Association between HbA1c levels with severity of coronary artery disease and short-term outcomes of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction in nondiabetic patients
(2015)
Background: The severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is directly related to the quality of glucose control in diabetic patients. Additionally, mortality after an acute coronary syndrome is higher in patients with ...
Correspondence between hospital admission and the pneumonia severity index (PSI), CURB-65 criteria and comparison of their predictive value in mortality and hospital stay [Correlazione tra ricovero in ospedale per polmonite, criteri PSI e CURB-65 e confronto tra il loro valore predittivo della mortalitأ e durata della degenza]
(2013)
Pneumonia severity assessment systems, such as the pneumonia severity index (PSI) and CURB-65, were designed to guide physicians to admit the patients involved to appropriate wards of hospitals. This study evaluated ...
Doppler study of cerebral arteries in hypercholesterolemia
(2011)
Background: Hypercholesterolemia is one of the major modifiable risk factors for atherosclerosis of the coronary and carotid arteries. Although transcranial Doppler (TCD) studies of the cerebral arteries are indicative of ...
Does preservation of active range of motion after acute elbow injury rule out the need for radiography? [Akut dirsek travmasi{dotless}ndan sonra aktif eklem hareket açi{dotless}kli{dotless}?i{dotless}ni{dotless}n korunmasi{dotless} radyografi gereklili?ini ortadan kaldi{dotless}ri{dotless}r mi{dotless}?]
(2012)
Background We aimed to evaluate the role of a normal elbow active range of motion (ROM) in predicting low fracture risk and avoiding elbow X-ray in patients with acute elbow injuries. Lack of any approved rules for this ...
Diagnostic relevance of overexpressed serine threonine tyrosine kinase/novel oncogene with kinase domain (STYK1/ NOK) mRNA in colorectal cancer
(2014)
Background: Alterations in gene expression levels or mutations of tyrosine kinases are detected in some human cancers. In this study, we examined whether serine threonine tyrosine kinase 1 (STYK1)/novel oncogene with kinase ...
Efficacy of metoclopramide and dexamethasone for postoperative nausea and vomiting: A double-blind clinical trial

(2016)
Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the elderly is an entity introduced in the latest WHO classification of lymphoid tumors and defined in patients older than 50 years ...
Elevated Red blood cell distribution width predicts mortality in acute exacerbation of COPD
(2016)
Objective: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been shown to predict clinical outcomes in many diseases. To our knowledge, the prognostic significance of RDW in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary ...
Hydrocortisone reduces Toll-like receptor 4 expression on peripheral CD14+ monocytes in patients undergoing percutanoues coronary intervention
(2014)
Bacground: Evidence from several lines of investigations suggests that Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is involved in atherosclerosis as a bridge between innate and acquired immunity. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) ...
