    Could the Umbilical Cord Suggest the Method of Anesthesia?
    (Galenos Publishing House, 2023)
    Objective: We aimed to investigate changes in aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB), and troponin I levels, which were biochemical parameters that gave an idea regarding clinical conditions such as tissue damage and asphyxia, according to the anesthesia type, to compare their levels in mothers who gave birth with normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (NSVD) and to investigate whether the type of anesthesia applied caused a change in biochemical parameters. Methods: Of the 90 patients included in the present study, 30 (33.3%) underwent general anesthesia, while 30 (33.3%) underwent spinal anesthesia, and 30 (33.3%) gave birth with NSVD. AST, ALT, LDH, CK-MB, and troponin I levels were measured in all pregnant women before they were taken to the operating room or delivery room. After the baby was delivered, a blood sample was taken from the umblical artery to measure AST, ALT, LDH, CKMB, and troponin I levels. The APGAR scores, the need for oxygen, positive pressure ventilation, and intubation after delivery of the newborns were recorded. Results: Statistically significant increases were found in AST, ALT, LDH, and troponin I levels in umblical artery in all groups when compared with their levels in pregnant women before delivery. Conclusion: An increase in umbilical artery CK-MB and ALT levels was observed in the NSVD group. Due to the increase in umbilical artery CK-MB and ALT levels in the NSVD group, it was found that it was not appropriate to evaluate the effects of anesthesia on the newborn with these markers

    Oxidative Stress Enzyme NOX1 Is a New and Important Biomarker for Childhood Appendicitis?
    (SpringerLink, 2023) Avcı, Veli; Ayengin, Kemal; Huyut, Zubeyir; Huyut, Mehmet Tahir; Soysal, Lokman; Bilici, Salim
    Delayed appendicitis diagnosis may result in perforation and an increased risk of mortality. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of ischemia-modifed albumin, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 1, 2, and 4 levels in the diagnosis of non-complicated and complicated appendicitis. The study included 60 pediatric patients who presented to our clinic with a complaint of abdominal pain and underwent surgery with a diagnosis of appendicitis between November 2020 and December 2021 and also included 30 controls. Cases were divided into three groups: (i) non-complicated appendicitis (n = 30), (ii) complicated appendicitis (n = 30), and (iii) control (n = 30). The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 1 and 4 and ischemia-modifed albumin levels were higher in non-complicated and complicated appendicitis compared to the control (p < 0.001). In addition, considering the odds ratio values, the most efective biomarkers in the diagnosis were nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 1 and 2, and procalcitonin, while the most efective biomarkers in the prognosis were nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 1 and 2, and neotrophil/lymphocyte ratios. The data suggested that since the most successful biomarker nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 1, with a value of 0.98- area under the curve, is the most successful biomarker in both diagnosis and prognosis of the disease, it can be used as an important biomarker in childhood appendicitis.
