    Retrospective Evaluation of Candidemic Patients Among General Surgery Department in a Tertiary Care University Hospital
    (Turkish Surgical Assoc, 2019) Onal, Ugur; Metin, Dilek Yesim; Karaca, Can; Polat, Suleyha Hilmioglu; Ersin, Sinan; Tasbakan, Meltem Isikgoz
    Objective: Candida species are among the most important causes of hospital acquired blood borne infections, and with high rates of mortality and morbidity, these infections are still a major problem today. History of gastrointestinal surgery, administration of total parenteral nutrition and/or wide spectrum antibiotics and immune suppression following organ transplantations are considered serious risk factors for these infections. This study aimed to evaluate the patients from our general surgery department with diagnosed candidemia; by means of strain, treatment and prognosis. Material and Methods: Patients with positive blood cultures for Candida species who were treated in the wards and Ege University Faculty of Medicine general surgery department of surgical intensive care units of our between 2012 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed by means of strain, treatment and prognosis. Results: A total of 50 patients were enrolled in the study. Mean age was 58.96 years and 54% of the patients were female. There were nine patients with organ transplantation (four liver and five kidney transplantations), six with intestinal perforation and three with anastomotic leakage. Isolated strains were Candida albicans (36%; 18/50), Candida tropicalis (14%; 7/50), Candida glabrata (12%; 6/50), Candida parapsilosis (8%; 4/50), Candida kefyr (6%; 3/50), Candida krusei (4%; 2/50), Candida pulcherrima (2%; 1/50), Cryptococcus neoformans (2%, 1/50), Geotrichum capitatum (2%, 1/50), Candida spp. (unidentified, 14%; 7/50) with decreasing frequency. The highest antifungal sensitivity rates (> 90%) were measured for amphotericin B, voriconazole and echinocandins among all isolates. One-month mortality rate was 43.4% (20/46). Documented eradication was achieved among 24 of the 33 patients who had control blood culture samples (72.7%), and mean eradication time was 7.6 days. Echocardiography was performed in 14% (7/50) and ophthalmic examination in 8% (4/50). Conclusion: Although C. albicans appears to be the dominant strain in patients with candidemia, frequencies of other strains are increasing. Early diagnosis and treatment of patients with candidemia is of vital importance due to high mortality and morbidity rates.

    Factors Affecting Bilirubin Levels Following Drainage Proceduresin Obstructive Jaundice
    (2019) Aydın, Cengiz; Çapar, Ahmet Ergin; Günay, Süleyman; Karaca, Avni Can; Ustun, Mehmet
    Introduction: Measuring serum bilirubin levels is easy and readily available invirtually every healthcare facility. It is practically used by physicians for thefollow up of the patients with obstructive jaundice.Despite its common use as amarker for follow up, the literature lacks clear data about its interpretation as aclinical marker.We don’t have clearly set prognostic rules and cutoff pointsespecially about the rate of bilirubin decrease following biliary drainageprocedures.We conducted a retrospective study to determine the likely factorsthat affect bilirubin levels following the interventional relief of obstructivejaundice.Material-Method: We retrospectively analyzed data from 73 patients withobstructive jaundice who underwent interventional drainage procedures over atime period of 4 years in a tertiary healthcare center.Results: Decrease in the bilirubin levels was most rapid in the first 48hour following the drainage. From the analyzed variables, only age andselected type of the drainage procedure significantly affected the rateof bilirubin decrease in our patient group. We failed to establish cutoffpoints that can accurately predict the patients with slower bilirubindecrease.Conclusion: Serum bilirubin level is an important and commonly usedmarker predicting the success of treatment and the prognosis of thepatients with obstructive jaudince. Type of drainage and the ageproven to significantly affect the rate of bilirubin decrease regardless ofunderlying pathology

    The Impact of Visual Thinking in Medical Education
    (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2022) Demir, Ayse Banu; Okuyan; van Eck, Alexander; Mura, Gokhan; Gonlugur, Emre; Karaca, Can; Abacioglu, Hakan
    Background Considering medical humanities, medicine and art are two areas that resemble each other at several features. Clinical diagnosis involves the observation, description and interpretation of information of which visual ones take an important one. The skills described are important skills in the field of visual arts, as well. Underlying a good clinical practice; clinical examination and observation skills constitute an important place. Although in several studies, these skills are shown to be improved by analyzing visual art pieces, courses intended to improve visual thinking skills are not that much common in medical faculty curriculums. Materials and methods In this article, we share our opinion about the use of visual thinking in medical education by providing preliminary reflection results of learners from the second year of medical education about the visual thinking course that we have recently started to apply in Faculty of Medicine in collaboration with Faculty of Fine Arts in Izmir University of Economics in order to improve the observational skills of learners. Results Reflection results of the learners support the view that training art-viewing skill is helpful to improve observational and descriptive skills. Conclusions Increasing interdisciplinary programs on visual thinking in medical curriculums have the potential to overcome several professional development challenges in clinics.

    Prognostic Value of Metastatic Lymph Node Ratio in Pancreatic Cancer
    (Springer India, 2019) Karaca, Can; Coker, Ahmet
    Lymph node involvement in pancreatic adenocancer is one of the strongest predictors of prognosis. However, the extent of lymph node dissection is still a matter of debate and number of dissected nodes varies widely among patients. In order to homogenize this diverse group of patients and more accurately predict their prognosis, we aimed to analyze the effect of metastatic lymph node ratio as an independent prognostic factor. We retrospectively analyzed medical recordings of 326 patients with pancreatic cancer who were treated in a tertiary medical oncology center over a 10-year period. Both in univariate and multivariate analyses, metastatic lymph node ratio proved to be a strong predictor of prognosis which was unaffected from heterogeneity of our patient population and can be used to facilitate predict prognosis of patients who underwent lymph node dissection to various extents and with future studies it can emerge as a successful tool for creating prognostic subgroups of the disease.

    Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasms of the Pancreas: Case Series With a Review of the Literature
    (Aves, 2020) Uguz, Alper; Unalp, Omer Vedat; Akpinar, Goksever; Karaca, Can Avni; Oruc, Nevin; Nart, Deniz; Yilmaz, Funda
    Background/Aims: The solid pseudopapillary neoplasms are quite rare tumors of the pancreas, comprising roughly 1-2% of all pancreatic neoplasms. It has a low malignant potential and usually affects young females. Despite increasing number of articles in the last decade, there is still debate on the pathogenesis, malignant potential and optimal surgical strategy for the solid pseudopapillary neoplasms. Materials and Methods: Medical recordings of 326 patients who were operated due to pancreatic mass were retrospectively analyzed. Patient demographics, presenting symptoms, surgical and pathologic characteristics of the tumor, postsurgical course, long-term survival, and other relevant data were extracted from patients' charts. Results: Majority of the patients were female in consistency with the classic data in the literature. All the patients underwent curative intent resections. Tumors were commonly localized in the tail of the pancreas making distal pancreatectomy the most commonly performed surgical procedure. Mean tumor diameter was 5.8 centimeters with tumor sizes ranging from 1 to 19 cm. Conclusion: The solid pseudopapillary neoplasms of the pancreas is a rare tumor with low malignant potential, which is more common in females of reproductive age, with abdominal pain being their most common presentation. The short-term outcomes in patients following surgical R0 resection are excellent. However, proximal placement of the tumor and female gender may have slightly worse prognosis. We hope that our findings from a series of patients represent a contribution to the existing literature on SPN, and authors declare their willingness to provide further details for future meta-analyses.
