Öğe Association Between Initial Findings Leading to Behcet's Disease Diagnosis and Further Organ Involvements(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2022) Yanatma, Irem; Sarac, Gulbahar; Cenk, Hulya; Arslan, Selami; Durmaz, Imge; Ay, GoncaObjectives: Studies show that the symptoms are clustered in certain ways in Behcet's disease (BD), which causes involvement of multiple organs. We aimed to investigate the association between clinical findings at onset and further organ involvements, which may occur during follow-up. Materials and Methods: A total of 363 patients diagnosed with BD in accordance with the International Criteria for BD (ICBD) between 2003 and 2019 at the Inonu University were included in the study, and all the first findings were compared with further organ involvements. Results: A statistical significance was detected between erythema nodosum like lesions and both pulmonary (P = 0.002) and vascular (P = 0.022) involvements. The frequency of neurological involvement was higher in patients with papulopustular/pseudo-follicular lesions (P = 0.043). Gastrointestinal involvement was detected in 33.3% of the patients with herpetiform aphthae. The frequency of ocular involvement was significantly higher in patients with a negative pathergy test result (P = 0.013). Conclusion: The clinical clusters in BD may provide a predictive value about the disease course for clinicians. Although it has been shown that there is an association between some clinical findings and involvements which are mentioned before, this is one of the most comprehensive studies according to us. The clinical clusters in BD may provide a predictive value about the disease course for clinicians. Although it has been shown that there is an association between some clinical findings and involvements in the literature, this is one of the most comprehensive studies as far as we know.Öğe Comparison of patients' diagnoses in a dermatology outpatient clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic period and pre-pandemic period(Wiley, 2021) Turkmen, Dursun; Altunisik, Nihal; Mantar, Irem; Durmaz, Imge; Sener, Serpil; Colak, CemilAim In this study, we compared the current diagnoses of patients admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic with the diagnoses during the non-pandemic period, and we examined the effect of COVID-19 on the patient profile. Methods Diagnoses were compared by examining the patient files of the 3-month period when the pandemic was influential in our country and the 2-week non-pandemic period corresponding to the same season a year ago. The outpatient diagnoses in the first month and the last month of the 3-month pandemic period were also compared. Results During the 3-month pandemic process, the most common reasons for applying to the outpatient clinic were acne, urticaria, psoriasis, and allergic/irritant contact dermatitis. Urticaria, psoriasis, allergic/irritant contact dermatitis, scabies, liken planus, mycosis fungoides, zona zoster, recurrent aphthous stomatitis and polymorph light eruption were statistically more common in the pandemic period. Moreover, acne, other eczematous dermatities, verruca, androgenic alopecia, and melanocytic nevus diagnoses were found to decrease statistically during the pandemic period when compared with the non-pandemic period. Conclusion Unlike other studies, the present study evaluated the patient diagnoses during the pandemic period and the period a year before and discussed the possible reasons for the changes in patient profiles.Öğe Evaluation of serum TWEAK, TRAIL, and oxidative stress markers in rosacea patients(Wiley, 2022) Durmaz, Imge; Turkmen, Dursun; Altunisik, Nihal; Uremis, Nuray; Uremis, Muhammed Mehdi; Sener, Serpil; Turkoz, YusufBackground Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of unknown pathogenesis. TWEAK and TRAIL are two cytokines thought to have a role in the pathogenesis of some inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Aims The purpose of this study was to examine TWEAK and TRAIL serum levels and oxidative stress markers in patients with rosacea. Material and Method Forty rosacea patients and 40 sex- and age-matched healthy controls were involved in the study. Serum TWEAK and TRAIL levels were evaluated with ELISA kits. Serum total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, total thiol, native thiol, disulfide levels were evaluated, and oxidative stress index was computed. Results Serum levels of TWEAK, TRAIL, and oxidative stress markers did not differ statistically in the patients and controls. Both TWEAK and TRAIL levels in the patients were detected to be statistically higher in male than in female. Conclusion TWEAK and TRAIL may not have a systemic effect in rosacea, unlike other inflammatory diseases. More studies are needed to investigate the role of TWEAK and TRAIL in rosacea.Öğe Exacerbations of generalized pustular psoriasis, palmoplantar psoriasis, and psoriasis vulgaris after mRNA COVID-19 vaccine: A report of three cases(Wiley, 2022) Durmaz, Imge; Turkmen, Dursun; Altunisik, Nihal; Toplu, Sibel Altunisik[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Treatment of post-acne erythema with 585 nm Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser in a patient receiving isotretinoin therapy(Wiley, 2022) Altunisik, Nihal; Turkmen, Dursun; Durmaz, Imge; Sener, Serpil[Abstract Not Available]
