C-reactive protein as a pre-procedural predictor of early and late outcomes of percutaneous coronary interventions
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Springer New York, 2003)To examine the predictive value of pre-procedural CRP level in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) regardless of having unstable or stable angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. Blood sampling for CRP measurement in patients undergoing PCI: 116 consecutive patients who underwent single vessel PCI were evaluated. Exclusion criteria were multilesion PCI, total occlusion, left ventricular ejection fraction < 30%, left bundle branch block and intercurrent inflammatory ...

Comparison of the BBL-mycobacteria growth indicator tube method with culture in the diagnosis of tuberculosis and evaluation of the resistance patterns of isolated strains to four major drugs
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Karger, 2002)The BBL-mycobacteria growth indicator tube system (MGIT) is used for a rapid detection of the presence of mycobacteria. Our study aimed to compare MGIT with the Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) reference method in clinical samples with suspected pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis and to evaluate the primary and secondary resistance patterns by determining the resistances of the isolated strains to four major anti mycobacteria I drugs. 648 clinical samples from different clinics with suspected pulmonary ...

Investigation of transfusion transmitted viruses in cases clinically suspected of posttransfusion hepatitis with undetermined ethiology
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2002)Transfusion transmitted viruses (TTV) were investigated in cardiac surgery cases who were previously transfused with blood and/or blood products and were suspected of having posttransfusion hepatitis (PTH) based on the results of physical examination clinical findings biochemical blood test results and in a smaller number on radiological results. They were identified as having non-A-C hepatitis based on serological or molecular test methods. In this study out of 90 cases suspected for PTH and ...

Prospective evaluation of platelets prepared by single and random methods during 5 days of storage: aspects related to quality and quantity
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2002)Platelets which have an important role in hemostatic mechanisms and which were prepared by single and random methods were investigated to measure quantity and aggregation response during 5 days of storage. The aggregation response and quantitative values of platelet concentrates (PCs) 60 of which were prepared by a single donor method and 62 by a random method were investigated during the 1st 3rd and 5th days of storage. The single donor platelets (SDP) were obtained by using the MCS Plus apheresis ...

The evaluation of microbial contamination in platelet concentrates prepared by two different methods
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2001)The microbial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared by two different methods both with a high risk of bacterial contamination during preparation and storage were evaluated. For apheresis platelets the concentrates were obtained using the Haemonetics MCS 3P device. For the random method platelets were obtained by two phase centrifugation in the Heraeus Cryofuge 8500 I device using the Kansuk 3-way bags which permit storage for five days. 1620 platelet pheresis units prepared by ...
