Retrospective Evaluation of Survival and Prognostic Factors in Immune Thrombocytopenia: A Single-Center and Cross-Sectional Study.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the autoantibody-mediated destruction of platelets. The treatment of ITP aims to maintain a sufficient platelet count to prevent bleeding. First-line treatment options include corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), while second-line treatments include splenectomy, rituximab and other immunosuppressive agents, and thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonists.

Effect of post-gastrulation exposure to acrylamide on chick embryonic development.

The critical developmental stages of the embryo are strongly influenced by the dietary composition of the mother. Acrylamide is a food contaminant that can form in carbohydrate-rich foods that are heat-treated. The aim of this study was to investigate the toxicity of a relatively low dose of acrylamide on the development of the neural tube in the early stage chick embryos.

Protective effects of safranal on kidney tissue in a rat model of distant ischemia-reperfusion injury with infrarenal aortic occlusion.

Background/aim: Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury to a part of the body can cause damage to distant organs such as the kidney and heart. This study investigated the protective effects of safranal against IR-induced renal injury.

Materials And Methods: Used in this study were 24 Wistar Albino male rats, which were divided into 3 equal and randomised groups.

Evaluation of anti-seizure medications and their serum concentration with regard to cardiovascular risk parameters: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: Epilepsy is a chronic disease that requires long-term monitoring and treatment. It is suspected that there is a interaction between the use of anti-seizure medications and the risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of the study is to investigate the association between the intake of phenobarbital, carbamazepine and valproic acid and their serum drug concentrations (SDC) with various cardiovascular risk parameters (homocysteine, folic acid, vitamin B12, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, high- and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)).
