Malnutrition has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to determine the nutritional status and micronutrient levels of hospitalized patients in an infectious disease clinic and investigate their association with adverse clinical outcomes. The nutritional status of the study participants was assessed using the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and micronutrient levels and routine biochemical parameters were tested within the first 24 h of the patient’s admission. The incidence of zinc, selenium, thiamine, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 deficiency were 66.7% (n = 40), 46.6% (n = 29), 39.7% (n = 27), 35.3% (n = 24), 14.1% (n = 9), respectively. Selenium levels were significantly higher in patients with urinary tract infections, but lower in soft tissue infections. Copper levels were significantly higher in patients with soft tissue infections. In the Cox regression models, lower albumin, higher serum lactate dehydrogenase levels and higher NRS-2002 scores were associated with increased death. Thiamine, selenium, zinc and vitamin B6 deficiencies but not chromium deficiencies are common in infectious disease clinics. New associations were found between micronutrient levels and infection type and their adverse clinical outcomes. Hypoalbuminemia and a high NRS-2002 score had the greatest accuracy in predicting death, systemic inflammatory response syndrome and sepsis on admission.

Background Hypertension is a very important cause of morbidity and mortality. Serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is a biomarker of oxidative stress and associated with increased risk of hypertension and diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of serum GGT level, which is an early marker of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, with the deterioration of the diurnal rhythm of the blood pressure. Methods A total of 171 patients with hypertension were included in this study. Patients whose nighttime mean blood pressure, measured via ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, decreased between 10% and 20% compared with the daytime mean blood pressure were defined as “dippers”, whereas patients with a nighttime blood pressure decrease lower than 10% were defined as “non-dippers”. Results A total of 99 hypertensive patients (65 females/34 males) were classified as dippers and 72 patients (48 females/24 males) as non-dippers. The mean age of the non-dipper group was significantly greater than the dipper group. Serum GGT, C-reactive protein and uric acid levels were significantly higher among patients in the non-dipper group. Negative correlations were detected between GGT levels and diurnal systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreases. Conclusion Our findings revealed that GGT level was higher in the non-dipper group, and was negatively correlated with the nighttime decrease of diurnal blood pressure. C-reactive protein and uric acid levels were also higher in the non-dipper group. However, future randomized controlled prospective studies with larger patient populations are necessary to confirm our findings.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Currently, there is no definite consensus about the prognostic factors of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). We evaluate epidemiology, survival and especially prognostic factors in NETs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who had a NET and were diagnosed between 2000 and 2014 at a tertiary care center were included. Demographic data, tumor characteristics and survival rates were evaluated, retrospectively. RESULTS Two-hundred and thirty-three patients (123 male, 110 female; median age, 55 years [16-92 years]) took part in the study. Primary NET sites were the lung (n=56), stomach (n=50), pancreas (n=39), colorectal (n=21), small intestine (n=19), and appendix (n=19). According to the NET classification by the WHO in 2010, 60% (n=140) of patients were grade-1, 15% (n=35) were grade-2, and 25% (n=58) were grade-3. According to TNM staging, 88 patients (37.8%) were stage I, 30 patients (12.8%) were stage II, 22 patients (9.5%) were stage III, and 93 patients (39.9%) were stage IV. Univariate analysis revealed significant associations between gender, age, grade, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, stage, and the number of organs impacted by metastases and overall survival. However, with multivariate analysis only age greater than 55 years, advancing grade, and inoperable tumors were significantly associated with shortened survival. Five-year survival was 81% in grade-1, 34% in grade-2, and 9% in grade-3 NETs. CONCLUSION This study is the most comprehensive study in Turkey that has evaluated NETs using a multidisciplinary approach. Also, we suggest that age, operability and especially grade rather than stage are the most important prognostic factors in NETs.
