Adropin and circadian variation of blood pressure
(VIA MEDICA, 2018)Background: Nocturnal hypertension and non-dipping pattern are often associated with endothelial dysfunction. Previous studies suggested that adropin, a novel secreted energy homeostasis protein, has the unique ability to ... -
Anatomic assessment of the left main bifurcation and dynamic bifurcation angles using computed tomography angiography
(VIA MEDICA, 2017)Background: An understanding of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) anatomy is important for accurate diagnosis and therapy. We aimed to investigate LMCA anatomy via 128-multisliced coronary computed-tomography-angiography ... -
Assessment of dimensions of pneumatisation of the anterior clinoid process in middle Anatolian population by computed tomography
(VIA MEDICA, 2018)Background: The anterior clinoid process (ACP) is usually removed during surgical procedures of the cellar region. The ACP may be different length and width in people; it may be also pneumatic. Therefore, we aimed to ... -
The association between serum serglycin level and coronary artery disease severity in patients with stable angina pectoris
(VIA MEDICA, 2018)Background: Serglycin plays a key role in the inflammatory status however the relationship between coronary artery disease (CAD) and serglycin is still unknown. Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate association of ... -
Determination of cerebellar volume in children and adolescents with magnetic resonance images
(VIA MEDICA, 2012)Recent studies show that the cerebellum contributes to higher cognitive functions as well as its role on motor system. It is thought that higher cognitive functions continue to develop during childhood and adolescence; ... -
Evaluation of the length and angulation of the styloid process in the patient with pre-diagnosis of Eagle syndrome
(VIA MEDICA, 2011)Clinical symptoms caused by the elongated styloid process (SP) or calcified stylohyoid ligament were first described by W. Eagle and they are now known as Eagle syndrome (ES). Normal length of SP was stated by Eagle as 2.5 ... -
Fenestration of the vertebral artery: case presentation
(VIA MEDICA, 2014)Fenestrations of vertebral arteries are considered to be rare abnormalities observed in angiographic and autopsy studies. They result from vascular abnormalities that occur during the embryological development of vertebral ... -
Left renal vein abnormalities detected during routine abdominal computed tomography imaging: clinico-radiological significance
(VIA MEDICA, 2012)Background: Preoperative knowledge of the presence of major venous anomalies facilitates the safe performance of aortic surgery. The purpose of the study was to estimate the incidence, as detected by abdominal computed ... -
Normative size evaluation of internal auditory canal with magnetic resonance imaging: review of 3786 patients
(VIA MEDICA, 2012)Background: A narrow internal auditory canal (IAC) is significantly associated with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. It would therefore seem likely that any patient with an IAC measured radiographically to be under ... -
Plasma osmolality predicts mortality in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
(VIA MEDICA, 2017)Background: Heart failure (HF) is a fatal disease. Plasma osmolality with individual impacts of sodium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and glucose has not been studied prognostically in patients with HF. Aim: This study aims ... -
Prognostic importance of central thrombus in hemodynamically stable patients with pulmonary embolism
(VIA MEDICA, 2017)Background: The association between mortality and localization of central thrombus in hemodynamically stable patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) is unclear. Sufficient data are not available to help clinicians to select ... -
The relationship between the carrying angle and the distal extent of the 2(nd) and 4(th) fingertips
(VIA MEDICA, 2012)The angle towards the lateral side between the arm and forearm when the forearm is in full extension and supination is defined as the carrying angle. It is well known that the 2(nd) finger is longer in women whereas the ... -
Septal perforators stemming from a very long left main coronary artery
(VIA MEDICA, 2012)We report a case of a very long left main coronary artery (58 mm) with septal perforators before bifurcation. The coronary arteries were seen clear of plaques. To the best of our knowledge, this case is very rare because ...
