BMJ Case Rep . 2012 May; 2012. PMID: 22604199
Tension pneumothorax complicating a pneumoperitoneum is a rare but known entity. However, all previously published articles report an air leak through defects in the diaphragm connecting the pneumoperitoneum and the...

Karaca M, Coban E, Felek R, Unal M
Clin Exp Hypertens . 2012 May; 35(1):16-9. PMID: 22571627
This study was designed to answer the following questions: (i) Do levels of serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), a marker of oxidative stress, change in hypertensive retinopathy (HR)? (ii) Is there...

Bostan F, Coban E
Med Sci Monit . 2011 Jun; 17(6):PR1-4. PMID: 21629201
Background: To understand the heterogeneity of platelets, we investigated the correlation between von Willebrand factor (vWf) and mean platelet volume (MPV) in subjects with isolated impaired fasting glucose (IFG). Material/methods:...

Coban E, Nizam I, Topal C, Akar Y
Clin Exp Hypertens . 2010 Nov; 32(8):528-31. PMID: 21091359
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a marker of systemic low-grade inflammation. The pathophysiologic mechanism of hypertensive retiopathy (HR) is not fully established. Elevated blood pressure (BP) alone does not fully...

Turhan O, Coban E, Inan D, Yalcin A
Med Sci Monit . 2010 Apr; 16(4):CR202-205. PMID: 20357720
Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major public health problem worldwide, responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality from chronic liver disease. Conflicting findings on the possible association between...

Coban E, Alkan E, Altuntas S, Akar Y
Med Sci Monit . 2010 Jan; 16(2):CR92-5. PMID: 20110920
Background: In recent years several studies showed an association between body iron stores, represented by serum ferritin, and oxidative stress. The pathophysiological mechanism of hypertensive retinopathy (HR) is not fully...

Sari R, Eray E, Ozdem S, Akbas H, Coban E
Clin Exp Med . 2009 Nov; 10(3):179-84. PMID: 19937362
Sibutramine and metformin are drugs commonly used to obtain weight loss. We aimed to compare the effects of sibutramine alone with that of sibutramine plus metformin combination on weight loss,...

Coban E, Bostan F
Med Sci Monit . 2009 Apr; 15(4):CR194-7. PMID: 19333205
Background: It has been shown that an increased von Willebrand factor level reflects endothelial dysfunction and may also have prognostic value in patients with atherosclerotic disease. Impaired fasting glucose is...

Coban E, Adanir H
Platelets . 2008 Oct; 19(6):405-8. PMID: 18925507
Increased platelet activation and aggregation are central processes in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Increased platelet activity is associated with increased platelet volume. Mean platelet volume (MPV), a determinant of platelet...

Coban E, Aydemir M
Med Sci Monit . 2007 Dec; 14(1):CR42-46. PMID: 18160944
Background: During the last 15 years, several risk markers for atherosclerosis, such as fibrinogen and D-dimer, have been identified. The role of elevated fibrinogen levels as an independent risk factor...
