    Cerebrovascular radiological features of COVID-19 positive patients
    (Verduci Publisher, 2022) Petik, B.; Akcicek, M.; Sahin, M.; Dag, N.
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate acute cerebrovascular diseases (stroke and intracranial hemorrhage) by cranial radiologic examinations of patients infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and with neurological signs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between March 2020 and May 2021, patients who were admitted to the Emergency Department and had a positive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test and underwent Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) and/or Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI), and/or diffusion MRI due to neurological findings were included in the study. RESULTS: The study reviewed a total of 925 patients, including 404 (43.67%) female and 521 (56.32%) male patients. The distribution of imaging methods was as follows: 805 (71%) patients had cranial MDCT, 71 (6.35%) patients had MRI, and 241 (21.57%) patients had diffusion MRI. Of the total 925 patients, 128 (13.8%) patients were detected with cerebrovascular diseases, 92 (9.9%) patients were detected with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, 37 (4%) patients were detected with intraparenchymal hemorrhage, 10 (1.1%) patients were detected with subarachnoid hemorrhage, and four (0.43%) patients were detected with subdural hemorrhage. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of subdural, subarachnoid, parenchymal hemorrhage. and stroke in terms of gender. While there was a significant difference in stroke according to age, there was no statistically significant difference in subdural, subarachnoid, and parenchymal hemorrhagic. Three (0.32%) patients were diagnosed with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)'s-like demyelinating lesions. CONCLUSIONS: Cerebrovascular diseases, which may cause severe disability and even threaten the patient's life, should be kept in mind, especially in COVID-19 patients who present with neurological symptoms.

    Evaluation of the relationship between the presence of thymus gland and COVID-19 pneumonia in adult patients
    (Verduci Publisher, 2022) Petik, B.
    OBJECTIVE: There is a direct correlation between age and COVID-19 mortality. Some researchers have suggested that this may be related to the loss of volume and function of the thymus gland with age. We aimed at investigating the relationship between the presence of the thymus gland and the severity of coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) pneumonia in adult patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between May 2020 and May 2021, adult patients aged 20-60 years old who had been admitted to the emergency department and had a positive SARSCoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test were included in the retrospective study. RESULTS: The study reviewed a total of 465 patients, including 186 (40%) female, and 279 (60%) male patients. The mean age of patients was 40.46 +/- 12.18 years (range, 20-60). Pneumonia was detected in 281 (60.4%) of 465 patients. Of the total, 260 (55.9%) patients were detected with the thymus. Pneumonia was 3.85 times more common in patients without a thymus. The mean number of infected lung segments was 4.84 times higher in patients without a thymus. A negative correlation of -0.639 was found between the presence of the thymus and pneumonia. be a good preventative for pneumonia.
