    (Blackwell Publishing, 2015) Demirci, Hakan; Kekilli, Murat; Polat, Zülfikar; Kantarcıoğlu, Murat; Uygun, Ahmet; Bağcı, Sait
    Dear Editor, Dysphagia is common in the general population, and is mostly a result of mechanical obstruction and motility disorders.1 Dysphagia is an increasing health concern in older individuals. Dysphagia risk increases with progressing age. Adults aged older than 65 years show an increased prevalence of complications, such as malnutrition and aspiration pneumonia. The prevalence of swallowing disorders, or dysphagia, in older individuals ranges from 7% to 22%, and dramatically increases to 40–50% in older individuals who reside in long-term care facilities.

    Reply to: Renal impairment during the treatment of telaprevir with peginterferon and ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis C
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014) Sakin, Yusuf Serdar; Polat, Zülfikar; Demirci, Hakan; Kekilli, Murat; Uygun, Ahmet; Bağcı, Sait
    Dear Editor, We read with great interest the recently published article by Fukuda et al. 1 The authors indicate that there is significant correlation between serum telaprevir (TVR) level and bodyweight and suggest that adjustment of TVR dose according to bodyweight would avoid renal impairment during treatment. Herein, we want to present a case in which renal impairment completely reversed after discontinuation of TVR, and ribavirin dose reduction seemed to be important in improving renal impairment until therapy.
