Öğe ASSESSMENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH LUNGCANCER TREATED WITH CISPLATINUM-BASED CHEMOTERAPY: A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2012) Ozdemir, Burcu; Hatipoglu, Osman N.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe A Case of Massive Pulmonary Embolism Due to Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Hyperhomocysteinemia(Aves, 2014) Uzmezoglu, Bilge; Ozdemir, Levent; Hatipoglu, Osman Nuri; Ozdemir, Burcu; Edis, Ebru CakirA 57-year-old woman with no prior history was admitted to our emergency department with complaints of chest pain, dyspnea, xerostomia, syncope, and cyanosis on her lips and feet. On her physical examination, cyanosis, tachypnea, hypotension and sinus tachycardia were revealed. On the spiral computed tomography of the thorax of the patient with diabetic ketoacidosis, thrombus was detected in the left and right main pulmonary artery and segmental branches of the right pulmonary artery. The fibrinolytic treatment was initiated in the emergency department for the patient with hemodynamic shock due to the diagnosis of acute massive pulmonary embolism. Etiological examinations revealed B12 deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia. This case, with the presentation of massive pulmonary embolism, resulted from the synergistic effect of hyperhomocysteinemia associated with B12 deficiency; hypovolemia caused by diabetic ketoacidosis was reported owing to its rareness.Öğe Cisplatin-Dependent Nephrotoxicity in Patients with Lung Cancer(Kare Publ, 2016) Ozdemir, Burcu; Ozdemir, Levent; Hatipoglu, Osman; Tabakoglu, Erhan; Altiay, GundenizOBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate nephrotoxicity development ratios and clinical results of nephrotoxicity in patients diagnosed with lung cancer who received cisplatin in chemotherapy protocol. METHODS A total of 170 lung cancer patients were enrolled in the present prospective study. Renal functions were recorded for each patient before and after chemotherapy. Nephrotoxicity was defined as doubling in plasma creatinine concentration. Modification in treatment due to nephrotoxicity (reduction in cisplatin dosage, cisplatin interruption, or discontinuation of chemotherapy) was recorded during chemotherapy courses. RESULTS Decreasement of creatinine clearance levels was observed following each course of chemotherapy, but was especially noteworthy following the 1st and 5th courses (p=0.002; p=0.007, respectively). Nephrotoxicity was observed in 19 of the 170 patients (11%), in 10 of whom (53%) cisplatin dosage was reduced, and in 8 of whom (42%), cisplatin treatment was interrupted. Chemotherapy was discontinued in 1 patient (5%). CONCLUSION Particularly following the fourth course, chemotherapy must be carefully administered due to risk of nephrotoxicity.Öğe Pulmonary Nocardiosis Induced by Long-Term Use of Steroids on a Bronchiectasis Backgroung(Galenos Yayincilik, 2015) Ozdemir, Levent; Ozdemir, Burcu; Temelli, Mustafa; Hatipoglu, Osman NuriA 45-year-old male was assessed with the complaints of cough, sputum, fever, shortness of breath, tingling and burning in both legs. In his history, he had frequent hospitalizations and steroid use. Respiratory system examination revealed inspiratory and expiratory crackles on bilateral lower-middle zones and expiration rhoncus. Laboratory examination revealed leukocytosis and elevated CRP levels; serology for HIV was reported negative. Computed tomography showed diffuse interstitial pneumonia. Electromyography (EMG) showed lower extremity muscle activation compatible with myopathy. Acid-fast bacilli was negative (three consecutive negative microscopy results) and no reproduction was detected in the culture. Nocardia spp. growth was detected in sputum culture. According to the antibiogram results, he was treated with doxycycline, trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole for 6 months. At the end of treatment, the lesions were found to be regressed on computed tomography. In conclusion, considering the high frequency of bronchiectasis in our country, the fact that nocardia may develop due to inappropriate long-term steroid use during an attack should be kept in mind.Öğe Resistance Rates of Antituberculosis Drugs in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients Producing Mycobacterium Tuberculosis(Aves, 2011) Perincek, Gokhan; Tabakoglu, Erhan; Otkun, Metin; Ozdemir, Levent; Ozdemir, BurcuObjective: Determination of antituberculosis drug resistance rate in pulmonary tuberculosis patients producing Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Material and Method: 134 pulmonary tuberculosis patients producing Mycobacterium tuberculosis in cultures in the Trakya University Medical Faculty Hospital between the years 2005-2007 were enrolled in the study. Four major antituberculosis drugs (H, R, streptomycin (SM), ethambutol (EMB)) resistance and multidrug resistance rates were investigated. using the BACTEC 460 TB system. Results: 134 pulmonary tuberculosis patients producing Mycobacterium tuberculosis were detected and 31 female patients were found and 103 male patients. Acid resistant bacilli were found in 58.2% of the patients with EZN. Antituberculosis resistance rates were established as H 10.4%, R 3%, EMB 0.7%, SM 0.7%. Conclusion: It was determined that a follow up of drug resistance patterns in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis will be useful in determining treatment protocols and preventing drug resistance.
