In this study, it was aimed to compare results of bacteriological examination with those California Mastitis Test (CMT) Somatic Cell Count (SCC)in milk samples collected from Anatolian buffaloes no clinical signs mastitis. For purpose, 96 were 24 each quarter. All examined for presence mastitic pathoge...

The study of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) is rapidly progressing in many aspects. Novel BoNTs are being discovered owing to next generation sequencing, but their biologic and pharmacological properties remain largely unknown. The molecular structure of the large protein complexes that the toxin forms with accessory proteins, which are included in some BoNT type A1 and B1 pharmacological prepara...

Diagnostic work-up when a testicular cancer is suspected includes a clinical examination, determination of risk factors, imaging and serum tumours markers. Tumour markers are useful in the diagnosis and staging of disease, for monitor the therapeutic response and to detect tumour recurrence. The alpha- fetoprotein (AFP) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) are well established as se...

Myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a new index of the functional significance of intermediate coronary stenoses that is calculated from pressure measurements made during coronary arteriography. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between non-hyperemic coronary pressure dicrotic notch and fractional flow reserve (FFR). A consecutive of 114 patients (73 men and 41 women...

THE AIM OF THE STUDY Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common disease with a multifactorial pathogenesis. Our aim was to analyse the role of the Gastroesophageal Disease Questionnaire in diagnosing reflux disease in the population of the Republic of Macedonia. METHODS The questionnaire on the severity of the symptoms related to GERD was used. An evaluation of the distal portion of the oeso...

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and heterogeneous malignancy whose pathogenesis and poor prognosis is poorly understood. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are routinely performed for the imaging of the adrenal mass and for standard staging of the chest and abdomen as the lung and liver are the primary organs for metastasis in ACC. Contrast-enhanced ultra...

Objective: To investigate leukocyte count, neutrophil percentage, Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-Lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet distribution width (PDW) and CRP in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA). Materials and methods: A retrospective case-controlled study was designed in two groups. Ninety-seven patients co...

OBJECTIVE Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common causes of febrile pediatric diseases. Also, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a significant risk factor for UTI. Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is the method of choice for evaluation of VUR. This study was done to predict VUR by DMSA scan (technetium 99 m-labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid) and ultrasonography (US). METHODS In a p...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In this study, we examined the role of inflammatory parameters in an apical mural thrombus with a reduced ejection fraction due to large anterior myocardial infarction (MI). SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 103 patients who had suffered from heart failure, 45 of whom had left ventricular apical thrombus (AT) after a large anterior MI, were enrolled in the study. A det...
