Ölüm anlayışının temelinde, toplumun sahip olduğu inanç sistemi yer almaktadır. Bu nedenle ölümün sanattaki yerini görebilmek için öncelikle tanımını, dinlerdeki ve felsefedeki yerini, ayrıca çağlar boyunca yüklendiği anlamları bilmek gereklidir. Bu çalışmada, Tüm kavramlarla birlikte ölüm ve sanat ilişkisi kapsamında üretilen sanat eserlerinden örnekleri incelemek, ölüm anlayışının, çalışmanın temelini oluşturan sanatçılara etkisini belirlemek ve Çağdaş Türk resminde Türklerde ölüm anlayışına bağlı gelişen sembol ya da imgelerin göstergebilimsel açıdan incelenmesi amaç edinilmiştir. Bu göstergelerin incelenmesinde ölüm temasının sanatçıların bilinçaltının içsel bir şekilde dışavurumunun olup olmadığı ya da özgün bir bilinçle ele alınıp alınmadığının araştırılması hedeflenmiştir. Bu bağlamda birçok çağdaş Türk sanatçısının resimleri incelenmiş, literatür taraması, eser analizi ve röportaj yöntemiyle sonuca varılmıştır. Buna göre; kimi sanatçıların ölüm anlayışına ait sembol ya da imgeleri bir bilinç dahilin de ele aldıkları, kim sanatçıların ise plastik açıdan biçim ve form kaygısı ile yaklaştıkları tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda, Çağdaş Türk resmi ve ölüm anlayışı ile olan etkileşimlerine yönelik tespitlerde, ölüm anlayışına ait imge ve sembollerin, gerek biçim olarak, gerek plastik bir ifade unsuru olarak kullanılmasıyla sanatçıların bu kavram ve kültürlerden beslendiği belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın birinci bölümünde probleme ait tanım ve kavramların yanında Türklerde ölüm anlayışı ele alınmıştır. İkinci bölümde göstergebilimin tanımı, tarihçesi ve bağlantıları, göstergebilim sanat ilişkisi içerisinde sanat eseri inceleme, kuramsal ve kavramsal problemleri ele alınarak, ölüm imgesinin göstergeye dönüşümüne yer verilmiştir. Üçüncü bölümde ölüm anlayışının Çağdaş Türk sanatında ele alınışı ve göstergeye dönüşümü bulgular dahilin de incelenmiş, sanatçıların eserlerindeki imge ve sembollerin göstergebilim açısından çözümlemeleri yapılmıştır. Dördüncü bölümde uygulama projesine yer verilmiş, konu amaç ve yöntem olarak açıklanarak eserler değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın son bölümünde ise araştırmanın tüm verileri değerlendirilerek, elde edilen sonuçlara göre çeşitli öneriler getirilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Türk resmi, sanat, ölüm, sembol, göstergebilim., The concept of death is based on the belief system of societies. Therefore, the definition of death, its importance in religion and philosophy and the meanings attributed to it throughout the centuries should be known to understand its place in the arts. The aims of this study are: to examine examples of artworks that concern the relationship between death and art relationship along with all concepts, to determine the effect of the concept of death on the artists in the study and to do a semiotic analysis of the symbols and imageries developed in modern Turkish painting based on Turkish people's concept of death. The analysis of these signs also examined the concept of death as an inner expression of artists' subconscious and its depiction as an original awareness. Thus, many modern Turkish artists' paintings were examined, and methods such as literature review, artwork analysis and interview were used to draw conclusions. The study found that some artists embraced symbols or imageries relating to the concept of death in a conscious manner, while other artists approached the concept of death as a plastic aspect by taking style and form into consideration. The study found that the interaction between modern Turkish painting and the concept of death led artists to sustain their work with this concepts and cultures by using imageries and symbols relating to it as a form or an element of plastic expression. Along with the definition and concepts of the study's problem, the first section of the study discusses Turkish people's concept of death. The definition, history and relations of semiotics, the examination of artworks within the relationship of semiotics and art, and the transformation of death imagery into a sign discussing its theoretical and conceptual problems are included in the study's second section. The third section examines the depiction of the concept of death in modern Turkish art and the transformation of this concept into a sign within the scope of study results and presents a semiotic analysis of the imageries and symbols in the artists' works. The fourth section includes a practical application project. The subject is explained in terms of its aims and methods, and artworks are evaluated. In the study's final section, all the study data are evaluated and a variety of recommendations are given based on the results.

