A Case: Abscess Formation in the Sub-Tenon’s Space After Strabismus Surgery
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2017) Batur, M.; Seven, E.; Gül, A.; Çağlar, Ç.; Yaşar, T.
A five-year-old boy was examined in follow-up in our strabismus department due to exotropia and amblyopia in the right eye. Recession to both lateral recti muscles was performed. When the patient was examined one week, postoperatively, he complained of pain in the right eye. Upon physical examination, hyperemia and minimal swelling of the surgical area were observed. The situation was diagnosed as an abscess. The abscess was drained and the eye was irrigated with cefazolin and gentamicin solutions. All signs and symptoms were determined to be resolved in subsequent postoperative visits. © 2017, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.

Determination of the Status of Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidants in Cattle Infected With Dictyocaulus Viviparus
(2008) Deǧer, S.; Deǧer, Y.; Ertekin, A.; Gül, A.; Biçek, K.; Ozdal, N.
Endoparasites cause significant economic losses and health problems in domestic animals. In this study, lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant status were investigated in the lung tissue taken from twenty cattle infected with Dictyocaulus viviparus and ten healthy cattle. Malondialdehyde superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, vitamin C and beta-carotene were measured. In comparison to the control group, the concentration of MDA was high (p < 0.001), but the activities of Cu-Zn-SOD and CAT, and the concentration of GSH, vitamin C and beta-carotene were low (Cu-Zn-SOD, CAT, GSH, vitamin C, p < 0.001 and beta-carotene p < 0.05) in the parasite infected group. These results suggested that endoparasitic infection is among the major causes of oxidative stress. Lipid peroxidation was observed and the activities and concentrations of antioxidants systems were decreased in the lungs of cattle infected with Dictyocaulus viviparus.
Evaluation of the Anthelmentic Activity of Garlic (Allium Sativum) in Mice Naturally Infected With Aspiculuris Tetraptera
(2008) Ayaz, E.; Türel, I.; Gül, A.; Yilmaz, O.
This study was performed to investigate the anthelmentic (nematodes) effect of garlic in Swiss albino mice naturally infected with Aspiculuris tetraptera. Natural infection was determined by the use of cellophane tape method on the perianal region and by the technique of centrifugal flotation of stool samples. The infected mice were divided into three groups; namely, Group 1: garlic treatment groups (n: 18), Group 2: positive control (treated with ivermectin, n: 19) and Group 3: untreated control group (n: 19). The mice in Group 1 were given orally freshly crushed garlic homogenates every day for 7 days. The animals in Group 2 were treated with ivermectin intramuscular at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg body weight. The mice in Group 3 received only serum physiologic orally. After 8 days of administrations, all mice were killed humanely using inhalation anaesthesia and then the parasites in the intestine were counted. It was observed that garlic and ivermectin were 91.24 % and 78.03 % effective against A. tetraptera in naturally infected mice, respectively. Results obtained from this study were compared statistically and differences were found to be significant (p<0.001). It was found that garlic was efficient along the duration of the treatment in mice. Garlic may be useful as an alternative treatment against nematode parasites in animals and human. This article includes a new research using Allium sativum anthelmentic effect on mouse and has been patented. © 2008 Bentham Science Publishers Ltd.
Investigation of Cryptosporidium Sp. in Workers of the Van Municipality Slaughterhouse and in Slaughtered Animals
(2008) Ciçek, M.; Körkoca, H.; Gül, A.
This study was carried out in order to investigate the prevalence of Cryptosporidium sp. in slaughtered animals and workers of the Van municipality slaughterhouse in Van. Animals slaughtered at different times and workers who had been working in different departments of the slaughter house were included in the study for three months. A total of 309 fecal specimens from animals including 167 sheep, 56 goats and 86 cattle and 87 fecal specimens from workers were examined for Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts. In slaughtered animals, the modified acid-fast staining method was used to determine the oocysts of Cryptosporidium sp. The fecal samples of slaughter workers were examined by using RIDA (R) Quick Cryptosporidium Strip Test (R-Biopharm, Germany) and the modified acid-fast staining method. Fecal samples found to be positive by stripe test were also confirmed with the ELISA method (R-Biopharm, Germany). Oocysts of Cryptosporidium sp. were found in fecal specimens of 22 sheep (13.17%), 6 goats (10.71%) and 7 cattle (8.13%). Intestinal parasites were observed in 34 fecal specimens of workers (39.08%). Cryptosporidium sp., Hymenolepis nana, Chilomastix mesnili, Endolimax nana, Iodamoeba bütschlii were found in the specimen of one worker (1.14%), Entamoeba coli in 4 workers (4.59%), Blastocystis hominis (9.19%) in 8 workers, and Giardia intestinalis (19.54%) in 17 workers.
Investigation of the Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasites in Aviary Birds in Homes in the Van Province
(2009) Gül, A.; Ciçek, M.
This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in aviary birds in the Van province. For this purpose, fecal samples were collected from aviary birds (6 parrots, 5 nightingales, 24 canaries and 35 lovebirds) in Van. In the parasitology laboratory, seventy fecal samples were examined using the native and sedimentation technique for helminth eggs, Eimeria sp. oocysts and Giardia sp. cysts. The same samples were examined by modified-acid-fast staining for Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts. Prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was found to be 8.57% (6/70) in Van. Eimeria sp. oocysts were detected in lovebird (8.57%) and canaries (8.33%). Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts were detected only in parrots (16.67%). Helminth eggs and Giardia sp. cysts were not found in aviary birds. However no parasites were detected in nightingales.
