Öğe Enteric Nervous System: a Review(Trakya Üniversitesi, 2015) Kurt, Cansu; Göy, Defne Flora; Özden, Gülşah; Barutçu, Öykü; Bozer, CüneytEnteric nervous system directs and regulates the breakdown, absorption and elimination of food in our digestive system. However, alongside its digestive functions, enteric nervous system has also gained importance because of the discovery of its bidirectional link with intestinal flora, which has recently started to be considered as a separate organ in addiction to its digestive functions. Enteric nervous system contains approximately 100 million nerve cells, operates both independently and in coordination with the central nervous system, interacts with many neurotransmitters and is related to many conditions and structures such as the intestinal flora, mood, immune system and the efficiency of food utilization. It has a clinical importance on account of the diseases it is associated with. Recent studies focus on the connections between the intestinal flora, enteric nervous system and mechanisms of disease development. In order to understand these studies and pathological mechanisms it is essential to know the structure, connections and functioning of enteric nervous system. Considering these, we addressed the enteric nervous system and its communications with other structures of the digestive systemÖğe The Evaluation and Interpretation of the Most Common Intervertebral Discs in Cervical Hernias: a Retrospective Study(Trakya Üniversitesi, 2016) İşkan, Nur Gülce; Kurt, Cansu; Akşar, Aslıhan; Tekataş, AslanAims: In this study it is aimed to determine the most common intervertebral discs in cervical hernias and to discuss the possible causes of prevalence.Methods:The data of 110 patients who were diagnosed with cervical disc hernia in Trakya University Health Center for Medical Research Neurology Clinics EMG lab in between 2012 and 2015 was analyzed retrospectively by looking at the age, gender and herniated intervertebral disc. Chi- Square test was used to determine the frequency of the cervical disc hernia in intervertebral discs in both genders. Independent Samples T Test was used to determine the correlation between prevalence of herniated intervertebral discs, age and gender. Arithmetic mean ± standard deviation, number and percentages, median (minimum-maximum) were used as descriptive analysis.Results: Out of 110 patients, there were 60 males (52.3%) and 50 females (48.7%) with the mean age of 50.43 ±12.67, the youngest patient was 26 and the oldest was 82. The most involved disc was found to be C5-C6 (15 males with a percentage of 25% and 23 females with a percentage of 46%). Conclusion:The most common intervertebral disc in cervical hernia was detected as C5-C6. It may be because of the maximal extension and flexion, functional overloading and micro traumas which affect C5-C6 segmentÖğe F-18-Fdg Pet/Ct Findings in Differentiated Papillary Carcinoma of Thyroid and Determination of Metabolic Activity(Trakya Üniversitesi, 2017) Tezel, Mehmet Oğulcan; Mercan, Oğuz; Yumurtacı, Öznur; Kurt, Cansu; Altun, Gülay DurmuşAims: In well differentiated thyroid cancers, FDG PET has a relatively low sensitivity. F-18 FDG PET/CT is an imaging method which is used before the treatment and in high risk patient groups with suspected recurrent disease. In this study we aim to determine the character of metabolic activity in differentiated thyroid cancer and in case of metastasis and to evaluate the findings of F-18-FDG PET/CT images in high risk patient group of differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods: The data of 79 patients who underwent imaging for staging or restaging and followed at Trakya Univerısity Faculty of Medicine from 2010 to 2015, were included in this study. Patient reports were analyzed retrospectively. Age, gender, size of thyroid lesion, presence of lymphadenopathy, other organ metastases (lung, liver, brain, bone) were included in the study. Results: The findings of 79 patients (29 male, 50 female) with papillary differentiated thyroid cancer were included in the analyses. The mean age of participants was 51±15 years. 14 patients (18%) were evaluated as normally. Recurırent disease was detected in the thyroid gland of 10 patients (13%) (SUVmax: 6.2±5.1; 2.3-19.3). In 54 patients (68%) lymph node metastasis was detected (SUVmax; 5.8±5.1; 2.1-24.2). 