    Assessment of relationship between contrast-induced nephropathy and left ventricular myocardial performance index in patients at risk for nephropath
    (2019) Ozturk, Mustafa; Turan, Oguzhan Ekrem; Sahin, Mursel; Kutlu, Merih
    Aim: Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated substantially with a risk of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the left ventricular myocardial performance assessed by ‘Tei index’ on the development of contrast induced nephropathy in patients underwent coronary angiography. Material and Methods: Study population consist of patients who underwent coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention and baseline creatinine level 1 mg/dl above and/or having diabetes mellitus. 51 patient were included the study. Patients divided into two groups as CIN developed or not. CIN was defined as %25 and/or 0.5 mg/dl increase in basal serum creatinine levels after 48-72 hours exposure to contrast media. Conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography was performed in all patients prior to angiography. Tei index was calculated from tissue Doppler echocardiography data. Results: Two groups were defined as CIN-developed group (n =13, 62.5 ± 6.8 ) and CIN-undeveloped (n=38, 62.4±9.6 )group. Except gender, there is no difference in demographic characteristics between the study groups. Left ventricular (LV) systolic function such as ejection fraction and tissue Doppler imaging Sm and basic LV diastolic function (E/A, Em/Am, DT) parameters were found to be similar in both groups. Tissue Doppler-derived Tei index values did not differ significantly between the two groups (0.42 ± 0.09 vs 0.46 ± 0.12, p = 0.25). Conclusion: The Tei index is inadequate for predicting the risk of developing nephropathy in patients at risk for contrast induced nephropathy with preserved ejection fraction.

    Evaluation of the relationship between coronary slow flow phenomenon and serum magnesium levels
    (2021) Ozturk, Mustafa; Turan, Oguzhan; Ceyhun, Gokhan; Aksakal, Emrah; Karaman, Kayihan; Gulcu, Oktay; Demirelli, Selami; Korkmaz, Ali Fuat
    Aim: Splint use is often recommended following wrist injection patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but there is not any data in the literature pertaining to the impact of splint treatment, used before injection, on the results of local injection treatment. The aim of this study to evaluate whether or not splint use starting before the injection would impact the local injection treatment outcomes.Materials and methods: Fifty seven patients (57 hands) with CTS and underwent ultrasound-guided injection were included in the study, and patients were divided into two groups in terms of splint use. Median nerve cross-sectional area (MNCSA), pain/numbness by visual analogue scale (VAS), symptoms and functionality by Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) were investigated before injection and 15 days after injection.Results: There was significant change over time in MNCSA, VAS, and BTCQ scores in groups. The patients not using splint group had significantly higher percentage change in VAS nighttime score.Conclusion: Our findings has shown that using neutral wrist splint, starting before and continuing after injection treatment, did not increase the injection treatment efficacy and may actually have negative effect on improvement in VAS nighttime scores.

    Production and Trade of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in the World and Turkey
    (Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2018) Temel, Mukremin; Tinmaz, A. Bircan; Ozturk, Mustafa; Gunduz, Orhan
    In this study, it was aimed to give information about production, foreign trade and changes of medicinal and aromatic plants in Turkey from 2000 to the present. Research data was obtained from FAO and ITC records by screening, filtering and grouping and was subjected to descriptive statistics. According to the findings, a total of 36 million hectares of medicinal and aromatic plants are cultivated and coffee, cocoa, tea and red pepper were at the top of the list. Cocoa, tea and mint production areas increased about 50% by 2016. On the other hand, decreases have been observed in the production areas of carob, buckwheat, hemp and hops. Dozens of medicinal and aromatic plants were sujected to the Foreign trade. While the size of world medicinal and aromatic plants trade was 50 billion dollars in 2000, it increased to 180 billion dollars in 2016. Coffee, cocoa and tea are at the top of the trade. While Brazil is the most important coffee exporter, the USA is the most important importer. In the export of essential oils, China is in the first place, while the USA is the first in importation. Trade volume increased by 300% mostly in coffee, tea and mate groups. Turkey is ranked in the middle in world trade. In the study, all medicinal and aromatic plants were examined for secondary benefits. According to findings, about 20 million medicinal and aromatic plants are cultivated in about 1.3 million decares of land. From 2000 to 2015, production areas increased by about 40%. Foreign trade of medicinal and aromatic plants were realized in 2015 with export of 280 million dollars and import of 254 million dollars. Thyme is in the first place with 25% share in exports. Coffee constitutes 61% of the import. The most important essential oils in export were rose, thyme, stearopten and orange. Import essential essential oils were mint, orange, lemon, other citrus fruits, lavender. As a result, the production of medicinal and aromatic plants in the world is increasing but the trade is increasing even faster.
