Bibliometric analyses of publications in the field of restless legs syndrome.

Purpose: Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a chronic neurological disorder and the incidence of RLS is a more common disease than known is accepted. This study was performed to identify and analyze the characteristics of RLS-related articles published from 2001 to 2020 using bibliometric analyses.

Methods: RLS-related articles published from 2001 to 2020 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database with predefined search terms.

Quality and readability of online information on plantar fasciitis and calcaneal spur.

Plantar fasciitis and calcaneal spur are common causes of heel pain in the community. People use the Internet to obtain medical information about diseases. We reviewed Internet information sources on plantar fasciitis and calcaneal spur for quality and readability.

Tularemia research activity: a bibliometric analysis between 1980 and 2020.

Introduction: Tularemia disease attracts attention as an important contagious zoonosis that has increased its impact in recent years. The aim of the study is to analyze the publications on tularemia between 1980 and 2020.

Methods: We performed literature retrieval in the Web of Science (WoS) on 22 September 2021.

Value of prognostic scores in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis patients in intensive care unit: a multicenter retrospective cohort study from Turkey.

Background/aim: There is a need for a scoring system for predicting ICU prognosis of patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), but there are limited data on it in the literature. Therefore, we aimed to determine the scores that can estimate the prognosis of patients with AAV during intensive care follow up.

Materials And Methods: All adult patients admitted to the medical ICUs of 4 reference university hospitals in Turkey due to AAV activation and/or disease/treatment complications in the last 10 years were included in this study.

Long-segment patchplasty of diffuse left anterior descending artery disease on the beating heart.

Objective: The rate of patients with diffuse left anterior descending artery (LAD) disease being referred for surgery has increased as a result of advances in endovascular techniques. In surgery of diffuse or multisegment LAD disease, surgical procedures with or without endarterectomy can be performed. In this article, we report our results of longsegment onlay patchplasty of the LAD with a left internal thoracic artery (LITA) graft without endarterectomy, on the beating heart, in patients with multisegment LAD disease.

Reinforcement of suture lines with aortic eversion in aortic replacement.

Background: In this study, we describe the technique of eversion of the native aortic tissue to prevent suture line complications, and report on our results with this technique.

Methods: A total of 42 patients who were operated on due to aortic aneurysm were retrospectively assessed. In all patients, an aortic segment of approximately 2 cm, which was left both distally and proximally, was everted to form a double-layer lumen and the grafts were anastomosed.

False Lumen Catheterization in a Patient Who Has Type A Aortic Dissection That Mimics Acute Inferior Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report.

We report a 61-year-old patient who suffered from a type A aortic dissection that mimicked an acute inferior myocardial infarction. During a routine cardiac catheterization procedure, diagnostic catheters can be inserted accidentally into the false lumen. Invasive cardiologists should keep this complication in mind.

Acute type-A aortic dissection with obstruction of the right coronary artery.

Occlusion of a coronary artery by an acute type A aortic dissection presents a life-threatening emergency that is rarely seen and easy to misdiagnose. We present the case of a 75-year-old male who experienced sudden onset of severe left-sided chest pain due to an acute type A aortic dissection that obstructed the right coronary artery. Following an initial misdiagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, imaging revealed the presence of an aortic dissection.

Simultaneous beating heart coronary artery bypass surgery and modified radical mastectomy.

Concomitant surgeries for unrelated diseases can be performed to minimize the risks associated with surgery and general anesthesia. In treating a male patient with breast cancer and severe coronary artery disease, we used the beating heart technique for a coronary artery bypass graft to avoid the negative effects of on-pump bypass on the possible acceleration of tumor growth. In this report, we present a unique case of concomitant off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery and modified radical mastectomy in a 56-year-old man.

Coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with gout arthritis.

Ischemic heart disease is accepted as the most common cause of mortality and morbidity nearly all over the world. Gout disease is the most common condition of inflammatory arthritis among the adult population. Literature includes limited information about the treatment strategies when both the conditions coexist.

Does mediastinitis affect the graft patency?

As inflammation began to be recognized as a major contributor to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, we evaluated the patients that developed mediastinitis, a long-standing inflammatory process, after coronary artery bypass grafting. There are many studies that have focused on the graft patency. But, till now, no study has been done to detect the effects of mediastinitis to graft patency.
