The aim of this research is to determine the determinative role of the emotional intelligence sub-dimensions (Assessing others emotions, evaluating their own emotions, regulating emotions, using social skills, use of emotion) in determining the levels of mental toughness of the athletes with disabilities. A total of 261 athletes from 165 disabled athletes (wheelchair basketball, amputee football, sitting volleyball, badminton), male (63.2%) (24.40±5.48 years old) and 96 female (36.0%) participated voluntarily. Within the scope of the research, information about socio-demographic variables was collected by the personal information form created by the researchers. To reach the purpose of the research; The Sport Mental Toughness Questionnaire made by Altıntaş and Bayar (2015) and the Emotional Intelligence Inventory in Sport adapted to Turkish by Adiloğulları and Görgülü (2015) were used. In the analysis of the data, firstly, when the skewness and kurtosis values for the normality assumptions were examined, it was determined that the distribution was normal. In this direction correlation analysis to determine the relationship between variables, stepwise regression analysis was used to determine the power of independent variables in predicting dependent variables. According to the findings obtained as a result of the research, it has been determined that the emotional intelligence levels of the athletes are important determinants of the mental toughness levels, and the analysis completed in three stages explains 56% of the variance.

The high mortality rate of Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients is partly due to the invasive behavior of the tumor cells. Given the increased resistance to conventional therapies of invasive cells after surgical operations, current treatments are ineffective. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of GBM cell invasion is critical for the development of successful therapeutic approaches. Natural small molecules and metabolites are widely used as chemotherapeutic and adjuvant agents in cancer treatments because they have strong anticancer properties and minimal side effects. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that has been found to reduce the level of ROS and increase GPx activity in cancer patients. In this study, we analyzed the in-vitro cytotoxic potential and apoptotic effect in A172 and U373 cells in the presence of various concentrations (7.8-500 µM) of ALA. We also investigated scratch assay in both cell lines. The ALA inhibited cell viability of A172 and U373 cells at 48h. In addition, Bax mRNA expression was significantly increased in response to ALA for A172 cells. Furthermore, the BCL-2 level was decreased in A172 cells with ALA after 48h. Caspase 3 and 9 mRNA expressions were increased in ALA treated U373 cell line. In summary, we found that ALA inhibits cell growth and causes apoptosis in A172 and U373 glioblastoma cells.

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the thoughts and attitudes of young adults about HPV and HPV vaccines. Methods: This study was planned as a cross-sectional study to determine the knowledge levels and attitudes of young people living in a settlement in the middle of Turkey about the HPV vaccine. The research was conducted with 870 young adults between 1-30 November 2022. Results: The average age of the young people participating in the study was 20.49 ± 2.15 years, 60.9% of them were male. 61% have not heard of the PAP-Smear test before, 51.3% do not know what HPV is, only 17.7% have HPV by vaccination, 8% have HPV vaccine, 24.75% 37.9% of them stated that they wanted to have the HPV vaccine and that the HPV vaccine should be free of charge. Conclusion: It was determined that the knowledge level of young adults about HPV and HPV vaccine, in general, was very low, only one out of four people wanted to be vaccinated against HPV, and the rate of vaccination was very low. Even if the vaccine is free in our country, it is thought that the vaccination rates will be low.

Background: Breast cancer is a major cause of death in women worldwide. Propolis antitumor activity has become the subject of growing research related to breast cancer. Algerian propolis is being studied for its antitumor activity on several cell lines. However, little is known about its cytotoxic activity on the human breast adenocarcinoma cell line. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the cytotoxic effect of Algerian propolis on human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MDA-MB-231) and explain its mechanism of action. Methods: Cytotoxic activity was evaluated using an MTT assay, and mechanisms involved in the cytotoxic activity were also investigated. In addition, the chemical profile was analyzed by the determination of TP and TF contents. Results: TP and TF of the tested propolis varied between 1.36±0.15 and 97.85±2.98 GAE μg/mg for TP and 0.08±0.10 and 33.22±1,17QE μg/mg for TF. Propolis treatment of MD-MB-231 cells for 24 hours was found to suppress the growth of the tested cell line in a dose-dependent manner. The tested propolis probably induced an intrinsic pathway of apoptosis through caspase cascade and activation of pro-apoptotic proteins, such as BAX, p53, and p21. In addition, cell proliferation was found to be inhibited by the diminution of CYCLIN2 and CDK4 activities associated with the increase in P21 acting as a protein inhibitor. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that Algerian propolis could be used as a complementary treatment for breast cancer. Our propolis was found to suppress the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cell proliferation.

