Publication Predictors for the risk and severity of post-thrombotic syndrome in vascular Behcet's disease(Elsevier, 2021-02-04) Aksoy, Aysun; Çolak, Seda; Yağız, Burcu; Coşkun, Belkıs Nihan; Omma, Ahmet; Yıldız, Yasin; Sarı, Alper; Ataş, Nuh; Ilgın, Can; Karadağ, Ömer; Erden, Abdulsamet; Dalkılıç, Ediz; Bolca, Naile; Ergelen, Rabia; Onur, Mehmet Ruhi; Direskeneli, Haner; Alibaz-Öner, Fatma; YAĞIZ, BURCU; COŞKUN, BELKIS NİHAN; BOLCA TOPAL, NAİLE; DALKILIÇ, HÜSEYİN EDİZ; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/İç Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı/Romatoloji Bilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-0298-4157; JQW-5031-2023; AAG-7155-2021; CMF-4757-2022 ; EKW-9201-2022Objective: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities is the most common form of vascular involvement in Behcet disease (BD), frequently leading to post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) as a disabling complication. We have described the clinical characteristics and predictors of PTS presence among patients with BD and lower extremity DVT. We also used venous Doppler ultrasound (US) examinations in our assessment. Methods: Patients with BD (n = 205; 166 men, 39 women; age 39 6 9.5 years) and a history of DVT were investigated. The Villalta scale was used to assess the presence and severity of PTS. Doppler US examinations were performed within 1 week of the clinical evaluation. The total number of vessels with reflux, thrombi, recanalization, and collateral vessels were calculated. Results: Of the 205 patients with BD, 62% had had PTS and 18% had had severe PTS. Patients with PTS had had greater reflux (P = .054) and thrombosis (P = .02) scores compared with patients without PTS. Treatment with anticoagulation (AC), immunosuppressive (IS) therapy, or AC combined with IS drugs did not affect the occurrence of PTS. However, patients treated with IS therapy, with or without AC drugs, had a decreased incidence of severe PTS compared with the AC-only group (P = .017). Patients treated with AC plus IS agents also had increased collateral scores compared with patients treated with only IS drugs. Interferon-a use seemed to provide better recanalization scores compared with azathioprine only (1.0 [range, 0-14] vs 2.5 [range, 0-10]; P = .010). Conclusions: Patients with BD and DVT have a high risk of developing severe PTS. IS treatment decreases the development of severe PTS. AC therapy might influence the course of PTS by increasing the collateral scores, and the use of interferon-a also increased recanalization scores. Routine assessment with Doppler US examinations could be helpful in the prediction of severe PTS.Publication The relationship between visfatin and carotid atherosclerosis in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease(Oxford Univ Press, 2015-05-01) Ayar, Yavuz; Ersoy, Alparslan; Sayılar, Emel Işıktaş; Yıldız, Abdülmecit; Pektaş, Fatih; Tüysüz, Özlem; Yavuz, Mahmut; Topal, Naile Bolca; Dirican, Melahat; Arslan, Ismail; Ateş, Çiğdem Aksu Coşkun; Ayar, Yavuz; ERSOY, ALPARSLAN; Sayılar, Emel Işıktaş; YILDIZ, ABDULMECİT; Pektaş, Fatih; Tüysüz, Özlem; YAVUZ, MAHMUT; BOLCA TOPAL, NAİLE; Dirican, Melahat; Arslan, İsmail; Ateş, Çiğdem Aksu Coşkun; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Nefroloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Tıbbi Biyokimya Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dahili Tıp Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-4607-9220; 0000-0002-1539-9216; HIG-9032-2022 ; O-9948-2015; AAI-2327-2021; W-2575-2017; GSE-0029-2022; AGF-0767-2022; AAH-5054-2021; JDU-0150-2023; ECR-6289-2022; EHM-7377-2022; ESK-6562-2022; JML-0742-2023; IIU-0465-2023Publication Spontaneous remission of acromegaly due to apoplexy(Galenos Yayincilik, 2008-01-01) Duran, Cevdet; Ersoy, Canan; ERSOY, CANAN; Kıyıcı, Sinem; Bolca, Naile; BOLCA TOPAL, NAİLE; ERTÜRK, ERDİNÇ; İmamoğlu, Sazi; Tuncel, Ercan; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Endokrinoloji Anabilim Dalı.; ursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-9560-180X; AAJ-6536-2021; AAH-8861-2021Pituitary apoplexy is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by sudden onset of headache and vomiting, accompanied by visual disturbance or ocular motility impairment and pituitary insufficiency. Pituitary apoplexy presenting with these symptoms is seen in approximately 3% of patients with surgically treated pituitary adenomas. In acromegalic patients, apoplexy can be related to some provocating factors and rarely may be spontaneous. We present the case of an acromegalic patient with spontaneous remission after apoplexy. A 39-year-old male patient had transsphenoidal