Cerrahi - Abstract
Polianjitisle birlikte seyreden eozinofilik granülomatozis (Churg Strauss sendromu), nadir, sıklıkla solunum sistemini tutan ve özellikle küçük ve orta çaplı damarları etkileyen, astım ve doku eozinofilisi ile karakterize, sistemik nekrotizan bir vaskülittir. Lökotrien antagonistlerini de içeren pek çok ilacın bu hastalığın gelişiminde rolü olduğundan şüphelenilmektedir. Biz de klinik ve radyolojik bulgularla tanı alan ve lökotrien reseptör antagonistleri ile ilişkili olmadığını düşündüğümüz bir olguyu sunmak istedik., Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis characterized by tissue and blood eosinophilia. Several drugs including leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) are suspected to trigger EGPA development. Here, we present a case of EGPA unrelated to LTRAs.

Solunum Sistemi - 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 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.

Objective: As Turkish Respiratory Society Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases-Pulmonary Vascular Diseases Study Group (TRS DPLD-PVD SG), we aimed to demonstrate the approaches of physicians with a questionnaire toward the patients with IPF in our country.Methods: An invitation letter including a questionnaire with 24 questions to assess the approaches they prefer in the patients with IPF and the capabilities of the departments they work at and a link for the questionnaire was directed to the mail groups of chest diseases and thoracic surgery specialists. Responses of the physicians who participated in the questionnaire were reviewed.Results: Thirty percent of the participants saw less than 5 patients with IPF in a year and 16.8% of them saw more than 21. 66.3% of partici-pants stated that anamnesis, symptoms and clinical findings along with typical radiologic findings would be sufficient for the diagnosis, while 27.7% suggested that pathological findings should indicate IPF along with clinic and radiologic ones.When the methods used for tissue samp-ling were viewed; application rates of bronchoscopic transbronchial biopsy, thoracoscopic biopsy and open lung biopsy were found very close to one another.In the patients with the suspected disease of IPF, the fields in which the hesitation was the most problematic were respectively pathological examination of biopsies (73.2%) and interpretation of radiologic findings (49.5%). 37.6% of the patients with diagnosis of IPF were directed to experienced centers; medical treatment and drugless follow-up rates were respectively 33.6% and 14.8%.

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

- 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

Objective: We aimed to demonstrate the approaches of physicians with a questionnaire toward the patients with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in our country. Methods: An invitation letter including a questionnaire with 28 questions to assess the approaches they prefer in the patients with PTE and the capabilities of the departments they work at and a link for the questionnaire was directed to the mail groups of chest diseases specialists. Responses of the physicians who participated in the questionnaire were reviewed. Results: The examinations used to diagnose PTE such as D-dimer, troponin, echocardiographic Doppler ultrasonography and multidetector computed tomography (CT) have been performed in 94% of the institutions, ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy, MRI and pulmonary angiography examinations were performed in 50% of the instututions. While D-dimer test was performed in 73.2% of the institutions by quantitative ELISA; in 15.7% of them it was semiquantitative and in 11.6% of the instutitions it was performed by latex agglutination. 81% of physicians were seen to be using clinical probability scoring systems and most commonly used scoring method was seen to be Wells scoring with a rate of 90%. According to the simplified PESI score, 61.5% of the physicians reported to prefer outpatient treatment. In non-massive and submassive pulmonary thromboemboli patients, 86.2% of the physicians reported to prefer thr low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) treatment; vitamin K antagonist in maintenance treatment was also the most commonly resorted drug with a percentage of 84.9. Conclusion: The absence of the examinations used in the diagnosis and treatment of PTE in most institutions and difficulty to reach the available examinations at all hours of the day were significant facts. Especially; lack of access to high-sensitivity D-dimer test, bedside echocardiography used to assess right ventricular dysfunction, troponin and NT-proBNP makes us think about low adaptation to guidelines.

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels in patients with exudative lymphocytic pleurisy for the differential diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy (TBP) and malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Methods: Data on patients with exudative lymphocytic pleurisy were retrospectively analyzed. The study population comprised 54 patients. Thirty-seven were diagnosed with TBP and 17 were diagnosed with MPE. Results: Significant differences were determined in terms of age and ADA, total protein, albumin, and LDH levels between the TBP and MPE groups. The optimal cut-off value of ADA levels was 35.1 U/L for diagnosing TBP. Sensitivity and specificity were 92% and 100%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess independent variables associated with TBP. Independent predictive factors in the model were ADA (OR: 1.21, 95% Cl: 1.06-1.39, p=0.006)], and (OR: 0.92, 95% Cl: 0.84-1.00, p = 0.052)]. The AUC value by the regression equation was 0.979 (p<0.001). When patients were categorized according to age (<50 ve ≥50), two different cut-off values (>13.51 and >35.1) for each age range were found in all, but one, TBP patients. Conclusion: ADA levels are useful for the diagnosis of TBP in cases where pleural biopsy cannot be performed or that are inconclusive in making a diagnosis of TBP. In this group, reducing the conventional cut-off value and/or performing an age-based approach seems to improve the diagnostic performance of ADA levels. [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.

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]

- 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.
