Yıldız, Fusun | Dursun, Adile Berna | Dişçi, Rian | Abadoğlu, Öznur | Atalay, Figen | Ateş, Güngör | Büyükoğlan, Hakan

Background: Although both asthma and smoking are major health problems worldwide, smokers are often excluded from asthma studies. Objectives: It was aimed to verify the prevalence of asthmatic smokers in Turkey and assess the effects of smoking based on clinical parameters, exacerbations and hospitalizations because of lack of national data about the prevalence of smoking among asthmatics. Methods: The study protocol was comprised of a retrospective questionnaire. The asthmatic patients were followed in the outpatient clinics of 18 tertiary hospitals selected from seven different geographical ...Daha fazlası

Comparison of ProTaper Next and HyFlex instruments on apical debris extrusion in curved canals

Koçak M.M. | Çiçek E. | Koçak S. | Sağlam B.C. | Furuncuoğlu F.

Aim: To evaluate the amount of apically extruded debris after root canal instrumentation with ProTaper Next and HyFlex instruments in curved root canals. Methodology: Forty extracted mandibular first molar teeth with curved mesial roots and of similar lengths were instrumented using ProTaper Next or HyFlex instruments. The extruded debris was collected into pre-weighed Eppendorf tubes. The tubes were stored in an incubator at 68 °C for 5 days. The tubes were weighed to obtain the final dry weight of the extruded debris. The weight of the extruded debris was determined by subtracting the initia ...Daha fazlası

Fabrication and Characterization of Dysprosium-Doped Bismuth Oxide Films for IT-SOFCs via Slurry Spin Coating Technique

Ersoy E. | Cakar S. | Yildiz E. | Yilmaz S. | Turkoglu O. | Sarioz O.

The production and stabilization of the fcc-phase Bi2O3 solid solution (?-DSB) in the binary system of (Bi2O3)1-x(Dy2O3)x have been investigated in the doping range of 0.10 ? x ? 0.25 by adding Dy2O3 into pure ?-Bi2O3. All ?-DSB samples were stabilized and exhibited single ?-phase at 800C. Thick film solid electrolytes were produced by the spin coating method. All of the coating and sintering parameters were optimized. Crystallographic, microstructural, and electrical characterizations were made for the produced films. The highest value of conductivity was ~1-10 Scm-1 for 11-15 mol% ?-DSB film ...Daha fazlası

Effect of sildenafil on platelet function and platelet cGMP of patients with erectile dysfunction

Akand M. | Gencer E. | Yaman O. | Erişgen G. | Tekin D. | Özdiler E.

To investigate the effect of sildenafil on platelet function and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels in patients with erectile dysfunction, we evaluated the association between erectile function and platelet responses after administration of 100 mg sildenafil. Erectile responses were monitored after 8 daily doses of the drug. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and collagen-induced platelet aggregation and simultaneous adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release and cGMP levels were determined before and after sildenafil therapy. Basal levels for platelet aggregation, ATP release and cGMP were compa ...Daha fazlası

Mating genotypes and susceptibility profiles of clinical isolates of Candida glabrata from Turkey

Kaplan E. | Aktaş D. | Önder Ş. | Metin B. | Döğen A. | Oz Y. | Ilkit M.

The sexual cycle of Candida glabrata is not known; however, genomic evidence is indicative of recombination among subpopulations and the genome harbours genes necessary for undergoing mating and meiosis, which may increase fitness. The relationship between specific mating type-like (MTL) loci and antifungal susceptibility is not well understood in C. glabrata. We investigated different combinations of clinical C. glabrata isolate mating types and their antifungal susceptibility profiles. Allele profiles of the mating genes of 103 clinical C. glabrata isolates were identified, and their antifun ...Daha fazlası

Attitudes to ageing and their relationship with quality of life in older adults in Turkey

Korkmaz Aslan G. | Kulakçı AltıntaŞ H. | Özen Çınar İ. | Veren F.

Aim: With the increase in life expectancy, it has become necessary to expand our knowledge of how older individuals perceive their own ageing and how ageing affects their quality of life. The aim of the study was to determine older adults’ attitudes towards ageing and the relationship between attitudes and quality of life among community-dwelling older adults in Turkey. Methods: This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted in Zonguldak, Turkey. The sample included 999 community-dwelling older adults, who were selected from five family health centres. The data were collected betwe ...Daha fazlası

A first insight into the genetic diversity and population structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Zonguldak, Turkey

Aktaş E. | Zozio T. | Cömert F.B. | Külah C. | Aydin O. | Rastogi N. | Sola C.

This study evaluated the molecular epidemiology and biodiversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in Zonguldak, Turkey, and investigated the presence and significance of the LAM7-TUR clone by spoligotyping and mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) analysis. In total, 128 isolates were tested by spoligotyping; 25 selected isolates representative of the LAM7-TUR clone and similar types were also tested by MIRU-VNTR analysis. In total, 47 distinct patterns were revealed by spoligotyping, represented by 13 clusters containing between two and 28 ...Daha fazlası

GPS detection of ionospheric Rayleigh wave and its source following the 2012 Haida Gwaii earthquake

Jin S. | Jin R. | Li D.

The processes and sources of seismo-ionospheric disturbances are still not clear. In this paper, coseismic ionospheric disturbances (CIDs) are investigated by dual-frequency GPS observations following the Mw = 7.8 earthquake as results of the oblique-thrust fault in the Haida Gwaii region, Canada, on 28 October 2012. Results show that the CIDs with an amplitude of up to 0.15 total electron content units (TECU) are found with spreading out at 2.20 km/s, which agree well with the Rayleigh wave propagation speed at 2.22 km/s detected by the bottom pressure records at about 10 min after the onset. ...Daha fazlası
