Opis:
Although vitamin D is included in the group of fat-soluble vitamins, it must be considered as a prohormone. Its active forms, including calcitriol, have pleiotropic effects and play an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis, as well as in hormone secretion, and they demonstrate anti-cancer properties. Since calcitriol delivery can be beneficial for the organism, and Syrian golden hamsters represent a unique experimental model, we decided to investigate its toxicity in this species. In this study, we injected calcitriol intraperitoneally at doses 0 (control), 0.180±0.009 µg/kg and 0.717±0.032 µg/kg. Animal behavior was observed for 72 hrs after injection, and afterwards blood, liver and kidneys were collected for post-mortem examination, electron microscopy, and hematology analyses. The highest dose of calcitriol induced a change in animal behavior from calm to aggressive, and the liver surface showed morphological signs of damage. Following injection of calcitriol, ultrastructural changes were also observed in the liver and kidneys, e.g. vacuolization and increased number of mitochondria. There was also a trend for increased serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), but not of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or GGTP (gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase). There was no change in Ca, Mg and P levels, as well as in blood morphology between experimental and control groups. These results indicate that calcitriol at 0.717, but not at 0.180 µg/kg, may induce acute damage to the liver and kidneys, without inducing calcemia. We propose that the hepatotoxic effect of calcitriol in hamster constitutes the primary cause of behavioral changes.

Opis:
Objectives The objective of the study was to assess prenatal toxicity of N-methylaniline (NMA) administered by gavage to pregnant female rats. Material and Methods Pregnant female rats were administered N-methylaniline in corn oil by gavage at daily doses of 0.8 mg/kg of body weight (b.w.), 4 mg/kg b.w., 20 mg/kg b.w. and 100 mg/kg b.w. from implantation (the 5th day post mating) to the day prior to the scheduled caesarean section (the 20th day of pregnancy). General behavior, body weight, food and water consumption, hematological, biochemical analyses and pathomorphological changes of the dams were recorded. Results All the females survived until the end of the study. The test substance was toxic to pregnant females, even at the lowest of the used doses, i.e., 0.8 mg/kg b.w./day. Lower weight gain during pregnancy and significantly higher NMA-dose-dependent absolute weight of the organs were noted in the exposed females. The females from the groups exposed at doses of 20 mg/kg b.w./day and 100 mg/kg b.w./day developed anemia and showed higher concentrations of free thyroxine (FT3) and free triiodothyronine (FT4) thyroid hormones. Total protein concentration exhibited an increase in all the exposed groups of females. In the prenatal toxicity study, administration of N-methylaniline throughout the embryonic and fetal periods produced embryotoxic effects at doses ranging 4–100 mg/kg b.w./day. Conclusions Considering the data obtained in this study, it is reasonable to assume that N-methylaniline administered orally to pregnant rats is toxic for mothers even at a low dose of 0.8 mg/kg b.w./day. However, this dose was not associated with any significant effects to their offspring. This prenatal exposure level may be considered as no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for the progeny and a dose of 4 mg/kg b.w./day as the lowest-observed-adverse-effect level (LOAEL) for the progeny.

Opis:
One of the ways for toxic emissions reduction from internal combustion engines, beside external Exhaust purification systems and alternative fuels, is direct intervention into engine combustion process. The inner catalyst application, in form of ceramic active coating applied inside of combustion chamber, is one of the examples of that kind of solution. The application of active coating inside of a compression-ignition engine (diesel engine) may have an important impact on several stages of combustion process: fuel cracking, fore-flame phase, combustion phase and secondary combustion phase. Investigations of such construction are very rare in the literature. The paper presents the results of the researches which aim was analysis of inner catalyst application impact on toxic emissions. As a catalyst platinum and rhodium was used. As a catalyst support and local thermal barrier a zirconium ceramic coating was used. The catalyst was located on the gasoline engine valves surface. The research was done in Emission Research Laboratory of the Division of Motor Vehicles and Internal Combustion Engines. The analysis was done according to European standard (EN ISO 16017-1: 2006) on gas chromatograph (Yarian 450 GC) equipped in capillary column and flame-ionization detector (FID). The results of the researches proofed effectiveness of that solution on toxic emissions limitation.