12 patients had liver metastasis (SUVmax: 5.7±3.9; 2.0-11.7), 12 patients had bone metastasis (SUVmax: 6.1±2.9; 2.2-13.9), 8 patients had lung metastasis (SUVmax: 4.3±4.5; 1.0-4.9) and one patient had brain metastasis (SUVmax: 10.2). Conclusion: Papillary differentiated thyroid cancer is associated with a tumor showing low glucose affinity, but it is understood that the tumor changes its behavior and gets metabolically active in the patients within the high risk group and in those with systemic metastasisÖğe Impact of T Wave Amplitude in Lead Avr on Predicting Appropriate Therapies in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patients With An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator(Trakya Üniversitesi, 2018) Söyleyici, Begüm; Hünkar, Pelinsu Elif; Girit, Çağrı; Kurt, Cansu; Uçar, Fatih MehmetAims: Although implantable cardioverter defibrillator reduces mortality in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients,inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks are related to increased mortality. The aim of this studyis to investigate whether a new electrocardiographic marker of T wave amplitude in lead aVR can be used to predictappropriate therapy of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (shock or anti-tachycardia pacing) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathypatients.Methods: Thirty-six hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients, who were admitted to the outpatient clinic for pacemakercontrol, with implantable cardioverter defibrillator were retrospectively examined (mean age: 51 ± 10.2 years,72.2% male). The primary endpoint was appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy. All hematological,biochemical and electrocardiogram parameters were measured before implantable cardioverter defibrillator wasimplanted.Results: Over a median follow-up period of 33 months, 9 (25%) patients experienced appropriate implantablecardioverter defibrillator therapy. Heart rate and QRS interval were similar between groups. QT and QTc valueswere higher in patients that received appropriate shocks. Patients who have T wave inversion were higher in therapypositive group. T wave amplitude in lead aVR values were significantly associated with appropriate therapy.Conclusion: Using simple ECG parameters, we may predict arrhythmic episodes before ICD implantation and animprovement of the medical antiarrhythmic therapy might be protective for HCM patients with ICD.Öğe Use of Electrocardiographic Markers to Predict Ventricular Arrhythmias in Acute Myocarditis Patients(Trakya Üniversitesi, 2017) Yumurtacı, Öznur; Kurt, Cansu; Uçar, Fatih Mehmet; Öztürk, CihanAims: Acute myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium and is characterized by a large heterogeneity of clinical presentation. Myocarditis is becoming to be recognized as a contributor to unexplained mortality, and is thought to be a major cause of sudden cardiac death in the first two decades of life. Myocardial inflammation, ion channel dysfunction, electrophysiological and structural remodelling may play important roles in life-threatening arrhythmias. We aimed to investigate the ventricular arrhythmia predictors in myocarditis patients by using electrocardiographic markers. Methods: A total of 56 patients (mean age 22.5 ± 3.7 years; 89% males) with acute myocarditis were enrolled in the study. Tpeak-Tend intervals, Tpeak-Tend/QT and Tpeak-Tend/corrected QT (QTc), cardio-electrophysiological balance (QT/QRS) and heart rate-corrected QT(QTc)/QRS ratios were calculated from 12-lead electrocardiogram. Results: Heart rate, QT and QTc values were similar between groups. QRS complexes were lower in arrhythmia positive group than arrhythmia negative group (p=0.004). Tpeak-Tend intervals, Tpeak-Tend/QT, Tpeak-Tend/ QTc, cardio-electrophysiological balance and heart rate-corrected QT(QTc)/QRS values were significantly higher in arrhythmia positive group ( lt; 0.001, lt; 0.001, p=0.03, p=0.04 and lt; 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: In this study, we observed that higher Tpeak-Tend, Tpeak-Tend/QT, Tpeak-Tend/QTc , cardio-electrophysiological balance (ICEB) and heart rate-corrected QT(QTc)/QRS ratio are associated with ventricular arrhythmic episodes in acute myocarditis patients. These electrocardiographic markers may be beneficial to identify high risk patients for arrhytmias complicating myocarditis.Öğe Usefullness of Electrocardiographic Markers to Predict Ventricular Arrhythmia in Acute Myocarditis.(Excerpta Medica Inc-Elsevier Science Inc, 2017) Ucar, Fatih Mehmet; Ozturk, Cihan; Yumurtaci, Oznur; Kurt, Cansu; Yelmaztepe, Mustafa Adem[Abstract Not Available]
