    (Verduci Publisher, 2013) Soydinc, E.; Soydinc, S.; Ariturk, Z.; Tekbas, E.; Cakici, M.; Islamoglu, Y.; Ercan, S.
    AIM: We aimed to investigate the relationship between PCOS and epicardial fat thickness with transthoracic echocardiography. PATIENTS AND METHODS: PCOS patients were divided into two groups according to the lean or obesity status: PCOS patients with lean 34 subjects (BMI: 23.3+/-2.8; mean age: 25.5+/-4), PCOS patients with obese16 subjects (BMI: 32.3+/-7.6; mean age: 27.2+/-3.7) were compared with control healthy lean subjects (BMI: 23.5+/-1.7; mean age: 25.9+/-2.2). RESULTS: There was increased epicardial thickness in obese PCOS subjects compared to lean PCOS subjects (6.3+/-0.9 mm, 4.7+/-0.5, respectively, p < 0.001). However, epicardial fat thickness between lean PCOS subjects and lean healthy control groups were not significantly varied (4.7+/-0.5 mm, 4.5+/-0.5, respectively, p = 0.6). There was increased epicardial thickness in obese PCOS subjects compared to lean healthy control subjects (6.3+/-0.9 mm, 4.5+/-0.5, respectively, p < 0.001). This sudy showed for the first time that increased epicardial fat thickness measured using transthoracic echocardiography is associated with increased BMI in PCOS subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Epicardial fat thickness between lean PCOS subjects and lean healty control group were similar which indicate the importance of obesity in PCOS subjects.

    A rare cause of syncope: cough
    (Verduci Publisher, 2012) Ariturk, Z.; Alici, H.; Cakici, M.; Davutoglu, V.
    Background: Syncope is a transient loss of consciousness, associated with loss of postural tone, with spontaneous return to baseline neurologic function. Syncope is a common complaint in the Emergency Department. Objectives: Cough syncope occurs immediately after coughing. Cough syncope rapidly recovers in 1-2 second. Although cough syncope has been classified in vasovagal syncope, it may differ from pathogenetic mechanism. Physicians should be aware of this easily recognizable cough induced syncope. Case Report: We present a 59-year-old obese man was referred for clinical evaluation because of recurrent syncope without seizures following coughing who developed cough syncope. Conclusions: Physicians should be aware of this easily recognizable cough induced syncope in all subjects admitted with syncope and should screen possible underlying sources of cough.