Investigation of the Relationship Between Serum Tetrahydrobiopterin and Folic Acid Levels With Preeclampsia in the Second and Third Trimesters
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2024) Aranlı, M.A.; Uçkan, K.; Gül, A.; Başkıran, Y.; Çeleğen, İ.
Amaç: Bu çalışma, ikinci ve üçüncü trimesterdeki gebelerde serum tetrahidrobiopterin (BH4) ve folik asit düzeylerinin preeklampsi gelişimi ile ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, BH4 ve folik asit seviyelerinin preeklampsi riskini öngörmede potansiyel biyobelirteçler olabileceği hipotezine dayanmaktadır. Yöntem: Bu randomize kontrollü çalışma, Van YYÜ Dursun Odabaşı Tıp Merkezi'nde Haziran 2022 ile Şubat 2024 tarihleri arasında preeklampsi (PE) tanısı alan ve almayan toplam 160 gebe üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Katılımcılar, PE ve kontrol grubu olarak ikiye ayrıldıktan sonra, folik asit kullanımı durumlarına göre alt gruplara bölündü. Bu şekilde, toplamda dört grup oluştu: PE olmayıp folik asit kullanmayan, PE olmayıp folik asit kullanan, PE olup folik asit kullanmayan ve PE olup folik asit kullanan gruplar. Katılımcıların demografik özellikleri (yaş, gestasyonel yaş, gravida, VKİ) ve çeşitli laboratuvar parametreleri (kan basıncı, hemoglobin, PLT, karaciğer enzimleri, kreatinin, homosistein, albumin, total protein, idrarda protein, BH4, biopterin, NO, folat, vitamin B12) kaydedildi ve gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: PE grubunda kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı derecede yüksek kan basıncı, düşük albumin ve total protein seviyeleri ve yüksek idrarda protein miktarı olduğunu gösterdi. Ayrıca, PE grubunda BH4 seviyeleri kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı derecede düşüktü. Folik asit kullanımı açısından bakıldığında ise, kullanmayan grupta kullanan gruba göre anlamlı derecede düşük folat ve hemoglobin seviyeleri gözlendi. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, preeklampsi gelişimi ile serum BH4 ve folik asit düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Preeklamptik gebelerde BH4 seviyelerinin düşük olduğu ve folik asit kullanımının folat ve hemoglobin seviyelerini olumlu yönde etkilediği bulunmuştur. Bu bulgular, BH4 ve folik asitin preeklampsi patogenezinde rol oynayabileceğini ve preeklampsi riskini değerlendirmede potansiyel biyobelirteçler olarak kullanılabileceğini düşündürmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Preeklampsi, tetrahidrobiyopterin, folik asit
Orbita Breast Metastasis
(TIP ARASTIRMALARI DERNEGI, 2008) Gül, A.; Kiliç, A.; Çinal, A.; Avcu, S.; Yaşar, T.
Breast carcinomas are among the most frequent metastatic lesions of the orbit. Diagnosing the disease earlier is of great importance in maximising the life quality of the patient. We report a 35-year-old-female with a retroorbital mass due to the metastases from her left breast invasive ductal carcinoma. Pre-existing malignant diseases should be considered in differential diagnoses of external ophthalmoplegia, central retinal vein occlusion, optic nerve meningioma, and proptosis. The ophthalmologists should be aware that eye, particularly orbita breast metastases may be easily overlooked and a late diagnosis would not work.

(2008) Gül, A.; Aydin, A.
The aim of this investigation was to determine the prevalence of distomatosis in 267 hair goats which were slaughtered in the slaughterhouses belonging to butchers located in Yüksekova district of Hakkari province. In the study, distomatosis were detected in 165 (61.80%) of the 267 hair goats. Distomatosis was found in 20/98 (20.41%) hair goats which were younger than one year old and in 145/169 (85.80%) which were older than one year. It was found that the species most often responsible were Fasciola hepatica (41.21%) and Dicrocoelium dendriticum (42.42%). Mixed infections (F. hepatica+D. dendriticum) were found only in hair goats older than one year (13.94 %). In this investigation, Fasciola gigantica was found to infect only the ones older than one year (2.76%).
A Rare Case of Pelvic Castleman’s Disease Mimicking an Adnexal Tumor
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2018) Karaman, E.; Ateş, Ç.; Kolusarı, A.; Alkış, İ.; Şahin, H.G.; Gül, A.; Demir, F.
Castleman’s disease (CD) is described as a nodal lympho-follicular hyperplasia and mostly seen in thoracic cavity. The occurrence in pelvic cavity is very rare. It is usually mimicking the pelvic adnexal solid-heterogenous tumoral mass. So the preoperative diagnosis is mostly difficult. We now present a case of pelvic CD in a woman who complaint from pelvic pain. The patient underwent laparotomy with suspicious of adnexal tumor. However, the diagnosis was made at histopathologic examination postoperatively. The surgery was curative in this case and no recu rrence was observed in the patient. © 2018, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.
Renal Artery Embolism on the Contralateral Kidney After a Radical Nephrectomy
(Logos Medical Publishing, 2018) Gül, A.; Yentür, S.; Özgökçe, M.
Renal artery occlusion results commonly from thromboembolism to renal artery from distant vascular system. Hyperhomocysteinemia is one of the hereditary hypercoagulability reasons. In order to elicit ethiology in the cases of arterial thrombosis, necessity of hypercoagulopathy screening tests is still controversial. Diagnosis of renal artery thromboembolism should be remembered in the patients who develop postoperative anuria and renal angiographic intervention must be performed immediately for thrombolytic therapy after renovascular imaging. We report a case of a 54-year-old woman with renal artery embolism on the contralateral kidney due to hyperhomocysteinemia after an open left radical nephrectomy. © 2018, Logos Medical Publishing.
