Seroprevalence of <i>coxiella Burnetii</I> in Human and Animal Populations in Tiirkiye: Meta-Analysis
Get PDFCIFTCI, IHSAN HAKKI/0000-0002-9812-134XThis study aims to reveal Coxiella burnetii by examining the studies reporting Q fever seroprevalence in humans and animals in the last 25 years in Turkiye. In this study, based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), various databases were searched between January 1997 and October. 2022. A literature review was carried out using data analyses performed using the IBM SPSS Version 25.0 statistical package program and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) program. Overall prevalence of C. burnetii in humans was 22.78% (95% CI: 16.43%-29.12%), overall prevalence in animals was 13.49% (95% CI: 10.04-16.93%) was detected. The mean prevalence of C. burnetii in sheep was 19.1%+/- 10.88, 10.46 +/- 6.39% in cattle, 15.21 +/- 10.01% in studies including cattle and sheep together, 11.17 +/- 10.74 in cattle, sheep and goats, and 12.4%+/- 1.15% in sheep and goats. As a result of this study, it was determined that the prevalence of Q fever in humans in Turkiye is high in those dealing with animals, women who had a miscarriage, and infertile individuals. Although it is known that this disease is seen in Turkiye, there are not enough case reports in the literature. Detailed studies on Q fever in humans and animals need to be conducted. Further studies are needed to evaluate Q fever risk factors and prevalence data together within the scope of One Health approach.Science Citation Index Expande

Get PDFBu çalışmanın amacı, 2021 – 2022 futbol sezonu Türkiye Süper Futbol Ligini ilk sırada tamamlayan Trabzonspor'un attığı gollerin teknik kriterlere göre analizini yaparak, şampiyon olan takımı belirleyen gollerin hangi hücum aksiyonlarıyla atıldığını ve gollerin vuruş şekli ile bölgesi, gol dakika aralığına ve golden önce topa temas sayılarına göre incelemesi yapmaktır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 2021 – 2022 futbol sezonu Türkiye Süper Futbol Ligi'ni ilk sırada bitiren Trabzonspor takımı oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma, Trabzonspor'un oynamış olduğu 38 Lig maçında atılan 69 golden oluşmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında İnstatScout web sitesinden oynanan lig maçlarının görüntüleri kullanılmıştır. Değerlendirmeye alınan maçlarda, atılan goller futbol analiz programında (Sportscode) ayıklanmıştır. Araştırma verileri, bütün maçların önce kayıt altına alınıp izlenmesi, izlenen maçlardaki teknik konuların not alınarak düzenli bir şekilde organize edilmesi ve daha sonra bilgisayar ortamında Jamovi istatistiksel analiz programında verilerin değerlendirilmesi süreci ile toplanmıştır. Gol dakikaları, gol oluş şekilleri, gol vuruş şekilleri, gol vuruş bölgesi ve gol öncesi pas sayısı arasında fark olup olmadığını belirlemek için Ki–Kare testi yapılmıştır. Araştırmada değerlendirmeye alınan goller; gol dakika aralığı, gol oluş şekli, gol vuruş şekli, gol vuruş bölgesi, gol öncesi yapılan pas sayısı olmak üzere toplam beş parametreye ayrılmış ve ayıklanmıştır. Ayıklanan goller Microsoft Office Excel programına aktarılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler incelendiğinde, gol dakika aralığına baktığımızda çalışmamız literatürdeki diğer çalışmalara göre farklı olduğu, literatürde en fazla atılan gol dakika aralığı 76 – 90 olmasına rağmen bizim çalışmamızda 46 – 60 dakika aralığı olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Gol oluş şekline göre en fazla gol organize ataklarla, gol vuruş şekline göre ayak vuruşuyla, gol vuruş bölgesine göre ceza sahası içinden ve gol öncesi yapılan pas sayılarına baktığımızda ise 3 ve daha fazla pasla gol atıldığı ortaya konulmuştur.The aim of this study is to analyze the goals scored by Trabzonspor, which completed the Turkish Super Football League in the first place in the 2021 – 2022 football season, according to technical criteria, with which offensive actions the goals were scored, which determine the champion team, and how the goals were shot and the region, the goal minute interval and the ball before the goal. It is to determine with analyzes by examining according to the number of contacts. The sample of the study consists of Trabzonspor team, which finished first in the Turkish Super Football League in the 2021 – 2022 football season. The study consists of 69 goals (2 goals to own goal) scored in 38 league matches played by Trabzonspor. Images of league matches played on the InstatScout website were used to collect the data. In the evaluated matches, the goals scored were extracted in the football analysis program (Sportscode). The research data were collected