Preoperative Vitamin D Level is Associated with Postoperative Delirium After Cardiac Surgery in Patients Over 65 Years of Age
(FORUM MULTIMEDIA PUBLISHING, LLC, 2020)Introduction: Delirium after cardiac surgery is a devastating and important complication. Delirium is defined as "disturbance in attention (i.e., reduced ability to direct, focus, sustain, and shift attention) and awareness ... -
Subclinical Hypothyroidism Increases the Requirement of Renal Replacement Therapy After Cardiac Surgery
(FORUM MULTIMEDIA PUBLISHING, LLC, 2020)Background: Subclinical or biochemically diagnosed hypothyroidism (SCH) is defined as an elevated serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) with normal free thyroxine (FT4) levels. Thyroid hormones play a major role in the ... -
Effects of mesenchymal stem cell and amnion membrane transfer on prevention of pericardial adhesions
(WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2020)Background: To investigate and compare the antiadhesive/antifibrotic effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and amnion membrane transfer (AMT) in a rat model. Material and methods: Three experimental and sham groups were ... -
Mesenchymal stem cells have significant anti-infective effect on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis vascular graft infections
(Turkish Joint Diseases Foundation, 2019)Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effects of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) implantation on vascular graft infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) and compare with antibiotic ... -
Clinical Manifestations in Patients with Segmental Hypoplasia of Great Saphenous Vein
(Kuwait Medical Assoc, 2017)Objectives: Segmental hypoplasia of the great saphenous vein (GSV) is a common condition which may cause chronic venous insufficiency. Despite the high incidence thereof, few studies have investigated GSV hypoplasia. We ... -
Mid-term results in the treatment of varicose veins with N-butyl cyanoacrylate
(Sage Publications Inc, 2017)Aim To present mid-term results of patients with varicose veins treated with N-butyl cyanoacrylate (VariClose (R)), a nontumescent endovenous ablation technique. Patients and method Endovenous ablation was performed on 180 ... -
Novel Ultrafiltration Technique for Blood Conservation in Cardiac Operations
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2013)Purpose. The performance characteristics and clinical outcome of a novel hemoconcentrator, the HemoSep (Brightwake, Nottingham, United Kingdom), for reusing salvaged blood postoperatively were evaluated. Description. HemoSep ... -
Isolation, culturing and characterization of rat adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells: a simple technique
(Tubitak Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2012)In this study, our aim was to develop a new simple technique for isolation of mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue. For this purpose, mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from rat adipose tissue by using the primary ... -
Clinical evaluation of leukocyte filtration as an alternative anti-inflammatory strategy to aprotinin in high-risk patients undergoing coronary revascularization
(Springer, 2012)Purpose The use of aprotinin in cardiac surgery is associated with overriding safety concerns. Therefore, there is increased research on alternatives. This study investigated the relative benefits of strategic leukofiltration ... -
Perioperative blood conservation strategies in pediatric patients undergoing open-heart surgery: impact of non-autologous blood transfusion and surface-coated extracorporeal circuits
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2011)Background: The aim of this study was to explore the relative clinical and biomaterial effects of blood transfusions (Tx) and novel low-prime, surface-coated circuitry on perioperative outcome in a pediatric population ... -
Cardiopulmonary bypass technologies
(Woodhead Publ Ltd, 2010)Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has revolutionized our ability to operate on the heart, great vessels, and aorta in addition to providing means of short-term support for reversible causes of cardiac and/or respiratory failure. ... -
Clinical performance and biocompatibility of hyaluronan-based heparin-bonded extracorporeal circuits in different risk cohorts
(Oxford Univ Press, 2010)This prospective randomized study compares novel hyaluronan-based heparin-bonded circuits vs. uncoated controls across EuroSCORE patient risk strata including biomaterial evaluation. Over a two-year period, 90 patients ... -
Clinical and biomaterial evaluation of hyaluronan-based heparin-bonded extracorporeal circuits with reduced versus full systemic anticoagulation in reoperation for coronary revascularization
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2009)Objective This prospective randomized study compares full and reduced heparinization on novel hyaluronan-based heparin-bonded circuits vs. uncoated controls under challenging clinical setting including biomaterial evaluation. ... -
Clinical evaluation of minimized extracorporeal circulation in high-risk coronary revascularization: impact on air handling, inflammation, hemodilution and myocardial function
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2009)Objective: We examined intraoperative microembolic signals (GME), inflammatory response, hemolysis, perioperative regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO(2)), myocardial protection and desorbed protein amount on oxygenator ... -
Clinical efficacy of leukofiltration on cardiopulmonary bypass related inflammatory response: Fact or Foe?
(Springer Basel Ag, 2009)The powerful precept of preoperative risk assessment has been applied to compare the efficacy of leukofiltration techniques for high-risk cohorts with the documentation of broad indicators of systemic inflammation. Forty ... -
Clinical and biomaterial evaluation of a new condensed dual-function extracorporeal circuit in reoperation for coronary artery bypass surgery
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2009)Purpose: This prospective, randomized study compared the clinical performance of three types of circuits: a newly introduced, fully-coated, interchangeable open-closed circuit with a dual configuration (hard shell with a ... -
