    Relationships Among Markers of Inflammation, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, and Syntax Severity Score in the Early Phase of Acute Coronary Syndrome
    (2017-04-01) Dur, Ali; Ismailoglu, Ziya; Ismailova, Medine; Akbay, Dursun; UYSAL, ÖMER; METİN, HÜSEYİN; GÜLEN, BEDİA; SÖNMEZ, ERTAN; UYSAL, ÖMER; METİN, HÜSEYİN; GÜLEN, BEDİA; SÖNMEZ, ERTAN
    Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine a possible association between inflammation, as indicated by High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HsCRP) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the complexity and severity of coronary artery disease assessed using syntax severity score (SSS) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

    The relationship between anemia and recurrence of ischemic stroke in patients with Trousseau-s syndrome: A retrospective cross-sectional study

    Objectives: The relationship between cancer and thrombosis was first recognized by the French internist Armand Trousseau in 1865. Trousseau's syndrome is a spectrum of symptoms that result from recurrent thromboembolism associated with cancer or malignancy-related hypercoagulability. In this study, we investigated whether demographics, clinical features, or laboratory findings were able to predict recurrent stroke episodes in patients with Trousseau's syndrome. Methods: In total, 178 adult patients were enrolled in this retrospective cross-sectional study. All patients had been admitted to the emergency room of our hospital between January 2011 and September 2014 and were diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with malignancy (Trousseau's syndrome), and patients without malignancy. Results: There were several significant differences between the laboratory results of the two patient groups. For patients with Trousseau's, the hemoglobin levels for those with one stroke was 12.29 ± 1.81, while those in patients who had experienced more than one stroke was 10.94 ± 2.14 (p = 0.004). Conclusions: Trousseau's syndrome is a cancer-associated coagulopathy associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. In this study, anemia was associated with increased stroke recurrence in patients with malignancy (Trousseau's syndrome).

    Work-related injuries sustained by emergency medical technicians and paramedics in Turkey
    (2016-03-01) Gulen, BEDİA; Serinken, Mustafa; HATIPOGLU, Celile; OZASIR, Derya; Sonmez, ERTAN; KAYA, Gokhan; AKPINAR, Guleser; GÜLEN, BEDİA; SÖNMEZ, ERTAN
    BACKGROUND: Evaluated in the present study were locations, descriptions, and results of work-related injuries (WRIs) sustained by emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics in Turkey’s most crowded city, İstanbul. METHODS: After the present study had been accepted by the urban health authority, a questionnaire was emailed to the healthcare personnel of İstanbul’s 195 ambulance stations. RESULTS: Included in the present study were the responses of 901 members of staff (660 EMTs and 241 paramedics), with a mean age of 29.5±6.1 (min: 18; max: 61). The majority of participants (94.9%) had encountered verbal abuse from the public, and 39.8% had encountered physical violence from patients’ relatives. Levels of satisfaction with work in emergency medical services (EMS) was also evaluated, and 510 participants (57.6%) were unhappy. Regarding gender, female employees were more likely to be verbally attacked (p=0.01), while males were more likely to be physically attacked (p=0.001). It was reported that motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) were the most common cause of WRIs (81.4%), followed by needle-stick injuries (52.2%), ocular exposure to blood and other fluids (30.9%), and sharp injuries (22.5%). Only 10.5% (n=95) of WRIs were reported to authorities; 488 (54.2%) of participants just attended to the practice to prevent possible WRIs. CONCLUSION: For paramedics and EMTs, risk of WRI is obviously high. Strategies to decrease and prevent verbal and physical violence should be developed. Keywords: Accident; ambulance;

    Medial Longitudinal Fasciculus Acute Ischemic Changes may be Missed During Imaging
    (2018-04-01T00:00:00Z) SÖNMEZ, Ertan; Ozkan, Abuzer; Nasirov, Emin; GÜLEN, BEDİA; SÖNMEZ, ERTAN; GÜLEN, BEDİA
    The medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) is a pair of crossed fibers of axons, on each side of the brainstem that carries information about the direction of eye movement. An ischemic stroke is the most common cause of MLF syndrome. We report a patient with unilateral partial oculomotor paresis associated with internuclear ophthalmoplegia, which is a dysfunction of the MLF in the pontine. A second diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) showed a high-signal-intensity lesion in the brainstem. We would like to emphasize that detailed neurological physical examination and imaging control are essential aspects of clinical assessment for the diagnosis of MLF infarction because its detection based on imaging is challenging.

    The efficacy of a hemostatic agent in anticoagulant drug-induced rat bleeding model
    (2014-03-01) Sonmez, ERTAN; ÇAVUŞ, Umut Yucel; CİVELEK, Cemil; DUR, Ali; KARAYEL, Eda; Gulen, BEDİA; Uysal, Omer; İPEK, Gokturk; SÖNMEZ, ERTAN; GÜLEN, BEDİA; UYSAL, ÖMER
    Background: Bleeding is a major problem in warfarin pretreated patients who need emergency surgical procedures. APH is a hemostatic agent with ultra-hydrophilic and particulate properties. This study aimed to evaluate the in vivo hemostatic effect of APH in rats pretreated with warfarin. Methods: Forty-eight Wistar rats were divided into two main groups: one group was pretreated with warfarin and the other group was not. These two groups were further divided into three subgroups according to the administration of APH, wheat meal, or saline, for a total of six subgroups. Standard full thickness tissue defects were performed on the backs of the rats. Saline, wheat meal, or APH were administered to the bleeding defect site in both main groups. Hemostasis time and amount of bleeding were calculated. Results: The bleeding time in rats administered APH was significantly shorter than those administered wheat meal and saline. Consequently, the amount of bleeding was significantly less in the APH groups than in the control groups. Conclusion: APH has an effective hemostatic property in rats pretreated or non-pretreated with anticoagulants. Hemostatic agents can be useful for incidences of external bleedings, which are increasing because of anticoagulation.

    Prognostic value of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in patients with pulmonary embolism
    (2014-01-01T00:00:00Z) Cavus, Umut Yucel; Yildirim, Sinan; Sonmez, Ertan; Ertan, Cagatay; Ozeke, Ozcan; SÖNMEZ, ERTAN
    Aim: Preliminary evidence suggests that inflammation plays a role in the development and prognosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). We used the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a measure of systemic inflammation and investigated its association with PE.
