    (2015) Yabanoglu, Hakan; Aliskan, Hikmet Eda; Caliskan, Kenan; Arer, Ilker; Akdur, Aydincan; Yildirim, Sedat; Moray, Gokhan; Haberal, Mehmet; 0000-0002-1161-3369; 0000-0002-8726-3369; 0000-0002-5735-4315; 0000-0001-9060-3195; 0000-0002-8767-5021; 0000-0002-3462-7632; 0000-0003-0268-8999; 0000-0003-2498-7287; 26640902; AAJ-7865-2021; AAA-3068-2021; AAF-4610-2019; AAE-2282-2021; AAJ-7201-2021; AAJ-8097-2021; AAK-2011-2021; AAE-1041-2021
    Objectives: This study aimed to compare renal transplant recipients with and without infection with respect to demographic and clinical characteristics as well as risk factors; to determine the incidence of posttransplant infections; and to study the antibiotic resistance patterns of bacterial species identified as the causative organisms in posttransplant infections. Materials and Methods: This study included a total of 136 patients undergoing renal transplant in a 4-year period. The patients were categorized into 2 groups. The 2 groups were compared with each other with respect to general clinical and demographic variables and the number and frequency of infectious attacks within a 1-year follow-up, infection type, and antibiotic resistance patterns. Results: Ninety-two (67.6%) of the subjects were male and 44 (32.4%) were female. A total of 57 (41.9%) patients developed 128 infectious attacks. Urinary tract infections were the most common infections (42.1%). There was a significant correlation between a clinically relevant urinary culture proliferation and postoperative infection rate (P =.002). There was a significant correlation between antimicrobial resistance and the number of infectious attacks (P =.023). There was a significant correlation between the proliferation of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase-positive Enterobactericeae species and the number of infectious attacks (P =.000). Conclusions: Presence of a clinically relevant proliferation in the preoperative urinary culture, which was identified as a risk factor for infection, increased the number of infectious attacks. Moreover, Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase-positive Enterobactericeae species increased the number of infections. These 2 principle results should be taken into account in patient management.

    Assessment of Atrial Fibrillation and Ventricular Arrhythmia Risk after Bariatric Surgery by P Wave/QT Interval Dispersion
    (2018) Yilmaz, Mustafa; Altin, Cihan; Tekin, Abdullah; Erol, Tansel; Arer, Ilker; Nursal, Tarik Zafer; Torer, Nurkan; Erol, Varlik; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; 0000-0002-3628-4661; 0000-0002-5658-870X; 0000-0002-2557-9579; 0000-0002-9635-6313; 28900850; AAN-5153-2021; ABD-7304-2021; IQV-1169-2023; S-6973-2016; AAG-8233-2020
    The association of obesity with atrial fibrillation (AF) and with ventricular arrhythmias is well documented. The aim of this study was to investigate whether weight reduction by a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has any effect on P wave dispersion (PWD), a predictor of AF, and corrected QT interval dispersion (CQTD), a marker of ventricular arrhythmias, in obese individuals. In a prospective study, a total of 114 patients (79 females, 35 males) who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were examined. The patients were followed 1 year. PWD and CQTD values before and 3rd, 6th, and 12th months after the surgery were calculated and compared. There was a statistically significant decline in body mass index (BMI), PWD, and CQTD values among baseline, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). Correlation analysis showed a statistically significant correlation between Delta PWD and Delta BMI (r = 0.719, p < 0.001), Delta PWD and Delta left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (r = 0.291, p = 0.002), Delta PWD and Delta left atrial diameter (LAD) (r = 0.65, p < 0.001), Delta CQTD and Delta BMI (r = 0.266, p = 0.004), Delta CQTD and Delta LVEDD (r = 0.35, p < 0.001), Delta CQTD and Delta LAD (r = 0.289, p = 0.002). In multiple linear regression analysis, there was a statistically significant relationship between Delta PWD and Delta BMI (beta = 0.713, p < 0.001), Delta PWD and Delta LVEDD (beta = 0.174, p = 0.016), Delta PWD and Delta LAD (beta = 0.619, p < 0.001), Delta CQTD and Delta BMI (beta = 0.247, p = 0.011), Delta CQTD and Delta LVEDD (beta = 0.304, p < 0.001), Delta CQTD and Delta LAD (beta = 0.235, p = 0.009). PWD and CQTD values of patients were shown to be attenuated after bariatric surgery. These results indirectly offer that there may be a reduction in risk of AF, ventricular arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death after obesity surgery.

    The Role of Choice-Lock Catheter and Trocar Technique in Percutaneous Ablation of Symptomatic Renal Cysts
    (2014) Ozkan, Burak; Harman, Ali; Emiroglu, Baris; Arer, Ilker; Aytekin, Cuneyt; 25035702
    Background: The most common benign lesions of the kidney are simple cysts. They are acquired lesions and mostly affect the elderly population. Objectives: To describe the usage of choice-lock catheter and trocar technique in percutaneous renal cyst treatment and determining long-term outcomes. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out between February 2000 and July 2011 Eighty-eight cysts all of which were Bosniak type-1 cysts were selected in 75 patients. The treatment indications were flank pain, hydronephros is and hypertension. The choice-lock catheter was used for 84 cysts with the trocar technique. Ninety-five percent ethanol was used as the sclerosing agent. Maximum volume of the injected ethanol was 175 ml. The mean follow-up time after the treatment procedure was 23 months. Sixty-four cysts were located in the cortical and 24 cysts were located at the parapelvic region. Results: Fifty-seven cysts had complete regression, while 31 cysts regressed partially After the procedure, pain was relieved in 44 (82%) patients and the pain alleviated in four (8%). Normotension was obtained in five (62.5%) of the eight hypertensive patients and no hydronephrosis was detected in nine patients. There were no relationship between the localization and the regression rate. No major complications occurred. Conclusions: Percutaneous ethanol sclerotheraphy in simple cysts is a safe, cost-effective and minimally invasive method. We consider that this technique may be an alternative solution in the percutaneous cyst treatment.