In this correlational study, the aim was to investigate the vocabulary of 31 Arab students who learned Turkish as a foreign language through lessons with distance education. Total words, different words, and the ratio of these two variables, word frequencies were all measured. The correlations between the variables, and the differences between the categories and word counts were analyzed. Lastly, the word list was given. According to findings, the students wrote 57,5 words per participant, which consisted of 41.3 different words on average. The ratio between these two variables was 73.8%. Students wrote a total of 506 different words and 1781 total words. The most used 44 words consisted of the 52.9% of all words used by all participants. There was no correlation between age and other variables while total words had significant relationships with different words and the ratio. Similarly, different words had a correlation with the ratio. There were significant differences between male and female students according to different word numbers, while they were similar in total word counts and in ratio. Students had significantly better results in different and total word numbers as their proficiency classes (A1 and A2) got higher.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence, risk factors, clinical presentation, management, morbidity and mortality of ectopic pregnancy (EP) by evaluating all cases treated in a tertiary care center in Ankara. Methods: A total of 1243 cases were retrospectively studied who were diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy during the clinical course and were treated in the early pregnancy unit between January 2014 and December 2018. Demographic information from hospital records, e.g., risk factors, ultrasound findings, initial and followed up b-hCG levels, and treatment methods (followed up, medical, and surgical) were recorded. Results: The incidence of EP was 7 per 1000 pregnancies. The mean age was 30.64±5.71 years. The most common risk factors for EP were previous abdominal surgery (37.8%) and previous miscarriage (28.6%). Eighty-three (22%) of patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2014, 129 (34.2%) of patients diagnosed between 2015 and 2016, and 165 (43.8%) of patients diagnosed between 2017 and 2018 had a history of Cesarean section. Seventy-seven (6.2%) cases were followed up, 487 (39.2%) were treated surgically, and 772 (62.1%) were treated with methotrexate. Conclusion: Delivery by Cesarean section is a risk factor for the development of EP. Cesarean section has been shown to be an important factor in the increase of the incidence of EP over the years. As a result of this increase, new treatments have been developed and conservative surgical or drug treatments have been initiated. Close monitoring of the current literature evaluating ectopic pregnancies and treatment according to this literature will decrease mortality and morbidity rates.

Objective: Our objective was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of YouTube videos about penile doppler ultrasonography (PDU), a diagnostic tool for erectile dysfunction. Material and Methods: Videos on YouTube were searched using the term “Penile Doppler Ultrasonography”. The most related 48 videos were included in to study. For each video, uploader type (physician, patient, or YouTuber), target group (physicians or non-physicians), video duration, upload date, daily view count, the total number of views, and the number of likes and comments were recorded. The reliability and quality of the content of these videos included in the study were evaluated using JAMA, DISCERN, and GQS scores. Results: The physicians uploaded all of the videos used in the study. It was shown that 27 (56%) of the videos were prepared for physicians, and the remaining videos were prepared for non-physicians. All the videos had general information about the PDU, 32 (67%) videos gave theoretical information, and 23 (48%) videos gave information about the application of the PDU. When the videos were examined according to the target group, it was shown that the videos prepared for physicians had a longer duration (p=,001) but had a lower number of comments and views (p=,012 and p=.046, respectively). In addition, when the video content quality and reliability were examined, the average JAMA score was 2.5, the GQS score was 3.44, and the DISCERN score was 52.2. It was found that the quality and reliability scores were statistically higher in the videos prepared for physicians (p

