INTRODUCTION: Silent ischemic lesions(CIL) frequently occur after carotid artery stenting(CAS) and are associated with poor long-term prognosis. The effect of blood triglyceride (TG) level on CIL after CAS is yet clear. We investigated the effect of serum TG level on post-procedure CIL in patients undergoing CAS. METHODS: 57 patients who underwent CAS were included in the study, and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was conducted before and after CAS. The primary endpoint was new CILs after CAS. The effects of pre-procedural TG, total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL levels on the primary endpoint were investigated. RESULTS: Of the patients 46 (80.7%) were male, median age was 69(60-73) years, and 27 (47.3%) were symptomatic. After the procedure, ipsilateral new CILs were detected in 28 (49.1%) patients. NASCET stenosis %, being symptomatic and using aspirin before the procedure were associated with the presence of new ipsilateral CILs. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, pre-procedural TG level was the only independent predictor of ipsilateral new CILs after the procedure. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Our study reveals that high TG level is an independent risk factor for new CILs after CAS. Since CILs increase the risk for future ischemic events, TG as a simple, inexpensive, effective, and modifiable marker, can provide information for intense medical treatment, early intervention, and the prognosis.

The internet is increasingly becoming important in daily life and healthcare services do not resist this change and keep evolving accordingly. In this study it was aimed to evaluate the awareness of pediatric urology, use of the internet for medical purposes by the parents of pediatric urology patients.

Since anticoagulation performed by affecting hematological parameters has serious complications such as bleeding, studies are also conducted to benefit from diets instead of prophylactic anticoagulants in order to reduce the risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). Our aim is to review the benefits of the Mediterranean diet in the prophylaxis and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), although the current studies have yet to be conclusive. The Mediterranean diet is characterized by the consumption of plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes and unprocessed cereals, and seafood such as fish. The consumption of meat and meat products is low in this diet. The consumption of dairy products is also low. Fruits, vegetables and juices in the Mediterranean diet contain a significant amount of flavonoids. In addition, olive oil, which is one of the basic elements of the Mediterranean diet, has antioxidant properties due to its essential polyphenolic compounds. It has been reported that the low consumption of vegetables contributes to the increase of VTE incidence in Thai society. On the contrary, a diet with plenty of herbal food, fish and a small amount of red meat (Mediterranean diet) has been reported to reduce the risk of VTE. We think that the Mediterranean diet, which is beneficial for our health, may also decrease the risk of DVT. However, medical therapy is required for the treatment of patients with DVT. Nutritional approaches, including the Mediterranean diet, should be considered as supplement.

Objective: Neutropenic Enterocolitis (NE) is a serious complication characterized by transmural inflammation of the large and small intestines, with especially the cecum. The diagnosis of NE is usually based on a combination of clinical and radiological findings, and the most reliable method in diagnosis is computed tomography (CT). In this study, we wanted to investigate which intestinal segments are affected in 15 patients we diagnose NE with CT and whether there is a relationship between intestinal involvement and prognosis. Materials and Methods: After the CTs of all patients were examined in detail, they were divided into groups according to the intestinal segments held. Then, by measuring the size of the intestinal wall where it is the thickest, it was investigated whether there is a relationship between intestinal involvement and prognosis. Results: We detected an increase in mucosal enhancement and wall thicknesses of at least 11 mm in the terminal ileum and other intestinal segments, primarily in the cecum and the ascending colon. The mesentery adjacent to the thickened intestinal segments had inflammatory contaminationheterogeneity and secondary mesenteric stranding, some local lymphadenopathies (LAPs), and free fluid appearance.

INTRODUCTION: This study; It was performed to determine the anxiety levels of patients who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the first time. METHODS: Research; It was performed in the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy unit of a city hospital between May 2018 and February 2020. The sample of the descriptive study consisted of 76 patients who underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the first time. In order to evaluate the subjective parameters of the patients in hyperbaric oxygen treatment process; Visual Comparison Scale and Status-Trait Anxiety Inventory were used. Objective measurements evaluated during the hyperbaric oxygen treatment were recorded in the form of physiological parameters. Study data were evaluated using SPSS 22.0 statistical package program. RESULTS: In the study; When the patients came to the clinic, the state anxiety levels and the Visual Comparison Scale means scores were found to be high and decreased immediately after the treatment. Mean anxiety levels of the patients were determined as 77.22 +- 7.8. In repeated measurement, the mean oxygen saturation levels of the patients increased and their respiratory averages decreases ( p<0.05). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In this study, subjective (Status-Trait Anxiety and Visual Comparison Scale) and objective (respiration rate) measurement results; reveals that patients with hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the first time showed higher anxiety levels when they arrived at the clinic after treatment. Coclusions; in patients undegoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it justifies taking measures for anxiety.