Halk inançları kültürün bir parçasıdır. Bu inançların kaynakları dini, ekonomik ve folklorik olabilir. Bunların bir kısmı kültüre herhangi bir başka kültürden geçmiş de olabilir. Bunların tamamının köklerini başka yerlerde aramak pek doğru bir tutum olarak görülmemelidir. Bunların çoğunluğunun içinde bulunulan kültürün bir ürünü olduğu kabul edilmelidir. Kültürü, yaşayan bir organizma olarak düşünürsek halk inançlarının bu canlıya uymaları gerekmektedir. Aksi takdirde yaşamayacaklardır. Yine bu inançların sosyolojik ve psikolojik işlev üstlendikleri ve problem çözmeye yönelik olarak ortaya çıktıkları kabul edilebilir bir gerçektir. Hatta biraz daha öteye giderek bunların bir topluluğun millet olma unsurlarından biri olduğunu ileri sürmek pek de yanlış olmayacaktır. Anahtar Sözcükler: İnanç, İman, İnanış, Hurafe, Batıl İnanç, Halk İnançları, Kutsal, Kutsal Mekân, Kutsal Zaman., Folk beliefs are part of culture. The sources of these beliefs can be religious, economic and folkloric. Some of them may have come to the culture from any other culture. Looking for the roots of all of them elsewhere should not be seen as a correct attitude. The majority of them should be regarded as a product of the culture in which they are present. If we consider culture as a living organism, folk beliefs must follow this creature. Otherwise they will not survive. Again, it is an acceptable fact that these beliefs assume sociological and psychological functions and emerge for problem solving. It would not be wrong to go even further and argue that they are one of the elements of being a nation of a community.

Toplumsal bir bilim olan iktisat; üretim, tüketim, bölüşüm ve dağıtım ilişkilerini incelerken, temeline insanı ve toplumu alır. Sanat ve sanatın bir alanı olan edebiyat ise toplum içerisinde gelişen, insan ve toplumdan hareket ederek, birçok farklı alandan etkilenen ve bu etkiyi estetik unsurlar ile gösterebilen bir yapıya sahiptir.İktisadi dönemlerin edebiyat eserlerine nasıl yansıdığının incelenmesi, edebiyat ve iktisat arasında ilişki kurulmasında üzerine çalışılmasını gerektirecek özgünlüğe ve öneme sahiptir. Gülten Akın, yaşadığı toplumun iktisadi, siyasi, toplumsal değişimlerinden etkilenmiş büyük bir şairdir. 1950’den 1980 sonrasına Türkiye’nin iktisat politikaları odağında belirlenen dönemlerinin, Gülten Akın şiirleri üzerinden okunması çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır Economics is one of the fields of social sciences; while it is defined through the relations of production, consumption and distribution, it is based on people and society.On the other hand, literature is a branch of art that is affected by many different factors such as economy, politics and social. The aim of this master's thesis is to explain the relationship between economics and literature and to investigate how literary works are effected by economic periods. The aims and objectives of the thesis proposal can be explained as making sense of the relationship between economics and literature through Gülten Akın Poems.Gülten Akın is a poet who has a very important role in Turkish Literature and Turkish Poetry. It can be seen that Gülten Akın's works were influenced by the economy, the political currents of her period and social changes in the society, and she reflected these factors in her works.

