Genel ve Dahili Tıp - Abstract
Amaç: Obstrüktif uyku apne sendromunda (OUAS) tekrarlayıcı solunum durmaları sonucu gelişen hipoksi-reoksijenizasyon peryodları sonucu artan sempatik aktivite artışı çeşitli kardiyovasküler ve metabolik değişikliklere neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada OUAS'ın vitamin D ve parathormon (PTH) üzerine etkisini incelemeyi amaçladık. Yöntemler: Çalışmaya polisomnografi ile yeni tanı alan 103 erkek, OUAS grubu olarak ve yaş, cinsiyet, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) açısından eşleşen ve apnesi olmayan 58 erkek, kontrol grubuna dahil edildi. Serum kalsiyum, fosfor, vitamin D ve PTH düzeyleri ölçüldü. Bulgular: Yaş, VKİ, sigara kullanımı, hipertansiyon ve hiperlipidemi açı- sından OUAS ve kontrol gurubu arasında anlamlı fark saptanmadı. Vitamin D düzeyleri OUAS gurubunda kontrol gurubuna kıyasla anlamlı olarak daha düşük iken (sırasıyla 22,4±7,5 ng/mL, 31±7,9 ng/mL, p, Introduction: An increase in sympathetic activity caused by intermittent hypoxia and reoxygenation that develops an obstruction of the upper respiratory tract in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) results in cardiovascular and metabolic changes. This study aimed to assess the effects of OSAS on serum vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Methods: The study population comprised 103 male patients with newly diagnosed OSAS and 58 male non-apnoeic controls matched for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Serum calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and PTH levels were measured. Results: There were no significant differences between patients with OSAS and the controls in terms of age, sex, BMI, smoking status, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Serum vitamin D levels were significantly lower in the OSAS group than in the control group (22.4±7.5 ng/mL vs. 31±7.9 ng/mL, respectively; p

Kömür tozu,nodül,pnömokonyoz ,Coal dust,nodule,pneumoconiosis - Abstract
Komplike kömür işçisi pnömokonyozu (KİP) akciğer dokusunda 1 cm veya daha büyük pnömokonyoza bağlı nodüllerin varlığı olarak tanımlanır ve basit pnömokonyoz zemininde gelişir. Minör opasite olmaksızın komplike KİP ortaya çıkması beklenen bir durum değildir. Biz de minör opasite olmaksızın tek nodülle ortaya çıkan ve nodülün karakteristik özellikleri açısından öncelikle pnömokonyoz dışı nedenlere bağlı pulmoner nodülü akla getiren ilginç bir komplike KİP olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık. Altmış beş yaşında erkek hastanın 25 yıl kömür madeninde çalıştığı ve daha sonra emekli olduğu öğrenildi. Akciğer grafisinde belirgin bir patoloji tespit edilmedi. Hastanın toraks tomografis'nde sol akciğer alt lob laterobazal segmentte 16 mm çaplı subplevral nodül görüldü. Bronkoskopide bronş mukozasında bir kaç adet antrakotik pigmentasyon görüldü. Hastaya tanı ve tedavi açısından videotorakoskopi yardımlı akciğer cerrahisi ile birlikte wedge rezeksiyon yapıldı. Akciğer wedge rezeksiyon materyalinin patololojik incelemesinde ardışık bant tarzında dizilim gösteren karbon pigment birikimlerinin yer aldığı iyi sınırlı nekrobiyotik nodül tespit edildi ve hastaya KİP tanısı koyuldu. Takip altına alınan hastanın en son çekilen tomografisinde (cerrahiden 1 buçuk yıl sonra) yeni bir lezyon veya progresyon tespit edilmedi. Sonuç olarak komplike KİP'in beklenmedik yerlerde ve beklenmedik radyolojik görünümlerde ortaya çıkabileceği unutulmamalı, soliter pulmoner nodülleri olan hastalarda mutlaka meslek öyküsü sorgulanmalı ve invazif girişimlere karar vermeden önce hasta bu açıdan da değerlendirilmelidir., Complicated coal worker's pneumoconiosis (CWP) was defined the nodules that equal or greater than 1cm diameter due to pneumoconiosis. Complicated CWP was developed on the basis of simple pneumoconiosis. Complicated CWP without minor opacity was seen very rarely. We aimed to introduce an interesting case of complicated CWP without minor opacity that suggest the nonpneumoconiosis diseases. Sixty five age years old patient was retired from coal mine. There was no pathological view on chest x-ray. In computed thorax tomography there was 16mm diameter of pulmonary nodule in laterobasal segment of lower lobe of left lung. A few anthracotic pigmentation on bronchus mucosa were determined in bronchoscopy. Videoassociated thoracoscopic surgery was performed. Carbon pigmentation was seen in the surgical material of pulmonary nodule. The patient was followed up for 1.5 years. At the end of the follow up period there were no pathological view in control computed thorax tomography. In conclusion complicated CWP may have seen in varied radiological view and different areas of the lung. In the patients with solitare pulmonary nodule occupational history should be questioned attentively and before the invazive interventions the patients should be evaluted in this respect.

