    Influence of Various Living Donor Kidney Measurements in Relation to Recipient Body Measurements on Posttransplant Allograft Functional Outcomes
    (2018) Kulah, Eyup; Ozcelik, Umit; Isiklar, Iclal; Cevik, Halime; Bircan, Huseyin Yuce; Karakayali, Feza Y.; Haberal, Mehmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6041-4254; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1073-2494; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1874-947X; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3462-7632; 27356006; AAJ-5764-2021; AAG-8651-2021; R-6394-2019; AAB-3888-2021; AAJ-8097-2021
    Objectives: Donor kidney measurements may affect outcomes of transplanted allografts. We tested allograft and recipient measurements on kidney allograft outcomes. In this study, we compared the effects of kidney allograft volumes, which were measured using computed tomographic angiography before transplant, and allograft weight, which was measured during surgery, in relation to the recipient's body weight and body mass index on kidney function at 6 and 12 months after transplant. Material and Methods: We included 74 patients (40 female and 34 male patients, mean age of 50.42 +/- 9.75 y) in this study. Results: Intraoperative allograft weight was 182.68 +/- 40.33 g (range, 104-266 g). The allograft volume measured using computed tomographic angiography scanning was 123.34 +/- 24.26 ml (range, 78-181 ml). The estimated glomerular filtration rates of the recipients at 6 and 12 months after transplant correlated negatively with age and recipient body mass index but correlated positively with allograft volume/recipient body weight, allograft volume/recipient body mass index, allograft weight, allograft weight/recipient body weight, and allograft weight/recipient body mass index values, as concluded by univariate analyses. From multivariate analyses, we found variables of interest presumed to significantly affect the 12-month estimated glomerular filtration rates, including recipient age, allograft volume/recipient body weight, allograft volume/recipient body mass index, allograft weight, allograft weight/recipient body weight, and allograft weight/recipient body mass index. Conclusions: Transplanted allograft and recipient body values may be used as predictors of estimated glomerular filtration rates 6 and 12 months after transplant.

    Rectal diverticulitis mimicking rectal carcinoma with intestinal obstruction: Case report
    (2015) Ozcelik, Umit; Bircan, Huseyin Yuce; Eren, Eryiğit; Demiralay, Ebru; Isiklar, Iclal; Demirag, Alp; Moray, Gokhan; 25698274
    Although diverticular disease of the colon is common, the occurrence of rectal diverticula is extremely rare with only sporadic reports in the literature since 1911. Symptomatic rectal diverticula are seen even less frequently, and surgical intervention is needed for only complicated cases. Here we report the case of a 63-year-old woman presenting with rectal diverticulitis mimicking rectal carcinoma with intestinal obstruction.
