An evaluation of peripheral arterial tonometry for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea
(Deomed PUBL, 2018)
Objective:Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) as a portable method of monitoring sleep quality is a relatively recent innovation. The aim was to compare the results of PAT and polysomnography (PSG) and to evaluate the role ...
Factors affecting influenza vaccination rates among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Rize, Turkey
(AVES, 2018)
OBJECTIVES: Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are major components of COPD-related socioeconomic burden. Upper or lower respiratory tract infections, usually caused by respiratory viruses ...
An unusual radiological presentation of a pulmonary hydatid cyst in a child
(Medknow Publications, 2013)
Giant pulmonary hydatid cyst is usually encountered in adolescents and children who are older than 10 years. A relatively higher elasticity of the lung tissue allows rapid growth of cysts. We present a case of a 15-year-old ...
An asymptomatic saccular aneurysm of pulmonary artery: a rare case of solitary pulmonary nodule
(2015)
Pulmonary artery aneurysm, especially the peripheral type, is a rare disease. We present an asymptomatic adult case whom had
been underwent a series of correctional cardiovascular operations for Fallot tetralogy in her ...
A novel biomarker in the diagnosis of parapneumonic effusion: neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2014)
Background: The protein neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a mediator synthesized and released by neutrophils. Its physiological function is as yet unclear. Levels in blood increase in several inflammatory ...
Copeptin: a new predictor for severe obstructive sleep apnea
(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2015)
Introduction: Copeptin which is the C-terminal fragment of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a biomarker that has been reported to be increased in various cardiovascular disorders, cerebrovascular diseases and associated with ...
Soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor is a novel biomarker predicting acute exacerbation in COPD
(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2015)
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory condition, and progresses with acute exacerbations. (AE). During AE, levels of acute phase reactants such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and ...
The clinical utility of pleural YKL-40 levels in diagnosing pleural effusions
(Pioneer Bioscience Publ Co, 2013)
Background and objective: Recent evidence suggests that YKL-40 is a relatively new biomarker of inflammation and it is involved in the pathogenesis of several pulmonary diseases. Details of serum and pleural YKL-40 in ...
Arterial stiffness measured via carotid femoral pulse wave velocity is associated with disease severity in COPD
(Daedalus Enterprises Inc, 2014)
BACKGROUND: Patients with COPD face an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and increased cardiac mortality. Carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is a validated measure of arterial stiffness, a well recognized ...
The value of the platelet count and platelet indices in differentiation of COVID-19 and influenza pneumonia
(Wiley, 2021)
It is difficult to distinguish coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) from other viral respiratory tract infections owing to the similarities in clinical and radiological findings. This study aims to determine the clinical ...
