Our aim is to evaluate the relationship between BMF degree and RDW values in patients with MPNs. Method: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 118 patients, who were followed with the diagnosis of MPNs at our Hematology Clinic between 2010 and 2017. Results: 52 patients had PV, 60 had ET, 4 had PMF and 2 had unclassifiable MPN. Twentynine (24.6%) patients were with grade 0 and grade 1 reticulin fibrosis were considered to be free of BMF, and the remaining 89 (75.4%) patients with ≥ grade 2 reticulin fibrosis were considered to have BMF. The median RDW value was 14.6% (range 12,4-23,1%). The median RDW value revealed with 14.1% (range, 12.4-17.8) in patients without BMF and 15% (range, 12.4-23.1) in patients with BMF (p=0.054). In subgroup analysis of 8 patients with advanced BMF of grade 3, the median RDW value was 18.45% (range, 16.4-23.1) and it was 14.45% (range, 12.4-23) in the remaining 110 patients (p=0.008). Conclusion: Although the present study does not provide a precise conclusion about the association between RDW and BMF, it seems that increased RDW can point out the presence of advanced BMF in patients with MPNs.","PeriodicalId":238749,"journal":{"name":"Kocaeli Medical Journal","volume":"364 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134479139","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}

In some cases, it may be necessary to use alternative methods such as percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC), especially in grade III patients. Based on this problem, the aim of our study is to determine the effects of percutaneous cholecystostomy placed in the early (first 72 hours) or late (72 hours and later) periods, on mortality and morbidity, in patients with Grade III acute cholecystitis. Method: Patients with acute cholecystitis treated between January 2012 and December 2018 were evaluated. The patients were divided into 2 groups as the group with PC placement in the first 72 hours of the symptoms started (Group-I, n= 19) and the group with PC placement after 72 hours (Group-II, n=13). Results: A total of 32 patients with grade III acute cholecystitis who underwent percutaneous cholecystostomy between this period were included in the study. Early morbidity was observed in 7 (21.87%) patients, while hospital mortality was observed in 11 patients (34.37%). While there was no significant difference in morbidity between early PC (first 72 hours, Group-I) and late PC (72. hour and later, Group-II) in patients with grade III acute cholecystitis (p=0.67), there was a significant difference in mortality in Group-II compared to Group-I ( p=0.001). Conclusion: According to our study results, we strongly recommend that the procedure be applied to the required patients within the first 72 hours by making a quick decision on the implantation of a PC in a multidisciplinary manner. uygulanan Grade-III akut kolesistitli hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Erken morbidite 7 hastada (% 21.87), hastane mortalitesi 11 hastada (% 34.37) gözlendi. Grade-III akut kolesistitli hastalarda erken PK (ilk 72 saat, Grup-I) ve geç PK (72. saat ve sonrası, Grup-II) arasında morbidite açısından anlamlı bir fark gözlenmez iken (p = 0.67), Grup-II’ ye göre Grup-II’ de mortalitede istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır (p = 0,001). Sonuç: Çalışma sonuçlarımıza göre PK yerleştirilmesinin multidisipliner verilen karar ile hızlı bir şekilde ilk 72 saat içinde gerekli hastalara uygulanmasını şiddetle tavsiye ediyoruz.

It is primarily used as a second-line antianginal agent in stable coronary artery disease. The study was designed considering that the active ingredient ranalozine, which has antiischemic effects through ischemic sodium channels, can reduce ischemia in the perioperative period and reduce the frequency of perioperative myocardial infarction. Methods: The study included patients with stable angina pectoris who underwent coronary angiography between January 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016 at Koşuyolu Training and Research Hospital and who were diagnosed with multi-vessel disease or LMCA disease, and then for whom the joint council of Cardiology-Cardiovascular Surgery made a decision in favor of coronary artery bypass grafting. Results: The mean age was 61.2 ± 8.6 years in the ranolazine group, while the mean age of the patients receiving standard therapy was 57.9 ± 8.8 years (p = 0.073).The EuroSCOREs of the patients before the operation which were used to predict intraoperative mortality were similar. Mean troponin value of Group 1 patients at 0 hour was 1.70 (1.13-2.77), while mean troponin value of the patients in Group 2 at 0 hour was 2.76(1.69-6.20) (p=0,01). Conclusion: In the present study, the immediate postoperative troponin 0 value was found to be lower in the ranolazine group. There was no statistical difference in terms of troponin values measured at 12 and 24 hours. In this study, we showed that early myocardial damage was significantly reduced with ranolazine treatment.","PeriodicalId":238749,"journal":{"name":"Kocaeli Medical Journal","volume":"2018 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123995902","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}