Giriş: Günümüzde Kronik Obstrüktif Akciğer Hastalığı (KOAH), tüm dünya ülkelerinde önemli bir sağlık sorunu haline gelmiştir. Diğer hastalıkların mortalite oranlarının yıllar içinde düşmesine karşılık KOAH prevalansı ve mortalitesi giderek artış göstermektedir. Bu çalışma Batı Karadeniz Bölgesinde yapılan ilk spirometrik ve kesitsel KOAH prevelans çalışmasıdır. Bu araştırmada Zonguldak il merkezinde KOAH prevelansını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metod: Zonguldak il merkezinde yaşayan 18 yaş ve üzeri 71.630 kişi çalışmanın hedef popülasyonu olarak kabul edildi. Hedef popülasyondan 611 kişiye, mahalle ve sokak temelinde küme ve sistematik örnekleme yöntemleri birlikte kullanılarak ulaşıldı. Araştırmaya katılan bireylere yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle anket formu dolduruldu ve solunum fonksiyon testi ile birlikte erken reversibilite testi yapıldı. Sonuçlar Global Obstrucive Lung Disease (GOLD) kriterlerine göre değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin %42.6’sı erkek idi. Yaş ortalaması 49.20 ± 15.4 bulundu. Kırk yaş ve üstü birey sayısı 447 (%73.1) idi. KOAH prevalansı çalışma grubunda %11.1, 40 yaş ve üstü bireylerde ise %14.1 olarak saptandı. Kırk yaş ve üstü erkeklerde KOAH prevelansı %19.3, kadınlarda ise %9.8 idi. KOAH saptanan hastaların yaş ortalaması (60.06 ± 13.2) KOAH saptanmayan bireylerin yaş ortalamasından (47.8 ± 15.1) fazlaydı (p< 0.001). Yaş kategorileri arttıkça KOAH prevelansının da arttığı tespit edildi. GOLD spirometrik sınıflandırmasına göre KOAH’lı hastaların %23.5’i Evre 1’de, %58.8’i Evre 2’de %16.2’si Evre 3’de ve %1.5’i Evre 4’te tespit edildi. Sigara içme öyküsü erkek KOAH’lı hastaların %95.3’ünde, kadın KOAH’lı hastaların ise %56’sında mevcut idi. KOAH’lı hastalarda en sık görülen risk faktörleri sırasıyla sigara (%80.9), biomass maruziyeti (%63.2), mesleksel maruziyet (%41.2) ve pasif sigara içiciliği idi. Sigara ve mesleksel maruziyet hem çalışma grubunda hem de KOAH’lı hastalarda erkeklerde daha sık görülmekteydi. Sonuç: KOAH Zonguldak il merkezinde çok belirgindir ve önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur., Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is increasingly recognized as a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. This study is the first spirometry-based, cross-sectional survey of COPD from Western Black Sea Region of Turkey. In this study we aimed to investigate COPD prevalence in Zonguldak province of Turkey. Materials and Methods: Adult population of 71.630 persons living in central Zonguldak were enrolled to the study. They were selected by random sampling methods based on regional inhabitant listings. 611 adult persons were finally enrolled to the study. They were interviewed face to face, and were given a questionnaire. Spirometry and early reversibility testing were also performed. Results were evaluated according to Global Obstrucive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria. Results: 42.6% of the study population were males. Mean age was 49.2 ± 15.4. The number of inividuals 40 years and older was 447 (73.1%). COPD prevalence was found as 11.1% in the study population and 14.1% in the population 40 years and older. COPD prevalence in males and females 40 years and older were 19.6% and 9.8% respectively. Mean age of the COPD patients (60.06 ± 13.2 years) was higher than the subjects without COPD (47.8 ± 15.1) (p< 0.001). COPD prevalence was increasing with age categories. COPD severity based on GOLD criteria were as follows: Stage 1 (23.5%), Stage 2 (58.8%), Stage 3 (16.2%) and Stage 4 (1.5%). Prevalence of smoking history was 95.3% in male COPD patients, and 56% in female COPD patients. Smoking was the most common risk factor present in 80.9% of COPD cases, followed by biomass exposure (63.2%), occupational exposure (41.2%) and passive smoking (7.3%). Smoking history and occupational exposure were higher statistically in males than females in both study populatian and COPD cases. Conclusion: COPD is prevalent and an important public health problem in central Zonguldak province.

