Arginine is important in infectious diseases due to lymphocyte proliferation, nitricoxide production by macrophages, and the use of polyamides in the immune response. In this study, we aimed to examine the possible causes and consequences of urea cycle amino acid metabolism changes by comparing plasma arginine and urea cycle amino acid levels in Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the urea cycle and arginine metabolic changes and compared the plasma aminoacid levels of 35 COVID-19 patients and a healthy control group (n=35). The patient was diagnosed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction of oropharyngeal-nasofaringeal swab specimens. For statistical analyzes, Mann-Whitney U and chi-square tests were used. Results: The aminoacid plasma levels of argininosuccinate (1.03 µmol/L, p=3.3x10 -3 ), arginine (53.64 µmol/L, p=1.1x10 -3 ), aspartic acid (3.83 µmol/L, p=5.5x10 -9 ), citrulline (27.79 µmol/L, p=3.3x10 -5 ), glutamine (489.6 µmol/L, p=9.0x10 -17 ), lysine (206.4 µmol/L, p=5.8x10 -8 ), ornithine (129.5 µmol/L, p=0.012), plasma levels and glutamine/glutamate (p=3.4x10 -11 ), arg/ornithine (p=0.033), asp/argininosuccinate (p=0.011) ratios were decreased in the COVID-19 patient group compared to the healthy group. Conclusion: Arginine is significant in endothelial control, the urea cycle, and immune activation.

This study aimed to investigate the demographic characteristics and etiology of vertigo in patients who presented to the hospital with dizziness and were diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Materials and Methods: In this study, the data of patients who presented to a private secondary care hospital due to vertigo were retrospectively analyzed. Peripheral-central differentiation, medical history, and additional symptoms were examined and statistically compared between patients diagnosed with BPPV and those with generalized dizziness. Results: The study included 120 patients. Of the patients diagnosed with BPPV, 68.4% were female. Peripheral causes were detected in 76.6% (n=92) of the patients. Vertigo was the most common presenting symptom in 84.2% of the patients in the BPPV group. Eighteen (15.0%) patients with generalized dizziness and two (5.2%) with BPPV were hospitalized. The difference in the hospitalization rates of the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.003) Conclusion: BPPV is the most common etiology in most patients with dizziness. Therefore, knowing the general epidemiological and demographic characteristics of patients with dizziness is an important factor in the management of vertigo.","PeriodicalId":11814,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41976450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this study was to determine the number of patients brought to the emergency department by the pre-hospital system with a possible stroke, as well as the accuracy of diagnosis and placement in the SAMA code to determine the genuine diagnosis of stroke and its separation. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, 150 patients who were referred to the emergency department for a period of 1 year with a complaint of acute stroke by the pre-hospital emergency department were examined for the accuracy of diagnosis and placement in the SAMA code. Results: There was a weak correlation between thrombolytic administration and diagnosis when looking at the probable correlation between the data. The major complaint of the patient and the final diagnosis at the emergency department have a considerable relationship; however, it is a weak relationship. kappa is equivalent to 0.043 when assessing the coefficient of agreement between the patient’s history and the final diagnosis given in the emergency department. Conclusion: Pre-hospital emergency staff have a terrible track record when it comes to assess patients who are at risk of a stroke. This team is not very excellent at identifying people who require thrombolytic therapy. Personnel changes have little bearing on personnel decisions or diagnosis, which are affected by disease. Patients with thrombolytics are evaluated, diagnosed, and treated regardless of their age or gender.","PeriodicalId":11814,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42256797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: Hemograms, urine, and biochemistry results of patients with MH, radiological images and pathology results, hospitalization need, hospitalization durations, and hematuria causes acquired following hospitalization, and the expenditures during this phase were registered for the patients. Laboratory values for the detected hematuria causes were compared and examined statistically. Results: Seventy-eight patients admitted to the emergency department with MH were evaluated. The most common underlying pathologies were bladder cancer (34.6%, n=27), prostate pathologies (24.3%, n=19), kidney stone (8.9%, n=7), urethral stone (7.7%, n=6), kidney cancer (7.7%, n=6), bladder stone (6.4%, n=5), urinary infection (6.4%, n=5), kidney laceration (2.6%, n=2) and arteriovenous malformation (1.3%, n=1) respectively. The mean invoice amount covering the management starting from admission with MH was 6647±10200 ₺ for each patient. In operated patients (n=54), hospitalization duration, catheterization duration, and invoice amount were found to be higher; in patients with malignancy (n=34) age, hospitalization duration, catheterization duration, and invoice amount were higher (p<0.05, all parameters). Conclusion: Among patients with MH, those with indications for surgery and malignancy have a greater impact on health expenditure. We can conclude that it will be beneficial for both the patient and the economy to start the diagnosis and treatment process before the onset of MH with prevention and early screening workups.","PeriodicalId":11814,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44752535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
