Assessment of Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratios in patients with acromegaly.

Background: Cardiovascular complications, including ventricular arrhythmias associated with abnormalities of ventricular repolarization, are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with acromegaly. Herein, we aimed to investigate ventricular repolarization using Tp-e interval, Tp-e interval/QT, and Tp-e interval/QTc ratios in acromegalic patients compared to healthy subjects.

Methods: A total of 29 patients (aged 51.

Regular coffee intake improves liver enzyme levels and liver histology in patients with chronic alcohol consumption, non-alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: Report of 259 cases.

Background And Aim: This study aims to investigate the effects of chronic coffee consumption (>5 years) and type of coffee in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) and patients who have regular alcohol consumption.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 158 healthy individuals and 101 patients with histologically proven NASH were enrolled. The daily amount of coffee intake, amount of alcohol use and type of coffee were calculated for all patients.

Determination of the upper limits of normal serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level in healthy Turkish population.

Background And Aim: Recent studies have reported that the widely accepted range of upper limits of normal (ULN) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels (ULN<40U/L) is high for the healthy population. We aimed to find the correct ULN level for men and women in a presumed healthy liver population group.

Materials And Methods: The data of 7410 healthy subjects visiting the check-up clinics were retrospectively analysed in this study.
