Aim: Colon cancer, accounting for almost 10% of all cancers in both genders worldwide, is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths. Approximately 95% of cases are originated from adenomas. In recent years, early detection of colon-borne pathologies and...
Objective: Urine culture test (UCT), which is the gold-standard for urinary tract infections (UTI), requires higher cost, labour and time than complete urinalysis (CU). Therefore, it is important to assess prediction performance of CU's for UCT. The aim of our study is to...
Objective: Automated hematology analyzer flags may provide early warning signals for hematological malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of Sysmex XN-1000 analyzer flags and to develop a multivariable prediction model for identifying active...
Objective: IUrinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease in children. Rapid and reliable diagnosis of UTI is mandatory for the prevention of complications. The aim of the present study was to assess whether or not automated urine analysis can be used as a rapid diagnostic...
Aim: It was aimed to determine predictive markers for the need for intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization in patients with coronavirus infection.
Material and Methods: This study was performed retrospectively from data of patients hospitalized with...
Aim: Although, urine culture requests to diagnose urinary tract infection (UTI) are very common, about 70-80% of urine samples received in the laboratory are found to be negative. This means increased laboratory workload and cost. Urinary leukocyte esterase and nitrite are...
Objective: It is generally a gruelling job to diagnose the appendicitis, the most common cause of a surgical operation in childhood. In this study, we aimed to reveal the relationship between the values obtained by the preoperative Complete Blood Count, and the Neutrophile...
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the median values of the triple test screening parameters in pregnancy in Bingöl region, and to compare the median values determined for the currently used programs and some other provinces.
