    Objectives Nasal bone fracture is a frequent entity consulted to the otolaryngologists, approximately accounting for 39% of all facial bone fractures. The most frequent mechanisms of injury consist of assault, sport-related injuries, falls, and motor vehicle accidents. In this study, we examined the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric nasal fractures. Methods Children with nasal fracture who applied to Malatya Training and Research Hospital during the year before the first case and the following year were included in this study. Data of 172 patients for the pre-pandemic period and 79 patients for pandemic were available and included in the study. Demographic information, clinical features, nasal fracture etiology, nasal fracture type, type and time of intervention, and other accompanying pathologies were recorded. Results While falls was the leading cause of fracture etiology before the pandemic (64 patients [37.21%]), assault seems to be the leading cause during the pandemic period (27 children [34.18%]). In the pre-pandemic period, the intervention for patients with nasal fractures was performed on an average of 5 days, while this period was calculated as an average of 6 days during the pandemic period. When the 2 groups are compared in terms of nasal fracture intervention time, it was seen that the intervention time was statistically significantly later in the pandemic period (P < .001). According to the results of the analysis, the most cases in the pandemic period were seen in the fourth month, which indicated a-month period between 11 June and 11 July. Conclusions In conclusion, our number of nasal fracture cases was decreased during the pandemic period compared to the 1-year period before the pandemic. We observed the most common type IIA nasal fracture. We gave outpatient treatment to most of the patients. Our most common cause of fracture was assault. We intervened in our cases in an average of 6 days and preferred closed reduction most frequently. We could not find any study on the same subject in the literature, and we aimed to contribute to the literature with this study

    The binding ability of the drug on its interaction with the protein will also significantly affect the apparent volume of distribution of the drugs and, in many cases the rate of elimination of the drugs. The interactions of proteins and other molecules are a fascinating topic applied to surface technologies and sensors. Therefore, it is aimed to determine the NBTCand to elucidate its interaction with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) by electrochemical and in silico studies in this paper. The reduction in BSA oxidation signals measured by differential pulse voltammetry upon incubation with different NBTC concentrations indicated that NBTC was bound to BSA. In addition, in silico (molecular modeling and molecular dynamics) studies have been conducted on the interactions of NBTC with proteins in plasma. As a result of the in silico studies investigated the interactions of NBTC with serum albumin, its binding affinity, and the dynamic process in the binding state. In silico studies showed that NBTC binds to BSA with high affinity (with-7.986 kcal/mol docking score), and this binding was stable (with a 3.0 average RMSD value). Eventually, the results of the electrochemical and modeling studies were perfectly matched

    Bu çalışmada; vakum destekli reçine transfer kalıplama metodu ile üretilen sekiz katmanlı tabakalı cam/epoksi (GFRP), karbon/epoksi (CFRP) ve cam-karbon epoksi hibrit (GCFRP) kompozitlerin yapay deniz suyu, motor yağı ve dizel yakıt ortamında 30,60 ve 90 gün boyunca yaşlandırılma etkisinin kompozit yapılardaki mekanik ve tribolojik davranışlarına etkisi incelenmiştir. Kompozitlerin mekanik dayanımlarını incelemek için çekme, üç nokta eğilme, düşük hızlı darbe testi ve basma testleri yapılmıştır. Tribolojik davranışları incelemek için ise kuru kayma aşınma testleri yapılmıştır. Farklı sıvı ortamlarında yaşlandırılan kompozitlerin kütlece absorpsiyon yüzdelerine bakıldığında en yüksek kütlesel absorpsiyonuna sahip olan kompozitlerin CFRP kompozitler olduğu, en düşük kütlesel yüzde absorpsiyonuna sahip kompozitlerin GFRP kompozitler olduğu hesaplanmıştır. Tüm ortam koşullarında Çekme dayanımı, eğilme dayanımı ve basma dayanımının en yüksek olduğu kompozit tipi karbon/epoksi kompozitler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Düşük hızlı darbe dayanımının en yüksek olduğu kompozit tipi ise cam/epoksi kompozitler olmuştur. Kompozitlerin tribolojik davranışları incelendiğinde cam elyafın spesifik aşınma oranının karbon elyaftan fazla olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Cam-karbon hibrit şekilde üretilmiş kompozitlerin çekme mukavemeti, basma mukavemeti ve düşük hızlı darbe mukavemetini artırırken, eğilme mukavemetini azalttığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Ortam yaşlandırma etkilerine bakıldığında, yaşlandırma süresi arttıkça kompozitlerin mekanik ve tribolojik mukavemetlerinin azaldığı etkilerini azaldığı görülmüştür. Tüm yaşlandırma ortamları koşullarına bakıldığında mekanik dayanıklılığı en çok etkileyen ve değiştiren ortamın deniz suyu yaşlandırma ortamı olduğu tespit edilmiştir.In this study; eight-layer laminated glass/epoxy (GFRP), carbon/epoxy (CFRP) and glass-carbon epoxy hybrid (GCFRP) composites produced by vacuum assisted resin transfer molding method for 30, 60 and 90 days in artificial seawater, engine oil and diesel fuel environment. The effect of the aging effect on the mechanical and tribological behavior of composite structures was investigated. Tensile, three-point bending, low-speed impact test and compression tests were performed to examine the mechanical strength of the composites. Dry slip wear tests were carried out to examine the tribological behaviors. Considering the mass absorption percentages of the composites aged in different liquid environments, it was calculated that the composites with the highest mass absorption were CFRP composites, and the composites with the lowest mass percent absorption were GFRP composites. It has been determined that composite type carbon/epoxy composites have the highest tensile strength, bending strength and compressive strength in all ambient conditions. The composite type with the highest low-velocity impact strength was glass/epoxy composites. When the tribological behaviors of the composites were examined, it was concluded that the specific wear rate of glass fiber was higher than carbon fiber. It was concluded that while glass-carbon hybrid composites increase tensile strength, compressive strength and low velocity impact strength, they decrease flexural strength. Considering the effects of ambient aging, it was observed that the mechanical and tribological strengths of the composites decreased as the aging time increased. When the conditions of all aging environments are examined, it has been determined that the environment that affects and changes the mechanical strength the most is the seawater aging environment

