    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, BÜLENT
    Objective: 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.

    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, BİLGE
    Streptococcus 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.

    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, SİBEL
    Objective: 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).

    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, GÜLAY
    Pseudomonas 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.

    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, MELİHA
    We 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.