Solunum Sistemi - Abstract
Amaç: Uyku bozuklukları kişinin üretkenliğini ve performansını olumsuz yönde etkileyerek yaşam kalitesinin azalmasına neden olan önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Uyku düzeninin bozulduğu vardiyalı çalışan kişilerde uyku bozukluklarının görülme sıklığı çok belirgindir. Çoğu vardiyalı çalışan sağlık çalışanlarında obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu (OUAS) ile ilgili yeterli veri yoktur ve bu çalışma sağlık çalışanlarında tüm gece polisomnografi (PSG) testi ile yapılan ülkemizdeki ilk çalış- madır. Çalışmamızda hastanemizde görevli hemşire ve asistan doktorlarda horlama ve OUAS sıklığını araştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntemler: Hastanemizde görevli olan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden tüm hemşire ve asistan doktorlara yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle anket uygulandı. Horlama şikayetine, tanıklı apne ve/veya gündüz aşırı uykululuk hali (GAUH) eşlik eden kişilere tüm gece PSG tetkiki önerildi. Polisomnografi yapılan olgularda OUAS sıklığı ve OUAS saptanan ve saptanmayan olgularda nöbet tutma oranları karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 257 kişi katıldı. Katılımcıların %63'ünü hemşireler, %37'sini ise asistan doktorlar oluşturuyordu. Olguların %34,2'si erkek idi. Olguların yaş ortalaması 28,8±3,7 (19-39 yıl), vücut kitle indeksi ortalaması 24,03±3,85 kg/m2 idi. Çalışmaya katılanlarda aylık tutulan gece nöbet ortalaması 7,6±3,8 gün idi. Olguların %28,8'inde (n=74) horlama, %2,7'sinde (n=7) tanıklı apne, %7,8'inde (n=20) GAUH (Epworth uykululuk skalası >=11) tespit edildi. PSG önerilen 20 kişiden 4'ü (%1.6) PSG çalışmasını reddetti. 16 olguya (%6.2) PSG yapıldı. PSG sonuçlarına göre, OUAS prevalansının sağlık çalışanlarında %4,7, vardiyalı çalışan sağlık personelinde ise %5,1 olduğunu bulduk. OUAS tespit edilenlerin %91,7'si (11/12) nöbet tutmaktayken, OUAS tespit edilmeyenlerin %83,3'ü (204/245) nöbet tutmaktaydı (p=0,697). OUAS saptananların hepsi erkek iken, OUAS saptanmayanların %31'i erkek idi (p, Objective: Sleep disorders are important public health issues that decrease the individuals' quality of life by affecting their productivity and performance in a negative way. The frequency of sleep disorders among people who work shifts with irregular sleep patterns is apparent. For healthcare providers, most of whom work shifts, the available data related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are insufficient. Also, this is the first study that has been conducted using an all-night polysomnography (PSG) for health staff in our country. In our study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of snoring and OSAS among the nurses and resident doctors working at our hospital.Methods: Face-to-face interviews were performed with all nurses and resident doctors who worked at our hospital and agreed to participate in our study. All-night PSG examination was recommended to participants with concurrent witnessed apnea and/or excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) with snoring. The frequency of OSAS was evaluated in cases exposed to polysomnography, and those with and without OSAS were compared in terms of shift rates. Results: The study included 257 participants. Of these, 63% were nurses and 37% were resident doctors; overall, 34.2% of the cases were male. The mean age was 28.8±3.7 years and the mean body mass index was 24.03±3.85 kg/m2. Among the participants, the mean number of monthly night shifts was 7.6±3.8. Also, 28.8% of the participants (n=74) experienced snoring, 2.7% (n=7) had witnessed apnea, and 7.8% (n=20) had EDS (Epworth sleepiness scale>=11). Four (1.6%) of the 20 participants who were proposed to undergo PSG refused this examination. Sixteen cases were exposed to PSG (6.2%). According to the PSG results, the prevalence of OSAS was 4.7% among all healthcare providers and 5.1% among the health staff working shifts. Of the cases with OSAS, 91.7% (11/12) were working shifts while 83.3% (204/245) of those without OSAS were working shifts (p=0.697). All of the cases diagnosed with OSAS were male, but 31% of the cases without OSAS were male (p

Cerrahi - Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı obstrüktif uyku apne sendromu (OUAS) olan hastalarda insülin rezistansı ve serum leptin seviyelerini incelemek ve OUAS olan hastaların vücut kitle indeksini (VCİ) kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırmaktır. Metod: Apne hipopne indeksi (AHİ)?5 olan 28 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Sağlıklı 32 birey kontrol grubu olarak kullanıldı. Çalışmaya katılan bireylerden glukoz, insülin ve leptin seviyelerini ölçmek için açlık durumunda venöz kan elde edildi. İnsülin rezistans indeksinde, hemostaz modeli analiz methodu (HOMA-IR) temel alındı. Bulgular: OUAS grubu ile kontrol grubu arasında serum leptin seviyeleri (kontrol grubu, 32.88 ± 24.22 ng/ml, OUAS grubu, 24.93 ± 25.84 ng/ml) ve HOMA-IR (kontrol grubu, 3.01 ± 1.81, OUAS grubu, 2.58 ± 1.21) açısından anlamlı bir fark yoktu. OUAS olan hastalarda insülin rezistansı ve plazma leptin konsantrasyonları AHİ’den bağımsızdı ve kontrol grubundan farklı değildi. Sonuç: İnsülin rezistansı ve plazma leptin konsantrasyonları sıklıkla VKİ ve obesitenin derecesiyle ilişkili olduğunu düşünüyoruz. Bu parametreler OUAS olan hastalarda AHİ ile ilişkili olmadığı gözükmektedr., Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the insulin resistance and serum leptin levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and to compare body mass indexes (BMI) of OSAS patients with matched controls without OSAS. Method: Twenty eight patients having apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)≥5 included in the study. Thirty two healthy subjects assumed as a control group. Venous blood was obtained in the fasting state for the measurement of glucose, insulin and leptin levels. Insulin resistance index was based on the homeostasis model assesment method (HOMA-IR). Result: There was no significant difference in the serum leptin levels (control group, 32.88±24.22 ng/ml, OSAS group, 24.93±25.84 ng/ml) and HOMA-IR (control group, 3.01±1.81, OSAS group, 2.58±1.21) between control group and OSAS patients. Insulin resistance and circulating plasma leptin concentrations in OSAS patients were independent of the AHI and were not different from the control group. Conclusion: We concluded that insulin resistance and plasma leptin concentrations are mostly associated with the degree of obesity and BMI. Those parameters seem not to be related with the AHI in OSAS patients.

