Introduction: Infections are the major cause of increased mortality and morbidity rate in diabetic foot patients. There are little data in literature about the effects of Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage on DF infection, the risk factors that influence nasal carriage and its incidence in diabetics. We aimed to detect of the incidence, risk factors and relationship between wound culture and S. aureus nasal carriage in diabetic patients who have DF with thi...

Introduction and aims: Subacute thyroiditis (ST) is a spontaneous remitting inflammatory disease of thyroid gland. Although there is no clear evidence for its specific etiology, multiple factors may responsible for this inflammatory reaction. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a new important inflammatory marker that indicates disease activity. Aim of this study is to evaluate MPV value in patients with subacute thyroiditis.Materials and methods: Thirty-one p...

Aim: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are prognostic markers of differentiated thyroid cancers. In our study we evaluated NLR, PLR and C-reactive protein for predicting the occurence of differentiated thyroid cancer. This is the first study that compares NLR and PLR to C-reactive protein indifferantiated thyroid cancer not only papillary cancer but also folliculer cancer.Materials and Method: This study includes 51 pa...
