The treatment of acute myocardial infarction due to the occlusion of the left main coronary disease

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to the occlusion of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is a rare but serious condition in the era of percutaneus coronary intervention (PCI). Even more rare is AMI involved with both LMCA and its branches like trifurcartion or bifurcation: this is challenging for interventional cardiologists, because it involves the extension of the myocardium complicated by cardiogenic shock and its technical difficulties. Trifurcating coronary artery disease is a complex atherosclerotic process involving the origin of one or more of three side branches arising from a left main coronary vessel or trunk, with or without the involvement of LMCA itself. There is no classification or standardized methodology to treat LMCA disease in elective percutaneous intervention procedures. Furthermore, acute myocardial infarction presenting with left main coronary artery trifurcation lesion seems to be more troublesome, especially in young patients. Few series of PCI on significant lesions of the left main trifurcations have been described. Herein, we describe a patient who successfully underwent PCI and was supported by post intravascular ultrasound sonography and multislice computed angiography (MSCA), and after an uneventful follow-up with MSCA is now on the ninth month.

The Importance of Sport in Aging Process

The goal of the current study is to investigate the effects of past and current participation in sport and exercise on physical fitness levels of the elderly.In the current study, the participants were 849 males over the age of 60 who do daily life activities independently and do not have any serious health problems. Participants in the study were divided into 4 groups; those who did sports in their youth and now; (YYOY), those who did sports in theır youth, but now don’t do it now; (YYON), those who didn’t do sports in their youth but now do; (YNOY), and those who have never done any sports; (YNON). A personal information form was used for determine their relationships with sport earlier in life and and now. The protocol of Senior Fitness Test (SFT) consisting of 6 different stations was used to determine of physical fitness levels of participants. The One Way Anova and LSD test was used to analyse variables of differences between groups according to participation in sport early in life and now and the threshold for significance level was 0.05.There was statistically significant differences between physical fitness parameters of the groups “those who did sports in their younth, but now don't" (YYON) and ““Those who didi sports in their youth and now" (YYOY), only. The groups of “those who did sports, but now don't" (YYON) and “have never done sports" (YNON) have the lowest physical fitness levels (p<0,05).Physıcal exercise in terms of sports and exercises have positive effects on physical fitness levels but if the sport is not a life style, physical fitness levels from the exercise will be lost over time. Starting from this point of view, the expression “It doesn't matter what you did yesterday, what you’re doing today matters" is extremely important in relation to exercise and sport

Effect of Boswellia serrata extract on Methotrexate induced testicular damage

This study aimed to determine the effect of Boswellia serrata extract on Methotrexate– induced testicular damage by evaluating antioxidant system, reproductive organ weights, some spermatological parametres and serum Testesterone levels. For this purpose, 40 Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups. 1. Control Group (n=10): No treatment was given for 10 days. 2. B. serrata Group (n=10): B. serrata was given by gavage at a dose of 500 mg·kg-1 for 10 days. 3. Methotrexate Group (n=10): Methotrexate was given intraperitoneally as a single dose of 20 mg·kg-1. 4. Methotrexate + B. serrata Group (n=10): After methotrexate was given intraperitoneally as a single dose of 20 mg·kg-1, 500 mg·kg-1 B. serrata was given by gavage for 10 days. It was determined that B. serrata significantly increased serum Testosterone levels (P0.05) and the increase in GSH–Px enzyme activity of testes (P>0.05) and final body weight (P>0.05) were not significant in Methotrexate + B. serrata group compared to the Methotrexate group. In conclusion, the negative effects of Methotrexate on the male reproductive system can be reduced by administering B. serrata extract

Enhanced platelet reactivity in pediatric depression: An observational study

Congress of the European-Society-of-Cardiology (ESC) -- AUG 31-SEP 04, 2013 -- Amsterdam, NETHERLANDSWOS: 000327744605337Depression is associated with poor prognosis for Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) including mortality. Among multiple mechanisms linking depression and CVD, changes in platelet reactivity are known to be one of the major confounders of such adverse association. However, there are very limited data in children. Thus, we evaluated some conventional hemostatic indices including whole blood platelet aggregation in patients with documented pediatric depression and compared these data with those obtained from healthy children. The pediatric patients fulfilled criteria for major depression with a minimum score of 19 on the 21-item Beck Depression Inventory Scale. Plasma fibrinogen, D-dimer, platelet count, mean platelet volume, and platelet aggregation induced by Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) and collagen were measured in 67 pediatric patients with depression and matched by age and sex with 78 healthy controlsEuropean Soc Cardio

