Accuracy of emergency physicians' interpretation of computed tomography for urgent-emergent diagnoses in nontraumatic cases.
Turk J Emerg Med
April 2022
Department of Emergency Medicine, Kas State Hospital, Antalya, Turkey.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy levels of the emergency physicians (EPs) managing the patient in the interpretation of the urgent-emergent pathological findings in thoracic and abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans.
Methods: The EPs interpreted the CT scans of patients who visited the emergency department because of nontraumatic causes. Then, a radiology instructor made final assessments of these CT scans.
Comparison of ETCO2 Value and Blood Gas PCO2 Value of Patients Receiving Non-invasive Mechanical Ventilation Treatment in Emergency Department.

Department of Emergency Medicine, Mugla Sitki Kocman University Training Research Hospital, Mugla, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- Capnography measures carbon dioxide levels in breath, specifically focusing on the difference between pCO2 and ETCO2 during respiratory treatment.
- This study evaluated whether ETCO2 could substitute for pCO2 in patients undergoing non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) due to respiratory issues like cardiogenic edema or COPD.
- Findings showed significant differences between pCO2 and ETCO2 values in patients treated with NIMV, indicating that ETCO2 cannot replace pCO2 for monitoring these patients.
The Importance of Intra-aortic Pulse Pressure After Anterior ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Department of Cardiology, Near East University Faculty of Medicine, Nicosia, Cyprus.
Objective: To evaluate the association of pulse pressure (PP) with mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in one-year period after anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (A-STEMI).
Methods: A total of 261 consecutive patients whose blood pressure was measured with the aid of a catheter before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) between August 2016 and February 2017 were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups according to pulse pressure (PP) (Group 1, PP<35 mmHg; Group 2, 35≤PP≤50 mmHg; Group 3, PP>50 mmHg).
The Negative Effect of Mean Perfusion Pressure on the Development of Acute Kidney Injury after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
Braz J Cardiovasc Surg
March 2019
Near East University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Cardiology, Nicosia, Cyprus.
Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of mean perfusion pressure (mPP) in the development of acute kidney injury (AKIN) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Methods: One hundred and forty seven consecutive patients with aortic stenosis (AS) were evaluated for this study and 133 of them were included. Mean arterial pressure (mAP) and central venous pressure (CVP) were used to calculate mPP before TAVI procedure (mPP = mAP-CVP).
An evaluation of sleep quality and the prevalence of restless leg syndrome in vitamin D deficiency.
Acta Neurol Belg
December 2015
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Antalya Training and Research Hospital, Varlık Mahallesi Kazım Karabekir Caddesi Soğuksu, 07100, Antalya, Turkey.
Vitamin D is known to increase levels of dopamine and its metabolites in the brain and also protects dopaminergic neurons against dopaminergic toxins. The aims of the study were to assess the frequency and symptom severity of restless leg syndrome (RLS) and sleep quality in vitamin D deficiency. A total of 102 patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study, comprising 57 vitamin D deficient patients as Group 1 and 45 patients with normal levels of vitamin D as Group 2.

Department of Surgery, Kaş State Hospital, Antalya, Turkey.
Background And Objectives: Perforation is a rare complication of gastric carcinoma and generally not diagnosed preoperatively. To clarify the clinicopathologic characteristics of patients with this condition we reviewed 13 cases of gastric cancer perforation who required emergency surgery.
Methods: A total of 13 patients with gastric cancer perforation were retrospectively reviewed.