through the process of recording and watching all the matches first, organizing the technical issues in the watched matches regularly by taking notes, and then evaluating the data in the Jamovi statistical analysis program in the computer environment. Chi-square test was conducted to determine whether there is a difference between goal minutes, goal scoring patterns, goal stroke patterns, goal stroke area and number of passes before goal. The goals evaluated in the research; The goal is divided into five parameters in total: the minute interval, the way of scoring, the way of hitting the goal, the area of the goal hitting, the number of passes made before the goal. The extracted goals were transferred to the Microsoft Office Excel program. When the data obtained in the research are examined, when we look at the goal-minute interval, our study is different from other studies in the literature, and although the most scored goal-minute interval in the literature is 76 – 90, in our study it has emerged as a range of 46 – 60 minutes. When we look at the number of passes made from within the penalty area and before the goal, it has been determined that the goal is scored with 3 or more passes according to the way of scoring
Managing Viral Emerging Infectious Diseases Via Current and Future Molecular Diagnostics
Get PDFKahraman Kilbas, Elmas Pinar/0000-0003-1348-625XEmerging viral infectious diseases have been a constant threat to global public health in recent times. In managing these diseases, molecular diagnostics has played a critical role. Molecular diagnostics involves the use of various technologies to detect the genetic material of various pathogens, including viruses, in clinical samples. One of the most commonly used molecular diagnostics technologies for detecting viruses is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR amplifies specific regions of the viral genetic material in a sample, making it easier to detect and identify viruses. PCR is particularly useful for detecting viruses that are present in low concentrations in clinical samples, such as blood or saliva. Another technology that is becoming increasingly popular for viral diagnostics is next-generation sequencing (NGS). NGS can sequence the entire genome of a virus present in a clinical sample, providing a wealth of information about the virus, including its genetic makeup, virulence factors, and potential to cause an outbreak. NGS can also help identify mutations and discover new pathogens that could affect the efficacy of antiviral drugs and vaccines. In addition to PCR and NGS, there are other molecular diagnostics technologies that are being developed to manage emerging viral infectious diseases. One of these is CRISPR-Cas, a genome editing technology that can be used to detect and cut specific regions of viral genetic material. CRISPR-Cas can be used to develop highly specific and sensitive viral diagnostic tests, as well as to develop new antiviral therapies. In conclusion, molecular diagnostics tools are critical for managing emerging viral infectious diseases. PCR and NGS are currently the most commonly used technologies for viral diagnostics, but new technologies such as CRISPR-Cas are emerging. These technologies can help identify viral outbreaks early, track the spread of viruses, and develop effective antiviral therapies and vaccines.Science Citation Index Expande

Get PDFKahraman Kilbas, Elmas Pinar/0000-0003-1348-625X; Altindis, Mustafa/0000-0003-0411-9669The aim of this study is to analyze the available information on the use of probiotics containing different microorganisms, singly or in combination, in order to investigate the effect of probiotics on the treatment, prophylaxis and microbiota of various diseases. In addition to Pubmed, Google Scholar, SCOPUS, EMBASE, Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews, CINAHL, AMED, Turkish Medline electronic da- tabases, the gray literature was searched to cover the years 2004-2021. Randomized controlled studies (RCTs) included in the specified selection criteria were brought together. RCTs were evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Of the 32 RCTs included in total, only yeast (Saccharomyces spp.) was administered in fourteen, only Lactobacillus spp. in six, Bifidobacterium spp. only in four, and probiotic supplementation containing more than one bacterial strain in six. Only 10/32 of the included studies fully reported the probiotic strain, and 22/32 reported only at the species level. In all nine studies using probiotics for the treatment of diarrhea, probiotics were reported to shorten the duration of diarrhea and length of hospital stay. Four of the five studies reporting the use