Opis:
Introduction and aim. Poorly soluble isoflavonoid genistein is known as an anti-nematode agent and also it decreases the risk of certain types of cancer. The biological activity of genistein is limited mostly by its low solubility. Therefore many attempts to increase genistein solubility in water were reported. We applied a polyamidoamine dendrimer, modified its surface by glycidylation, and used this macromolecule as a guest for genistein. Material and methods. Polyamidoamine dendrimer 3rd generation was substituted with 64 glycidol residues to obtain a macromolecule host for genistein. The stoichiometry of this host-guest complex was determined. The complex was tested for skin model permeability, toxicity on fibroblast (BJ) and keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell lines in vitro and anthelmintic activity on the Caenorhabditis elegans nematode. Results. The partition coefficient of genistein between octanol and water was determined (KO/W). The 1:1 host-guest complex was isolated and used as drug delivery system for genistein delivery. PAMAM G3 glycidyled dendrimer containing genistein indicated an anthelmintic activity at 50 μM concentration. Conclusion. The solubility of genistein in water increases 640 times in presence of an equimolar concentration of the dendrimer. One molecule of host dendrimer encapsulates 3 molecules of genistein. The encapsulate is an efficient anti-nematode formulation.

The aim of the research was to study the impact of "Oława" smelter on surroundings. For this purpose, water, soil and sediments were collected in the vicinity of smelter and subjected to selected ecotoxicological tests. The authors used Spirodela polyrhiza duckweed and Brachinious calyciflorus rotifer for the assessment of the water from Odra River, and Heterocypris inconqruens ostracod for the sediment studies. Triticum sativum and Avena sativa monocotyledons as well as Sinapis alba and Lepidium sativum dicotyledonous plants were used to perform the soil toxicity tests. The obtained results proved slight sediment toxicity, but no toxicity of water was observed. The inhibition of root growth of tested plants was observed suggesting the impact of toxicity on soil. The studies proved that only the area in the nearest vicinity of the "Oława" smelter is still contaminated with heavy metals and may pose a serious threat to the environment.

The bovine lymphocytes were exposed to various zearalenone concetrations (50; 10; 2; 0.4 and 0.08 ppm). The viability and DNA damage of lymphocytes was monitored after 2 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. After 2 hours of zearalenone exposure, statistically significant DNA damage occurred at all tested concentrations of 0.08 ppm (12.2±1.25; p<0.05), 0.4 ppm (12.7±0.88; p<0.01), 2 ppm (12.0±0.51; p<0.01), 10 ppm (11.2±0.47; p<0.01) and at 50 ppm (14.2±0 61; p<0.001). Significantly greater DNA damage was also found after 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. The obtained results showed that zearalenone may induce DNA damage of the bovine lymphocytes.

Introduction. Over 300 species of parasites can possibly be passed on humans. Most of the parasitic infections are defined based on their pathogenicity; however, some positive effects of a parasite existence within the human body have recently been suggested. Beneficial outcomes of parasite infections might result from the production and release of metabolites, modification of host immune response or products uptake of the host. Objective. The aim of the study was a comprehensive analysis of a wide range of effects of parasites on the human body, including an overview of the toxic and positive effects. State of knowledge. In the light of the latest research presenting the unconventional use of parasites in medicine, the widely understood of their impact on the human body can also be considered in a positive context. Clinical cases from diseases caused by the toxic effects of parasites, as described in recent years, indicate that the problem of parasitic infections still persists. Despite a great deal of knowledge about the toxic effects of parasites on the human organism and, above all, despite the improvement in sanitary conditions, there is a resurgence of parasitic infections, as evidenced, e.g. by the examples presented in this review. Conclusions. The examples of positive effects of parasites presented so far give hope for the future in terms of fighting many diseases for which pharmacological treatment has not yet brought a positive effect. A better understanding of those processes might lead to the development of new methods of unconventional medical treatment.

