In this well designed research, Izci et al studied QT dispersion (QTd) and P-wave dispersion (Pd) in patients with conversion disorder (CD). In conclusion, they reported that corrected QT (QTc) and QTd values were significantly altered in patients with CD when compared to healthy controls, but that there was no significant difference in terms of Pd.Read the original articl
Spontaneous left main coronary artery dissection
No full textSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a very rare clinical condition. Physiopathology of SCAD is still mostly unclear. Clinical presentation of SCAD ranges from atypical symptoms to sudden cardiac death. The diagnosis of dissection is generally made by using conventional coronary angiography. Invasive or conservative treatment is reasonable
Previous hospitalizations predict both hospital readmissions and mortality in patients with heart failure
No full textPercutaneous endovascular therapy for symptomatic chronic total occlusion of the left subclavian artery
No full textCONCLUSION Balloon angioplasty and stenting for chronic total occlusion of the left subclavian artery is safe and effective, with good acute success rate and mid-term patency. Prospective randomised studies on larger patient populations would provide more precise results
Percutaneous approach to the treatment of a totally occluded abdominal aortic stent graft
No full textAorto femoral bypass is usually the recommended therapy for diffuse disease involving the aorta and iliac arteries. In this case report, a case involving a chronic endovascular abdominal aortic stent graft occlusion in which percutaneous angioplasty was performed via a transbrachial and transfemoral approach is presented. This case emphasized that occlusion of an endovascular abdominal aortic stent graft can also be treated, primarily, with an endovascular technique

Clinical presentation of SCAD ranges from atypical symptoms to sudden cardiac death. The diagnosis of dissection is generally made by using conventional coronary angiography.

Independently from mitral regurgitation, Barlow disease may cause left ventricular enlargement and thereby anticipation of surgery
No full textDrinking Water Quality of a Rice Land in Turkey by Statistical and GIS Perspectives
No full textThis study was carried out to determine the drinking water quality of ipsala District, known as Rice Land in Turkey. Water samples were collected from 23 stations, including all the residential areas in winter 2013. Some physical, chemical, and microbiological water quality parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, turbidity, nitrite, nitrate, ammonium, sulfate, phosphate, chloride, fluoride, and biological oxygen demand) were determined and some multi-statistical methods were applied to detected data. The geographic information system was also used in order to make a visual explanation by presenting distribution maps of investigated parameters, and groundwater samples were assessed according to national and international quality criteria. According to data observed, although the investigated parameter levels in ground water of ipsala District did not exceed the limit values for drinking, the region has class II-III (Turkish Regulations) groundwater quality in terms of nitrite and nitrate parameters in general.Trakya University, Turkey; Trakya University, Commission of Scientific Research Projects [2013/73]The author would like to thank for Trakya University, Turkey financial and technical supports.