Aim: To evaluate the phacoemulsification results of patients with primary angle closure (PAC) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) using the Pentacam system. Method: This retrospective cohort study included patients with PAC and PACG who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation between 2018 and 2021 in one tertiary center. Anterior chamber parameters measured using the Pentacam system and gonioscopic and intraocular pressure (IOP) changes were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively. Results: Nineteen eyes of 13 patients with PAC and PACG were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 63.2 years, and 30.8% were male. The mean preoperative and postoperative third-month IOP was 21.0 ± 7.4 mmHg (11-40) and 13.7± 2.5 mmHg (9-18), respectively (p < 0.01). The mean preoperative anterior chamber angle (ACA) measured by the Pentacam system was 21.07 ± 4.16° (13-27). The mean preoperative anterior chamber depth (ACD) and the anterior chamber volume (ACV) measured by the Pentacam system were 1.79 ± 0.24 mm (1.39-2.22) and 72.55 ± 20.64 mm3 (45-109), respectively. The postoperative third-month topographic measurements were as follows: mean angle, 35.76 ± 7.32° (20.1-46.9); mean ACD, 3.52 ± 0.95 mm (1.15-4.46); and mean ACV, 133.21 ± 25.21 mm3 (81-173) (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Pentacam is a useful system to evaluate anterior segment changes after phacoemulsification in patients with PAC and PACG. Phacoemulsification was found to result in significant IOP reduction in these patients.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder. We aimed to investigate the effects of regular swimming exercise and melatonin applied in the 6-Hydroxydopamine-induced Parkinson's disease rats by analysing dendritic spine of striatal neurons. Twenty-four male Wistar albino rats were used. 6-Hydroxydopamine unilaterally injected four (control, exercise, melatonin and exercise + melatonin) groups were included in the study. Tyrosine hydroxylase expression was detected by immunohistochemistry. Neurons and structures were identified from three-dimensional images by Neurolucida software. There was not any apparent difference for tyrosine hydroxylase positive neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and fibres in the striatum between the lesion sides of hemiparkinsonian groups. The treatment groups blocked the apomorphine-induced increase in rotations compared to the control group. In stepping test, the treatment groups prevented the loss of stepping in the contralateral side of hemiparkinsonian groups. The melatonin mostly had a positive effect on motor activity tests. In morphological analyses, the 6-Hydroxydopamine-induced lesion led to the reduction of the total dendritic length and number of branches. In the treatment groups, the reduction of the dendritic parameters was not observed. 6-Hydroxydopamine lesion led to a decrease in the total spine density, spine densities of thin and mushroom types. The exercise and melatonin treatments prevented the loss of spine density. The exercise treatment prevented the loss of spine density of mushroom type spines. The melatonin treatment blocked the loss of spine density of stubby type. In conclusion, these results provide evidence for effective additional protective therapeutic strategies for Parkinson\"s disease. In conclusion, results from the current study provide evidence for swimming exercise and melatonin as a promising candidate for effective additional protective strategies for PD.

Epiphytes on Posidonia oceanica play a crucial role for determination of the ecological status of marine environment in time and space besides the seagrasses alone. The study was aimed to estimate the spatiotemporal ecological status linked to variation in biometry of an epiphytic micro-calcareous red alga, Hydrolithon boreale, found on leaves of the meadow with the exclusive environmental parameters along the entire Turkish coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Collection of Posidonia oceanica samples was conducted at 64 stations in winter (December 2018-January 2019) and 112 stations in summer (June-July 2019) by SCUBA (0.4 × 0.4 m of a quadrate frame) in the infralittoral zone along the entire Turkish Mediterranean coast surrounded by the siliciclastic Taurus Mountain Range which favor growth of epiphytic micro-calcareous red algae. Percent occurrence of the epiphyte changed seasonally-lower in winter (25%) than in summer (44%). The epiphyte which is an indicator and sensitive to undisturbed marine area grew up well to 5 mm in diameter, 0.35 mm in thickness of the crust size, and was populated up to 1006 ind/m

