The role of ultrasound and mitofusin-2 levels to predict pregnancy outcomes in patients with severe preeclampsia: a case-control study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate mitofusin-2 levels and fetal Doppler ultrasonography effects in patients with severe preeclampsia.

Methods: This single-center case-control study was conducted in the gynecology service of the university hospital in Van. A total of 90 pregnant women aged 18-40 years were included in the study.

Evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid levels for ALOX5, S100B, DEFA1, and GFAP in infectious meningitis.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine how the levels of peptide and protein-based biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid change in bacterial, tuberculous, and aseptic meningitis, and to determine the success of these agents in distinguishing between different types of infectious meningitis.

Methods: The levels of arachidonate-5-lipoxygenase, S100 calcium-binding protein B, defensin-α 1, and glial fibrillary acidic protein in cerebrospinal fluid samples from 20 tuberculosis, 40 bacterial, 25 aseptic meningitis patients, and 55 control groups were measured and compared using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 37.

Determination of Serum Differential Carnitine Ester Levels in HIV(+) Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: It has been reported that carnitine deficiency is observed in various viral infections and in the follow-up of the prognosis of some diseases. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to determine how carnitine ester derivatives change in HIV-positive patients.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 25 HIV-infected patients who applied to Harran University Faculty of Medicine Education Research and Practice Hospital Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Outpatient Clinic and who did not receive any antiretroviral treatment, as well as 25 healthy volunteers were included in the study.

Biological Variation of Iron, Transferrin, Ferritin, Folate, Vitamin B12 and 25-OH Vitamin D in Healthy Individuals.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the use of population-based-reference-intervals by calculating the individuality index and reference change value of iron, transferrin, ferritin, folate, vitamin B12, and 25-OH vitamin D parameters.

Methods: A total of 5 venous blood samples were taken from 11 female and 10 male individuals on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28. All tests were performed on an autoanalyzer and CVI, CVG, II, and RCV values were calculated for both genders and the whole groups.

Zaprinast and avanafil increase the vascular endothelial growth factor, vitamin D, bone morphogenic proteins 4 and 7 levels in the kidney tissue of male rats applied the glucocorticoid.

This study investigated effect of zaprinast and avanafil on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), bone morphogenic protein (BMP) 4 and 7, and vitamin D levels against the negative effect of dexamethazone. Rats were randomly divided into four groups ( = 6). Control: Empty a syringe was immersed and removed subcutaneously.

Within-subject and between-subject biological variation of first morning void urine amino acids in 12 healthy subjects.

Background Urine amino acid analysis is used for the assessment of various diseases. The aim of this study was to estimate the valid biological variation (BV) components (within- and between-subjects) required for the safe clinical application of free urine amino acids. Methods First morning void urine samples were taken from 12 healthy subjects (five females, seven males) once a week for 10 consecutive weeks, and amino acid analysis was performed using an Agilent 6470 triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer instrument.

Can zaprinast and avanafil induce the levels of angiogenesis, bone morphogenic protein 2, 4 and 7 in kidney of ovariectomised rats?

Objective: This study investigated effects of zaprinast and avanafil on angiogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), bone morphogenic protein (BMP) 2, 4 and 7.

Methods: Female rats were randomly divided into four groups ( = 6). Sham; abdomen was approximately 2 cm opened and closed.