- Abstract
Introduction: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) are important prognostic indicators for cardiovascular disease. However, data on the relationship between renal dysfunction (RD) and prognosis in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) are limited. The estimated-GFR (eGFR), based on the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation, has been suggested as a possible prognostic marker in patients with APE; however, at present, the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation is thought to be more accurate than the MDRD equation for the estimation of RD. Objective: We investigated whether eGFR
CKD-EPI or BUN could predict adverse outcomes (AOs) better than eGFRMDRD in normotensive patients with APE. Methods: Ninety-nine normotensive patients with APE (aged 22-96, 56% male) were enrolled in the study retrospectively. Adverse outcomes were defined as the occurrence of any of the following: death, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, use of vasopressors, thrombolysis, or mechanical ventilation. Results: In univariate analyses, age, gender (male), heart rate (>110 bpm), serum creatinine, BUN, cardiac troponin (cTn) positivity, right ventricle-left ventricle ratio, eGFRMDRD , and eGFRCKD-EPI were found to be significantly different between those with and without AOs. Comparing area under the curves for AO, we found statistically significant differences between eGFRCKD-EPI and eGFRMDRD (P = .01) but not between BUN and eGFRCKD-EPI or BUN and eGFRMDRD . Furthermore, 30-day mortality was 36% versus 11% in cTn-positive patients with an eGFRCKD-EPI < and ≤ 60 mL/min, respectively. Conclusion: There is a close relationship between RD and APE prognosis. We conclude eGFRCKD-EPI is a potential prognostic marker for risk stratification in normotensive patients with APE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Sigara İçme ,Hastane Personeli ,Hekim - Abstract
Bu çalışma Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi çalışanlarında sigara içme prevelansını ve sigaraya karşı tutumlarını saptamak amacıyla planlanmıştır. Çalışmaya Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi’nde çalışan toplam 590 personelden ulaşılabilen 453 kişi (%76.8) katılmıştır. Bu kişilere yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile 58 sorudan oluşan anket uygulanmıştır. Ankete katılanların yaş ortalaması 28.2 ± 3.8 olup bunların %48.6’sı kadın ve %51.4’ü erkektir. Olguların %41.3’ü sigara içicisi, %6.3’ü sigarayı içmiş bırakmış ve %52.4’ünün ise hiç sigara içmediği saptanmıştır. Erkeklerde sigara içim oranı %47.6, kadınlarda ise %25.7’dir. Çalışanlar içinde en az sigaranın memurlarda içildiği (%31.7) en fazla içimin ise işçilerde (%62.9) olduğu gö- rülmüştür. Hekimlerde sigara içim oranı %45.2 olarak bulunmuştur. Hastane çalışanlarında erkek ve bayanların tamamı göz önüne alındığında her iki grupta da sigara içim oranı işçilerde yüksektir (%78.4 erkek; %42.1 kadın). Sigara içen çalışanlar sigara bağımlılığı açısından ele alındı- ğında ağır bağımlılık düzeyi en yüksek yine işçi grubunda saptanmıştır ve bu durum istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p

It has been shown that Long Term Oxygen Therapy (LTOT) improves polycythemia secondary to hypoxemia and right heart failure, decreases pulmonary hypertension, improves quality of life and increases life expectancy in COPD patients. In our study we aimed to evaluate clinical data, mortality, patient's adherence and efficiency of the therapy in COPD patients receiving LTOT. Mean age was 70.5%±9.7 and 57% of the participiants were male. It was shown that one year hospital admission count after LTOT (0.56±0.79) was decreased according to one year hospital admission count before LTOT (1.14±1.64). When arterial blood gas values after LTOT compared to the values at the time prescription PaO2 was increased (47.9±4, 53.4±9) and PaCO2 was decreased (56.1±11, 50.5±11). Although there was no significant difference in pulmonary artery pressure after LTOT, a significant increase was determined in hematocrit (38.37±6, 40.14±6). 41.1% of the patients had at least once device maintanence, and after LTOT only 38.4% had a clinical control due to COPD. The most common reason for irregular use was lack of necessity. Mean daily oxygen usage was 13.88±4.35 hours/day and 68.8% of the patients were using 15 hours or more. Mean follow-up of the patients were 17.85±14.53 (1-55) months and mortality rate in this period was 67%. Mortality was higher in LTOT with 15hours/day or more compared to less than 15 hours (respectively 54.6%, 12.5%). In conclusion, all patients with an indication for LTOT should be followed by national registry system and monitored in terms of technical services. Patients adherence and routine controls should be provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

