Aim: The aim of our study is to reveal the factors affecting the clinical course of COVID-19 infection and mortality in immune and non-immune patients aged 65 and over.Material and Method: The study was carried out by scanning the files of a total of 1,642 COVID-19 cases aged 65 and over. The 1337 cases included in the study were divided into two groups as follows: patients who were vaccinated with the 2nd dose of CoronaVac but became infected with COVID-19 after the 14-day period in which immunization should develop (Group I) and the others who were unvaccinated, or infected with COVID-19 after a single dose of vaccination or infected after receiving a 2nd dose of vaccination in 14 days (Group II). The groups were compared with each other about mortality and the factors affecting mortality.Results: The length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and the total length of hospital stay were significantly longer in Group II than Group I (p<0.05). The need for mechanical ventilation (MV) and the length of MV were also significantly higher in Group II than Group I (p<0.05). All patients enrolled in the study had lung involvement. The percentage of Computed tomography (CT) involvement over 50% was statistically significant in Group II (p<0.05). The percentage of severe and critically severe patients and mortality were significantly high in Group II vs. Group I (p<0.05).Conclusion: When we compared the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups of 65 years of age, we found that hospitalization in the ICU and the need for MV increased mortality, and the vaccine reduced the need for intensive care and MV.

Authors: BOLATTÜRK Ömer Faruk
Published: January 2023

Aim:In this study, it was aimed to reveal the factors affecting the time of presentation of patients with acute stroke to the hospital, determine the rates of benefiting from thrombolytic therapy and assess the thrombolytic therapy awareness of patients.Material and Method: 276 patients with acute stroke were included in our study. Standard structured questionnaire was administered to the patients. Patients were asked about the time of onset of stroke, age, place of residence, level of education, whether they received thrombolytic therapy, what was done as the first intervention, and whether they had information about thrombolytic therapy. Stroke severity was also evaluated by applying the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) to the patients.Results: Of the patients included in the study, 218 (79%) had ischemic stroke, 26 (9.4%) had intracerebral hemorrhage and 32 (11.6%) had TIA. The mean NIHH score of the patients was 6.7±6.2. Stroke onset time was mainly between 18.00-24.00 with a rate of 28.3%. It was understood that 83.1% of the patients came to the emergency department by ambulance and 16.9% came by their own vehicle. When the groups of patients who received and did not receive thrombolytic therapy were compared, no significant difference was found between who the patient lived with at home and the groups of the level of education. Statistical significance was found with symptom onset time (p<0.05). Significant differences were found when the time of presentation to the hospital was compared with the place of residence, type of stroke and symptom onset time (p<0.05).Conclusion: When the results are evaluated, it is necessary to reduce the delay time of patients with acute stroke, especially outside the hospital. Increasing the awareness of the patients about the symptoms of stroke and early treatment techniques will help to reduce mortality and morbidity.

Aim: Ultrasound-guided plane blocks have been employed frequently in Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of deep and combined serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) after VATS.Material and Method: The patients, in the age range of 18 to 65 years, with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of I-III, and body mass index (BMI) of 18-30 kg/m2, and undergoing lung resection with VATS were included in the study. Patients were informed about the study, and their written consent was obtained. Patients were divided into Deep SAPB (DSAPB) (Group 1) and combined SAPB (CSAPB) (Group 2) groups according to the analgesia protocol.Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic characteristics and surgical features (p>0.05). When the groups were evaluated in terms of the block performance time, it was found to be statistically significantly longer in the CSAPB group than in the DSAPB group (p<0.001). When the groups were evaluated in terms of VAS resting scores, the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th, 16th, 24th, and 48th-hour VAS resting results were found to be statistically significantly higher in the DSAPB group than the CSAPB group (p<0.05). VAS cough scores were statistically significantly higher in the DSAPB group at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th, 16th, 24th, and 48th-hour (p<0.05). When the groups were evaluated in terms of the side effects, additional analgesic use, and morphine consumption, they were found to be statistically significantly higher in the DSAPB group than in the CSAPB group (p: 0.026, p: 0.020, p<0.001, respectively).Conclusion: CSAPB provided effective analgesia after VATS for 48 hours. In addition, morphine consumption and the need for additional analgesics were low in CSAPB. However, the duration of the block procedure was longer in the CSAPB application.

