İLİK, Faik | BÜYÜKGÖL, Hüseyin | EREN, Fatma | İLİK, Mustafa Kemal | KAYHAN, Fatih | KÖSE, Hatice

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of smartphone use on the median nerve. Materials and Methods: Participants were classified into three groups according to their smartphone use frequencies, high smartphone users (with Smartphone addiction scale (SAS) score of higher than 71), low smartphone users (SAS score less than 71) and classical type mobile phones users. The Visual analogue scale (VAS), quick-disabilities of arm, shoulder, hand (qDASH) and median nerve conductions of the participants were assessed. Groups were compared to each other as well as dominant and non-dom ...Daha fazlası

Temperature measurements in a capacitive system of deep loco-regional hyperthermia.

ŞAHİNBAŞ, Hüseyin | ROSCH, Martin | DEMİRAY, Mutlu

Hyperthermia has been shown to be a medically useful procedure applicable for different indications. For the connection between clinical effects and heat, it is important to understand the actual temperatures achieved in the tissue. There are limited temperature data available when using capacitive hyperthermia devices even though this is worldwide the most widespread method for loco-regional heating. Hence, this study examines temperature measurements using capacitive heating. Bioequivalent phantoms were used for the measurements, which, however, do not consider perfusion in live tissue.

The validity of eight neoclassical facial canons in the Turkish adults

KARACA SAYGILI, Ömür | ÇINAR, Selçuk | GÜLCEN, Burak | ÖZCAN, Emrah | KUŞ, İlter

The neoclassical canons were used to define the proportions between various areas of the head and face. Therefore, this study was done to establish the neoclassical canons of facial proportions in Turkish adults. A total of 200 healthy adults 20 to 35 years of age were examined. Using anthropometric landmarks, 5 horizontal and 9 vertical direct measurements were made on the faces with a sliding calliper. Results have been compared with 8 neoclassical facial canons. When comparing between sexes, a significant difference has been found in all measurements except the upper facial width, left eye- ...Daha fazlası

A Realistic View on

BAHADORI, Fatemeh | DEMİRAY, Mutlu

The review paper entitled “The Essential Medicinal Chemistry of Curcumin”, published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, by Nelson et al. (1) is a well-designed paper, presenting a new (and negative) approach to the well-known biologically active compound; curcumin. Although some arguments throughout this paper are completely true, the approach of the authors is unfortunately far from impartial, and many of the conclusions the authors draw from some of their referred papers are especially hard to accept.

Effects of curcumin on methyl methanesulfonate damage to mouse kidney

Methylmethane sulfonate (MMS) is an alkylating agent that may react with DNA and damage it. We investigated histological changes and apoptosis caused by MMS and the effects of curcumin on MMS treated mouse kidneys. Twenty-four mice were divided into four equal groups: controls injected with saline, a group injected with 40 mg/kg MMS, a group injected with 40 mg/kg MMS and given 100 mg/kg curcumin by gavage, and a group given 100 mg/kg curcumin by gavage. MMS caused congestion and vacuole formation, and elevated the apoptotic index significantly, but had no other effect on kidney tissue. Curcum ...Daha fazlası

Randomized prospective comparison of long-term results of onlay and sublay mesh repair techniques for incisional hernia

SEVİNÇ, Barış | OKUŞ, Ahmet | AY, Serden | AKSOY, Nergis | KARAHAN, Ömer

Objective: Incisional hernia is a significant problem after laparotomy, and there is still no consensus on an ideal treatment method. The aim of this study was to compare the results of onlay and sublay mesh repair techniques. Material and Methods: In this randomized prospective trial, 100 patients were divided into two groups: Onlay and sublay groups. Recurrences were evaluated by performing a physical examination. Results: The median follow-up was 37.1 (26.6 to 46.5) months. In the onlay group, the mean operation time was significantly shorter. However, in terms of postoperative pain and wou ...Daha fazlası