OBJECTIVES: Domiciliary non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) is presumed to decrease hospital admissions and mortality in very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. This study was aimed to investigate the clinical data and mortality among COPD patients receiving domiciliary NIMV treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 40 COPD patients who were prescribed domiciliary NIMV at discharge between January 2010 and December 2011 were contacted by phone regarding their current health status, and the electronic patient charts of 34 patients who used NIMV regularly were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 67±15 years and 59% of them were females. The mean length of hospital stay was 14.5±6.82 days. Rate of admission to intensive care unit and use of invasive mechanical ventilation was 56% and 27%, respectively. The median follow up duration was 17 months. The 6-months, 1-year, 2-years and overall mortality rates were 24%, 38%, 50% and 56%, respectively. For patients surviving at least one year after domiciliary NIMV initiation (n=21), the mean number of hospitalizations in the year before-and after-NIMV initiation were 1.38±1.28 and 0.57±0.93 (p=0.003), respectively. Mean daily NIMV use was 8.91±4.46 hours. Mean daily NIMV use of the patients with a lifespan ≤2 years was higher than that of the patients with a lifespan >2 years (11.82±4.02 hours/day versus 6.0±2.62 hours/day, respectively) (p<0.001). Long term oxygen was prescribed for the first time to 62% of the patients using NIMV. CONCLUSION: Domiciliary NIMV may have numerous beneficial effects such as decreasing hospital admissions for acute COPD exacerbations and related costs. It is very important in the battle against COPD, a disease with significant morbidity, mortality and economic burden. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Sleep disorders are important public health issues that decrease the individuals' quality of life by affecting their productivity and performance in a negative way. The frequency of sleep disorders among people who work shifts with irregular sleep patterns is apparent. For healthcare providers, most of whom work shifts, the available data related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are insufficient. Also, this is the first study that has been conducted using an all-night polysomnography (PSG) for health staff in our country. In our study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of snoring and OSAS among the nurses and resident doctors working at our hospital. Methods: Face-to-face interviews were performed with all nurses and resident doctors who worked at our hospital and agreed to participate in our study. All-night PSG examination was recommended to participants with concurrent witnessed apnea and/or excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) with snoring. The frequency of OSAS was evaluated in cases exposed to polysomnography, and those with and without OSAS were compared in terms of shift rates. Results: The study included 257 participants. Of these, 63% were nurses and 37% were resident doctors; overall, 34.2% of the cases were male. The mean age was 28.8±3.7 (19-39) years and the mean body mass index was 24.03±3.85 kg/m2. Among the participants, the mean number of monthly night shifts was 7.6±3.8. Also, 28.8% of the participants (n=74) experienced snoring, 2.7% (n=7) had witnessed apnea, and 7.8% (n=20) had EDS (Epworth sleepiness scale=11). Four (1.6%) of the 20 participants who were proposed to undergo PSG refused this examination. Sixteen cases were exposed to PSG (6.2%). According to the PSG results, the prevalence of OSAS was 4.7% among all healthcare providers and 5.1% among the health staff working shifts. Of the cases with OSAS, 91.7% (11/12) were working shifts while 83.3% (204/245) of those without OSAS were working shifts (p=0.697). All of the cases diagnosed with OSAS were male, but 31% of the cases without OSAS were male (p<0.001). Conclusion: For those healthcare providers who are engaged in duties requiring significant amounts of attention and concentration, the symptoms related to sleep disorders should be questioned and diagnostic evaluation and treatment should be performed for suspected cases.