Authors: BAYRAKTAR Burak , TANER Cüneyt Eftal
Published: January 2023

Aim: Septum pellucidum is a thin membrane with right and left leaves, and cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) is formed in the intermembrane region. This study investigates CSP nomogram dimensions for all trimesters in the Turkish population. In addition, the relationship between fetal Doppler flow and CSP size was investigated in this study.Material and Method: This study was designed as a prospective cohort between 2019-2020. Pregnant women between 19-42 weeks who were followed up at University of Health Sciences Tepecik Training and Research Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology were included in the study.Results: A total of 517 fetuses meeting our criteria were included in this prospective study. In the second trimester (19-28 weeks) CSP width (4.12±0.88 vs. 4.91±1.42, p<0.001) and length (7.95±1.04 vs. 9.48±2.19, p<0.001) were significantly higher than in the third trimester (28-42 weeks). While the mean CSP width increased up to 32nd weeks, there was no clear increase-decrease pattern between 32nd-38th weeks, and it was observed to decrease after 38th weeks. The mean CSP length increased up to 29th weeks, while there was no clear increase-decrease pattern between 29th-38th weeks, but decreased after 38th weeks. While a significant correlation was observed between gestational week and CSP width (r=0.118, p=0.010), there was no significant correlation between CSP length (r=0.086, p=0.062). A significant correlation was observed between biparietal diameter (BPD) and CSP width (r=0.180, p<0.001) and length (r=0.202, p<0.001), but not with head circumference (HC). There was a significant correlation between middle cerebral artery (MCA) systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D) (r=0.185, p<0.001), pulsatility index (PI) (r=0.210, p<0.001) and resistive index (RI) (r=0.233, p<0.001) and CSP length, but not with CSP width.Conclusion: Turkish population fetal CSP nomogram is presented in this study. Fetal middle cerebral artery Doppler measurements (S/D, PI, and RI) showing cerebral blood flow correlate with CSP length, but not with CSP width. There was no correlation between fetal umbilical artery Doppler measurements and CSP sizes. The results pave the way for population-based studies with much larger samples.

Aim: We consider mean platelet volume (MPV), a pointer of platelet activity related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and vascular complications, may have a role in patients using Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the MPV change after SGLT2i use in diabetic patients.Matherial and Method: Hemogram parameters such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, and MPV in the 0th and 24th weeks of 102 patients with T2DM that received SGLT2i treatment added to their existing medications and of the control group in which participants are compatible in terms of age and gender factor were compared.Results: A significant increase was observed in the values of MPV and hemoglobin in the 0th and 24th weeks (9.3 (8.2-10.3) to 10.1±1.3, p<0.001, 13.9±1.42 to 14.4±1.5 p<0.001, respectively). Similarly, the hematocrit value increased (42±3.7 to 44.2±3.8, p<0.001). There was also a significant increase in both red blood cell (RBC) and platelet counts (5±0.42 to 5.2±0.47, p<0.001, 252,000 (209,000-304,000) to 262,000 (221,000-322,000), p=0.007, respectively). No correlation was identified in patients with T2DM between MPV and age and gender factors, diabetes duration, body mass index (BMI), fasting and postprandial blood glucose, and insulin use.Conclusion: Contrary to the studies analyzing the relation between MPV and T2DM and its complications, we detected that a 24-week SGLT2i treatment led to an increase in MPV value.

Published: January 2023

Aim: The bone is one of the tissues that is adversely affected as a result of inflammation in COPD. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between airway inflammation, systemic inflammation and osteoporosis in COPD.Material and Method: A cross-sectional study was performed, including 50 patients with stable COPD. FeNO as a marker of airway inflammation; hs-CRP, WBC and fibrinogen as systemic inflammation markers; arterial blood gas, BMI and FEV1 were measured. To identify osteoporosis, DEXA was performed.Results: The prevalence of osteoporosis was 26%. Osteoporosis was associated with WBC and hs-CRP (OR: 1.80, 95% CI, 1.26-2.57 and OR: 2.32, 95% CI, 1.28-4.20, respectively). It was observed that the risk increased as FEV1 and BMI decreased (OR: 0.94, 95% CI, 0.89-0.98 and OR: 0.75, 95% CI, 0.61-0.91, respectively). There was no relationship between osteoporosis and FeNO and fibrinogen (OR: 1.05, 95% CI, 0.99-1.12 and OR: 1.04, 95% CI 0.98-1.09, respectively). Arterial blood gases (PaO2 and PaCO2) were not effective on osteoporosis (OR: 1.01, 95% CI, 0.95-1.05 and OR: 1.04, 95% CI, 0.90-1.19, respectively). The cut-off values of hs-CRP and WBC for osteoporosis risk were 15.9 mg/L and 11.6 ×10⁹/L, respectively.Conclusions: Osteoporosis was associated with low BMI, airway stenosis and high levels of hs-CRP and WBC.

Authors: KELEŞ Ahmet , KARAKECİ Ahmet , OZAN Tunç , YUVANÇ Ercan
Published: January 2023

Aim: The doppler-based renal resistive index is a recently proposed technique for measuring changes in renal perfusion and predicting acute kidney damage. The purpose of this study was to look at the influence of stone density on the renal resistive index (RI) after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in patients with non-obstructed kidney stones.Material and Method: Between May 2020 and July 2021, 48 consecutive patients with unilateral renal calculi of ≤ 20 mm were treated with ESWL monotherapy. The patients' non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) images were processed and grouped into two groups using Hounsfield units (HU) (Group 1, n=27, ≤ 1000 HU; Group 2, n=21, > 1000 HU). The same radiologist performed Doppler ultrasonography on all cases before, one hour, and one week following ESWL. Measurement of the RI taken in the remote region (at least 20 mm from the stones). Patient age, gender, BMI, stone laterality, stone size, and stone position were investigated as potential predictors.Results: The average stone size for Group 1 was 11.7±3.3 mm and 12.1±2.8 mm for Group 2. The mean RI values before ESWL for Group 1 and Group 2 were 0.54 and 0.53, respectively. On comparing the pre-treatment data with the 1 hour after ESWL, a statistically significant increase was recorded in the RI value for both groups. However, there was no significant difference in RI values between groups 1 and 2 1 hour and 1 week following lithotripsy therapy. After one week, the mean RI returned to pretreatment levels, according to a follow-up doppler investigation. There was no association between stone density and RI (p > 0.05). Conclusion: High stone densities detected with NCCT were not associated with a significant change in RI. Post-ESWL therapy alterations are present and reversible one week after the treatment.

