EPIRETINAL MEMBRANES IN NEOVASCULAR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION: Effect on Outcomes of Anti-vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy.

Retina

August 2015

*Department of Ophthalmology, Sorgun State Hospital, Yozgat, Turkey; †Department of Ophthalmology, Yozgat State Hospital, Yozgat, Turkey; and ‡Department of Ophthalmology, Gazi University Medical Faculty, Ankara, Turkey.

Purpose: To iatients with neovascular age-related macular degenernvestigate the role of epiretinal membrane (ERM) on outcomes of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy in pation (nAMD).

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio may predict progression in patients with keratoconus.

Cornea

November 2014

*Department of Ophthalmology, Sorgun State Hospital, Yozgat, Turkey; †Medical Faculty, Department of Ophthalmology, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey; ‡Medical Faculty, Department of Ophthalmology, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University, Rize, Turkey; and §Faculty of Science, Department of Statistics, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey.

Purpose: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a new potential predictor of systemic inflammation in several diseases. In this study, we aimed to evaluate NLR in patients with keratoconus.

Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 54 patients with keratoconus and 25 age- and sex-matched control subjects.

Pseudotumor cerebri is a condition of increased intracranial pressure in the absence of clinical, laboratory or radiological pathology. Spinal intradural hematoma formation after lumboperitoneal shunt (LPS) implantation is very rare, but it can cause sudden and serious deterioration. In this report, we present a patient who developed an intradural hematoma following LPS operation.

Glaucoma is characterized by chronic optic neuropathy resulting in progressive vision loss. Not only is glaucoma considered as a condition of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), but also other risk factors may play a role in the pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic nerve damage. Vascular dysregulation in ocular blood flow and oxidative stress are currently suggested as important risk factors for glaucomatous retinal ganglion cell loss.

Ischemia-reperfusion damage.

Eurasian J Med

June 2013

Department of Pharmacology, Ataturk University Faculty of Medicine, Erzurum, Turkey.

Ischemia-reperfusion damage is a complex pathological process that begins with tissue anoxia and continues with the production of free oxygen radicals, expanding with the inflammatory response. The literature suggests the importance of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory treatment to treat ischemia-reperfusion-related tissue damage.

Tissue damage and oxidant/antioxidant balance.

Eurasian J Med

February 2013

Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, Ataturk University, Erzurum, Turkey.

The oxidant/antioxidant balance in healthy tissues is maintained with a predominance of antioxidants. Various factors that can lead to tissue damage disrupt the oxidant/antioxidant balance in favor of oxidants. In this study, disruptions of the oxidant/antioxidant balance in favor of oxidants were found to be a consequence of the over-consumption of antioxidants.
