Objective: This study compared the concentrations of serum amyloid A (SAA), which is an inflammatory marker, in ectopic and intrauterine pregnancies. Methods: This prospective case-control study was conducted at Tepecik Education and Research Hospital in İzmir, Turkey, between 2015 and 2016. It included 39 patients diagnosed with tubal ectopic pregnancies and 41 patients diagnosed with early intrauterine pregnancies. The SAA, β human chorionic gonadotropin, progesterone and C-reactive protein levels were measured in the serum samples taken from both groups. Data were presented as mean±standard deviation and a p value <0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. The distribution of the variables was measured using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, while the independent samples t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used in the analysis of the quantitative independent data. The impact level and cut-off value were investigated using a receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: SAA levels in the ectopic pregnancy patients (2.4±2.6 µg/mL) was significantly higher than in the intrauterine pregnancies (1.4±1.9 µg/mL) (p=0.008). When using the SAA cut-off value of 0.7 μg/mL for the ectopic pregnancy diagnosis, the sensitivity was 73.2% and the specificity was 63.4%. Conclusion: The inflammation due to tubal tissue damage in an ectopic pregnancy may increase the SAA level in the maternal blood. Even though larger prospective studies are needed, our study suggests that the SAA is an important biomarker for the early diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy.

Objective: Non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most common clinical presentation of acute ischemic damage to the optic nerve. It is possible to evaluate choroidal changes in these cases with optical cohorens tomography (OCT). Methods: The records of 48 patients with NAION (group 1) were retrospectively reviewed. The best corrected visual acuities, intraocular pressure, ophthalmologic examination findings and macular enhanced depth imaging optic coherent tomography (EDI-OCT) examinations were evaluated. The data were compared with the right eyes of the control group of 50 volunteers (group 2). Results: The mean age of group 1 was 59.25±9.685 years, and the mean age of group 2 was 58.26±9.249 years. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of age (p=0.08). When the macular EDI-OCT tests were evaluated in the acute period, the affected eye choroidal thickness was significantly higher when compared with unaffected eyes in subfovea, nasal and temporal areas and group 2 (respectively p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.001). Group 1 unaffected eye subfovea, nasal and temporal OCT were significantly higher than control group (respectively p=0.001, p=0.001, p=0.001). In the chronic period, thinning was observed in the affected eye choroidal thickness, but it was not statistically significant when compared with group 2 [respectively (p=0.543, p=0.513, p=0.497)]. Conclusion: The choroidal thickness changes in the early and late stages of the disease in NAION cases. This change may be due to the protection and adaptation mechanisms of optic nerve head perfusion.

First-line treatment of ALN is medical treatment. Here, a 30-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency department with nausea, vomiting, flank pain and fever.

Objective: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a fatal vascular pathological condition requiring urgent surgical intervention, where early diagnosis significantly affects the prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the preoperative, perioperative and postoperative factors affecting mortality in patients who were operated with the diagnosis of AMI. Methods: Patients who were operated with the diagnosis of AMI between January 2012 and January 2016 were evaluated. The patients were grouped as survivors (group 1) and non-survivors (group 2). Age, gender, concomitant disease history, clinical and laboratory findings, surgical treatment, the remaining bowel amount, short bowel syndrome, ileocecal valve intactness, ostomy opening status, the first 30-day mortality and morbidities were recorded. Results: Among group 1 and group 2, respectively there was no statistically significant difference in terms of age, gender, concomitant disease, remaining bowel amount, short bowel syndrome, providing total parenteral nutrition support, ileocecal valve intactness and opening ostomy (p>0.05). Hemodialysis was found to be a risk factor for mortality (p=0.020). Conclusion: AMI is a disease with high mortality, and prognostic factors that can predict pre-op and postoperative mortality are still being investigated. While it is observed that ileocecal valve intactness does not affect mortality, the preoperative urea and creatinine elevation and the need for postoperative hemodialysis may be a predictors of mortality.
