Retinal Vessel Diameter Changes in COVID-19 Infected Patients
Özet
Purpose: To evaluate the longitudinal changes in retinal vessel diameters in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: This study included 25 patients with COVID-19 (Group 1) and 25 healthy subjects (Group 2). The diameters of peripapillary temporal and nasal retinal arteries and veins were measured at baseline and at 4 months after remission. Results: The baseline diameters of the inferior temporal vein and the artery were increased in group 1 compared to controls (p = .007 and p = .041, respectively). There was also an increase in the diameters of the inferior and superior nasal veins and arteries in group 1 at baseline (p = .001, p = .019, p = .037, and p = .008, respectively). Retinal vessel diameters decreased after remission in all quadrants in comparison to baseline measurements (all p < .05). Conclusion: Increased retinal vessel diameters were measured in COVID-19 patients during the disease. Measurement of retinal vessel diameters may be a noninvasive method of estimating the vascular risk. © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Using of three dimensional volume rendering angiography in the determination of vessel-free areas of the scalp in the patients underwent intracranial aneurysm surgery during the placement of three-pins metallic head fixation device
Gokyar A.; Cokluk C.; Marangoz A. (Ondokuz Mayis Universitesi, 2016)Three-pins head holder device has been safely used for many years in many neurosurgical procedures for providing 3-point rigid cranial fixation. Equal impingement of pins ensures firm skull positioning and fixation after ... -
An Efficient Retinal Blood Vessel Segmentation using Morphological Operations
Ozkaya, U.; Ozturk, S.; Akdemir, B.; Seyfi, L. (IEEE, 2018)The structure of retinal vessel carries information about many diseases. It is difficult to analyze this complex structure by human eye. Additionally, it has time-consuming process. In this study, an extremely lower complex ... -
Three years' interventional neurology experience in Turkey with the Thrombite thrombectomy device in large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation: safety, efficacy, and clinical outcome
Akpinar, Cetin Kursad; Gurkas, Erdem; Ozdemir, Atilla Ozcan; Dogan, Hasan; Onalan, Aysenur; Yildirim, Serhan; Memis, Zuelfikar (Frontiers Media Sa, 2024)Introduction While the Thrombite device differs from the Solitare stent with its Helical open-side structure feature, it shows great similarity with its other features. We assessed the Thrombite device's effectiveness and ...
