Publication Metadata only Red Cell Volume Distribution Width to Platelet Ratio is an Important Predictor of Liver Fibrosis and Cirrhosis in Chronic Hepatitis B(2016-08-01) Hakyemez, Ismail Necati; BOLUKÇU, SİBEL; Durdu, BÜLENT; ASLAN, Turan; HAKYEMEZ, İSMAİL NECATİ; BOLUKÇU, SİBEL; DURDU, BÜLENTObjective: In recent years, a lot of non-invasive tests have been examined for estimating the severity of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We aimed to evaluate the role of simple and valuable platelet-derived indices in estimating the stage of fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with CHB.Publication Metadata only Infective endocarditis case due to streptococcus parasanguinis presented with spondylodiscitis(2016-01-01) Hakyemez, Ismail Necati; Durdu, BÜLENT; Okay, GÜLAY; GULTEPE, Bilge; Bolukcu, SİBEL; ASLAN, Turan; HAKYEMEZ, İSMAİL NECATİ; DURDU, BÜLENT; OKAY, GÜLAY; BOLUKÇU, SİBEL; SÜMBÜL, BİLGEStreptococcus parasanguinis is a natural member of oral flora. It is an opportunistic pathogen, and rarely cause systemic infections due to it-s low virulence. Subacute infective endocarditis may present with various clinical manifestations (eg., spondylodiscitis). A sixty-five years old male patient from Northern Iraq has referred to our emergency service with high fever, weight loss, back pain and inability to walk. The patient was a veterinarian. He was operated three years ago for colonic carcinoma and irradiated. In magnetic resonance imaging, spondylodiscitis was detected localized in lumbar 1-2 region. Transthorasic echocardiography demonstrated aortic valve vegetation. S. parasanguinis was identified in the blood cultures. In conclusion; all in all, it-s remarkable to isolate S. parasanguinis as a causal agent of infective endocarditis in a patient who is a veterinarian with history of colonic carcinoma presented with clinical manifestation of spondylodiscitis.Publication Metadata only Evaluation of the Relationship Between ABO/Rh Blood Groups and Severity of Liver Fibrosis in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B(2016-04-01) Hakyemez, Ismail Necati; Durdu, BÜLENT; BOLUKÇU, SİBEL; ASLAN, Turan; HAKYEMEZ, İSMAİL NECATİ; DURDU, BÜLENT; BOLUKÇU, SİBELObjective: Studies on the severity of fibrosis in chronic viral hepatitis are scarce and limited with only hepatitis C infection. The aim of this study was to determine the role of ABO-Rh blood groups in the severity of fibrosis and progression to cirrhosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Publication Metadata only Changes in HIV demographic patterns in a low prevalence population: no evidence of a shift towards men who have sex with men(2016-07-01) SARGIN, Fatma; YILDIZ, Dilek; AYDIN, Ozlem Altuntas; Mete, Bilgul; GUNDUZ, Alper; KARAOSMANOGLU, Hayat Kumbasar; Yemisen, Mucahit; YAZICI, Saadet; BOLUKÇU, SİBEL; Durdu, BÜLENT; SENATES, Ebubekir; Ozaras, Resat; DOKMETAS, Ilyas; Tabak, Fehmi; BOLUKÇU, SİBEL; DURDU, BÜLENTObjectives: This study aimed to examine the changes in HIV demographics over time in an exceptionally low prevalence population, with particular emphasis on men who have sex with men (MSM).Publication Metadata only A rare cause of liver abscess secondary to hydatid cyst: pseudomonas stutzeri(2016-01-01) Durdu, BÜLENT; Hakyemez, Ismail Necati; Bolukcu, SİBEL; Okay, GÜLAY; ASLAN, Turan; DURDU, BÜLENT; HAKYEMEZ, İSMAİL NECATİ; BOLUKÇU, SİBEL; OKAY, GÜLAYPseudomonas stutzeri is non-fermentative gram negative bacteria which rarely leads to infections. In this report, we presented for the first time a liver abscess which was caused by P.stutzeri.Publication Metadata only Investigation of the changing etiology and risk factors of prosthetic joint infections : a university hospital surveillance study from 2011-2017(2020-03-01T00:00:00Z) Gultepe, Bilge Sumbul; OKAY, GÜLAY; Bolukcu, Sibel; DURDU, BÜLENT; Koc, Meliha Meric; TUNCAY, İBRAHİM; BOLUKÇU, SİBEL; DURDU, BÜLENT; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; TUNCAY, İBRAHİM; MERİÇ KOÇ, MELİHAWe sought to characterize the causative pathogens of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs), evaluate the trends in microbial etiologies, and identify potential risk factors for PJI. This was a retrospective study analyzing 70 patients with PJI following 3,253 total joint arthroplasties between 2011 and 2017. Staphylococci were the most common cause of infection (52.9%). There was a significant trend in the percentage of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacilli (GNB) (increased to 66.7% in 2016 from 0.0% in 2011) (p=0.021). GNB and polymicrobial etiology were found at significantly high levels in cases involving early PJIs (p=0.005 and p=0.048, respectively). While staphylococci were significantly higher in PJIs after total knee arthroplasty (75%), GNB were significantly higher in PJIs after total hip arthroplasty (49.1%) (p<0.001 and p=0.001, respectively). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of PJI was significantly higher in cases with fracture and diabetes mellitus (odds ratio [OR], 4.3, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.78-10.5; OR, 4.1, 95% CI, 1.66-10.5, respectively). These results suggest that the empirical and targeted antimicrobial treatment of PJIs may become more difficult in the future.