microsurgery for acromegaly in 1994 but remission was not achieved. After a 10-year period without follow-up, he experienced severe headache, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and visual disturbance in July 2005 and scheduled an appointment with an ophthalmologist. His complaints ceased spontaneously within weeks. In October 2005, sellar MRI examination revealed a 3x2.5 cm mass of adenomatous tissue with necrosis. On admission to our clinic in November 2005, visual acuity, visual fields, and ocular motility, were normal; but results of laboratory tests revealed panhypopituitarism. He was thought to have apoplexy of a growth hormone secreting tumor, and hormone replacement therapy was initiated for panhypopituitarism. Because his symptoms had regressed, surgery was not considered. On rare occasions, acromegaly spontaneously remits after apoplexy, resulting in improved control of the functional adenoma without surgical intervention.Publication Efficacy of 0.1% tacrolimus ointment in chronic plaque psoriasis: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study(Deri Zuhrevi Hastaliklar Dernegi, 2015-01-01) Kaçar, Seval Dogruk; Kaçar, Emre; Baskan, Emel Bulbul; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; Bolca, Naile; BOLCA TOPAL, NAİLE; Adım, Sadiman Balaban; BALABAN ADIM, ŞADUMAN; Tunalı, Şükran; Sarıcaoğlu, Hayriye; SARICAOĞLU, HAYRİYE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Deri ve Zührevi Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Tıbbi Patoloji Anabilim Dalı.; JLM-2426-2023; AAH-1388-2021Background and Design: Despite the development of effective systemic treatments and new biological agents for psoriasis nowadays, topical medications are still the mainstay of treatment. Topical calcineurin inhibitors are currently used in various skin diseases. We investigated the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus, which is an alternative in topical treatment, in comparison with the present medications in plaque psoriasis.Materials and Methods: This prospective double-blind placebo-controlled study was conducted in 24 patients with the diagnosis of plaque psoriasis who were seen in Uludag University Hospital dermatology outpatient clinic. 0.1% tacrolimus ointment, 0.1% mometasone furoate ointment, 0.005% calcipotriol ointment and placebo in encrypted bottles were randomly applied under occlusion to 27 psoriatic plaques in test chambers, every other day, for a period of 19 days. Clinic sum scores, side effects, and epidermal thickness measured by superficial ultrasound were noted before and after treatment in all microplaques. Besides, histopathologic scoring and epidermal thickness were measured in 9 patients at the end of the study.Results: The clinic sum scores and ultrasonographic epidermal thickness at the end were both significantly lower than the beginning values in all microplaques (p<0.05). The reduction in these two values with tacrolimus were significantly higher than that with placebo (p<0.001), but no difference was observed with calcipotriol (p=0.287, p=0.813, respectively). On the other hand, the reduction in these values with mometasone was significantly higher than with tacrolimus (p<0.05). Mometasone furoate was the most effective when the three ointments were compared with placebo in terms of total histopathological score and epidermal thickness.Conclusion: Tacrolimus ointment applied under occlusion is an alternative topical medication in the treatment of plaque psoriasis. Occlusion in practice requires patient compliance. Thus, studies to find a new formulation that will increase absorption of drug from thick psoriatic plaques are needed.Publication Castleman's disease: Unilateral cervical involvement and imaging findings a case report(Sage Publications Inc, 2007-06-01) Atahan, S.; Hakyemez, B.; Doğan, Nurullah; HAKYEMEZ, BAHATTİN; Topal, N. B.; BOLCA TOPAL, NAİLE; Parlak, M.; PARLAK, MÜFİT; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi; 0000-0003-1455-6918; AAI-2327-2021; AAI-2318-2021; AAG-8521-2021Castleman's disease is an idiopathic lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by massive enlargement of lymph nodes. It may have a unifocal or multifocal presentation; the mediastinum is the most common site (70%). Patients with cervical disease usually have unifocal involvement (90%). The main problem posed by cervical Castleman's disease is that it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cervical tumors. This report describes a patient who had unifocal Castleman's disease on the left side of the neck, and discusses the differential diagnosis with findings on magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and ultrasonography.
