Background/aim: In ulcerative colitis (UC), serum vascular endothelial growth factor (sVEGF) concentrations are elevated and there are conflicting results about serum calprotectin (SCP) and sVEGF as biomarkers. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between sVEGF and SCP levels in UC patients and the associations of these molecules with the phenotypes of UC.
Materials And Methods: This prospective case-control study included 60 UC patients and 30 healthy controls.
Objective: In this study, we aimed to assess the predictive value of Intermountain Risk Score (IMRS) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19.
Patients And Methods: Our retrospective study included the data of 194 patients who were admitted to the COVID-19 ICU of a tertiary care center. COVID-19 diagnoses were made by a positive result from a real-time reverse-transcriptase (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay of nasal and pharyngeal swab specimens.
Background: Shortand long-term lung damage after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been emphasized in many studies, but pulmonary-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has been examined only in a limited capacity.
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to assess pulmonary-specific HRQOL and dyspnea among patients hospitalized for COVID-19 by applying the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) to patient groups 1, 3 and 6 months following discharge (groups T1, T3 and T6).
Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between April 2020 and December 2020 at a tertiary hospital in Turkey.
Objective: Etiological evaluation of the patients who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of severe anemia (Hb<7 gr/dl) in the emergency internal medicine clinic between January and July, 2013.
Methods: In this study, 112 patients who were hospitalized in Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Education and Research Hospital emergency internal medicine clinic with severe anemia between January and July 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.