Opis:
Ionic liquids (ILs) have gained a significant attention as alternative solvents in many chemical and biological reactions. ILs have evolved as a new type of non-aqueous solvents for biocatalysis, because they can stabilize and activate enzymes. Ionic liquids to be considered as so called “green solvents” should possess only very low or no toxicity to living organism and the environment. Currently, very little is known about the biotoxicity of ionic liquids. Within this paper a relative toxicity of two ionic liquids 1,3 dimethylimidazolium methyl sulfate [MMIM][MeSO4] and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [HMIM][Cl]) on the growth of Escherichia coli (E.coli) was evaluated. In this study we focused on ionic liquids, which potentially could increase activity of β-galactosidase produced by selected strain of E. coli. The inhibition of cell growth in the presence of various ionic liquids was determined using both, solid and liquid cultures. Liquid culture was incubated in culture medium with different concentrations of ionic liquids (0.1, 1, 5, 10% (v/v)). Determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC50) of ionic liquids was based on monitoring of E. coli growth by optical density measured at 600 nm using densitometer. In the second method the solid culture plate with addition of various amount of ILs has been used. The number of colonies formed on the solid culture plate was converted to colony forming units (CFUs). The obtained results have confirmed, that prescreening based on cytotoxicity tests is a key element in selection procedure of ILs for any biotechnological processes based on application of microorganisms.

Opis:
The paper presents results of analysis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) concentration and toxicity emitted from 1,9 TDI self-ignition. Because of unstable parameters of self-ignition engine work (pressure and temperature jumps), PAHs were extracted from two phases: gas phase and solid phase (particle matter - PM). A chromatographic method (Capillary gas Chromatography) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons identification and analysis, because of their low level of concentration in exhaust gases, needed to be supported by sample purification and enrichment stages. Calibration of the chromatograph was made by attested mixture of 16 model samples (according to EPA, USA). Two different methods for toxicity estimation was used in this researches. The authors used relative carcinogenic coefficients (RCC) which was determined by Nisbet and LaGoy for individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in relation to benzo(a)pirene. Samples consist PAHs was also tested for cytotoxicity in standardized cell-culture system (human cell line A549, mouse fibroblasts line cell L929). Cell growth, cell morphology and cell viability were used as parameters to determine the cytotoxicity of the materials. The measure the lethality effect on cells was determined spectrophotometrically with the use of a mitochondrial enzyme activity assay for mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase activity by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT assay). Cells were exposed to the biomaterials for 24, 72 and 120 h. The results of in vitro tests are discussible. A lach of correlation between toxicity measurement methods which was used in these researches was observed.

This work is the third part of the articles published on the effects of the shape and position of the combustion chamber in piston compression diesel engines on the toxicity of exhaust gases. In two previous articles presented at the KONES 2015 conference, the impact of position of the combustion chamber in relation to position of the injector, and the influence of the shape of the chamber (diameter, depth, lip on the CO, HC and NOx emissions was analysed. In the current article, the shape of the “central body” in a combustion chamber is analysed. “Central body” is the protrusion located in the central part of a toroidal combustion chamber. Subsequent modifications to the basic combustion chamber consisted of reducing the size of this protrusion. The study involved four versions of combustion chambers. Modifications caused a slight decrease in the compression ratio, which could have an impact on the unambiguousness of the results, as the effect of changes in shape of the “central body”. However, to maintain a constant compression ratio would require a change in diameter or depth of the chamber cavity, which would obscure the obtained results with even greater impact. Emission tests in discussed study were performed according to ECE-R4. During the tests, the completion of the engine and the engine settings were not changed.

Furthermore, to evaluate the efficiencies of different remediation techniques (advanced oxidation processes [AOPs] and bioremediation) for removing the most frequently detected compound (lindane) in drainage water. The results showed the presence of several organochlorine pesticides in all sampling sites. Lindane was detected with high frequency relative to other detected organochlorine in drainage water. Nano photo-Fenton like reagent was the most effective treatment for lindane removal in drainage water. Bioremediation of lindane by effective microorganisms (EMs) removed 100% of the lindane initial concentration. There is no remaining toxicity in lindane contaminated-water after remediation on treated rats relative to control with respect to histopathological changes in liver and kidney. Advanced oxidation processes especially with nanomaterials and bioremediation using effective microorganisms can be regarded as safe and effective remediation technologies of lindane in water.

