Ritter Syndrome Mimicking Drug Eruption

Ritter syndrome mimicking drug eruption staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome is a rare fatal condition in adults with erythematous and bullous lesions. With appropriate and immediate therapy, mortality decreases by 5%; a differential diagnosis is necessary. In this case, we report Ritter syndrome mimicking drug eruption

Comparison of SpO(2) values from different fingers of the hands

Pulse oximetry is a frequently used tool in anesthesia practice. Gives valuable information about arterial oxygen content, tissue perfusion and heart beat rate. In this study we aimed to provide the comparison of peripheral capillary hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) values among every finger of the two hands. Thirty-seven healthy volunteers from operative room stuffs between the ages of 18-30 years were enrolled in the study. They were monitored after 5 min of rest. After their non invasive blood pressure, heart rate, fasting time and body temperature were measured, SpO(2) values were obtained from every finger and each of two hands fingers with the same pulse oximetry. All the SpO(2) values were obtained after at least 1 min of measurement period. A total of 370 SpO(2) measurements from 37 volunteers were obtained. The highest average SpO(2) value was measured from right middle finger (98.2 % +/- 1.2) and it was statistically significant when compared with right little finger and left middle finger. The second highest average SpO(2) value was measured from right thumb and it was statistically significant only when compared with left middle finger (the finger with the lowest average SpO(2) value) (p < 0.05). SpO(2) measurement from the fingers of the both hands with the pulse oximetry, the right middle finger and right thumb have statistically significant higher value when compared with left middle finger in right-hand dominant volunteers. We assume that right middle finger and right thumb have the most accurate value that reflects the arterial oxygen saturation

Relationship of Bradykinin B-2 Receptor Gene C-58T Variation with Total-Cholesterol and Glucose in Essential Hypertension

Objective: Hypertension, which affects 25% of the world's population, is a complex disease, with 30% genes affecting its pathogenesis. In this study, we aimed to examine the frequency of the bradykinin B-2 receptor gene C-58T genotypes in patients with essential hypertension and non-hypertensive controls. In addition, we evaluated the effects of C-58T genotypes on demographic characteristics, phenotypes related to obesity, and hypertension

A Simple Food-Diverting Operation for Type 2 Diabetes Treatment. Preliminary Results in Humans with BMI 28-32 kg/m(2)

The feasibility of a simple side-to-side jejunoileal anastomosis (SJA) in non-morbidly obese individuals to control type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was studied in six diabetic patients with BMI 28-32. This novel procedure was performed in two Academic Centers and preliminary data is presented
