RESUMO

To investigate the association of thrombophilia and coronary artery disease [CAD] in patients with myocardial infarction [MI]. Under the age of 45 years, 129 patients with MI and 107 control subjects were included into the study. Traditional risk factors of CAD and protein C, S, antithrombin III deficiencies, factor V Leiden [FV Leiden], prothrombin G20210A and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase [MTHFR] C677T mutations were investigated. There were statistically significant differences in terms of obesity, smoking, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, family history, hypertension, diabetes, and left ventricular hypertrophy between patients and controls. None of the patients and controls had protein C, protein S, and antithrombin III deficiencies. Ten patients [7.8%] and 4 controls [3.7%] had heterozygote FV Leiden mutation. Homozygous prothrombine G20210A gene mutation was detected in one patient [1.1%]. Homozygous MTHFR C677T mutation was observed in 7.8% [patients] and in 6.5% [controls]. Heterozygous MTHFR C677T mutation was detected 36.4% in patients and 31.7% in controls. The difference was not statistically significant in terms of carriage of thrombophilic mutations. We found that traditional risk factors increased the risk of CAD. Prothrombin G20210A, FV Leiden and MTHFR C677T mutations, protein C, S and AT-III deficiencies did not increase the risk of CAD in our young population

RESUMO

To compare tuboperitoneal factors of infertile women by hysterosalpingography [HSG] and laparoscopy. In this cohort study, 82 infertile cases were evaluated retrospectively by laparoscopy, 3 months subsequent to HSG in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Medical School of Dicle University, Diyarbakir, Turkey, between March 2004 and April 2006. The findings of HSG and laparoscopy were compared. Out of the 82 infertile women, pathological findings were observed in 45.1% by HSG, and 54.9% had no pathological finding. On laparoscopic evaluation, however, pathological findings were observed in 65.85%, and 34.15% had no pathological findings. The pathological findings were detected by laparoscopy in 20 of the 45[44.4%] patients who had no pathological findings by HSG, and no pathological findings were detected by laparoscopy in 3 of the 37 [8.1%] patients who had pathological findings by HSG. Laparoscopy revealed no pathological findings in 6 of the 35 patients who had tubal pathology by HSG. The sensitivity of HSG was 63%, specificity was 89.3%, and the positive predictive value was 92%, with a 55% predictive value, and the accuracy ratio was 72%. Laparoscopy is a superior method for the research of tubal and pelvic pathologies in the evaluation of infertility. However, HSG is a more economical and elementary method suitable for evaluation of endometrial and tubal pathologies, and laparoscopy is an appropriate method for examining the external part of tubae, fimbriae, the relation of tuba and ovary, endometriosis, adhesions, tuberculosis, and other pathologies. Therefore, these 2 methods are not alternative, but complementary