Studies on the currently used organophosphorus insecticides with respect to their environmental levels and effective remediation technologies for their residues in water have been considered as a source of major concern. This study was carried out to monitor the presence of organophosphorus in drinking water plants (Kafr-El-Shiekh, Ebshan, Elhamoul, Mehalt Aboali, Fowa, Balteem and Metobess) in Kafr-El-Shiekh Governorate, Egypt. Furthermore, it was carried out to evaluate the efficiency of different remediation technologies (advanced oxidation processes and bioremediation) for removing chlorpyrifos in drinking water. The results showed the presence of several organophosphorus pesticides in water sampling sites. Chlorpyrifos was detected with high frequency relative to other compounds in drinking water. Nano photo-Fenton like reagent (Fe2O3(nano)/H2O2/UV) was the most effective treatment for chlorpyrifos removal in drinking water followed by ZnO(nano)/H2O2/UV, Fe3+/H2O2/UV and ZnO/H2O2/ UV, respectively. Bioremediation of chlorpyrifos by effective microorganisms (EMs) removed 100% of the chlorpyrifos initial concentration after 23 days of treatment. There is no remaining toxicity in chlorpyrifos contaminated-water after remediation on treated rats with respect to cholinesterase activity and histological changes in kidney and liver relative to control. Advanced oxidation processes especially with nanomaterials and bioremediation with effective microorganisms can be regarded as safe and effective remediation technologies for chlorpyrifos in drinking water.

Assessment of gentamicin effect on oxidoreductive balance and microstructure of trunk kidney in Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio). The aim of this study was to investigate the potential toxic effects of gentamicin on the Prussian carp (Carrasius gibelio) by determining its effect on oxidant-antioxidant balance and by histological image analysis of trunk kidney. The fi shes were injected with single standard therapeutic dose of gentamicin of 5 mg·kg–1. The samples of trunk kidney were collected in 3 days post antibiotic administration. Concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH) and activity of enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) were examined. The concentration of GSH and the activity of studied enzymes did not show statistically signifi cant differences between control and gentamicin-exposed group. The pathological changes were not observed in the trunk kidney structure. Renal tubules as well as renal corpuscles had correct structure. The obtained results indicate that a single injection of gentamycin at a dose of 5 mg·kg–1 does not lead to disturbance of oxidant-antioxidant balance or histopathological changes in the trunk kidney of Prussian carp. Gentamicin administration did not change oxidoreductive balance and trunk kidney microstructure in Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio).

Opis:
The toxicity and bioaccumulation of cadmium in a marine benthic protist community were examined at different depths within the sediment. For this purpose, sediment-water microcosms with 1000 μgCd dm−3 of the pollutant were used in two assays. The addition of cadmium caused a significant reduction in protist density, number of species and biomass. There was also a decrease in these three parameters with depth. During the treatment the density of protist groups was strongly depth-dependent. The dominant groups of protists at the different depths during the assay were also considered. The most dominant protist group in terms of density were the heterotrophic flagellates, both in the control and in the treatment with cadmium. In the treatments with cadmium, these were followed by ciliates and by dinoflagellates in both assays. In the control, all protist groups were present during the assay, whereas in the treatments with cadmium, autotrophic flagellates, diatoms and sarcodines were found in reduced proportion or not at all. Cadmium bioaccumulation increased towards the end of the assay. At any time during the assay, the proportion of cadmium bioaccumulated was an increasing function of depth.

Opis:
Many studies have reported on the toxicity and related oxidative stress of mercury. Antioxidants play an important role in counteracting metal-induced neurotoxicity under in vivo conditions. In this study, the effect of diallylsulphide (DAS) was evaluated on mercuric chloride induced activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione content in brains of rats. Pretreatment of rats with DAS in the Hg-treated group also inhibited an increase in lipid peroxidation and elevated acetyl cholinesterase and glutathione content. Activities of antioxidant enzymes were also restored concomitantly when compared to the control rats after DAS administration. DAS also caused a decrease in tumor necrosis factor-α level which was higher in HgCl2-treated group. The results indicate that DAS augments antioxidant defense with anti-inflammatory response against HgCl2-induced neurotoxicity. The increased level of antioxidant enzymes enhances the antioxidant potential of the organ to reduce oxidative stress.

