Comparison of Rapid Antibody Test and Thorax Computed Tomography Results in Patients who Underwent RT-PCR with the Pre-Diagnosis of COVID-19.
In this study, it is planned to compare the real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test, which is the gold standard in the diagnosis of COVID-19, with thorax computed tomography (CT) and rapid antibody test results. ⋯ Rapid antibody test and thorax CT examinations were found to have low diagnostic value in patients who admitted to the emergency department of our hospital and whose first RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 test was positive. Studies involving larger patient groups are needed for their use alone in diagnosis and screening.

Investıgatıon of clınıcal and pathologıcal fındıngs due to anatomıcal localızatıon ın patıents wıth colorectal cancer.
We classified anatomical localisation tumours of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer and undergoing surgery as right and left colon and we aimed to determine how this funding affects the prognosis of the disease and survival times. ⋯ We are thinking that in colorectal cancer, the anatomical localisation of the tumour can hold an important place to determine the clinical differences such as, the disease symptoms, course, treatment options and survival status.
