The Association between hypovitaminosis D and metabolic syndrome

The metabolic syndrome and its components have been associated with hypovitaminosis D in many observational trials. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this relationship and include most conditions that are present in patients with the metabolic syndrome. A causal relationship of the association between the metabolic syndrome and hypovitaminosis D, however, has not been demonstr…

Copeptin based approach Diabetes Insipidus

The indirect water-deprivation test is the current reference standard for the diagnosis of diabetes insipidus. However, it is technically cumbersome to administer, and the results are often inaccurate. The current study compared the indirect water-deprivation test with direct detection of plasma copeptin, a precursorderived surrogate of arginine vasopressin

Obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: new treatment…

Obesity has risen in the US and worldwide, and has become a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and heart failure (HF), mostly HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Also, the prevalence of HF is quite high in the US accounting for 6.6 million adults at present and is projected to reach 8.5 million by the year 2030 and is equally di…

Thrombosis in pregnancy : update in diagnosis and management

Acute venous thromboembolism poses significant problems in pregnancy, a time when objective diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential. Events can occur at any stage in pregnancy, but the period of greatest risk is in the weeks after delivery. Ultrasound venography remains the diagnostic technique of choice for deep venous thrombosis. For pulmonary thromboembolism, ventilation perfusion lung…

Deep vein thrombosis: pathogenesis, diagnosis, and medical management

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major preventable cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE), affects an estimated 1 per 1,000 people and contributes to 60,000–100,000 deaths annually. Normal blood physiology hinges on a delicate balance between pro- and anti-coagulant factors. Virchow’s Triad distills the multi…

Deep venous thrombosis: a literature review

Abstract: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) refers to the formation of thrombosis within the deep veins, dominantly occurring in the pelvis or lower limbs. This clinical syndrome has gained attention as one complication of DVT, pulmonary embolization, can be fatal. Therefore, early detection and systematic management of DVT and related complica tions are essential in clinical practice. As the clinica…

Diversity and Distribution of Heavy Metal-Resistant Bacteria in Polluted Sed…

Heavy metals influence the population size, diversity, and metabolic activity of bacteria. In turn, bacteria can develop heavy metal resistance mechanisms, and this can be used in bioremediation of contaminated areas. The purpose of the present study was to understand how heavy metals concentration influence on diversity and distribution of heavy metal-resistant bacteria in Araça Bay, São Se…

Prevalence of Childhood Eye Disease

Population or hospital-based studies of the epidemiology of childhood eye diseases in Turkey are limited. Therefore, we aimed to establish the eye disease and treatment frequencies in a cohort of children presenting to a single pediatric ophthalmology clinic in Istanbul. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective review of the hospital files of 500 children admitted to the pediatric ophthal…