Opis:
Chromium (Cr) is a micronutrient that occurs in the natural environment in different oxidation states. Natural compounds contain chromium in the +3 oxidation state, whereas chromic(VI) acid derivatives are industrial products with strong toxicity. Hexavalent chromium compounds can adversely affect the respiratory system and the gastrointestinal tract, cause skin changes, and exert carcinogenic, mutagenic, embryotoxic as well as teratogenic effects. Research indicates that both organic and inorganic trivalent chromium compounds improve carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. These compounds are found in many enzymes, and they influence antioxidant processes, regulation of immune responses, and the secretion of hormones and selected vitamins in the body. In animals, Cr has been found to increase fat-free body mass, improve reproductive parameters, enhance growth, increase feed conversion efficiency, boost immunity, and decrease mortality. It has been suggested that Cr supplements can intensify the effects of insulin, decrease the plasma levels of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs), decrease triglyceride concentrations in the liver, and improve glucose tolerance, thus improving the performance and productivity of cattle in the perinatal period. Symptoms of chromium deficiency, including decreased feed intake, lower weight gains, reproductive disorders, and higher lipid levels, are observed in cattle fed diets that are low in this nutrient, and in animals that are exposed to considerable and prolonged stress. In ruminants, chromium supplementation is recommended during thermal stress, in the perinatal period, and during infections.

Opis:
Spent of water based mud (WBM) were tested in this study. Bioassays were done on spent WBM, brine after filtration and solid phase (SP) after filtration on the press. As test organisms, green algae Kirchneriella obesa and Botrydium granulatum were used, along with the cladoceran Simocephalus vetulus and the plant Lepidium sativum. Electrolytic conductivity was between 6.43 and 240 mS/cm. The liquid phase was toxic for K. obesa in the range of dilutions between 0.21 and 0.019, considered as LC50. The parameter LC50 in the category of dilutions was 0.125 to 0.0078 SPP for S. vetulus, 0.25 to 0.094 SPP for green alga Botrydium granulatum when diluted by brown soil and 0.56 to 0.039 SPP for Lepidium sativum. Maximum quantum efficiency (QY) of plants’ photosystem II (PS II), growing on mixtures of drilling fluids with soil, did not depend on the kind of drilling fluid, whereas minimal fluorescence (F0) did. Rinsing the salt out of drilling fluids in a 1:1 proportion was effective only for bentonite mud in the test with L. sativum.

Opis:
Environmental pollution particularly heavy metal pollution into aquatic ecosystem has led to multiple damage in almost all life forms. Cadmium is one of the priority pollutant listed by United States Environmental Protection Agency or US EPA that widely known to have an adverse effect to organisms as well as human health. One type of organism that is susceptible to the effects of metal pollution is phytoplankton. Phytoplankton is a group of microalgae that are easy to find and are primary producers in aquatic environments. Phytoplankton plays an important role in aquatic ecosystems because they serve as primary producers. They are representing the water total primary productivity and reinforcing the aquatic life on the higher food chain. Thus, any threats that endangered the population of phytoplankton can lead to trophical cascade or even worse, biodiversity loss. The exposure of cadmium in high concentration to phytoplankton can lead to various impact including cell damage and disruption, biosynthesis inhibition of photosynthetic pigment (e.g. chlorophyll and carotenoid), chlorphyll degradation or known as chlorosis, thylakoid membrane degradation, inhibition of cellular metabolism and cell division. It is important to study the impact of cadmium to phytoplankton in a cellular level to better understand what mechanism lies and to what extent that the cadmium will be transferred to higher trophical organism via bioaccumulation or biomagnification.

Opis:
An important issue in construction of combustion chamber in compression-ignition engines is proper selection of its shape and size. Both features are dependent on several factors such as fuel injector location and angle, spray atomizer selection (amount of holes, their diameter and angular position), location of inlet valve and air turbulence. By doing research on prototype engine T370, an analysis of influence of combustion chamber size and its modifications going towards lip construction on flue gas toxicity was done. The diameter and depth of combustion chamber was being changed while maintaining the same compression ratio. After that, a modification of tested combustion chambers was made by creating so called “lip”, which aim was to create a swirl of injected fuel in the vertical plane. To visualize the changes in swirl, a numerical analysis of fuel injection into combustion chamber was made. In discussed study, emission tests were performed according to ECE-R49. During the research six combustion chambers with diameters 60, 63 and 66 mm (and their modification) were investigated. Tests were performed for several types of injectors and different injection timing. However, for analysis of combustion chamber size the results are presented for the same injectors but with optimized injection timing.

