Frequency of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Associated Factors Among Survivors of Van Avalanche: 6-Month Follow-up Study.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the frequency of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), to determine the risk factors, and to monitor the change of symptoms after 6 months among individuals who survived the avalanche disaster in Van.

Method: Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 35 people who were rescued from two consecutive avalanche disasters in Van 2 months and 6 months after the avalanche disaster. The socio-demographic and clinical data of the cases were evaluated.

Evaluation of the effects of chronic biomass fuel smoke exposure on peripheral endothelial functions: an observational study.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of chronic biomass fuel (BMF) smoke exposure on peripheral endothelial functions.

Methods: Forty-seven healthy subjects who have been exposed to BMF smoke since birth (mean age 31.6±6.

[Coexistence of anomalous sinus node artery originating from the left anterior descending artery and agenesis of the right coronary artery].

Sinus node artery originates from the proximal segment of the right coronary artery, left circumflex artery, or from both. We present a 55-year-old man who underwent coronary angiography for exercise-induced chest pain localized in the epigastric region that resolved within several minutes of resting. He had an anomalous sinus node artery originating from the left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery agenesis.

Split right coronary artery: a report of two cases.

Split right coronary artery (RCA) is a congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries where either two separate arteries arise from the aortic trunk or RCA bifurcates into two major arteries immediately after its origin from the right sinus of Valsalva. We present two cases (59-year-old male, 50-year-old female) who sought treatment for exercise-induced angina pectoris. Coronary angiography revealed a split RCA in both cases.

Sinoatrial node artery arising from posterolateral branch of right coronary artery: definition by screening consecutive 1500 coronary angiographies.

Objective: Sinoatrial node (SAN) artery originates from proximal segment of right coronary artery (RCA) or from left circumflex artery. Sinoatrial node artery artery originating from posterolateral (PL) branch of RCA is very rare. Only several cases have been reported.