Objective: Unlike seasonal influenza, seen in previous years, the strain identified in the 2009 influenza-A pandemic involved high mortality. In this study, prognostic factors and general characteristics of pneumonia cases developed in Turkey during the H
1 N1 , pandemic between October 2009 and January 2010 were analyzed. Study Design: Multicenter retrospective study. Material and Methods: This multicentric retrospective study was conducted between August and October 2010 and patients' data were collected by means of standard forms. Results: The study included 264 pneumonia cases, collected from 14 different centers. Mean age was 47.5±18.6 years. Nineteen patients (7.2%) were pregnant or had a new birth and comorbid diseases were detected in 52.3% of all patients. On admission, 35 (13.8%) cases had altered mental status. Overall, 32.6% were treated in intensive care units (ICU) and invasive/non-invasive mechanical ventilation was performed in 29.7%. The mean duration of ICU stay was 2.9±6.2 and total hospital stay was 12.0±9.4 days. Mortality rate was 16.8% (43-cases). The length of ICU treatment, total hospital stay, and mortality were significantly higher in H1N1 -confirmed patients. Mortality was significantly higher in patients with dyspnea, cyanosis, and those who had altered mental status on admission. Patients who died had significantly higher rate of peripheral blood neutrophils, lower platelet counts, higher BUN, and lower SaO2 levels. Conclusion: This study showed that pneumonia developed during H,N, pandemic in our country had resulted in a high mortality. Mortality was especially high among patients with cyanosis, altered mental state and those with lower SaO2 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

KOAH'lı hastalarda uzun süreli oksijen tedavisi (USOT) hipoksemiye sekonder polisitemiyi ve sağ kalp yetmezliğini düzelttiği, pulmoner hipertansiyonu düşürdüğü, yaşam kalitesini ve yaşam süresini uzattığı gösterilmiştir. Çalışmamızda oksijen konsantratörü ile USOT alan KOAH'lı hastaların klinik verilerin ve mortaliteyi değerlendirmeyi ve bu hastalarda tedavi uyumunu ve USOT'un KOAH'lı hastalar üzerindeki tedavi yararlılığını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Temmuz 2008- Haziran 2012 tarihleri arasında göğüs hastalıkları kliniğinde takip edilen oksijen konsantratörü ile taburcu edilen KOAH'lı hastalar çalışmaya alındı. Oksijen konsantratörü verilen hastalar göğüs hastalıkları heyet arşivi taranarak tespit edildi. Tespit edilen hastaların yatış esnasındaki klinik verileri hastane otomasyon sistemi kullanılarak kaydedildi ve sonra telefonla aranarak hastalar kontrole çağrıldı. Hasta öldüyse yakınlarından ölüm tarihi öğrenildi ve cihaz kullanım özellikleri sorgulandı. Çalışmaya 169 hasta alındı. Çalışmaya alınan hastalardan %66,3'üne ulaşıldı. Ulaşılan hastalardan 75'i öldüğü için 6'sı da kontrole gelmediği için kontrol tetkikleri istenmedi. Çalışmaya alınan hastaların yaş ortalaması %71±10 olup %58'i (n=98) erkek idi. USOT sonrası bir yıllık hastane yatış sayısının (0,56±0,79), USOT öncesi bir yıllık hastane yatış sayısına (1,14±1,64) göre azaldığı bulundu (p=0,001). USOT sonrası kan gazlarının, oksijen konsantratörü verildiği dönemdeki kan gazlarıyla kıyaslandığında PaO2'nin (47,9±4, 53,4±9, p=0,003) arttığı, PaCO2'nin (56,1±11, 50,5±11, p=0,006) azaldığı tespit edildi. USOT sonrası pulmoner arter basıncı ve hemoglobinde belirgin bir değişiklik olmazken hemotokrit'de (38,37±6, 40,14±6, p=0,049) artış tespit edildi. Çalışmaya katılan hastaların %41,1'i (n=46) oksijen konsantratörüne en az bir kere bakım yaptırdığı ve USOT sonrası hastaların sadece %38,4'ü (n=43) KOAH nedeniyle en az bir kere poliklinik kontrolüne geldiği tespit edildi. En sık düzensiz USOT kullanma nedeni ise ihtiyaç duymama idi. Çalışmaya alınan hastaların günlük USOT kullanım süresi 13,88±4,35 saat/gün olup, hastaların %68,8'i (n=77) oksijeni günlük ortalama 15 saat ve üzeri kullanıyordu. Çalışmaya alınan hastaların takip süresi 17,85±14,53 (1-55) ay olup takip süresi içinde mortalite oranı %67 (n=75) idi. USOT'ni 15 saat/gün ve üzeri kullanan hastaların mortalitesi kullanmayanlara göre daha yüksekti (%54,6, %12,5, p

