Communicating Hydrocephalus In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Ramazan Albayrak, Sai̇t Albayram, Hakan Selçuk, Sebahatti̇n Sai̇p, Hali̇t Yilmaz, Ci̇van Işlak Jan 2006

Communicating Hydrocephalus In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Ramazan Albayrak, Sai̇t Albayram, Hakan Selçuk, Sebahatti̇n Sai̇p, Hali̇t Yilmaz, Ci̇van Işlak

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement has been recognized as the second leading cause of death in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), although hydrocephalus is seen very rarely. We report a case of communicating hydrocephalus in a 24-year-old woman having previously diagnosed SLE without antiphospholipid antibody syndrome or cerebral venous angiographic abnormality. We propose direct damage-thrombosis of small sized venous structures or immune complex deposition within arachnoid villi, which impair cerebrospinal fluid flow, as a possible, yet unproven, pathophysiologic mechanism for hydrocephalus in SLE.

Estimation Of Sensitivity And Specificity For Clustered Data, Yasemi̇n Genç, Derya Gökmen, Ersöz Tüccar, Banu Yağmurlu

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The most commonly used measurements for evaluating the accuracy of diagnostic tests in binary data are sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity refers to the ability of a test to detect patients with some specific disease. Specificity describes how well test abnormality is restricted to those persons who have the disease in question. The variance estimators of these measurements are usually obtained using a binomial estimator, although there are several other methods. However, under certain conditions more than one observation can be taken from a subject and analyses are performed on these observations. This type of data structure is called "clustered data". …
