Cough-Induced Rib Fracture: a Case Report
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2015) Sünnetçioğlu, A.; Batur, A.
Coughing is a crucial defense mechanism that prevents the entry of foreign material into the tracheobronchial tree. It is generally self-limited and uncomplicated, but complications may develop especially when the cough is violent and paroxysmal. Rib fractures are one of these complications. In this case report, we describe a cough-induced rib fracture. © 2015, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.
Examination of Atypical Located Hydatid Cyst Disease in Eastern Turkey
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2016) Bora, G.; Sünnetçioğlu, A.; Sünnetçioğlu, M.; Bora, A.; Yılmaz, Ö.; Çim, N.; Baran, A.İ.
The hydatid cyst disease is a zoonotic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It usually causes infection in the liver and lungs. To a lesser extent, it may cause infection in the spleen, heart, bones and central nervous system. In this study, serological examination of hydatid cyst cases showing localization out of liver and lungs has been aimed. The clinical, radiological, and serological findings of a total 435 patients included to the examination between May 2010 and 2013, have been evaluated together. The indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test results were retrospectively scanned from hospital database of 288 patients among those who have received treatment because of hydatid cyst. The findings have been evaluated statistically through Chi-square trend analysis method according to ages and their localizations. According to the data obtained, 12 (7.2%) of 288 patients showing atypical localization in IHA (Indirect hemagglutination) results were positive and 13(9.6%) of them were found negative (p=3.393). According to the IHA results of 263 patients showing localization in liver and lungs 151 of them were positive and 112 of them were negative (p=3.393). The hydatid cyst is a disease that can be seen in every age range, besides, atypical localizations can also be seen in any age range. In terms of protecting public health, the public’s awareness should be raised and a greater emphasis on prevention methods are needed. © 2017 Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.

A Giant Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura: A Case Report
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2015) Sünnetçioğlu, A.; Batur, A.; Ekin, S.; Bayram, İ.
Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura (SFPT) are rare neoplasms and can have giant diameters. Immunohistochemical analysis has confirmed that SFPTs originate from the mesenchyme underlying the mesothelial layer of the pleura. SFPTs are usually asymptomatic. However, larger tumors occupying larger spaces in the thoracic cavity present more commonly with symptoms like dyspnea or chest pain. In this case report, we present a giant SFPT in a 71-year-old woman who presented with chest pain on the left side and progressive dyspnea over the previous 4 years. © 2015, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.

Platelet Distribution With Is a Usable Parameter in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Severity
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2020) Çilingir, B.M.; Sünnetçioğlu, A.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic inflammatory disease with a high mortality and morbidity rate. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship of hematological parameters including the MPV, PDW and RDW with the severity of COPD. We retrospectively enrolled patients with the diagnosis of COPD who were admitted to our Pulmonary Diseases Department. A total of 201 patients with COPD, diagnosed according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria, were included in the study. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to the severity of COPD: group A (mild), group B (mild to moderate), group C (moderate to severe), and group D (severe). 159 healthy subjects without any risk factors or chronic diseases who were admitted to our outpatient clinics were included as control. There was statistically significant difference in PDW values between patients with COPD and controls (p =0. 001). There was no statistically significant difference in MPV values and RDW rates between patients with COPD and controls (p = 0.591, p = 0.677 respectively). Patients in the severe COPD group were older, more often were male, had higher hematocrit values. There were no statistically significant differences in MPV, PDW, and RDW values in the severity of COPD (p=0.639, p=0.082, p=0.662 respectively). PDW could be used an indicator of hypoxemia, underlying inflammation, and oxidative stress. It could be considered as a new marker in the determination of inflammation in COPD patients with rapid, inexpensive, easily measurable properties with routine CBC analysis. Morover, measurement of changes in PDW value during follow-up can be used to assess the inflammatory response. © 2020, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.