Opis:
Histamine was discovered in the year 1910 and subsequently histamine toxicity was reported from several marine foods especially from fish. Detailed research has proved that different species of fishes are known to accumulate large quantity of histamine and the histamine is heat stable. Reason for the histamine toxicity was due to the consumption of fishes with high level of histamine. Ancient systems of medicine such as Ayurveda and Siddha are 5000 years old. Ayurveda and siddha clearly dictates the avoidance of fish by patients who suffer from various diseases such as psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, urticaria, anemia, duodenal ulcer, irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis etc. In all the above diseases histamine is either the trigger or the cause of the disease, therefore reducing histamine burden is also one of the treatment strategies. Histamine toxicity in fish and sea foods are great concern and the histamine is harmful to many diseases. Ancient siddhars have advised the patients to suffer from various diseases to avoid fish may be due to histamine toxicity. In the light of the present revelation about histamine toxicity in fish and the fish avoidance prescription of Ayurveda and Siddha clearly indicates that the Ayurveda and Siddha scholars were clearly aware of histamine toxicity 5000 years ago. Details are presented in the paper.

Opis:
Regimen-related mucosal toxicity is extremely common following cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Mucositis is as an important determinant of the inflammatory response and infectious complications in cancer treated patients. Most assessment scales for mucosal damage are focussed on oral mucositis, since it is easy to evaluate. Measuring gastrointestinal musocal damage objectively remains difficult because it cannot be seen directly or readily detected. One of potential non-invasive biomarkers of gastrointestinal mucosal damage is plasma citrulline level. Citrulline is an amino acid produced by small bowel enterocytes. Low concentration of free circulating citrulline signifies severe intestinal mucosal damage in humans with nonmalignant disorders, such as villous atrophy-associated diseases, short bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, and is used in follow-up after small bowel transplantation. The plasma citrulline level is a reliable and objective biochemical marker of enterocyte mass and function in humans, and therefore can be used to monitor enterocyte toxicity resulting from chemotherapy and radiotherapy during anticancer therapy in patients with severely disturbed gut integrity.

Opis:
Coins are foreign objects that are commonly ingested by children and pets due to their shiny appearance and bright colors. The current study investigated whether Turkish coins can lead to zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) toxicity as a result of exposure to simulated gastric juice (i.e. hydrochloric acid solution simulating the gastric environment). Five groups of coins were exposed to simulated gastric juice (0.15 N, pH:1-2) for a period of 4 (Group 1), 12 (Group 2), 24 (Group 3), 48 (Group 4), 72 (Group 5) and 120 h (Group 5) at body temp. (37°C). Zinc and copper levels were determined in the gastric acid solution by using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrophotometer (ICP-OES). The coins were also evaluated for corrosive damage and weight loss. Group 5 had statistically higher Cu and Zn levels versus the other groups. However, at body temp. (37°C), copper and zinc levels increased steadily in parallel to the duration for which the coin remained in the stomach after ingestion. After 120-hour exposure at 37°C, all coins had various types of damage compared to the baseline, such as color alteration, erosion, and visible surface cavities. The mechanisms relating to local and systemic copper and zinc toxicity caused by coin ingestion is yet to be clarified for both Turkish and international coins. Therefore, it can be foreseen that intervention is required in the first 24 h after ingesting 5 kuruş coins and, unless removed spontaneously in 48 h, such intervention is needed for the other coins.

Opis:
Introduction and aim. COVID-19 is a viral infectious disease, which was first reported in patients with unusual pneumonia in December 2019. However, as the pandemic progressed, extrapulmonary manifestations including various neurologic complications have been started to be increasingly reported. In this retrospective study, we tried to search the neurological complications seen in our patients with positive rRT-PCR test for COVID-19 and examine the underlying associated risk factors. Material and methods. We have retrospectively analyzed the neuroimaging studies performed in our patients with positive rRT-PCR test for COVID-19 between April, 2020 and August, 2021. Both computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imagings (MRI) of brain, head & neck region and the spine were retrospectively evaluated for the presence of any complications in patients with positive rRT-PCR test for COVID-19. Results. There were 147 patients having neuroradiological imaging studies performed for various neurological symptoms. Among these patients we detected 10 acute neurologicalcomplications.The most common was acute ischemic stroke in 5 patients and intracranial hemorrhage in 3 patients, two of which were intraventricular hemorrhage. The other complications included a preasumed cytotoxic lesion of corpus callosum in a 18 year old girl and lumbar spondylodiscitis complicated with psoas abcess in a 47 year-old man. Conclusion. In COVID-19 patients severe neurological complications can occur even as a presenting manifestation. Early cytotoxic endothelial injury can be the underlying cause in these patients and should be further studied in larger series in terms of what the susceptibility factors in these patients.