    The bearing resistance of asphalt pavements decreases due to the high temperature and long loading times and many distortions occur with tracks. Mineral additives are used to prevent the formation of wheel marks and other deformations in bituminous hot mixtures. Some of the additives are used to improve the blend properties by modifying the bitumen and some are directly involved in the admixture to enhance the engineering characteristics of the pavement layer. In this study, vermiculite, perlite, lime and calcite minerals were added directly to the mixture at the ratio of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 2.5% of aggregate weight. Bitumen content, porosity, stability and flow values of the samples were determined by Marshall method. The values obtained from doped samples were compared with the reference sample. As a result of experimental study, it was revealed that vermiculite, perlite, lime and calcite mineral additives increased the durability of the asphalt mixtures and these additives may obstruct the wheel tracks on the surface

    Background: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been used in acute pulmonary thromboembolism as an alternative to warfarin due to drug interactions, narrow therapeutic range, and necessary close International Normalized Ratio (INR) monitoring. Phase 3 study results have reported that these drugs are at least as effective as warfarin and beneficial in terms of bleeding; however, studies that present up-to-date life data are necessary. Aims: To evaluate the frequency of using DOACs, which are prescribed with a limited number of indications in our country, and real-life data results. Study Design: Cross-sectional study Methods: This cross-sectional survey collected the clinical data (history, current treatment, treatment duration, etc.) of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism and who applied to the physician for follow-up between October 15, 2019, and March 15, 2020. The researchers kept the patient records sequentially. Results: Data from 836 patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism from 25 centers were collected, and DOAC was used in 320 (38.5%) of them. The most preferred DOAC was rivaroxaban (n = 294, 91.9%). DOAC was mostly preferred because it could not provide an effective INR level with warfarin (n=133, 41.6%). Bleeding was observed in 13 (4%) patients. Conclusion: The use of direct oral anticoagulants is becoming almost as widespread as conventional therapy. Real-life data results are important for their contribution to clinical practice

    Evaluation of the relationship of the time of vesicoureteral reflux between renal scar development and endoscopic treatment success in early childhood

    No full text
    Aim: It is aimed to evaluate the effect of reflux time in primary VUR in terms of predicting endoscopic treatment success and treatment timing in VUR management. Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is an important cause of urinary tract infection and chronic renal disease. Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is the gold standard diagnostic test in the diagnosis of VUR. In recent years, new parameters related to VCUG have been more objectively studied to evaluate the clinical prognosis. Materials and Methods: In our study, the records and imaging findings of children with primary VUR who underwent VCUG examination between 2012 and 2019, who were treated with endoscopic injections, were retrospectively reviewed. Forty-one children (67 renal units) were included in our study. Patients with preoperative VCUG, urinary ultrasonography, dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scan, and post-operative control VCUG were included in this study. Results: Patients with preoperative VUR grade 1-2 were divided into two groups as “low grade” and patients with stage 3-4-5 as “high grade”. In the general patient pop- ulation, endoscopic success rates in terms of renal unit deficit were found to be 46.3% (31/67). When the subgroup was analyzed, the endoscopic treatment success rate was 72.2% (13/18) in the low-grade group, versus 36.7% (18/49) in the high-grade group (p = 0.010). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis performed to identify indepen- dent predictors of scarring, reflux degree and reflux time were found to be independent predictors of scarring. Conclusion: In our study, we found that in VCUG evaluated preoperatively, VUR time as well as VUR grade were effective on endoscopic success rate and scar development. Based on these results, it could be thought that VUR time may be effective in selecting the best candidates for surgery and in the management and timing of treatment of VUR patients
