Prognostic Value of Hemoglobin Concentration and Graft Vein Blood Oxygenation on Renal Transplant Outcomes.

Objective: Our objective was to investigate vein blood gas levels in the transplanted kidney during surgery as a predictive factor for delayed graft function after renal transplant.

Materials And Methods: Sixty patients with renal transplant were enrolled in our study from January 2015 to January 2016. After vessels were declamped posttransplant, blood samples from the transplanted kidney veins were taken and acidosis and oxygenation in these samples were measured.

Combination of aspiration and non-aspiration fine needle biopsy for cytological diagnosis of thyroid nodules.

Background: Good cytological sample is very important for the cytological diagnosis of thyroid nodules. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of prepared samples by the combination of aspiration and non- aspiration fine needle biopsy.

Methods: In this descriptive - analytical study, sampling was done simultaneously for each patient in fine needle aspiration and non-aspiration biopsy.
