Background: Essential thrombocythemia is one of the chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms characterized by clonal proliferation of myeloid cells with variable morphological maturation and hematopoietic activity.It is characterized by excessive clonal platelet production with a tendency to thrombosis and bleeding. Thrombocytapheresıs is the removal of platelets by apheresis techniques. Thrombocytapheresıs is generally recommended in patients with essential thrombocythemia with acute, severe thrombotic or hemorrhagic events.
Methods: The study included 39 patients who were diagnosed with essential thrombocythemia, started cytoreductive and aspirin therapy, and underwent thrombocytapheresıs due to the development of acute severe thrombotic or hemorrhagic events, diagnosed in the adult hematology clinic of İnönü University Turgut Ozal Medical Center. Hemogram and biochemistry values of the patients were scanned retrospectively.
Results: After thrombocytapheresıs, a statistically significant difference was found between the first and last measurements of hemoglobin, mean platelet volume, White blood cell, neutrophil, platelet, platelet distribution width, creatine, lactate dehydrogenase, fibronogen and calcium levels of the patients.
Conclusion: The use of thrombocytapheresıs in patients with essential thrombocytosis causes a rapid decrease in platelet values as well as an effect on hemogram and biochemistry parameters. Other hemogram and biochemistry parameters such as platelet value should be monitored in patients.

This study aims to evaluate systemic immune inflammation index, systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI), and follistatin-like protein-1 (FSTL-1) levels in children with pneumonia and healthy controls. The study was carried out at the Seydisehir State Hospital between February 1, 2024 and June 1, 2024. The patient group included 44 children diagnosed with pneumonia and the control group included 45 healthy children without any disease.

Article Synopsis
- Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) is an enzyme linked to heart failure (HF), and this study examines its serum levels in various HF types.
- Researchers analyzed serum GSK3β levels in 112 HF patients and 50 healthy controls, employing echocardiographic evaluations and statistical analyses to determine significance.
- Results indicated that GSK3β levels were significantly elevated in HF patients compared to controls, with highest levels in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and lowest in reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), suggesting a potential protective mechanism related to ejection fraction.*

Article Synopsis
- Cholangiocarcinomas are malignant tumors originating from bile duct epithelium and are commonly found in dogs, particularly exotic breeds aged 2-5 years.
- The study analyzed five cases reported from 2012 to 2021, focusing on clinical signs, blood tests, and postmortem examinations to improve diagnosis techniques.
- Findings consistently included severe malnutrition, jaundice, anemia, and characteristic neoplastic cell clusters, although early diagnosis is challenging due to a lack of specific early-stage symptoms.
Age-dependent haemogram and sex-dependent serum biochemistry values in semi-feral Konik horses.

Semi-feral, free-roaming Konik polski horses are used in some European countries for preserving semi-open pasture landscapes. The estimation of their health status is still limited by insufficient data on various blood parameters. Therefore, our study aimed at the sex- and age-dependent analysis of haemogram and selected biochemistry parameters in healthy, semi-feral Koniks.
