Publication Metadata only Malnutrition in elderly patients with renal failure: Importance of pre-dialysis period(2014-10-01) Kazancioglu, RÜMEYZA; CINAR, A.; Soysal, P.; GORCIN, B.; Isik, A. T.; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZA; BÜYÜKAYDIN, BANUBackground and aims: In elderly, renal failure is one of the major comorbidities. Malnutrition is another clinical problem in these patients- follow-up. In this study, we compared nutritional states of elderly patients with different renal functions.Publication Metadata only The effect of sleep apnea syndrome on the development of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes(2012-10-01) Akkoyunlu, MUHAMMED EMİN; Kazancioglu, RÜMEYZA; Buyukaydin, BANU; OZCELIK, Hatice Kutbay; ERKOC, Reha; KART, Levent; BÜYÜKAYDIN, BANU; AKKOYUNLU, MUHAMMED EMİN; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZAAims: Type 2 diabetes mellitus and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are serious comorbidities. Effects of OSAS on diabetic microvascular complications are ongoing research subjects. We evaluated the incidence of OSAS in Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with nephropathy and with no renal involvement.Publication Open Access Aortic Dissection In Case with Chronic Kidney Disease(2017-10-01) Buyukaydin, BANU; Alay, Murat; Kazancioglu, RÜMEYZA; UGUR, Aycan; Tunc, MUHAMMED; TEKER, Melike Elif; Inan, BEKİR; ERKOC, Reha; BÜYÜKAYDIN, BANU; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZA; TUNÇ, MUHAMMED; İNAN, BEKİRAortic disection is an urgent clinical problem that rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment is life-saving. Hypertension is one of the major risk factors. In this paper, a 56 years old female patient with hypertension and renal failure was presented. In this case after clinical suspicion aortic dissection was diagnosed with imaging studies. Endovascular aortic repair was performed but after surgery, patient died because of possible hemorrhage complication.Publication Metadata only Evaluation of the relationship between serum apelin levels and vitamin D and mean platelet volume in diabetic patients(2014-09-01) Buyukaydin, BANU; Zorlu, MEHMET; Cakirca, MUSTAFA; KESGIN, Sidika; YAVUZ, Erdinc; ARDIC, Cuneyt; Camli, AHMET ADİL; CIKRIKCIOGLU, Mehmet Ali; KISKAÇ, MUHARREM; ZORLU, MEHMET; ÇAKIRCA, MUSTAFA; KARATOPRAK, CUMALİ; BÜYÜKAYDIN, BANU; ÇAMLI, AHMET ADİLObjectives. - It was reported that Vitamin D deficiency was associated with a greater risk of cardiometabolic diseases, obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus type 2, arterial hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Apelin is an adipocytokine suspected to have a role in skeletal muscle glucose utilization and glycemic regulation which may be a promising treatment modality for diabetes. It was recently reported that increased mean platelet volume (MPV) was emerging as an independent risk factor for thromboembolism, stroke, and myocardial infarction. In patients with diabetes, MPV was higher compared with the normal glycemic controls; in addition, it has been proposed that an increase in MPV may play a role in the micro- and macro-vascular complications related to diabetes. We postulated that deficiency in Vitamin D levels might be associated with higher MPV and lower serum apelin levels leading a further increase in insulin resistance in diabetic patients. So, we aimed to investigate Vitamin D levels, MPV and serum apelin levels in diabetic patients and their correlations between each other. Materials and method. - This is a cross-sectional study design. Seventy-eight patients with Diabetes Mellitus type 2, admitted to our outpatient clinic of internal medicine department at Bezmialem Vakif University, were included in our study. Forty-one patients were female; 37 patients were male. Serum apelin levels, fasting glucose levels, urea, creatinine, triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), fasting serum insulin level, HbAl(c), free T3, free T4, TSH, vitamin D (25-OH Vitamin D) and complete blood counts were analyzed in all subjects. Results. - Each sex was analyzed separately. We found that a positive correlation existed between serum apelin levels and BMI in female patients. (r: 0.380, P: 0.014) There was also a significant positive correlation between MPV and HbAl, and fasting glucose levels and a negative correlation between MPV and PLT. (r: 0.377, P: 0.021; r: 0.395, P: 0.014; r: 0.401, P: 0.011; respectively) We failed to show a significant relationship between serum vitamin D levels, serum apelin levels and MPV in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. Conclusion. - We failed to show an association between vitamin D, apelin and MPV higher volumes of which may have a role in cardiovascular complications related to diabetes by increasing platelet activation.

A variety of microorganisms are identified in these cases and during recent years a new one was included, Pantoea agglomerans. In this case report, a female patient on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis therapy with a peritonitis episode caused by this organism is described. The source of infection was thought to be due to contact of catheter with non-sterile surfaces. In microbiologic culture, this organism was identified and the patient successfully treated with a three week course of gentamicin therapy. The number of reported cases with this organism has increased in last years and various infection localizations and clinical progress patterns have been identified. In peritoneal dialysis patients presenting with peritonitis, this organism must be kept in mind.Publication Open Access Frequency and determinants of erectile dysfunction in Turkish diabetic men(2015-03-01) Buyukaydin, BANU; KISKAC, MUHARREM; ZORLU, MEHMET; CAKIRCA, MUSTAFA; KARATOPRAK, CUMALİ; YAVUZ, Erdinc; KISKAÇ, MUHARREM; ZORLU, MEHMET; ÇAKIRCA, MUSTAFA; BÜYÜKAYDIN, BANU; KARATOPRAK, CUMALİBackground: Erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual performance. ED is observed more frequently and manifests earlier in diabetic patients compared to the normal population. Material and Methods: One hundred and seventeen consecutive male type 2 diabetes patients seen in our Diabetes Outpatient Clinic were included in our study and these patients were evaluated in terms of the presence and duration of ED, treatment and response to treatment of ED, duration of diabetes mellitus, HbA1c levels, and the presence of microalbuminuria, estimated from 24‑hour urine collections. Results: The patients included in our study were divided into three groups: Patients with no ED, mild‑to‑moderate ED, and severe ED. Twenty‑nine patients (24.8%) fell in the no ED group, 28 (23.9%) in the mild‑to‑moderate ED group, and 60 (51.3%) in the severe ED group. There were statistically significant differences between these three groups in terms of age (P = 0.015) and duration of diabetes mellitus (P = 0.03). The groups were similar in terms of microalbuminuria measured from 24‑hour urine collections and HbA1c levels (P = 0.328 and P = 0.905, respectively). Twenty‑three of the 88 patients with ED (26.1%) were on ED treatment and 43.5% of these patients reported benefit from the therapy. Conclusion: Age and duration of diabetes were the main determinants of the presence and severity of ED in male Turkish type 2 diabetic patients. The HbA1c levels were higher in patients with ED, but the differences in levels between the groups did not reach statistical significance.Publication Metadata only A comparison of end-stage renal disease and Alzheimer-s disease in the elderly through a comprehensive geriatric assessment(2014-08-01) Buyukaydin, BANU; Soysal, Pinar; Isik, Ahmet Turan; Kazancioglu, RÜMEYZA; SOYSAL, PINAR; BÜYÜKAYDIN, BANU; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZAThe percentage of patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) treatment and of patients with Alzheimer-s disease (AD) within the elderly population is increasing day by day. Functional dependence, malnutrition, cognitive impairment or depression impairs the quality of life and increases mortality in both diseases. This study aims to assess HD and AD patients through comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) and compare their results.
