Emphysematous pyelonephritis with left renal vein thrombosis-case report successfully treated by conservative methods

Presently emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare but life-threatening disease, mostly seen in patients with urinary tract obstr uc- tion and diabetes mellitus. It is characterized by the production of gas and necrosis in the renal parenchyma, collecting systems, and perinephritic tissue. Radiologically, the Huang and Tseng classification is used to categorize the severity of the disease. Our case was 49 years old female pre- senting with unconsciousness, fever and bilateral Grade 3 lower extremity eodema one week after left percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedure because of urinary tract stone. Abdominal computerized tomography scan showed renal parenchymal and perinephritic tissue necrosis with the production of gas and renal vein thrombosis which was in accordance with Huang and Tseng classification Grade 3A. We treated our patient with the appropriate antibiotic, enoxaparin sodium, strict glycemic control, and supportive treatment without any surgical intervention or nephrectomy

Verbascum bombyciferum Boiss. (Scrophulariaceae) as possible bio-indicator for the assessment of heavy metals in the environment of Bursa, Turkey

t In this study, we determined the heavy metal content (Cd2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+) in the soil surrounding the roots and different organs of Verbascum bombyciferum Boiss. (Scrophulariaceae), which is endemic to Uludag Mountain, Bursa, Turkey. Plant samples ˘ were collected from roadsides, and heavy metal accumulation capabilities were tested. This is one of the pioneer species of ruderal plant communities on roadsides, building sites, rubbish dumps, etc. Different organs of plant samples (roots, stems, leaves, and flowers) and their soils were analyzed by inductively couple plasma optical emission spectroscopy for their heavy metal contents. Some of the analyzed heavy metals (Cd2+, Cr3+, Pb2+, and Zn2+) were usually increased depending on the traffic in the sample sites, and this variation was also reflected in heavy metal content of plant samples. Our results show that H. Arslan (B) · G. Güleryüz Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Science, University of Uludag, Görükle 16059, Bursa, Turkey ˘ e-mail: [email protected] Z. Leblebici · A.

Prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Kocaeli: An Industrialised City in Turkey

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an important cause of mortality worldwide. Aims: The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in residents who were ≥40 years old and living in a heavily industrialised city of Turkey, Kocaeli, using the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease Initiative questionnaire. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: 1035 residents ≥40 years old and living in Kocaeli were surveyed. Spirometry and the basic BOLD questionnaire was performed. Results: 946 subjects entered into the analysis. The prevalence of stage I or higher COPD was 13.3% (8.7% for women and 16.5% for men), the prevalence of COPD at GOLD stage II or higher was 7.1% (4.1% for women and 9.2% for men). We also noted a high prevalence of COPD in never-smokers. Conclusion: Besides cigarette smoking, occupational exposure to fumes, chemicals and dusts might have also contributed to the high prevalence of COPD noted in residents who were ≥40 years old and living in Kocaeli, Turkey

Heavy metal content of asphodelus aestivus brot. from degraded areas in the mediterranean environment (Bursa, Turkey)

In this study, we determined the heavy metal content (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in the soils and different organs of Asphodelus aestivus Brot. (Walter). from degraded areas in the Mediterranean environment from Bursa, Turkey. The last degradation stage of ecosystems in the east Mediterranean Basin is dominated by this species. Soils and different organs (roots, stems, leaves and flowers) of plant samples were analyzed by ICP-OES for determining the heavy metal content. The heavy metal contents were not high in the soils of all samples sites. In general, the heavy metal contents of plant samples were not higher than the comparable levels reported in literature. But we determined the high cadmium, chromium, nickel and lead contents in plant samples compared to normal levels which reported in some studies. These results may reflect the possible Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb accumulation capacity of this species. However, the contribution of plant organs to accumulation capacity of this species was specific to metal. The possible capability of A. aestivus for accumulating the Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb may help to plant to become dominant on degraded areas in the Mediterranean environment