Magnetic recording devices are still competitive in the storage density race with solid-state devices thanks to new technologies such as two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR). Advanced data processing schemes are needed to guarantee reliability in TDMR. Data patterns where a bit is surrounded by complementary bits at the four positions with Manhattan distance $1$ on the TDMR grid are called plus isolation (PIS) patterns, and they are error-prone. Recently, we introduced lexicographically-ordered constrained (LOCO) codes, namely optimal plus LOCO (OP-LOCO) codes, that prevent these patterns from being written in a TDMR device. However, in the high-density regime or the low-energy regime, additional error-prone patterns emerge, specifically data patterns where a bit is surrounded by complementary bits at only three positions with Manhattan distance $1$, and we call them incomplete plus isolation (IPIS) patterns. In this paper, we present capacity-achieving codes that forbid both PIS and IPIS patterns in TDMR systems with wide read heads. We collectively call the PIS and IPIS patterns rotated T isolation (RTIS) patterns, and we call the new codes optimal T LOCO (OT-LOCO) codes. We analyze OT-LOCO codes and present their simple encoding-decoding rule that allows reconfigurability. We also present a novel bridging idea for these codes to further increase the rate. Our simulation results demonstrate that OT-LOCO codes are capable of eliminating media noise effects entirely at practical TD densities with high rates. To further preserve the storage capacity, we suggest using OP-LOCO codes early in the device lifetime, then employing the reconfiguration property to switch to OT-LOCO codes later. While the point of reconfiguration on the density/energy axis is decided manually at the moment, the next step is to use machine learning to take that decision based on the TDMR device status., Comment: 15 pages (double column), 11 figures, submitted to the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics (TMAG). arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2010.10686

Aim: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a common method for patients who cannot be oral-fed. This study aims to evaluate the demographic characteristics, indication of PEG and early ( days) complications of PEG patients performed in our hospital over four years. Material and Method: The study is a retrospective study. This study includes patients who underwent percutaneous endoscopy gastrostomy between 2016-2020 in the endoscopy unit and intensive care units in the general surgery clinic of our hospital. The age, gender, comorbidities, length of hospital stay, PEG indications, the day of hospitalization, the complications, if any, and the day the complications developed were recorded on the computer. Complications before 30 days were divided into groups as early complications and those developing after 30 days of late complications. Results: A total of 207 patients the PEG procedure. When PEG indications were examined, it was observed that the most common cause was cerebrovascular events with a rate of 44.93%. Complications were observed in 19 (9.18%) of the patients after the procedure. 68.42% (13) of complications were seen before 30 days. In the evaluation, which was grouped as non-complicated and complicated patients, no significant difference was observed between age, gender, systemic diseases, time to PEG procedure, endoscopic or surgical opening, and mortality rates. Conclusion: Although PEG is a more invasive method compared to other methods in terms of enteral nutrition, it is the most preferred feeding method due to its low complication rate, fast and easy application, and low cost. PEG is recommended for eligible patients who are scheduled for long-term enteral nutrition.

Background/Aim: Gastrointestinal system (GIS) perforations cause acute abdomen an indication for emergency intervention. Early detection is very important in gastrointestinal perforations to prevent mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to examine whether immature granulocyte (IG) and IG percentages (IG%) can be used as a simple and easy marker for identifying gastrointestinal system perforations early on. Methods: Between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2022, 120 patients who presented to Hitit University Erol Olçok Training and Research Hospital's emergency service and underwent surgery on by the General Surgery Clinic with the diagnosis of the acute abdomen were investigated. The patients were divided into two groups. Patients in group 1 included those with peptic ulcers and bowel perforations. Group 2 was considered the control group. Of the 36 patients in group 2, 22 had acute appendicitis, 12 had ileus-related bridectomy or bowel resection, and two had acute cholecystitis. The common patient feature in this group was full-thickness or serosal iatrogenic bowel injury and repair. Pre-operative IG and IG% values were obtained from routine complete blood count values. IG and IG% values were compared between groups 1 and 2, and the predictive value of these biomarkers in the early diagnosis of GIS perforations was investigated. Results: The mean age of the patients was 55.49 (19.58). The study consisted of 45 (37.5%) female patients and 75 (62.5%) male patients. Group 1 had 84 patients, whereas Group 2 had 36. When the two groups were evaluated, the IG value was higher in Group 1 (P < 0.001). In terms of the percentage value of immature granulocytes, a statistically significant difference was found between Groups 1 and 2 (P = 0.001). As a result, Group 1's IG and IG% values were much greater than those in Group 2. Conclusion: IG and IG% values are inflammatory parameters that can be easily studied in routine hematology tests. According to this study, IG and IG% values were found to be higher in gastrointestinal tract perforations based on result blood tests taken at the time of admission to the emergency department.

