[ 1 ] - The Value of LDH Level of BAL Fluid in Differentiating Benign from Malignant Solitary Pulmonary Nodules

Background: Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentration is an indicator for tissue injury. It may be secreted locally in many conditions. For the first time, this study was performed to investigate the value of LDH level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in differentiation of benign from malignant single pulmonary nodules (SPNs) and to assess its relationship with serum LDH levels. Met...

[ 2 ] - Asymptomatic Cardiac Hydatid Cyst

Echinococcus is endemic in some parts of the world but cardiac involvement with hydatid cyst is rare. Here, we report a 55-year-old man who developed right ulnar fracture and was scheduled for surgery. During routine preoperative evaluation abnormal findings in ECG were found. In echocardiography, a large mass was detected in the inferior wall of the left ventricle. Coronary angiography showed ...

[ 3 ] - Comparison of the Effect of Voluven and Ringer Solution in Cardiopulmonary Bypass on the Bleeding After the Surgery and Renal Function in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgeries

Background: This study compared the effect of Voluven and Ringer solution in cardiopulmonary bypass on the bleeding after the surgery and renal function in coronary artery bypass graft surgeries. Methods: Two types of prime solution including ringer - as Crystalloid- and Voluven were used in two groups and compared in terms of bleeding and renal function during the first 24 hours after the surg...
