Publication Metadata only Does CPAP treatment lead to gastroesophageal reflux in patients with moderate and severe OSA?(2017-03-01) OZCELIK, Hatice; KAYAR, Yusuf; DANALIOGLU, Ahmet; ARABACI, ELİF; Uysal, Omer; YAKAR, Fatih; KART, Levent; ARABACI, ELİF; UYSAL, ÖMERObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) leads to upper respiratory tract obstruction, causing increased abdominal-gastric pressure and decreased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and thus gastroesophageal reflux (GER). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is known to be an effective method for OSA treatment, but its effect on GER is still controversial. There are a very few studies investigating CPAP and GER relationship and performed based on pre- and post-treatment objective parameters of GER in patients with OSA. The study investigated the effect of CPAP treatment in patients with moderate and severe OSA without GER complaints on pre- and post-treatment objective GER parameters. The study included 25 patients with respiratory disturbance indices > 15 without reflux symptoms who had undergone polysomnography at sleep laboratory. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), waist, and neck circumference of the patients were documented. DeMeester score, LES pressure, and polysomnography parameters were evaluated pre- and post-CPAP. The results were statistically evaluated, and p value 0.05) was found comparing pre-CPAP and post-CPAP measurements. Objective criteria show that CPAP treatment does not cause reflux in patients with OSA. Unlike studies reported in the literature, this conclusion has been reached by pre- and post-CPAP assessments.Publication Metadata only Esophagus motility in overt hypothyroidism(2014-07-01) Ilhan, MAHMUT MUZAFFER; Arabaci, ELİF; Turgut, SEDA; Karaman, Ozcan; DANALIOGLU, Ahmet; Tasan, ERTUĞRUL; İLHAN, MAHMUT MUZAFFER; ARABACI, ELİF; TURGUT, SEDA; KARAMAN, ÖZCAN; TAŞAN, ERTUĞRULPurpose Gastrointestinal tract is one of the most affected systems in hypothyroidism. Despite decreased esophageal emptying, prolonged esophageal and gastric transit time have been indicated in previous reports, the mechanism of thyroid hormones activity and antibodies on the esophagus motility is not yet fully understood. This study was conducted to evaluate the esophagus motility by manometry in hypothyroid patients.Publication Metadata only Effect of pantoprazole and Helicobacter pylori therapy on uninvestigated dyspeptic patients(2015-01-01) BAYSAL, Birol; Senturk, HAKAN; MASRI, Omar; TOZLU, Mukaddes; KAYAR, Yusuf; ARABACI, ELİF; Uysal, Omer; BUGDACI, Mehmet Sait; Ince, ALİ TÜZÜN; ŞENTÜRK, HAKAN; ARABACI, ELİF; UYSAL, ÖMER; İNCE, ALİ TÜZÜNBackground/Aims: This study aimed to test the efficacy of empirical proton pump inhibitor use and Helicobacter pylori therapy for uninvestigated dyspepsia in a population with a high prevalence of H. pylori.Publication Metadata only Endosonography and elastography in the diagnosis of esophageal tuberculosis(2013-01-01) KOCAMAN, Orhan; Senturk, HAKAN; DANALIOGLU, Ahmet; TURKDOGAN, Kursat; Arabaci, ELİF; YILDIZ, Kemal; Ince, ALİ TÜZÜN; ŞENTÜRK, HAKAN; ARABACI, ELİF; İNCE, ALİ TÜZÜN