of probiotics in the treatment of necrotizing enterocolitis reported that probiotics were not effective in reducing the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis, but could improve nutritional tolerance. In two of the four RCTs investigating the use of probiotics in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infec- tion, it was stated that the side effects associated with eradication therapy decreased. In both studies conducted for prophylaxis, it was reported that probiotics prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea. This study shows that probiotics have positive results for the treatment indications and prophylaxis of various diseases. For the sustainability of these health benefits and the safe administration of probiotics, more research is needed that includes strain information and side effect reports.Emerging Sources Citation Inde
Petroselinum Crispum Extract Prevents Scopolamine-Induced Lens Damage in Rats
No full textERTIK, Onur/0000-0001-5437-3513; Sener, Goksel/0000-0001-7444-6193; Ede-Pazarbasi, Seren/0000-0002-3195-4064Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that occurs especially in advanced ages. It reduces the quality of life of both the patient and their relatives. In addition to its primary effects, AD causes metabolic defects and tissues are damaged due to these effects. Oxidative stress damages cells by disrupting antioxidant/oxidant balance in many tissues, especially due to AD. In individuals with AD and the elderly, lens tissue is damaged due to oxidative stress and may cause vision loss. Therefore, it is very important to investigate herbal products that both prevent/cure AD and reduce AD-related oxidative stress, as they may have fewer side effects. In this study, the protective effects of parsley (Petroselinum crispum) extract on lens tissues of an experimental AD model induced by scopolamine were examined and evaluated through biochemical parameters. The result of biochemical experiments and principal component analysis, was observed that parsley extract had a therapeutic effect by reducing oxidative stress in lens tissues of experimentally induced AD rats. It can be suggested that the phenolic and flavonoid-rich content of parsley extract may have caused the reduction of oxidative damage in lens tissues and can be used to protect lens tissue against oxidative stress due to AD disease.Science Citation Index Expande
An Overview of Paralympic Sport From a Historical and Psychosocial Perspective
Get PDFThe Paralympic Olympic Games initiated within the framework of the Paralympic movement is not well known by the society. Understanding the psychological characteristics of para-athletes and revealing their social position will contribute to coaches, managers and all sports professionals working with these athletes. Based on this idea, in this study, the concept of Paralympics is defined, the history of the Paralympic Olympic Games and statistical information in these games are included, and the psychosocial characteristics of athletes who operate in sports environments as para-athletes are discussed. A narrative based literature review was preferred as a methodology in the study. As a result of the research, it has been seen that para sports have progressed rapidly over the years since the first day of its emergence in the historical process. When the psychological characteristics of para athletes are examined, it is understood that para athletes do sports for reasons such as performing well and winning, looking normal, adapting to injury, defending themselves, fighting against marginalization and encouraging the disabled sports movement. It has been stated that para-athletes who are emotionally stable, have cognitive flexibility and mental endurance, are self-confident, can manage stress and control their emotions are more successful in sports. It has been stated that social support is important for para-athletes when they start sports, but an overprotective structure may negatively affect the psychosocial development of para-athletes. In addition, coaches' communication and leadership skills are important for para-athletes to be successful in sports and persistence in sports. © The Author(s) 2023
Evaluation of the Effect of Sociodemographic Characteristics of Patients With Prostate Cancer on Their Sexual Experiences and Self-Efficacy Sexual Experiences and Self-Efficacy of Individuals With Prostate Cancer
