Functional and Radiological Impairment in Women Highly Exposed To Indoor Biomass Fuels
(2001) Özbay, B.; Uzun, K.; Arslan, H.; Zehir, I.
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the lung function and the computed tomographic features in a selected group of non-smoking women with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and biomass fuel exposure. Methodology: Thirty female patients currently exposed to biomass smoke were prospectively investigated for further evaluation using high resolution computed tomography (HRCT), pulmonary function tests and blood gas analysis. Results: The mean age was 59±11 years. The patients were exposed to biomass smoke for 37.4± 10 years. Pulmonary function tests revealed severe obstruction. The most common HRCT findings were increased lung volume or diffuse emphysema, thickening of interlobular septae, focal emphysematous areas, increased cardiothoracic ratio, and increased bronchovascular arborization. Conclusion: Biomass fuel has deleterious effects on pulmonary function and structure leading to obstructive and restrictive pathologies.
Larinks Tüberkülozu
(2002) Çankaya, H.; Uğraş, S.; Özbay, B.; Kutluhan, A.; Kiriş, M.
Larinks tüberkülozu giderek azalmakla birlikte halen görülmeye devam eden bir hastalıktır. Ses kısıklığı yanında ağrılı yutma güçlüğü yakınması olan olgularda da düşünülmelidir. Genellikle akciğer tüberkülozunun bir komplikasyonu olmasına karşın, bazen tek başına da görülebilmektedir. Larinks karsinomu ve diğer granülomatöz hastalıklar ile bu hastalığın ayırıcı tanısının yapılması önem arz etmektedir.
Misplacements of Central Venous Catheters: Internal Jugular Versus Subclavian Access in Critical Care Patients
(TIP ARASTIRMALARI DERNEGI, 2007) Tekin, M.; Özbay, B.; Kati, I.; Arslan, H.
Aim; In central venous catheterization (CVC), misplacement is not a rare complication since this is a blinded procedure. The aim of this study was to compare the misplacement risks of the access of internal jugular vein with that of subclavian vein catheterizations. Methods;The records of a total of 1092 patients in whom central venous catheters were placed between 2002 and 2006 in Anesthesiology Intensive Care Unit and the location of the tips was confirmed radiologically were retrospectively evaluated. Neck and infraclavicular region were cleaned by antiseptic solution after routine monitorization. CVC were easily inserted with Seldinger's technique after blood aspiration through internal jugular vein or subclavian vein. Results; In adult patients, six internal jugular catheter misplacements were seen (0.80%); among them five were kinking and one was intrapleural location of the catheter tip. Six subclavian misplacements (2.02 %) were detected, five of them were located in contralateral subclavian vein, and one was located in ipsilateral internal jugular vein. In children, two subclavian misplacements were seen as crossing to contraleteral subclavian vein, and there were no internal jugular misplacement. There was no statistically difference for misplacement between the access sites (in adult p= 0.110, in children p=0.501). Conclusion; We have concluded that experience of operator should be taken into account for choice of catheterization site.

Prevalence of Chronic Bronchitis-Asthma Symptoms in Biomass Fuel Exposed Females
(Japanese Society for Hygiene, 2003) Uzun, K.; Özbay, B.; Ceylan, E.; Gencer, M.; Zehir, I.
Objectives: We investigated whether exposure to biomass fuel is a potential risk factor for chronic bronchitis and asthma among females in rural area in Van (east Turkey). Methods: The effect of indoor pollution producing various respiratory symptoms was studied in 177 females. Of these, 90 were those who used biomass fuel and 87 were nonusers of biomass fuel. A part of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey quastionnaire and British Medical Research Council questionnaire were used. Results: Asthma related symptoms (AS) (wheezing, and combination of wheezing without a cold and wheezing with breathlessness) were reported in 63.3% of those who used biomass fuel, and in 12.9% of nonusers (p<0.0001). The use of asthma medication was reported as 3.3% of biomass fuel users, and in 2.7% of nonuser (p>0.05). Long term cough and/or morning cough together with sputum (chronic bronchitis symptoms (BS) was reported as 58.9% in the user group, and 29.4% in the nonuser group (p<0.0001). Significant differences in AS and BS were found between biomass fuel user and nonuser groups in the rural area. Conclusions: The results of this study showed a significant association between symptoms of chronic bronchitis-asthma and biomass fuel usage in females living in a rural area.