Objectives: ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is globally one of the leading causes of mortality. Determining modifiable mortality predictors to improve outcomes is critical. Total serum protein (TSP) is a composite indicator of immunity, nutrition, and inflammation and it plays a vital role in biological pathways contributing to cardiovascular diseases. TSP level has not been evaluated in patients with STEMI in the prediction of mortality previously. Materials and Methods: The patients diagnosed with STEMI between March 2007 and May 2009 were included in the study. TSP was obtained at admission to the hospital. Follow-up period of the study was 8 years and primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Participants were separated according to the presence of mortality and clinical parameters compared between these two groups. Results: The mean age of the total 99 patients was 61±12.4 years and 82 (82.8%) of them were male. While left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (p=0.001), serum albumin (p=0.014), and TSP (p

Aim of the study: Vitamin D deficiency is known to be associated with disease severity, unresponsiveness to treatment, and morbidity among patients with chronic viral hepatitis B and C, autoimmune hepatitis, and alcoholic hepatitis. This study aims to research vitamin D levels in patients suffering from cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic phases of hepatitis D. Material and methods: 170 individuals in total were included in the study in the form of two groups: the first group of 100 patients with chronic hepatitis D (CHD), 30 of whom had cirrhosis, and the second control group of 70 individuals with similar characteristics to those of the first group in terms of age, type, and seasonal sampling. Levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] were measured in the serum collected from patients and the control group. Results: The lowest 25(OH)D levels were identified in patients with cirrhotic CHD. When these levels were compared with those of the control group, they were found to be significant (15.30 +/- 6.92 and 18.90 +/- 8.30 ng/ml, respectively, p = 0.04). 25(OH)D deficiency (< 10 ng/ml) was detected at significantly higher rates in patients with both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic CHD compared to the healthy controls (30%, 25%, and 8.5%, respectively, p = 0.01). A significant correlation was established between 25(OH)D levels and bilirubin in patients with CHD (r = 0.252, p = 0.012). Multivariate analysis showed that chronic hepatitis D (odds ratio [OR] = 3.608, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.31-9.89, p = 0.013) and age (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.00-1.08, p = 0.033) were associated with vitamin D deficiency. Conclusions: Frequency of 25(OH)D vitamin deficiency is higher in patients with CHD. The identification of vitamin D levels and the replacement of any deficiency may create a positive effect on disease progression, morbidity, and mortality levels.

Aim Identifying high-risk groups in patient with coronary artery disease (CAD) is critical for predicting future adverse events. fQRS has been shown to be related to major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE) in patients with CAD. However, predictive value of fQRS for more than 5 yrs has not been evaluated. This study examined the predictive value of fQRS in patients with CAD and percutaneous coronary intervention during a 10‑yrs period.Material and methods Patients with CAD and percutaneous coronary intervention between March 2007 and May 2009 were included the study. An electrocardiogram was recorded following percutaneous coronary intervention and analyzed for the presence of fQRS. The fQRS pattern was defined as an additional spike inside the QRS complexes of at least two consecutive leads. Patients were followed for 10 yrs. A MACE was all-cause mortality or new-onset decompensated heart failure. Patients were divided into two groups according to presence or absence of MACE, and their clinical variables were compared.Results Of 1261 patients included in the study, MACE developed in 374 (29.6 %). MACE (+) patients were older (pConclusion The presence of fQRS predicted MACE during 10 yrs of follow-up of patients with CAD and percutaneous coronary intervention.

The current study depicts the effects of different insulation materials and fuel types on the cooling and heating performance of buildings situated in hot and dry, warm and humid, composite, and cold climatic conditions in India. Ten different locations chosen from diverse climatic regions were selected, and various potential parameters for expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene insulation materials were evaluated. Potential parameters, such as optimal insulation thickness, annual savings, and payback period, were computed for cooling and heating requirements and were found in the ranges of 0.0428–0.891 m, 10.83–19.19 $/m2, and 1.49–2.36 years for cooling, as well as 0.0063–0.1522 m, 0.29–55.92 $/m2, and 0.95–6.52 years for heating, respectively. An emission analysis was also carried out for the estimation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the engagement of optimal insulation thickness for heating. The GHG emissions from natural gas, coal, and diesel by the employment of various insulating materials were found in the ranges of 5.39–11.28, 9.47–32.68, and 2.26–4.51 kg/m2-year, respectively. A correlation formulation (power) for optimal insulation thickness was also carried out. For checking the preciseness of the developed mathematical models, statistical tools were utilized, and their obtained values in the satisfactory range signified the accurateness of the developed models.

