Hypogammaglobulinemia and Poor Performance Status are Predisposing Factors for Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus Colonization in Patients with Hematological Malignancies.
ObjectiveVancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are common pathogens of hospital-acquired infection. Long hospitalization periods, use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and immunosuppression are major risks for VRE colonization. We aimed to evaluate patients' characteristics and factors that may contribute to VRE colonization.Materials and methodsData of 66 patients with colonization and 112 patients without colonization who were hospitalized in the hematology clinic were collected. Hematological malignancies, preexisting gastrointestinal complaints, the presence of hypogammaglobulinemia at the time of diagnosis, complications like neutropenic enterocolitis (NEC), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) and Karnofsky performance statuses were recorded.ResultsAges of the patients ranged between 19 and 95 years (mean: 55.99). Karnofsky and ECOG scores were statistically related to VRE colonization (p
Secondary infections in cancer patients with febrile neutropenia.
ObjectivePatients with neutropenia due to cancer chemotherapy are prone to severe infections. Cancer patients canexperience >1 infectious episode during the same period of neutropenia. This study aimed to determine the etiologicaland clinical characteristics of secondary infectious episodes in cancer patients with febrile neutropenia and to identifythe factors associated with the risk of secondary infectious episodes.Material and methodsAll cancer patients that received antineoplastic chemotherapy at Ankara University, School ofMedicine, Department of Hematology between May 2004 and May 2005 and developed neutropenia were included in thestudy. Data were collected using survey forms that were completed during routine infectious diseases consultation visits.Categorical data were analyzed using the chi-square test, whereas Student's t-test was used for continuous variables.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of secondary infections (SIs).ResultsSIs were observed during 138 (53%) of 259 febrile neutropenic episodes. Of the 138 episodes, 89 (64.5%)occurred in male patients with a mean age of 40.9 years (range: 17-76 years). In …
Presence of Essential Hypertension or Diabetes Mellitus Is a Predictor of Intracranial Bleeding in Elderly Patients: A Study of 108 Patients with Isolated Thrombocytopenia from a Single Reference …
ObjectiveThrombocytopenia poses a significant problem in the elderly. Not only are there varied causes, but it is also associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We carried out a study to learn the causes of isolated thrombocytopenia in elderly patients and to correlate the severity of thrombocytopenia and bleeding manifestations with various etiologic factors and comorbidities.Materials and methodsA total of 108 patients above 50 years of age presenting with isolated thrombocytopenia (platelet counts of
Evaluation of risk factors in cesarean delivery among multiparous women with a history of vaginal delivery.
ObjectiveTo predict the risk of cesarean delivery (CS) for multiparous women who have undergone previous vaginal delivery.Material and methodsA prospective observational study was performed, among multiparous pregnancies that were between 38 and 41 gestational weeks and had a singleton, vertex presentation fetus. Women's physical activity score, obstetric history, intrapartum and postpartum events were assessed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to explore risk factors associated with CS.ResultsOf the 245 total 83.7% had spontaneous labor and 16.3% were induced. Seventy-five percent of the induced women required CS, whereas only 19.5% of those with spontaneous labor required CS (p
The Effects of the Sleep Quality of 112 Emergency Health Workers in Kayseri, Turkey on Their Professional Life.
ObjectivesSleep adequacy is one of the major determinants of a successful professional life. The aim of this study is to determine the sleep quality of emergency health workers and analyze its effects on their professional and social lives.MethodsThe study was carried out on 121 voluntary emergency health workers in 112 Emergency Aid Stations in Kayseri, Turkey, in 2011. The data was collected through the Socio-Demographics Form and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and analyzed via SPSS 18.00. The statistical analysis involved percentage and frequency distributions, mean±standard deviations, a chi-square test, correlations, and logistic regression analysis.ResultsThe mean score of the participants according to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was 4.14±3.09, and 28.9% of participants had poor sleep quality. Being single and being a woman accounted for 11% (p=0.009, 95% CI: 0.111-0.726) and 7% (p=0.003, 95% CI: 0.065-0.564) of poor sleep quality respectively. There was a positive correlation between sleep quality scores and negative effects on professional and social life activities. Negative effects on professional activities included increased loss of attention and …
Prediction of metabolic syndrome in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
ObjectiveTo identify biochemical factors that serve as predictors for the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and to investigate the value of adipocytokines in the prediction of metabolic syndrome.Material and methodsA total of 91 pre-menopausal women with PCOS diagnosed according to the Rotterdam consensus criteria were recruited as study subjects. Waist circumference, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose, serum lipids, insulin, FSH, LH, E2, total testosteron, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), serum leptin and adiponectin levels were evaluated for all patients.ResultsOf the 91 women with PCOS, 15 patients met the criteria for MetS. Body weight, BMI, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and VLDL concentrations were significantly higher and HDL was significantly lower in women with PCOS+MetS compared with those with PCOS only. However, the level of LDL, FSH, LH, E2 and total testesterone was not significantly different between these two groups. Women with PCOS+MetS had significantly higher levels of leptin and …
Maternal plasma prolidase, matrix metalloproteinases 1 and 13, and oxidative stress levels in pregnancies complicated by preterm premature rupture of the membranes and chorioamnionitis.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the role of various biochemical markers in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and in prediction of chorioamnionitis in patients with PPROM.Material and methodsThis case-control study included a total of 100 pregnant women at 26-34 gestational weeks. Of these women, 50 were healthy and 50 had PPROM. The biochemical markers in the maternal plasma including prolidase, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 1 and 13, total oxidative status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), paraoxonase-1 (PON-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were assayed. These levels were compared between the PPROM and control groups and between women with or without chorioamnionitis in the PPROM group.ResultsCompared to the control group, the levels of prolidase, MMP-13, and TOS were significantly higher (p values
Incidence of diabetes mellitus at postpartum six to twelve months following the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus.
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to research the rates of diabetes mellitus (DM) and the risk factors that may play a role in the prediction of this condition by evaluating patients with the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) at the 6(th)-12(th) postpartum months.Material and methodAmong 109 cases who had been invited to the hospital for oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at the 6(th)-12(th) postpartum months, 84 cases (77%) were enrolled in the study. To the 78 patients that were found to be appropriate according to the study criteria, 75 gr OGTT was administered. Patients who had new pregnancies during the period of postpartum screening, and those with previously diagnosed DM were excluded from the study.ResultsWhile the results of 23 cases (29.5%) included in the study were normal, 27 cases (34.6%) were diagnosed with DM and 28 cases (35.9%) were diagnosed as having an impaired glucose tolerance and/or impaired fasting glucose (IGT/IFG). Among patients diagnosed with DM, the history of DM in the first degree relatives (n=21, 77.8%, p=0.018), body mass index before pregnancy (mean=30.1±4.4, p=0.009) and insulin requirement for the treatment of GDM (n=25, 92.6%, …
