    (2021) Ozkalayci, Flora; Kocabas, Umut; Altun, Betul U.; Pandi Perumal, Seithikurippu; Altun, Armagan; 0000-0002-3233-8263; 33654615; ABB-5844-2020
    Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The coronary atherosclerotic process involves different pathological mechanisms; inflammation is one of the major triggers for the development of atherosclerotic plaque. Although several studies showed the favorable effects of melatonin on the cardiovascular system (CVS), melatonin seems not to take its rightful place in today's clinical practice. This review aims to point out the role of melatonin on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its' risk factors. All data were obtained via PuhMed, Wikipedia, and Google.

    Pericarditis due to an unusual microorganism in an immunocompromised patient
    (2019) Ozkalayci, Flora; Aydin, Mehtap; Altay, Hakan; Kocabas, Umut; Pehlivanoglu, Seckin; 0000-0001-6424-9399; 31483309; AAG-5856-2020
    A 77-year-old man with a past medical history of myelodysplastic syndrome, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and chronic atrial fibrillation presented at the hematology outpatient clinic with progressive shortness of breath, weakness, and chest and back pain. Echocardiography was performed and the patient was diagnosed with severe pericardial effusion near the right ventricle. Pericardial drainage was performed. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was isolated from the pericardial fluid. Complications of respiratory and renal failure developed during follow-up. The clinical and laboratory findings of vegetation on the tricuspid valve, pericardial effusion, and atrial fibrillation with a low heart rate suggested possible pancarditis. A multidisciplinary treatment approach with the cardiology and infectious disease departments was critical to successful management of this case.
