Background: Abnormal neutrophil extracellular traps are associated with lung diseases, thrombosis, increased mucosal secretion in the airways. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible place of the most specific NETosis marker Cit-H3 protein in diagnostic algorithms by revealing its relationship with the severity, mortality and prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.
Patients And Methods: Patients (n = 78) who applied to the Emergency Department between March 11, 2020 and June 10, 2020, with positive SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and lung involvement were included in the prospective study.
Background: This study aims to assess the prevalence of preoperative and postoperative nutritional deficiencies and associated factors in patients who are eligible for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Methods: Patients who underwent primary laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy between December 2018 and April 2020 were included in the study. All patients were screened by detailed laboratory tests pre- and post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy 6th and 12th months.
Background: Critically ill COVID-19 patients are prone to bloodstream infections (BSIs).
Aim: To evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and prognosis of BSIs developing in COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods: Patients staying at least 48 h in ICU from 22 March 2020 to 25 May 2021 were included.
Background: Epidemiology of nosocomial infections may show variability because of under-estimation of infection control measures (ICMs) in coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) outbreak.
Aim: To investigate the Acinetobacter bacteremia outbreak developed in an intensive care unit (ICU) between March 20 to May 15, 2020, examine the risk factors, and re-evaluate ICM retrospectively.
Material And Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted to determine the risk factors, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed for analysis of the outbreak, ICM practices were observed by a team, and infection control interventions were undertaken.
Objectives: We aimed to determine serum angiotensin II levels in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 infection and to investigate the effect of these levels on the prognosis of the disease.
Design: The study was planned prospectively and observationally.
Setting: The study was conducted in a tertiary university hospital.
