Digital Evaluation of the Changes in Eyelid and Ocular Surface Measurements and the Correlation of These Parameters with Visual Field Parameters After Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the change in eyelid and ocular surface parameters that were measured using a digital measurement program, the change in the visual field (VF), and the correlation between ocular surface area (OSA) and VF parameters in patients who underwent upper eyelid blepharoplasty for involutional dermatochalasis.

Methods: Patients who underwent upper eyelid blepharoplasty for involutional dermatochalasis between August 2015 and August 2019 were included in the study. The difference between preoperative and postoperative 3rd month values of manually measured margin reflex distance 1 (MRD1), digitally measured eyelid and ocular surface parameters (MRD1, MRD 2 [MRD2], upper eyelid crease height [ECH], pretarsal show height [PTH], eyebrow line-height [EBH] and OSA), and VF parameters were evaluated.

T-MACS score vs HEART score identification of major adverse cardiac events in the emergency department.

Background: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, and its prevalence is rising.

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the HEART and T-MACS scores for predicting major cardiac events (MACE) in patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain.

Method: This study was single center and prospectively conducted.

Focusing on C-4 position of Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines: Molecular modifications, enantioseparation, and binding mechanism to L- and T-type calcium channels.

1,4-Dihydropyridines (DHPs) represent the blockbuster class of L-type calcium channel blockers that have tremendous therapeutic value against cardiovascular conditions. Due to their abilities to additionally target other subtypes of calcium channels, DHPs are also considered promising molecules for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Having been in the market for more than forty years, DHP is one of the most modified scaffolds for the development of novel molecules acting on calcium channels.

Comparison of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in Patients Admitted to Intensive Care for COVID-19 Versus Other Reasons: A Single-Centered Study.

Objective: COVID-19 patients in intensive care usually need invasive mechanical ventilation due to advanced respiratory failure. Deep lym- phopenia, immunosuppressive agents, long-term mechanical ventilation, and sedation may lead to ventilator-associated pneumonia; an impor- tant cause of morbidity and mortality. This study evaluates the frequency, clinical features, causative pathogens, and outcomes of ventilator-asso ciated pneumonia in COVID-19 patients who require mechanical ventilation.

[Antibody Sustainability in SARS-CoV-2 Healthcare Professionals' Patient Cohort].

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate one-year follow-up of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) specific antibodies formed against the virus binding site, in a coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) positive case cohort (n= 413) between the period March 2020 to December 2020 in Manisa Celal Bayar University Hospital, until July 2021. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were determined by the chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLIA) method. Values of 1.
