Hypersensitivity Pneumonia is a lung disease with two forms – fibrotic and non-fibrotic – which predominantly progress with lymphocytic infiltration and granulomatous inflammation as a result of both humoral and cellular response following the exposure of susceptible individuals to any antigen. In cases with the appropriate clinical features, high-resolution lung tomography can aid the diagnosis. Coarse reticulations with irregular linear opacities/lung distortions, traction bronchiectasis and honeycombing, centrilobular nodules, ground glass densities, mosaic perfusions and air imprisonment areas can be counted among the most significant radiological features. Treatment withdrawal is the basis for corticosteroids or immunosuppressive therapies, while antifibrotic agents hold promise as new treatment options in the future. In the present study, the diagnosis, imaging and treatment characteristics of three cases with Hypersensitivity Pneumonia diagnosed using different histopathological methods are reviewed in the light of current literature.

Introduction: This study investigated the clinical and radiological characteristics and demographics of patients who developed pulmonary embolism (PE) after Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. Methods: The cases of PE were analyzed retrospectively. Data on clinical, demographic, and radiologic characteristics, laboratory findings, Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) scores, early mortality scores, PE severity classes, and risk categories for early mortality (low-risk, intermediate-high-risk, intermediate-low-risk and high-risk) were collected from patient files as defined in the European Society of Cardiology guidelines. Patients were divided into two groups: those who had received a COVID-19 vaccine (group 1) and those who had not (group 2). Patients who developed PE within 1 month after vaccination were analyzed separately. Results: A total of 97 patients were included in the study, of whom 61 (62.9%) patients were female. Seventy-five (77.3%) study patients with PE had a history of COVID-19 vaccination (group 1), and 22 (22.7%) had never been vaccinated (group 2). Five (6.6%) patients had received a vaccine within 1 month before PE developed. No significant differences were found between groups 1 and 2 regarding demographics, clinical and radiologic characteristics, laboratory findings, PESI scores, early mortality scores, and PE severity classes (p>0.05), except for mean pulmonary artery pressures. The mean age of patients who developed PE within 1 month after vaccination was 74.6 years, and 80% of these patients were female. The average time to PE after vaccination was 22.2 days, and the mean PESI score was 86.6. Two patients (40%) were in the low-risk category for early mortality and one patient (20%) was in the intermediate/high-risk category. Conclusion: Overall, the characteristics of patients who developed PE after COVID-19 vaccination were comparable to those of patients who had not received a vaccine injection. No statistically significant increases in the incidence of PE were observed within the first month after being vaccinated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this embedded-single case study was to examine pre-service elementary teachers’ noticing expertise of students’ algebraic thinking in written works considering three skills: attention to students’ solutions, interpretation of students’ solutions, and deciding how to respond to students’ solutions. The participants in this study involved 32 pre-service teachers who were enrolled at an Elementary Teacher Education Program in a public university in Turkey. The data were utilized by pre-service elementary teachers’ responses to four students’ solutions to a figural pattern task and were analyzed using the framework developed by Jacobs et al. (2010). The analysis indicated although the pre-service teachers could not provide robust evidence of attention and interpretation, they could be able to provide robust evidence of deciding how to respond. Specifically, the percentage of pre-service teachers demonstrating robust evidence was greatest in the skill of deciding how to respond, then interpreting, with attending having the lowest percentage of pre-service teachers demonstrating robust evidence.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that develops as a result of ciliary dysfunction, and that presents with clinical findings that may vary depending on the affected system. Situs anomalies are common with PCD. Although approximately half of all cases are associated with situs inversus totalis, they may rarely be associated with situs ambiguous, which is a rare situs anomaly. We share this case of PCD with situs ambiguous due to its rarity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order for an individual to be a member of the society he lives in, he must learn the core values of that society and apply them in daily life. The core values of societies are important life experiences that add meaning to human life, and they are shaped by the geography in which the individual lives. Depending on this, the life and production style of societies constitute the culture of that society. Labor union to overcome difficult conditions with limited means is one of these cultural products. In other words, "İmece", also known as "Social Solidarity", is the name of the cultural heritage of centuriesold mutual assistance and cooperation, especially in rural areas. In this study, it is emphasized that the imece culture is in danger of disappearing due to migration to big cities and many other reasons. For this reason, it was aimed to raise awareness about the importance and necessity of collaborative culture in the research. In addition, the opinions of the participants were taken about which institutions should support in order to keep the imece culture alive. The aim of the research is to reach a certain judgment by taking the opinions of the participants about the necessity of the "Imece Concept", which is a cultural heritage, for the development of the region and its current application. In this study, a quantitative research method was used to determine the imce culture understanding. As a sample, Yeşilce Neighborhood of Mesudiye district of Ordu province was selected.
