The Incidence and Risk Factors of Refeeding Syndrome-like Hypophosphatemia in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Preliminary Study.

Background And Aims: Refeeding syndrome (RFS) is defined by the presence of acute electrolyte disturbances, including hypophosphatemia. Underlying disease(s), malnutrition and hospitalisation are known risk factors for RFS. It can occur in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Frequency and Related Risk Factors of Refeeding Hypophosphatemia in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis: A Pilot Study.

Background And Aim: Refeeding hypophosphatemia (RH) is associated with poor clinical outcomes and mortality. The presence of RH in patients with liver cirrhosis remains unclear. This study aims to determine the frequency of RH related to nutritional status and disease severity in liver cirrhosis.

Anthocyanin-rich black carrot (Daucus carota ssp. sativus var. atrorubens Alef.) and red cabbage (Brassica oleracea) extracts incorporated biosensor for colorimetric detection of Helicobacter pylori with color image processing.

In this work, we developed novel colorimetric biosensors consisting of anthocyanin-rich either black carrot (Daucus carota ssp. sativus var. atrorubens Alef.

Healthcare-Related HCV Genotype 4d Infections in Kayseri, Turkey.

Background: The frequency of genotype 4 hepatitis C virus infection is significantly higher in a city compared to other provinces in Turkey. In this study, we aimed to investigate the epidemiology and risk factors of hepatitis C virus genotype 4 infection in Kayseri province of Turkey.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted with 61 hepatitis C virus genotype 4-infected patients and 71 controls.

Novel Anthocyanin-Based Colorimetric Assay for the Rapid, Sensitive, and Quantitative Detection of .

Several different diagnostic tests have been reported for rapid, sensitive, and economical detection of bacterial pathogens, but most lack widespread and practical use in the clinic. In this study, we used anthocyanins from red cabbage () as a natural pH indicator and, for the first time, incorporated this agent into a simple, rapid, and economical colorimetric strategy for the detection of () (RCE@test). We prepared two sets of RCE@test solutions (test 1 is purple, and test 2 is blue) in different forms, including liquid, adsorbed filter paper, and agar, and investigated the performance of each RCE@test as a function of the test volume, concentration, and reaction time.

Exogenous pulmonary surfactant: A review focused on adjunctive therapy for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 including SP-A and SP-D as added clinical marker.

Type I and type II pneumocytes are two forms of epithelial cells found lining the alveoli in the lungs. Type II pneumocytes exclusively secrete 'pulmonary surfactants,' a lipoprotein complex made up of 90% lipids (mainly phospholipids) and 10% surfactant proteins (SP-A, SP-B, SP-C, and SP-D). Respiratory diseases such as influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection are reported to preferentially attack type II pneumocytes of the lungs.

Best prognostic factor of neuroendocrine tumors: Grade or Stage? A multidisciplinary single-center study.

Background/aims: Currently, there is no definite consensus about the prognostic factors of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). We evaluate epidemiology, survival and especially prognostic factors in NETs.

Materials And Methods: Patients who had a NET and were diagnosed between 2000 and 2014 at a tertiary care center were included.

Plasma glutamine and cystine are decreased and negatively correlated with endomysial antibody in children with celiac disease.

Background And Objectives: Glutamine is a nonessential amino acid which improves intestinal mucosal regeneration and absorption. Glutathione is a vital molecule for antioxidant reactions and is synthesized from cystine. The first aim of the study is to measure the plasma glutamine and cystine in children with celiac disease (CD) and compare them with controls.

AMINO ACID LEVELS IN CHILDREN WITH CELIAC DISEASE.

Background & Aim: plasma amino acid levels may show differences in regard to physiological changes, diet and diseases. The aim of the study is to measure the amino acid levels in children with celiac disease and compare them with the controls.

Material And Methods: sixty-two children with classic celiac disease and 62 age and sex matched healthy control were enrolled in this study.
