Öğe Diuretics, plasma brain natriuretic peptide and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(VAN ZUIDEN COMMUNICATIONS, 2007) Kanat, F.; Vatansev, H.; Teke, T.Background: Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is associated with increased myocardial stretching. This study aims to assess the effect of mild diuretics on plasma BNP levels in patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have high plasma concentrations of BNP. Methods: Thirty consecutive patients with an acute exacerbation of COPD without any clinical evidence of cor pulmonale who had elevated plasma BNP concentrations (group 1) and 15 patients with stable COPD as controls (group 2) participated in this study. A mild diuretic treatment in addition to the standard treatment for an acute attack of COPD was randomised to 15 patients in group 1 (group 1A). The remaining patients in group 1 only took standard treatment for acute COPD exacerbation (group 1B). Plasma BNP concentrations were measured on admission and repeated on the 5th and 10th days. Results: There was a significant decrease in plasma BNP concentrations, more striking in group 1A than 1B. Both in group 1A and 1B, the fall in plasma BNP concentrations was independent of either presence or absence of right ventricular dysfunction on echo evaluation. Conclusion: Adding mild diuretics to the standard treatment for an acute attack of COPD may rapidly reduce plasma BNP levels in COPD patients with acute exacerbations who have high plasma BNP levels without any clinical evidence of cor pulmonale.Öğe Embolisation of hydatid cysts in the pulmonary artery presenting with haemoptysis(VAN ZUIDEN COMMUNICATIONS, 2007) Aribas, O. K.; Kanat, F.; Turk-Aribas, E.; Erayman, I.; Yuksek, T.A 49-year-old female patient who had undergone surgery for hepatic echinococcosis five years previously was admitted with haemoptysis. MRI angiography showed total occlusion of the left inferior pulmonary artery. Echocardiography showed no pulmonary hypertension. The patient underwent pneumonectomy and cysts in the left pulmonary artery were observed. Pulmonary artery involvement should be considered in patients who have undergone hepatic cyst surgery if haemoptysis is the first presenting symptom, especially in endemic regions for hydatidosis.Öğe Hydatid liver cyst ruptured into vena cava inferior - Response(VAN ZUIDEN COMMUNICATIONS, 2007) Aribas, O.