Objective: Hypertension (HT) is prevalent in the general population and is associated with significant cardiovascular adverse events. Major structural and electrical remodeling occurs in the ventricular myocardium in response to the pressure overload. Increased left ventricular mass (LVM) and myocardial fibrosis contribute to the prolongation of the R wave peak time (RWPT), which may indicate electrical remodeling in patients with HT. We evaluated predictors for prolonged RWPT among patients with a previous diagnosis of HT. Methods: Consecutive patients who had a previous diagnosis of arterial HT and presented to the cardiology clinic for routine visit were included in the study. The standard 12-lead surface electrocardiography (ECG) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed on all the patients included in the study for evaluating RWPT and the epicardial fat tissue (EFT). The upper limit for the RWPT was accepted as 40 milliseconds (ms). Results: Between February 2019 and February 2020, 453 patients were screened; and of these, 237 were included in the study. The mean age was 62.1 +/- 11.2 years, and 41.8% of the included patients were men. The mean RWPT of the study population was 41.9 +/- 10.8. The RWPT was prolonged in 55 patients, and the remaining 172 patients had normal RWPT. In the univariate analysis, EFT (Odds ratio [OR] 1.222; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.077-1386; p=0.002), the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (OR 1.011; 95% CI 1.001-1.021; p=0.026), and fragmented QRS (fQRS) (OR 2.679; 95% CI 1.433-5.004; p=0.002) were associated with a prolonged RWPT. Multivariate analysis revealed that only EFT (OR 1.211; 95% CI 1.061-1.383; p=0.005) and fQRS (OR 2.796; 95% CI 1.459-5.359; p=0.002) predicted prolonged RWPT. Conclusion: Among the patients with HT, EFT and fQRS predicted prolonged RWPT. These findings may suggest that compared with increased LVM, myocardial fibrosis had a more significant impact on ventricular activation time.

– OBJECTIVE: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disease that is more common in adult women and is characterized by widespread pain in the body, especially in the musculoskeletal system. Fatigue, sleep disturbance, anxiety disorder, and depression can be observed in this syndrome alongside pain. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of FMS on the quality of life, psychological condition, and sleep quality of affected female patients and their spouses compared to women without FMS and their spouses. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty female patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia and their spouses and 38 healthy women and their spouses similar in age to these patients voluntarily participated in our study (136 participants total). The diagnosis of the patients was made according to the American College of Rheumatology. Turkish versions of the Short Form-36 (SF36), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaires with validity and reliability were applied to all participants. The statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS 24.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, US). Differences with p-values of ≤0.05 were statistically significant, and all results are expressed with a 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: A total of 136 people, including women with FMS (n=30), spouses of FMS women (n=30), non-FMS control women (n=38), and spouses of the control women (n=38), were included in the study. The patient and control groups were similar in age and gender. However, participants in the study group had higher mean Body Mass Indexes compared to the controls. Quality of life and its sub-scales (except SF-36/Social function parameter), depression, anxiety status, and sleep quality were significantly different between the patients and controls. Additionally, quality of life and its sub-scales (except SF-36/Social function parameter), depression, and anxiety status were significantly different between the spouses of the patients and controls. There were no significant differences between the groups regarding the mean SF-36/SF (p=0.995 for both). Additionally, there was no significant difference between the spouse of the patient and control regarding the mean PSQI values (p=0126). CONCLUSIONS: We believe that new and more comprehensive studies are necessary regarding the spouses of women with FMS in depression, anxiety, sleep quality disorders that we frequently see in women with FMS, and other psychosocial conditions that we have not mentioned here. In conclusion, women with FMS and their spouses.

