Objective: The purposes of this study were to determine the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Trabzon city of Turkey and to identify appropriate risk factors for gestational diabetes in pregnant mothers.
Research Design And Methods: Eight hundred and seven adult pregnant women were screened for GDM with a 1-hour, 50 g oral glucose challenge test (GCT). Three-hour, 100 g oral glucose tolerance tests (GTTs) were performed on screen-positive women.
Purpose: Cisapride, a benzimide derivative, is a gastrointestinal prokinetic agent without dopamine-antagonistic or cholinomimetic effects. This study aims at assessing the effect of cisapride oral administration on portal flow in patients with advanced post hepatitic cirrhosis using duplex Doppler ultrasound (US).
Methods: A total of 12 patients with post-hepatitic liver cirrhosis were included in the study.
Background/aims: Omeprazole causes hypergastrinemia because of the effects of prolonged complete suppression of acid secretion and also gastrin has an excitatory effect on gallbladder contraction. Therefore, we investigated the meal-induced gallbladder emptying in healthy subjects receiving omeprazole and compared them to controls.
Methodology: Twenty healthy volunteers participated in this study.
Purpose: To assess portal and splanchnic haemodynamics, and splanchnic vascular resistance in patients with advanced post-hepatitic cirrhosis and in healthy volunteers, by means of duplex Doppler ultrasound (US).
Material And Methods: The duplex Doppler US examination was performed in 16 patients with cirrhosis and in 24 healthy volunteers. We investigated vessel diameters, mean flow velocities, and mean blood flows in the portal vein, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), and the splenic artery (SA), and measured the resistive index values of SMA and SA.
Purpose: To assess the effect of verapamil (80 mg) oral administration on portal and splanchnic hemodynamics in patients with advanced posthepatitic cirrhosis using duplex Doppler ultrasound (US).
Methods: Fourteen patients with post-hepatitic liver cirrhosis were included in the study. Duplex Doppler sonographic examinations were performed before, and 2-3 h after, 80 mg verapamil oral administration.
