Prevalence of Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anemia Among Nursing Students Working in the Internal Medicine Clinic.

Objective  The objective of this study is to evaluate the frequency of iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) among nursing students working in the internal medicine clinic of our hospital. Methods The study was designed as a prospective cohort study. The study population comprised nursing students working in the internal medicine clinic of our hospital from January 1, 2016, through June 1, 2016.

The association of decreased testosterone with atherosclerosis and inflammation in male predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease.

Purpose: To investigate the frequency of hypogonadism and its relationship to inflammation and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in male patients with predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods: A total of 105 patients with CKD, 55 (52.4%) as stage 3, 33 (31.

The assessment of P-wave dispersion and myocardial repolarization parameters in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Objective: The risks of sudden death and cardiac arrhythmia are increased in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here, we aimed to evaluate the indicators of arrhythmias, such as p-wave dispersion (P-WD), QTc dispersion, Tp-e and Tp-e/QT ratio in patients with CKD stages 3-5 on no renal replacement therapy (RRT).

Material And Methods: One-hundred and thirty three patients with CKD stages 3-5 and 32 healthy controls were enrolled into the study.

Sleep quality and risk factors of atherosclerosis in predialysis chronic kidney disease.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have more frequent sleep disorders and cardiovascular disease than normals. Since arterial stiffness as a risk factor of atherosclerosis can be evaluated with pulse wave velocity (PWV), we aimed to investigate the prevalance of sleep quality (SQ) and the relationship between SQ and risk factors of atherosclerosis and whether there is a relationship between SQ and PWV (the indicator of arterial stiffness) in predialysis CKD patients.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in CKD patients followed at the Nephrology Department in Konya, Turkey, between November 2014 and March 2015.

Frequency of nodular goiter and autoimmune thyroid disease in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and nodular and autoimmune thyroid diseases are frequently seen disorders. Previous studies reported conflicting results regarding possible association between PCOS and thyroid disorders. In this study, we investigated the frequency of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and nodular goiter in patients with PCOS.

Secondary breast, pancreatic, and renal involvement with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: Imaging findings.

The radiologic features in a patient with breast, pancreatic, and renal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are presented in this paper. Although diagnosis of lymphoma is based on histologic criteria, radiologic techniques may be helpful in the evaluation and follow-up of masses in patients with lymphoma.

Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of skeletal muscle coexistence with cutaneous infiltration.

This report describes a non-Hodgkin lyphoma case presenting with skeletal muscle and cutaneous involvement. A 75 year-old man was admitted to hospital with mass in the right upper extremity and skin lesions on the back of his trunk. Excisional mass biopsy was reported immunohistopthologically as large B-cell lymphoma.

Clinical assessment of 324 breast cancer cases in two centers between the years of 1992 and 2002.

The records of the 324 patients with breast cancer; diagnosed and followed in two different University Hospital between years of January 1992 and January 2002 were reviewed retrospectively. The median age of the patients was 49.0+/-12.