Bilateral femoral neck fractures after an epileptic attack: A case report

WOS: 000397094300031PubMed ID: 25528038INTRODUCTION: Bilateral femoral neck fractures can occur due to high-or low-energy trauma, in the presence of various predisposing factors, such as osteoporosis, renal osteodystrophy, hypocalcemic seizures, primary or metastatic tumors, electroconvulsive therapy, epileptic seizures, and hormonal disorders. PRESENTATION OF CASE: This report presents a case of bilateral femoral neck fractures that occurred during an epileptic attack in a 24-year-old male with mental retardation. His complaints had started after a grand mal epileptic attack 10 days earlier. Bilateral displaced femoral neck fractures (Garden type 4) were seen in lateral radiographs of both hips. The patient was operated on urgently, with closed reduction, three stainless steel cannulated screws, and internal fixation applied to both hips. At postoperative week 12, solid joining was achieved and active walking with complete loading was started. DISCUSSION: Bilateral femoral neck fractures can occur following a grand mal epilepsy attack in young patients. The use of antiepileptic drugs can also lead to the development of pathological fractures by reducing bone mineral density. CONCLUSION: Femoral neck fractures should be suspected in patients with epilepsy who present with severe pain in both hips and an inability to walk. Stainless steel implants can be used for treatment. The viability of the femoral head should be evaluated by scintigraphy. Bone mineral density should be monitored in patients who use anti-epileptic drugs, and internal fixation is preferred in the treatment of femoral neck fractures

The Effect of Self-infusion and Patient Education on Treatment Compliance in Hemophilia Patients

Amaç: Hastaların belirlenen tedavi rejimlerine uyum sorunları hemofili tedavisinde güncel bir konudur. Bu sorunlar çok yaygın olarak bildirilmektedir. Biz de hemofili hastalarında selfinfüzyon ve hasta eğitiminin tedavi uyumu üzerine etkisini araştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Hemofili Federasyonu’nun 2019 yılındaki Gençlik Çalıştayı’na katılan Hemofili ve von Willebrand (vWH) hastalarına elektronik posta yoluyla Hemofili Federasyonu tarafından geliştirilen anket gönderildi. on beş gün içinde hastaların anketi yanıtlanması istendi ve anket verileri uygun istatistiksel yöntemlerle değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Yetmiş dört ağır hemofili A, 20 ağır hemofili B, 3 vWH tanılı toplam 97 hastaya anket uygulandı. Hastalar Türkiye’nin 6 farklı bölgesinden çalışmaya katılmıştı. Sekiz hasta orta öğrenimi tamamlayamamıştı. Altmışı orta öğrenimi tamamlamış veya devam etmekteydi, 29’u ise yüksek öğrenim mezunuydu. Altmış dört hasta tedaviye uyumlu, 33 hasta da tedaviye uyumsuzdu, tedaviye uyum oranı %66 idi. Hastaların eğitim durumu ve tedavi uyumu karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı ilişki saptanmadı (p=0,516). Tedaviye uyumlu hastaların yaş ortalaması 21,5, uyumsuz hastaların 20.6 olarak bulundu (p=0,015). Tedavi uyumu ile self-infüzyon uygulayabilme, self-infüzyonu öğrenme kaynağı ve internet kullanım süresi arasından istatistiksel anlamlı ilişki yoktu. Sonuç: Hemofili gibi kronik hastalıkların takip ve tedavisindeki başarı, hekimler ve diğer sağlık personelinin eğitiminin yanı sıra hasta ve hasta yakınlarının da eğitimi ile artmaktadır.Objective: Problematic compliance to treatment regimens is a current issue in the treatment of hemophilia. These problems have been widely reported. We aimed to investigate the effect of self-infusion and patient education on treatment compliance in hemophilia patients. Method: A questionnaire developed by Hemophilia Federation was sent to Hemophilia and von Willebrand (vWH) patients who participated in the Workshop of Hemophilia Federation in 2019. Within fifteen days, patients were asked to answer the questionnaires, and survey data were evaluated by appropriate statistical methods. Results: Patients with diagnosis of severe hemophilia A (n=74), severe hemophilia B (n=20) and vWH (n=3) were included in the survey study. Patients were participated from six different regions of Turkey. Eight patients could not complete secondary education. Sixty patients completed or continued their secondary education. 29 of them were graduated from a university. Sixty-four patients were complaint and 33 patients noncomplaint to the treatment. the treatment compliance rate was 66%. No significant relationship was found between the educational status and treatment compliance of the patients (p=0.516). the median ages of treatment-compliant, and noncompliant patients were 21.5, and 20.6 years, respectively (p=0.015). There was no statistically significant relationship between treatment compliance and selfinfusion, self-infusion learning source and longevity of internet usage. Conclusion: the success in the follow-up and treatment of chronic diseases such as hemophilia is enhanced by the training of the physicians and other health personnel, as well as the education level of patients and their relatives