Aim: COVID-19 infections the tissue through angiotensin converting enzyme 2 receptor, which is also expressed on endothelial cells. Endothelial dysfunction may be associated with lung involvement. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an indirect marker of endothelial dysfunction. The aim of our study was to evaluate ADMA concentrations and to identify its association with lung involvement in patients with COVID-19 disease. Methods: We included 42 patients with COVID-19 infection and lung involvement (Group 1). Forty-two age and sex matched patients without pneumonia acted as the control group (Group 2). All patients gave blood samples for ADMA at the 1st month control visit after discharge. We compared C-reactive protein (CRP) and ADMA concentrations in addition to routine biochemical parameters between groups. Results: Patients with lung involvement had higher admission glucose, CRP, and ADMA concentrations, and displayed lower hemoglobin concentration and lymphocyte count compared to patients without lung involvement. Although patients with lung involvement had higher ADMA concentrations with respect to those without; plasma ADMA levels were also higher than normal values in control group. Multivariate analysis identified log CRP concentration (OR= 3.047, 95% CI=1.881-5.023, p

Dünya nüfusu arttıkça bitkisel ve hayvansal gıda maddelerinin önemi gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Türkiye’de Cumhuriyet döneminden günümüze tarım sektörü içerisinde daha ziyade bitkisel üretime önem verilmiş ancak hayvancılık sektörüne yeteri kadar önem verilmemiştir. Dengeli beslenmede tüketilen gıdaların %42’sini hayvansal gıdaların oluşturması gerekmektedir. Ülkemizde kırmızı et fiyatlarının yüksekliği tüketicilerin kırmızı et tüketimlerini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Hayvancılık sektöründe yaşanan sorunlar, kırmızı et sektörünü, yem sanayisini, hayvancılıkla uğraşan besiciyi etkilemekte ve dolayısıyla ülke ekonomisi bu sorunlardan olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Bu çalışmada, birinci bölümünde 1923’den günümüze tarım sektörü, ikinci bölümde ise hayvancılık sektörü incelenmiştir. Üçüncü bölümde kırmızı et sektöründe üretim, tüketim, ithalat ve ihracat verileri irdelenmiştir. Türkiye’nin Avrupa Birliği ve Dünya ile kırmızı et sektöründeki durumu karşılaştırmalı olarak ortaya konulmuştur.--------------------As the world population increases, the importance of vegetable and animal food products are increasing daily. During the Turkish republic the most attention has been given to the agricultural sector. However, not enough attention has been given to the red meat and livestock industry.In a balanced diet, 42% of our food should be composed of animal products. High red meat prices have had a negative impact on the consumers. The issues that affect the livestock industry also influence the red meat sector, animal farming, and animal feed. Therefore, due to these issues the national economy is negatively affected. The first part of this research analyses agriculture, and the second part looks into the livestock industry from 1923 until now. The third part analyses the importance of red meat industry; production, consumption, import and exports. This research paper compares the red meat industry situation between Turkey, European Union and the world.

WOS: 000588732200005 PubMed: 33299785 Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a biologically active organ that has endocrine and paracrine functions. Endothelial dysfunction, systemic, and local inflammatory response, due to bio-active molecules produced by EAT, may affect aortic dissection propagation and extent. We investigated the association between EAT thickness and the extent of aortic dissection. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 78 patients with aortic dissection diagnosed by thoracoabdominal Computerized Tomography (CT). EAT was measured from the thickest part of the perpendicular plane between the pericardium and free wall of the right ventricle using CT. Aortic dissection length was measured from the beginning to the end of the dissection flap at sagittal images. Results: We included 78 patients with the mean age of 63.9 +/- 11.7 and 57 (73.5%) patients were male. Dissection length was correlated positively with EAT (r = 0.409, p < 0.001), body mass index (r = 0.408, p = 0.018), and admission systolic blood pressure (r = 0.830, p = 0.026) whereas an inverse correlation existed between age and dissection length (r = 0.318, p = 0.005). Multivariate analysis identified age and EAT as independent predictors of dissection length. Conclusion: Increased EAT was independently associated with the extent of aortic dissection. We think that either paracrine and endocrine functions of EAT might have contributed to the extent of aortic dissection.

