Article Citation - WoS: 4Relationship Between Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin and Mortality in Acute Kidney Injury(Galenos Yayincilik, 2018-12-03) Kayaalti, Selda; Kayaalti, Omer; Aksebzeci, Bekir HakanObjective: Almost half of intensive care patients are affected by acute kidney injury (AKI). The purpose of this study is to determine parameters that can be used for predicting of early (within 28 days) and late (within 90 days) mortality in patients who are followed-up with AKI in intensive care units. Materials and Methods: In this study, a dataset that contains 50 patients with AKI in intensive care units was used. This dataset contains blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, plasma and urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated hpocalin (NGAL), lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and gammaglutamyl transpeptidase values of patients who were admitted to intensive care for various reasons and who developed AKI on the days 1, 3 and 7. In addition to these values, laboratory results such as serum electrolytes on day 1, blood gas; vital signs such as mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure; and demographic data were also recorded. Data mining techniques were applied to determine correlation between all of these data and mortality. Results: The threshold level of urinary NGAL on day 7 was determined to be 69 ng/mL, and strong correlation was found between this threshold level and early mortality. Similarly, the threshold level of plasma NGAL on day 7 was determined to be 150 ng/mL, and this was highly correlated with early mortality. Besides, strong correlation was also found between the difference in the urinary NGAL levels on day 1 and 7, and early mortality. Conclusion: In this study, plasma and urinary NGAL levels were found to be closely related to early mortality in patients who were followed-up with AKI in intensive care units. On the other hand, any parameter associated with late mortality was not found.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Meme Kanseri Histopatolojik Görüntülerinin Bilgisayar Destekli Sınıflandırılması(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017-10) Aksebzeci, Bekir Hakan; Kayaaltı, ÖmerNowadays, one of the most common types of cancer is breast cancer. The early and accurate diagnosis of breast cancer has great importance in the treatment of the disease. In the diagnosis of breast cancer, histopathological analysis of cell and tissue specimens taken by biopsy is considered as the gold standard. Histopathological analysis is a tedious process that is highly dependent on the knowledge and experience of the pathologists. In this study; it is aimed to develop a computer-Aided system that can reduce the workload of pathologists and help them in their diagnosis. An image set containing benign and malignant tumor images of breast cancer has been studied. To perform texture analysis on tumor images; first order statistics, Gabor and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) feature extraction methods have been applied. Then, various classifiers were applied to the obtained feature matrices and their performances were compared. The highest classification accuracy was achieved 82.06% by Random Forests classifier with feature combination of Gabor and GLCM methods. The results presented here show that computer-Assisted diagnosis of breast cancer is a promising field. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
