Öğe Böbrek tümörleri içinde renal onkositom sıklığı ve tanıda görüntüleme yöntemlerinin ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi indikasyonundaki yeri(Ali İhsan TAŞÇI, 2015) Selimoğlu, Ahmet; Türk, Akif; Kafkaslı, Alper; Demir, Kadir; Aslan, Hasan; Yücel Boz, Mustafa; Cangüven, ÖnderAmaç: Böbrek tümörü nedeniyle tedavi edilen hastalar içerisinde renal onksitom sıklığını ve tanı için görüntüleme yöntemlerinin ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi indikasyonundaki yerini araştırdık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Hastanemizde 2005 ile 2011 yılları arasında böbrek tümörü nedeniyle radikal nefrektomi veya nefron koruyucu cerrahi uygulanan 420 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Renal onkositom saptanan hastalar radyolojik bulgu ve semptom varlığı, bu hastalara uygulanan tedaviler ve ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi ile böbrek biyopsisi uygulanabilirliği açısından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Renal onkositom sıklığı %2.8 olarak tespit edildi. Bu hastaların 7’sinde (%58) radyolojik bulgu izlendi. Hastaların 8’i (%67) tanı anında semptomatikti. 2 hastaya (%17) nefron koruyucu cerrahi, 10 hastaya (%83) ise radikal nefrektomi uygulandı. Sonuç: Renal onkositom sıklığı literatür ile uyumlu bulundu. Radyolojik bulgusu olan veya benin-malin ayrımı yapılamayan hastalarda ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi veya böbrek biyopsisi yapılmasının gereksiz radikal cerrahileri engelleyeceği kanaatindeyiz.Öğe Predictors of treatment requirement in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients with persistently normal alanine aminotransferase and high serum HBV DNA levels(Elsevier, 2016) Örmeci, Aslı; Aydın, Yücel; Şumnu, Abdullah; Baran, Bülent; Mutluay Soyer, Özlem; Pınarbaşı, Binnur; Göktürk, Suut; Güllüo?lu, Mine; Önel, Derya; Badur, Selim; Akyüz, Filiz; Karaca, Çetin; Demir, Kadir; Beşışık, Fatih; Kaymakoğlu, SabahattinObjectives: Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is a controversial marker for disease monitoring in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. The aim of this study was to determine the fibrosis stage and histological activity index (HAI) in HBeAg-negative CHB patients with persistently normal ALT (PNALT) and high serum HBV DNA (>= 2000 IU/ml) and to investigate clinical risk factors for the requirement of treatment through the examination of liver biopsy specimens. Methods: HBeAg-negative CHB patients with PNALT (<= 40 IU/l) and high serum HBV DNA (>= 2000 IU/ml) were included. HBV fibrosis stage and HAI were scored according to the Ishak system. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the independent risk factors for fibrosis stage >= 2 and/or HAI >= 6. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine an optimal age cut-off for liver biopsy. Results: A total 120 patients were enrolled. These patients had a mean HBV DNA level of 123 680 +/- 494 500 IU/ml; the HBV DNA load was 2000-20 000 IU/ml in 68 patients (56.6%) and >= 20 000 IU/ml in 52 (43.4%). Eighteen patients (15%) had moderate-to-severe histological activity (HAI >= 6). Forty-three patients (35.9%) had a fibrosis stage >= 2. Forty-eight patients (40%) had a fibrosis stage >= 2 and/or HAI >= 6. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, independent variables associated with fibrosis stage >= 2 and/or HAI >= 6 included age and HBV DNA viral load. Patients with HBV DNA 2000-20 000 IU/ml were more likely to require treatment compared to those with a viral load >= 20 000 IU/ml. The optimal age cut-off to predict fibrosis stage >= 2 and/or HAI >= 6 was 46 years. Conclusions: Significant liver damage was detected in 40% of CHB patients with PNALT and high HBV DNA upon biopsy. Age and HBV DNA viral load were independent predictors of significant liver damage. A biopsy to determine the degree of liver damage is advisable for CHB patients older than 46 years.Öğe Retention during capsule endoscopy: Is it a real problem in routine practice?(Sage Publications Ltd, 2016) Örmeci Çifçibaşı, Aslı; Akyüz, Filiz; Baran, Bülent; Göktürk, Suut; Örmeci, Tuğrul; Pınarbaşı, Binnur; Soyer Mutluay, Özlem; Evirgen, Sami; Akyüz, Ümit; Karaca, Çetin; Demir, Kadir; Kaymakoğlu, Sabahattin; Beşışık, FatihObjective This study evaluated the risks and outcomes of capsule retention during capsule endoscopy (CE) for investigating small bowel disease. Capsule retention is the most serious complication of CE. Methods Before CE, the gastrointestinal tract was evaluated for blockages with computerized tomography. Analysis of CE was made retrospectively. Results Capsule endoscopy was used to investigate obscure bleeding (90.2%; n=324) or other symptoms (9.8%; n=35). The capsule retention rate was 11/359 (3.1%); it was retained in a malignant lesion area (adenocarcinoma or melanoma) in two patients (18.2%), in the small bowel in an ulcerated area in five patients (45.5%), and in the oesophagus/stomach in four patients (36.4%) due to dysmotility. None of the patients had symptoms of obstruction. Conclusions Scanning patients before CE did not predict capsule retention. Retention is a complication of CE, but occurs as a result of the underlying disease. The risk of retention is increased in patients with motility disorders, suspected small bowel ulcers or malignancies.Öğe What is the impact of capsule endoscopy in the long term period?(Baishideng Publishing Group Inc, 2016) Örmeci, Aslı; Akyüz, Filiz; Baran, Bülent; Göktürk, Suut; Örmeci, Tuğrul; Pınarbaşı, Binnur; Soyer Mutluay, Özlem; Evirgen, Sami; Akyüz, Ümit; Karaca, Çetin; Demir, Kadir; Kaymakoğlu, Sabahattin; Beşışık, FatihAIM: To assess the clinical impact of capsule endoscopy (CE) in the long-term follow-up period in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). METHODS: One hundred and forty-one patients who applied CE for OGIB between 2009 and 2012 were retrospectively analyzed, and this cohort was then questioned prospectively. Demographic data of the patients were determined via the presence of comorbid diseases, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs anticoagulant-antiaggregant agents, previous diagnostic tests for bleeding episodes, CE findings, laboratory tests and outcomes. RESULTS: CE was performed on 141 patients because of OGIB. The capsule was retained in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) system in two of the patients, thus video monitoring was not achieved. There were 139 patients [62% male, median age: 72 years (range: 13-93 years) and a median follow-up duration: 32 mo (range: 6-82 mo)]. The overall diagnostic yield of CE was 84.9%. Rebleeding was determined in 40.3% (56/139) of the patients. The rebleeding rates of patients with positive and negative capsule results at the end of the follow-up were 46.6% (55/118) and 4.8% (1/21), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, usage of NSAIDs, anticoagulant-antiaggregant therapies (OR = 5.8; 95% CI: 1.86-18.27) and vascular ectasia (OR = 6.02; 95% CI: 2.568-14.146) in CE were detected as independent predictors of rebleeding. In the univariate analysis, advanced age, comorbidity, and overt bleeding were detected as predictors of rebleeding. CONCLUSION: CE is a reliable method in the diagnosis of obscure GI bleeding. Negative CE correlated with a significantly lower rebleeding risk in the long-term follow-up period.
