Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Evaluation of Hemocytometer Parameters as Potential Biomarkers in Benign Multinodular Goiter and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma(Kowsar Publishing Company, 2017) Uysal, Erdal; Ceylan, Seyit Mehmet; Sezgin, Efe; Bakir, Hasan; Gurer, Ahmet Orhan; Aksoy, Basar; Bastemir, MehmetBackground: Hemocytometer parameters can be important biomarkers for some types of cancers and diseases. There is a need to evaluate their biomarker potential in thyroid diseases. Objectives: The current study aimed at contributing to potential biomarker researches to diagnose papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and benign multinodular goiter (BMG), evaluate the role of these markers to determine the PTC characteristics and contribute to clarification of controversial issues. Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective observational study. The study included 389 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy at private Sani Konukoglu hospital (Sanko University, School of Medicine, Gaziantep, Turkey) due to BMG or PTC diagnosis from November 2011 to May 2017. The study subjects were divided into 3 groups. Groups 1, 2, and 3 were subjects with BMG, PTC, and the control, respectively. The comparisons were made among the groups in terms of hemocytometer parameters. In the group with the thyroid papillary carcinoma diagnosis, the relationship between the hemocytometer parameters and the bilateral tumor presence, single-sided multicentrite, and tumor diameter (size) were investigated. Results: Red cell distribution width (RDW) levels were 15.50 +/- 2.39, 15.68 +/- 2.16, and 12.5 +/- 1.51 in the BMG, PTC, and control groups, respectively. Mean platelet volumes (MPV) were 7.97 +/- 1.19, 8.05 +/- 1.20, and 7.23 +/- 1.39 in the BMG, PTC, and control groups, respectively. MPV and RDW values were significantly lower in group 3 compared with the groups 1 and 2 (P < 0.0001). Plateletcrit (PCT) values were 0.22 +/- 0.05, 0.23 +/- 0.06, and 0.19 +/- 0.05 in the BMG, PTC, and control groups, respectively. PCT was significantly lower in the group 3 compared with the groups 1 and 2 (P = 0.0001). In PTC group, no significant relationship was observed between any of the examined hematological parameters in terms of multicentric and bilateral tumor presence. Conclusions: RDW, MPV, haemoglobin content, and PCT were significantly higher in the BMG and PTC groups. This increase was not specific for either of the 2 groups. No significant difference was found between any of the hemocytometer parameters and the multicentricity and bilaterality of PTC. But, a possible correlation was observed between activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), hemoglobin content, and tumor size.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Hot Nasal Packing With Hot Saline Irrigation for Hemostasis After Adenoidectomy: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Study(Elsevier, 2020) Ceylan, Seyit Mehmet; Dişikırık, İlyas; Kanmaz, Mahmut Alper; Yıldırım, Alton; Sezgin, EfeObjective: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of hot posterior nasal packing and hot saline irrigation in bleeding control after adenoidectomy. Methods: A total of 130 patients scheduled for adenoidectomy were included in the study, and randomized into two groups at the beginning of the surgical operation. After adenoidectomy, saline impregnated tampon, and saline irrigation at room temperature (22 degrees C) was applied to the patients in one group while 50 degrees C saline impregnated tampon and saline irrigation at the same temperature were applied to the patients in the other group. We recorded hemostasis for up to 3 min after tamponade for bleeding control, and the amount of bleeding into the nasopharynx. Results: The age of the patients ranged from 1.5 to 13 years (mean +/- SD: 6.07 +/- 3.08 years, and 5.33 +/- 2.55 years, 22 degrees C and 50 degrees C saline irrigation groups, respectively). There were 37 males and 28 females in the 22 degrees C saline group, while 34 males and 31 females in the 50 degrees C saline group. When comparing the two groups, there was no statistically significant difference in terms of duration of hemostasis (p = 0.64). However, bleeding scores at 2 nd min after the tamponade were significantly lower in the 50 degrees C saline group (p = 0.007). The amount of bleeding in the 50 degrees C saline group was also significantly lower than the 22 degrees C saline group (p = 0.015). Conclusion: In this study, application of 50 degrees C saline impregnated tampon, and hot saline irrigation was found to be more effective in the control of bleeding after adenoidectomy by reducing the amount of bleeding compared to 22 degrees C saline impregnated tampon application and saline irrigation at 22 degrees C. However, hot nasal packing and hot saline irrigation did not affect duration of hemostasis and cauterization.
