Letter Benidipine Hydrochloride Intoxication in a Child(Elsevier Science inc, 2012) Akbayram, Sinan; Akgun, Cihangir; Dogan, Murat; Geylani, Hadi; Sari, Nesim; Taskin, Alparslan Gokmen; Caksen, HuseyinArticle Global Fibrinolytic Capacity in Neonatal Sepsis(Sage Publications inc, 2011) Peker, Erdal; Akbayram, Sinan; Geylani, Hadi; Dogan, Murat; Kirimi, ErcanIn this study, we studied global fibrinolytic capacity (GFC) in newborn infants with sepsis. Sixty-one newborn infants, admitted to neonatal intensive care unit at Yuzuncu Yil University Hospital were enrolled in this study. White blood cell count, immature (I) / mature (M) neutrophil ratios, prothrombin time, and d-dimer levels were significantly higher in patient group than those of control group (P < .05). We found GFC to be significantly lower in the patient group compared to the control group (P < .05). The GFC value was negatively correlated to the Tollner scores but this correlation was not statistically significant (r = -.267, P = .095). Our findings showed that GFC decreases in severe neonatal sepsis; therefore, we suggest that GFC may be used for prognosis or in the early prediction of severe sepsis rather than the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.