Background Brachial plexus block is one of the peripheral nerve blocks commonly used in regional anesthesia. We aimed to investigate whether the perfusion index (PI) measurement can be used to evaluate the adequacy of the upper limb blocks accompanied by ultrasonography. Thirty-three patients between the ages of 18 and 65 who were in the ASA I–II group who will have a hand, forearm, and arm operation were included in the study. An appropriate type of brachial plexus block was applied to these patients under the guidance of ultrasonography. After the block application was completed, the sensory and motor blocks were evaluated at the 5th, 10th, and 20th min. In addition, perfusion indices measured from both extremities of the patient were recorded at the 5th, 10th, and 20th min. Results In 32 of 33 patients who underwent brachial plexus block, our block was successful, and perfusion index measurements in the applied limb increased continuously from the 5th min over the 20-min observation period. In one patient who failed the block and in the arm group without block, no statistically significant difference was detected in the 5th, 10th, and 20th min perfusion index measurements. Conclusions Perfusion index measurement is a very valuable and usable method to evaluate the success of peripheral nerve blocks early, easily, and objectively.

With the growth of interest in veterinary ethics, the teaching of ethics to veterinary students has become more important. This study collects comprehensive data about ethics education at veterinary faculties in Turkey to contribute to the international literature. A cross-sectional descriptive survey design is used to collect data via questionnaire. Of the 31 faculty members actively teaching ethics at 24 of the 29 veterinary faculties in Turkey (as of the end of 2021), 30 responded to the survey. By the end of 2021, ethics courses in 24 veterinary faculties in Turkey were conducted between the 7th and 10th semesters with similar content across the examined institutions. Of the 31 faculty members responsible for ethics education, 22 were ethicists. Theoretical lectures and multiple-choice tests were the most preferred methods for teaching and assessment. The most preferred learning outcome to be gained by students was ethical awareness. Integrity by ethicists and morality by faculty members from other departments were considered the most important virtues. The collected qualitative data regarding the strengths of ethics education and areas for improvement were varied and controversial. Ethics training should be an ongoing process throughout veterinary education. Applied ethics education should be comprehensively included in the curricula and carried out with the cooperation of faculty members working in clinical fields.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, pankreas kanserli hastaların laboratuvar verileri üzerinden rezeke edilebilen ve edilemeyen hastalar karşılaştırılarak, hematolojik parametrelerin ve CA19-9’un inoperabilitenin değerlendirilmesinde prediktif faydası araştırıldı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 2015-2021 yılları arasında Hitit Üniversitesi Erol Olçok Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde pankreas kanseri teşhisi konan 147 birey dahil edildi. Hastalar ameliyat olanlar (grup 1) ve ameliyat olamayanlar (grup 2) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Trombosit/ortalama trombosit hacim oranı (P/MPV), trombosit/trombosit dağılım hacim oranı (P/PDW), nötrofil/lenfosit oranı (NLR), lenfosit/monosit oranı (LMR) ve C-reaktif protein/lenfosit (CRP/L) oranları hesaplandı.Bulgular: Hastaların NLO, kitle boyutu, CRP/L, C reaktif protein (CRP) ve Ca-19.9 düzeyleri gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı fark görüldü. Grup 2’de yer alan ve superior mezenterik arter (SMA), superior mesenteric ven (SMV) invazyonu olan hastalar (n:26) Grup I ile karşılaştırıldığında; yaş, NLR, kitle boyutu, P/PDW, P/MPV, CRP, CRP/L, trombosit dağılım hacim (PDW) ve Ca 19-9 değerleri arasında istatistiksel fark saptandı.Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, NLR, CRP, CRP/L, CA 19-9 seviyeleri ve tümör kitlesinin, rezektabl cerrahi şansını belirlemede önemli ölçüde ilişkili olduğu ortaya çıktı. Rezektabl olmama veya vasküler invazyon durumlarında, bu değerlerin gereksiz laparotomileri önlememize yardımcı olabileceğini tahmin ediyoruz., Aim: In this study, by comparing resectable and unresectable patients over the laboratory data of patients with pancreatic cancer, the predictive usefulness of haematological parameters and CA19-9 in the evaluation of inoperability was explored.Material and Method: The study included 147 individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at Hitit Univesity Erol Olçok Training and Research Hospital between 2015 and 2021. Patients were divided into two groups: those who had surgery (group 1) and those who were unable to have surgery (group 2). The platelet/mean platelet volume ratio (P/MPV), platelet/platelet distribution volume ratio (P/PDW), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), and C- reactive protein/lymphocyte ratios (CRP/L) were all calculated.Result: When the patients’ NLR, mass size, CRP/L, CRP, and CA-19.9 levels were compared between groups, a significant difference was observed. When the age, NLR, mass size, P/PDW, P/MPV, CRP (C reactive protein), CRP/L, platelet distribution volume (PDW), and CA 19-9 values of patients in Group 2 with superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) invasion (n:26) were compared to those in Group I, a statistical difference was detected.Conclusion: In this study, NLR, CRP, CRP/L, CA 19-9 levels, and tumour mass were revealed to be significantly relevant in determining the chance of resectable surgery. In cases of unresectability or vascular invasion, we anticipate that these values can assist us prevent unnecessary laparotomies.