No full textEROGLU, NERMIN/0000-0003-4780-3049The study was planned as a descriptive study to evaluate the effects of sociodemographic characteristics of prostate cancer patients on their sexual experiences and self-efficacy. The sample of the study consisted of 69 patients with prostate cancer who were followed up for treatment in the outpatient clinic of an oncology hospital between December 2020 and March 2021 and met the inclusion criteria of the stud. Research data were collected by using the Patient Information Form, Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX)-Male, and Sexual Self-Efficacy Scale (SSES). The mean age of prostate cancer patients was 67.1 & PLUSMN; 11.74 years, 95.7% (n = 66) were married, 37.7% (n = 66) were university graduates, and 75.4% (n = 52) were unemployed. Patients' mean scores were 19.29 & PLUSMN; 7.66 on the total Sexual Self-Efficacy Scale and 22.08 & PLUSMN; 4.92 on the total Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale. In the study, it was determined that the sexual experiences and sexual self-efficacy of prostate cancer patients differed according to their education level, employment status, and duration of treatment. In the study, it was determined that patients with prostate cancer experienced sexual dysfunction and had low self-efficacy. In line with these results, our recommendations are for health professionals to evaluate the sexual functions of patients with prostate cancer and their sexual self-efficacy, which is an important determinant of sexual life, during the diagnosis, treatment, and care process. In addition, the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients should be considered when planning interventions that increase sexual self-efficacy in the management of sexual problems.Social Science Citation Inde

Get PDFCaloglu Buyukselcuk, Elif/0000-0002-5976-6727People try very hard to have a symmetrical, strong, and beautiful body. The human body needs high amino acids for muscle protein synthesis. Whey protein is a good choice that contains all amino acids, which increases muscle protein synthesis and improves body shape with resistance exercise. For this reason, those who do sports, especially professionals, prefer to use these products frequently. A large number of commercial whey protein powders are sold on the market, and to achieve maximum purpose, individuals want to use the best one. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets are used in order to minimize the negative effects of the uncertainty environment and ambiguous information encountered in the decision-making process on the solution. In this study, VIKOR, based on the circular intuitionistic fuzzy set, has been used to determine the best whey protein supplement. In line with the comprehensive literature review and expert opinions, the evaluation criteria affecting the selection process have been determined, and the solution of the problem has been focused.Science Citation Index Expande
Utopian Imagination in Modernist Poetry: Passage From Transcendence To Language
Get PDF'' Modernist literature '' is a capacious term that designates both an epoch and a variety of political attitudes espoused or rejected by the authors grouped under this title. On the one hand, the widely used concepts of high and late modernism refer to the period approximately between 1900 and the 1960s, divided by World War II. On the other, they concern the politics of literary modernism discussed on the basis of how writers and poets relate to their own social-historical conditions and to the utopian vision of a radically different kind of individual and collective existence that aims to transcend the given modes of subjectivity and sociality. In this article, I have traced specifically the changing politics of modernist literature with respect to that utopian desire for transcendence which some theorists call the modernist absolute. Differing from much of the scholarship on the politics of modernist literature that privileges the novel genre, in the present study, I have focused on the poetry of W. B. Yeats and Wallace Stevens. Through textual and theoretical analyses of '' In the Seven Woods '' and '' A Collar-bone of a Hare '' by Yeats and '' Of Mere Being '' by Stevens, I have demonstrated how the high modernist imagining of transcendence turns with late modernism into a theme or a motif that reveals the linguistic character of such visions and the ideological function of their utopianism. In my discussion, I have tried to show that Yeats, who is part of high modernist literature in terms of periodization, belongs to this category due to his political imagining that prioritizes transcendence. Furthermore, unlike Yeats, Stevens stands close, especially in his last poems, to the late modernist mindset that anticipates the politics of postmodern literature and the poststructuralist awareness of the role of language in constructing meaning and value.Emerging Sources Citation Inde
