Methods: The diagnosis of HCC in cirrhotic patients was based on the EASL guidelines. On contrast-enhanced CT scans, MMPVT was identified by the presence of a low-attenuation intra-luminal filling defect. Intrathrombus vascularity, observed in the arterial phase of imaging studies after the administration of contrast, has been reported to be a sign that is specific for MMPVT on CT [3]. MMPVT wa...

Date of acceptance / Kabul tarihi: February 16, 2016 / 16 Şubat 2016 ABSTRACT: Evaluation of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and mean platelet volume in patients with psoriasis Objective: Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, systemic disease. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is used to evaluate the disease activity and response to therapy in psoriasis patients. However, more objective labo...

AIM To investigate whether there is a relation between neutrophillymphocyte (N/L) and platelet- lymphocyte (P/L) ratios and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS Thirty patients diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis and 25 healthy people (controls) were included in the study. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), height, hemogram, sedime...

Acute pancreatitis Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory process of pancreatic tissue, which can affect other distant organ systems. Its severity can range from mild inflammation to severe, progressive pancreatic necrosis, and it can lead to multiorgan failure that may have a mortality rate as high as 20% to 30% [1]. Several scoring systems have been proposed to determine its severity. Amo...

In this paper we describe block algorithms for the reduction of a real symmetric matrix to tridiagonal form and for the reduction of a general real matrix to either bidiagonal or Hessenberg form using Householder transformations. The approach is to aggregate the transformations and to apply them in a blocked fashion, thus achieving algorithms that are rich in matrix-matrix operations. These red...

background: due to difficulty of obtaining a 24h urine (especially in children), a random urine calcium sample is recommended to detect of hypercalciuria. however, recent studies have shown that the urinary calcium/creatinine ratio varies with age and geographic areas. so, the aim of this study was determining the normal value of urinary calcium to creatinine ratio in healthy adolescent’s child...