- Abstract
Background: Bronchoalveolar lavage is considered a helpful tool in the diagnosis of diffuse parenchimal lung diseases such as sarcoidosis. CD4/CD8 ratio is higly specific but not sensitive to distinguish sarcoidosis and other intestitial lung diseases. We aimed to compare the diagnostic value of CD4/CD8 ratio and other lmphocyte subpopulations such as CD3+16+56, CD103+, CD4+CD103+, CD8+CD103+ in bronchoalveolar lavage to distinguish sarcoidosis and other nonsarcoidosis interstitial lung diseases., Methods: Using the bronchoscopy records from 2006 to 2013, we evaluated 68 patients with biopsy proven sarcoidosis and 72 patients with clinicoradiological and/or biopsy proven diffuse parenchimal lung diseases. Cut off values, sensitivity and specificity were given for aforementioned parameters., Results: Bronchoalveolar lavage CD4/CD8 ratio, CD4+ T lymphocyte percentage, CD4+103+, CD3+CD103-, CD8+CD103+/CD103+ ratio were significantly higher in sarcoidosis than other diffuse parenchimal lung diseases whereas CD3+103+, CD3+16+56+, CD8+, CD8+CD103+, CD8+CD103+/CD8+ were significantly lower. Best cut off value of CD4/CD8 was 1.34 with sensitivity and specificity 76.4%, 79.4% respectively. The cut off values of CD4/CD8 of >3.5 and >2.5 had specificity 95.9% and 95.3%, respectively and sensitivity 52%, 41%, respectively., Conclusion: CD4/CD8 ratio is highly specific but not sensitive for sarcoidosis diagnosis. Thus, BAL flow cytometry is not diagnostic alone without appropriate clinicoradiological and/or histopathological findings.

- Abstract
Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is increasingly recognized as a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. This study is the first spirometry-based, cross-sectional survey of COPD from Western Black Sea Region of Turkey. In this study we aimed to investigate COPD prevalence in Zonguldak province of Turkey., Materials and Methods: Adult population of 71.630 persons living in central Zonguldak were enrolled to the study. They were selected by random sampling methods based on regional inhabitant listings. 611 adult persons were finally enrolled to the study. They were interviewed face to face, and were given a questionnaire. Spirometry and early reversibility testing were also performed. Results were evaluated according to Global Obstrucive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria., Results: 42.6% of the study population were males. Mean age was 49.2 ± 15.4. The number of inividuals 40 years and older was 447 (73.1%). COPD prevalence was found as 11.1% in the study population and 14.1% in the population 40 years and older. COPD prevalence in males and females 40 years and older were 19.6% and 9.8% respectively. Mean age of the COPD patients (60.06 ± 13.2 years) was higher than the subjects without COPD (47.8 ± 15.1) (p< 0.001). COPD prevalence was increasing with age categories. COPD severity based on GOLD criteria were as follows: Stage 1 (23.5%), Stage 2 (58.8%), Stage 3 (16.2%) and Stage 4 (1.5%). Prevalence of smoking history was 95.3% in male COPD patients, and 56% in female COPD patients. Smoking was the most common risk factor present in 80.9% of COPD cases, followed by biomass exposure (63.2%), occupational exposure (41.2%) and passive smoking (7.3%). Smoking history and occupational exposure were higher statistically in males than females in both study populatian and COPD cases., Conclusion: COPD is prevalent and an important public health problem in central Zonguldak province.