Bu çalışmada ağır iyon füzyon reaksiyonları çiftlenmiş kanal metodu ile 48 adet reaksiyon için sistematik olarak incelenmiştir. Coulomb engeli yakınındaki ağır iyon füzyonu, deneysel çalışanların ve teorisyenlerin ilgisini çekmektedir. Çarpışmalar tipik olarak birçok açık reaksiyon kanalı varlığı ile karakterize edilir. Coulomb engelinin etrafındaki enerjilerde, süreç, bir veya iki çekirdeğin esnek saçılma, esnek olmayan uyarımlar ve füzyon operasyonlarıdır. Füzyon süreci, saçılma potansiyelini Coulomb ve yakınlık potansiyelinin toplamı olarak alan tek boyutlu engel penetrasyon modelinin etkisi olarak tanımlanır. Bu çalışmada, füzyon tesir kesitleri CC hesaplamaları ile CCFULL, CCDEF, CCFUS ve NRV kodları ve Wong formalizmi kullanılarak gelen parçacık ve hedef için 2^+ve3^(- )uyarılmalarını dikkate alarak detaylı olarak incelenmiştir. Hesaplanan tesir kesiti sonuçları, deneysel verilerle karşılaştırılmıştır. Çiftlenmiş kanal kodlarından CCFULL ve CCDEF' in CCFUS a göre daha güvenilir veriler ürettiği tespit edildi. Deneysel verisi varolan reaksiyonlarda kodların doğru sonuçlar verdiği, deneysel verileri bulunmayan reaksiyonlarda ise kodların birbiri arasındaki uyumu gözlendi. Tüm reaksiyonlar için engel dağılımları çiftlenim değerleri altında CCFULL ve NRV kodları ile ve Wong formalizmi ile hesaplandı. Bu hesaplamaların kendi aralarındaki uyum incelendi ve modellerin birbirleri ile uyum içerisinde olduğu tespit edildi. In this study, heavy ion fusion reactions were investigated systematically for 48 reaction by coupled channel method. Heay- ion fusion near the Coulomb barrier is of interest to experimenters and theorists. Collisions are typically characterized by the presence of many open reaction channels. In the energies around the Coulomb barrier, the process is the elastic scattering of one or two nuclei, inelastic excitations and fusion operations. The fusion process is defined as the effect of a one-dimensional barrier penetration model that takes scattering potential as the sum of Coulomb and proximity potential. In this study, fusion cross sections were examined in detail by using CC calculations, such as CCFULL, CCDEF, CCFUS and NRV codes and Wong formalism with 2^+and 3^(- ) excitation for incoming particle and target . The calculated fusion cross section results were compared with the experimental data. It was determined that CCFULL and CCDEF, produced more reliable data than CCFUS. The barrier distributions for all reactions were calculated by CCFULL and NRV codes under coupling values and by Wong formalism. The harmony between these calculations was examined and the models were found to be in harmony with each other. 115

OBJECTIVE: Hypertensive retinopathy develops based on endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. Epicardial fat secretes various cytokines associated with endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. We aimed to evaluate whether epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness is a marker for retinopathy in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. METHODS: A total of 73 newly diagnosed hypertension (HT) patients were included in the study. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was used to measure EAT thickness. To evaluate the presence of retinopathy in HT patients, hypertensive retinopathy staging was performed by ophthalmologists, according to Scheie classification. RESULTS: Retinopathy was detected in 27 (37.0%) of 73 patients. EAT thickness in HT patients with retinopathy was higher than the group without retinopathy (5.07 +/- 1.45 mm vs. 4.19 +/- 1.20 mm, p=0.007). Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in HT patients with retinopathy were higher than the group without retinopathy (162.4 +/- 41.2 mg/dl vs. 138.1 +/- 35.6 mg/dl, p=0.010). As a result of the regression analysis, LDL-C (OR=1.016, 95% CI 1.001-1.031, p=0.043) and EAT thickness (OR=1.674, 95% CI 1.069-2.626, p=0.043) were the independent predictors of retinopathy. CONCLUSION: Increased EAT thickness is associated with the presence of retinopathy in hypertensive patients.