Presbycusis is bilateral sensorineural hearing loss associated with the progressive degeneration of cochlear and central auditory pathways with aging.We aimed to reveal age-related changes in middle ear function by using wideband tympanometry (WBT).Fifty-eight patients diagnosed with presbycusis were compared to 52 audiologically healthy participants. WBT measurement was performed on both earsThere were no statistically significant differences detected among the resonance frequencies or maximum absorbance ratios measured in both ears between groups (The significant differences detected in compliance and absorbance values for high frequencies in presbycusis patients were remarkable. Thus, it has been shown that WBT yields an advantage compared to traditional tympanometry in the diagnosis and treatment of middle ear diseases.

Aim: This study aims to compare the early results of laparoscopic and open surgery of gastric cancer, which is the sixth most common cancer in all age groups and both genders. Materials and Methods: Patients who were operated on for gastric cancer between May 2018 and October 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The data of patients who underwent laparoscopic and open surgery were collected and short-term results were compared. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to determine the normal distribution, mean+standard deviation, and median (minimum-maximum) were used for continuous values. Student-t-test was used for parametric measurements and the Mann-Whitney-u test was used for non-parametric measurements. The chi-square test was used for categorical variables. Results: The results of 140 patients included in the study were analyzed. In laparoscopic surgery, the length of stay in the intensive care unit was shorter and the number of lymph nodes removed was found to be higher. Length of hospital stay and postoperative complications were similar. The operation time was longer in laparoscopic surgeries. Conclusion: Considering the results of this study, in which we compared our short-term results, we can predict that laparoscopic gastric resection can be safely performed by experienced surgeons in appropriate centers. As surgical experience increases, we believe that laparoscopy, which is the gold standard in surgeries such as gallbladder, appendectomy, and prostatectomy, may become the gold standard in gastric cancer surgery in the future.

In this study, we examine conformal spherically symmetric spacetime with anisotropic fluid in $f(R,ϕ)$ theory. The exact solutions of field equations are obtained for $f(R,ϕ)=(1+λη^2 ϕ^2 )R$ model. All the quantities for anisotropic fluid are investigated through equation of state constant, $ω$. The models for three different selections of $ω$ are represented for the constructed model. Moreover, string gas is the only condition that anisotropic fluid behaves as an isotropic fluid for the constructed model. Furthermore, the anisotropy parameter and causality conditions are examined. Lastly, the results for the solutions are concluded from the physical and geometrical viewpoint.