Published: January 2023

Aim: The purpose of this study is to compare the marginal fit of crowns manufactured using different CAD/CAM materials on 2 different types of finish line design.Material and Method: Tooth preparations were made by creating 2 different finish lines (rounded shoulder, chamfer) on an acrylic mandibular second premolar model. Impressions were taken on each preparation using polyvinylsiloxane impression material, and blocks with three different compositions including lithium disilicate (LDS), zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS), and monolithic zirconia (MZ) (UP.CAD, Celtra Duo, and VITA YZ HT) were produced using a CAD/CAM (computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing) milling device (VHF R5) (n=10). The marginal gap values of the crown restorations were measured by the same operator using a stereomicroscope (LEICA DVM6). Histogram plots and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were used to test the normality of the distributions of the variables. The non-normally distributed (nonparametric) variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test for two groups and the Kruskal-Wallis test for more than two groups.Results: The marginal gap values were compared between finish line designs separately for each material. Accordingly, the marginal gap values of the rounded shoulder finish line were smaller than those of the chamfer finish line in all materials. The marginal gap values were also compared among the materials separately for each finish line type. Accordingly, the marginal gap values of the VITA YZ HT (MZ) material were smaller than those of the Celtra Duo (ZLS) and UP.CAD (LDS) materials for both finish line designs. There was no significant difference between Celtra Duo and UP.CAD.Conclusion: The finish line design is a factor that affects marginal fit. Monolithic zirconia is more appropriate for clinical use as it shows a better marginal fit compared to LDS and ZLS.

Aim: Nutritional indicators are associated with adverse outcomes in critically ill elderly patients. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic potential of prealbumin and albumin in the prediction of mortality in elderly patients with sepsis. Material and Method: A total of 108 patients who developed intensive care unit-acquired sepsis were divided into two groups: Survivors (n=72) and Non-survivors (n=36). Results: Patients in the Non-survivors group were often older (68 vs 74) and presented lower prealbumin (15.1 vs 11), and higher Charlson index (4 vs 6), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (8.5 vs 10), C-reactive protein (CRP) (68.8 vs 91) and procalcitonin (PCT) (6 vs 8.4) (p< 0.05). The area under the curve of PCT was the highest at 0.74. Prealbumin presented the best sensitivity (75%) and 12 mg/dL cut-off value, while PCT had the best specificity (75%) and a cut-off value of 7 ng/mL. Although prealbumin was negatively correlated to SOFA score in a significant way (r=-0.226, p=0.019), White blood cells, CRP, and PCT were positively correlated to SOFA score (r=0.198, p=0.040; r=0.233, p=0.015; r=0.286, p=0.003, respectively). In addition, a weak negative correlation was observed between prealbumin and CRP and PCT (r=-0.203, p=0.037; r=-0.215, p=0.026, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that a reduction in serum prealbumin levels compared to steady prealbumin greater than 4 mg/dL increased the risk of death by 85% (aHR: 1.85, 95% CI: 1.05-2.56, p=0.029). Conclusion: Changes in serum prealbumin in the acute phase of sepsis may assist in determining the risk of mortality and in the administration of specific treatment in critically ill elderly patients.

Aim: It was aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of primary tumor metabolic-volumetric parameters of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in resectable tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC).Material and Method: The imaging findings of 44 TSCC patients (23 females, 21 males, mean age: 58±12 years) with resectable tumors who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging for primary staging before surgery between 2010-2021 were evaluated retrospectively. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) of primary tumors were acquired from PET/CT. Histopathological risk factors (pathological tumor and nodal stage, perineural and lymphovascular invasion, depth of invasion, surgical margin positivity) obtained from surgical resection material of primary tumors were also recorded. The prognostic values of imaging and histopathological parameters were assessed by Cox proportional hazards regression models. Survival curves were estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier analysis.Results: The median follow-up period after diagnosis was 24 months (range: 2-152 months). The univariate and multivariate regression analyses demonstrated that MTV was the only parameter which was significantly related to prognosis for PFS and OS. The patients with higher MTV (> 3.13 cm3) had lower PFS and OS rates compared to those with lower MTV (≤ 3.13 cm3) (p<0.001, p=0.002, respectively). Conclusion: Primary tumor MTV is an independent prognostic factor in resectable TSCC. PET volumetric features can be used as prognostic biomarker to predict patients with poor prognosis.
