of standard electrocardiogram (ECG) in acute pulmonary embolism (APE) are low. Presence of findings of concomitant right ventricular strain suggests that the use of ... -
Characteristics of refugee patients admitted to the emergency department
(W.B. Saunders, 2018)In 1991, thousands of Iraqi civilians passed the border to seek refuge in Turkey [1]. After the –so called– Arab Spring uprising, a civil war emerged in Syria in 2011. Millions of Syrians were internally displaced and ... -
Impact of prophylactic continuous positive airway pressure on transient tachypnea of the newborn and neonatal intensive care admission in newborns delivered by elective cesarean section
(Thieme Medical Publishers, Inc., 2015)Objective This study aims to evaluate the effect of the prophylactic continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) administration in the delivery room to newborns who were delivered by elective cesarean section (CS). Study ... -
Transventricular mitral valve repair in patients with acute forms of ischemic mitral regurgitation
(Texas Heart Institute, 2014)Transventricular mitral valve surgery combined with left ventricular restoration avoids atriotomy and provides a larger operative field. We describe a series of 5 patients in whom we performed transventricular mitral valve ... -
New cutting method to aid performance of graft-to-graft aortic anastomosis
(Texas Heart Institute, 2015)In graft-replacement surgery of the ascending aorta and aortic arch, 2 separate grafts are frequently needed in order to construct a more physiologically configured aorta. We describe a new cutting method for accurate ... -
Protective effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat ovary
(Universidad de la Frontera, 2017)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) as a prophylactic agent on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in the rat ovary. A total of 28 Wistar rats were divided into 4 equal ... -