The potential protective effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on some kidney diseases have been reported. However, the effect of the fetal kidney–derived (FKD)MSCs on doxorubicin-induced nephropathy has not been studied yet. This study aimed to treat rats with doxorubicin-induced kidney injuries by transplantation of –FKD-MSCs. Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups as control, doxorubicin nephropathy (Sham), and doxorubicin + MSC treated group. Serum biochemistry analysis was performed at the beginning and the end of the study. Functional changes in kidneys were evaluated by scintigraphy. In the doxorubicin nephropathy group, histopathological findings such as mesangial cell proliferation, tubular cast, and glomerular hypertrophy were observed, whereas in the MSC group these findings were significantly reduced. CD133 and CD24 positive immunoreactions were the most severe and frequently observed in the MSC group. While positive staining was detected in the tubular epithelium, there was no immunostaining observed in the glomerulus. The results showed that both functional and histological improvements were achieved in the MSC group compared to the Sham group. In conclusion, transplantation of fetal kidney - derived MSCs into patients with renal damage is thought to contribute to the healing of the renal tissue., Mezenkimal kök hücrelerin (MKH) bazı böbrek hastalıklarındaki potansiyel koruyucu etkileri bildirilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, fetal böbrek kaynaklı MKH'ların doksorubisin ile indüklenmiş nefropati üzerindeki etkisi henüz araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, doksorubisin kaynaklı böbrek hasarı olan ratlara fetal böbrek kaynaklı MKH'ların transplantasyonu yapılarak tedavi edilmesidir. Çalışmada yirmi dört adet Sprague – Dawley ırkı rat üç gruba ayrılmıştır. Bunlar: kontrol grubu, doksorubisin nefropatisi (Sham) grubu ve doksorubisin + MKH ile tedavi edilen gruptur. Çalışmanın başında ve sonunda ratlardan kan alınarak serum biyokimya çalışılmıştır. Böbreklerdeki fonksiyonel değişiklikler sintigrafi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Doksorubisin nefropatisi grubunda mezanjiyal hücre proliferasyonu, tübüler alçı ve glomerüler hipertrofi gibi histopatolojik bulgular gözlenirken, MKH grubunda bu bulgular anlamlı olarak azalmıştır. CD133 ve CD24 pozitif immünreaksiyonlar, en şiddetli ve en sık olarak MKH grubunda gözlenmiştir. Tübüler epitelde pozitif boyanma tespit edilirken glomerulusta immün boyanma gözlenmemiştir. Sonuçlar, Sham grubuna kıyasla MKH grubunda hem fonksiyonel hem de histolojik iyileşmelerin sağlandığını göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, böbrek hasarı olan hastalara fetal böbrek kaynaklı MKH transplantasyonunun böbrek dokusunun iyileşmesine katkıda bulunduğu düşünülmektedir.

Acute otitis externa is an infection of the outer ear canal that can occur at any age and is diagnosed by symptoms and examination findings. The aims of our study were to understand the seasonal frequency of acute otitis externa and to determine the susceptibility of causative bacteria to ciprofloxacin. Discharge samples were collected from the external ear canals of 76 patients diagnosed with acute otitis externa. The samples were evaluated and culture-antibiogram results were compiled. Routine microbiological methods were used for the reproduction of clinical material as bacterial and fungal cultures. The 76 enrolled patients were 18–80 years old (mean 41.6 years). Acute otitis externa occurred most frequently during summer, especially in July. Culture results revealed Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth in 30 cases (39.4%), Staphylococcus aureus in 18 cases (23.6%), and Serratia spp. in 5 cases (6.5%), while fungal growth was observed in 10 cases (13.1%). The antibiogram analyses determined ciprofloxacin resistance in P. aeruginosa in 13 patients (43.3%) and in S. aureus in 6 patients (33.3%). Acute otitis externa should be treated with antibiotics in accordance with culture antibiogram results, while keeping in mind that bacterial causes could be ciprofloxacin resistant.
