Association of triglyceride‑glucose index in branch retinal vein occlusion.

Background: To investigate the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and newly diagnosed branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in patients.

Methods: The study included 57 individuals with BRVO and a control group comprising 50 healthy volunteers matched for age and gender. Detailed eye examinations were conducted, and various blood biochemistry and hematological parameters were recorded.

The Relationship Between Cytokine Concentrations and Severity Scoring Index for Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever.

Background This study aimed to investigate the effects of serum high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-1β, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels on disease severity and mortality in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) patients. Materials and methods This study was performed prospectively in the intensive care unit (ICU) and infection ward of a tertiary hospital in the Republic of Türkiye. Patients aged 18 years and older diagnosed with CCHF were included.

Comparison of intravitreal ranibizumab, aflibercept and bevacizumab therapies in diabetic macular edema with serous retinal detachment.

Purpose: To compare the effects of ranibizumab, aflibercept and bevacizumab treatments in treatment-naive diabetic macular edema(DME) patients with serous retinal detachment(SRD).

Therapeutic plasma exchange in non-immune hemolytic anemia associated with henna ingestion: A case report.

Henna is a herb that is used in traditional medicine for medical purposes as well as in the field of cosmetic. It is one of the agents that can trigger hemolytic crisis in G6PD deficient patients but it is considered safe in patients with normal G6PD enzyme. Here we present a case of non-immune hemolytic anemia occurred after ingestion of a homemade solution containing henna powder.

Determination of Neurodegeneration in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome with Retinal Segmentation Analysis.

: To compare the thickness of each retinal layer in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) versus healthy, age-matched controls by using retinal segmentation analysis.: In our cross-sectional study, 37 patients with PCOS (i.e.

A Patient With Bilateral Conjunctivitis Positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a Conjunctival Sample.

Purpose: To present a patient with bilateral conjunctivitis, testing positive for viral RNA of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in both nasopharyngeal and conjunctival samples.

Methods: A 40-year-old man with bilateral acute conjunctivitis and suspicious signs of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presented to the hospital. A detailed ophthalmic examination was performed.

The prognostic importance of VEGF-A, PDGF-BB and c-MET in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Introduction: We aimed to assess the effect of VEGF-A, PDGF-BB, and c-Met expression levels on survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer receiving bevacizumab therapies.

Patients And Methods: A total of 105 patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer between the years 2006 and 2016 were included in the research retrospectively.

Results: The progression-free survival (PFS) durations of patients with high expression levels of VEGF-A and with low expression levels of VEGF-A were 11 months and 10 months (p = 0.

The Influence of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus on Amplitude of Accommodation.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the amplitude of accommodation (AA) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and without diabetic retinopathy.

Materials And Methods: In two age- and sex-matched groups - one with twenty-nine eyes of 29 patients with type 1 DM, the other with twenty-nine eyes of 29 healthy individuals - retinal nerve fibre layer thickness and macular volume were determined by using optic coherence tomography in all quadrants, whereas AA was measured with the minus lens technique. The mean values of all three measurements were compared between the groups, and the effect of age, disease duration, (HbA1c and fasting blood glucose on AA were analysed using multiple regression analysis.
