A rare case of peritonitis: Streptococcus salivarius
(2015)Streptococcus salivarius is a Gram-positive bacteria that may cause infections like endocarditis and meningitis. However, it has not been reported as a causative agent of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients. In ... -
A rare urea cycle disorder in a neonate: N-acetylglutamate synthetase deficiency
(2020)Urea cycle disorders (UCD), are genetically inherited diseases that may have a poor outcome due to to profound hyperammonemia. We report the case of a baby girl diagnosed as N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) deficiency. ... -
Alterations in Promoter Methylation Status of Tumor Suppressor HIC1, SFRP2, and DAPK1 Genes in Prostate Carcinomas
Hypermethylated genomic DNA is a common feature in tumoral tissues, although the prevalence of this modification remains poorly understood. We aimed to determine the frequency of five tumor suppressor (TS) genes in prostate ... -
Antierythropoietin Antibodies in Hemodialysis Patients Treated with Recombinant Erythropoietin
(2014)OBJECTIVE: Erythropoietin resistance is a serious problem in patients treated with recombinant erythropoietin. Antierythropoietin antibodies are considered to be one of the causes of this resistance. -
Bilateral demyelinating tumefactive lesions in three children with hemiparesis
(2002)We present the results from the evaluations of three children ages of 2, 7, and 11 years with hemiparesis and multiple white-matter lesions on magnetic resonance images (MRIs). The initial symptoms were mainly acute/subacute ... -
Changes in the inflammatory markers with advancing stages of diabetic nephropathy and the role of pentraxin-3
(2016)Background: Immunological and inflammatory mechanisms have been shown to have role in both the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DNP). There is need for more specific markers for inflammation as the ones ... -
Comparison of Uremic Patients with Non-Uremic Controls Regarding Gastroscopic Findings and Helicobacter Pylori Positivity
(2013)OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the relationship between gastroscopic findings and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in uremic patients; and to compare them with the normal population. -
Extracellular microRNA signature in chronic kidney disease
(2017)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that regulate posttranscriptional gene expression. In this study we characterized the circulating and urinary miRNA pattern associated with reduced glomerular filtration rate, using ... -
HLA-DR and -DQ Associations with Multiple Sclerosis in Turkey
(1997)ABSTRACT: The DRB, DQA, and DQB subregions ofthe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) were investigatedby polymerase chain reaction and sequence-specificoligonucleotide probe hybridization (PCR/SSO) in103 multiple sclerosis ... -
Importance of home visits in peritoneal dialysis
(2008)BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a treatment option that enables patients to perform dialysis in their own homes without being separated from social life. This study assessed the training provided by the PD unit to ... -
Investigation of neuronal auto-antibodies in children diagnosed with epileptic encephalopathy of unknown cause
Aim: Cryptogenic forms of epileptic encephalopathies (EE) with their well-known features of drug-resistance, mental deterioration and partial response to immunotherapies are ideal candidates for screening for neuronal ... -
Is Pentraxin-3 a Stronger Marker of Inflammation than C-Reactive Protein in Chronic Kidney Disease?
(2014)OBJECTIVE : Pentraxin-3 (PTX-3) is elevated in uremic patients and related with albuminuria and endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to clarify the relationship of PTX-3 with inflammatory markers (hsCRP and IL-6) in patients ... -
Mutational landscape of severe combined immunodeficiency patients from Turkey.
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) has a diverse genetic aetiology, where a clinical phenotype, caused by single and/or multiple gene variants, can give rise to multiple presentations. The advent of next-generation ... -
