Sultan II. Abdülhamid’e Ermeni Komiteleri ve Faaliyetleriyle İlgili Sunulan Bir Fezleke (1895) by Bülent CIRIK

“…The developments that we can describe as the birth period of the genocide allegations were built in this period and have survived to the present day without any methodological changes. Sultan Abdulhamid II, who felt the pressure of internal and external events to a great extent, tried to protect the integrity of the state by taking some measures against arrogations and bloody acts. …”

Comparison of the Effects of Carperitide and Tolvaptan on Patients with Left Ventricular Dysfunction: A Two-Center Retrospective Study by Chikahiko Koeda, Shohei Yamaya, Maiko Hozawa, Masayuki Sato, Kazuhiro Nasu, Tomohiro Takahashi, Katsutoshi Terui

“…Patients were excluded from the study if they received combined carperitide and tolvaptan, if they received tolvaptan or cardiotonic drugs prior to the study period, if their LV ejection fraction was ≥40%, and if they had renal dysfunction (serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL). There were no differences in the change in serum electrolytes in both groups, and none of the patients in the T group received supplementary dobutamine therapy. …”

Effects of biologic therapy on novel indices of lung inhomogeneity in patients with severe type-2 high asthma by Nayia Petousi, Nick P Talbot, Ian Pavord, Peter A Robbins, Nicholas M J Smith, Graham Richmond, Asma Alamoudi, Lorenzo Petralia, Haopeng Xu, Dominic Sandhu, Grant AD Ritchie

“…Introduction/Aim Lung inhomogeneity measures obtained using computed cardiopulmonography (CCP) are sensitive to small-airways disease. Here, we assessed changes in lung inhomogeneity in patients with type-2 high asthma treated with biological therapy and explored the relationship between inhomogeneity measures and conventional asthma disease markers.Methods This was an observational study of 91 severe type-2 high asthma patients recruited from a tertiary asthma clinic, of whom 67 subsequently started anti-IL5 or anti-IL5R biologics. …”
