The diagnostic efficiency of ultrasound in characterization for thyroid nodules: How many criteria are required to predict malignancy?
Objective: The purpose of this study was to define the criteria for use in differentiating benign and malignant nodules with the help of the receiver operating characteristic analysis and to increase the objective diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography
İleri ekmeklik buğday hatlarının bazı agronomik ve kalite özelliklerinin belirlenmesi üzerine araştırmalar
Araştırma Projesi -- Ege Üniversitesi, 2011Bornova ekolojik kosullarında 2009/2010 yetistirme döneminde tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre 3 tekerrürlü olarak yürütülen bu arastırma, Ege Üniversitesi, Ziraat Fakültesi, Tarla Bitkileri Bölümü tarafından gelistirilen ekmeklik bugday durulmus hatlarının önemli agronomik ve ekmeklik kalite özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıstır. Çalısmada bitki materyali olarak 17 ileri hat ve 3 standart çesit (Sagittario, Ziyabey-98 ve Basribey-95) kullanılmıstır. Çalısmada agronomik özellikler olarak tane verimi, basaklanma gün sayısı, bitki boyu, m2'de basak sayısı, basak uzunlugu, üst bogum uzunlugu, fertil kardes sayısı, basakta basakçık sayısı, basakta tane sayısı, basakta tane agırlıgı, bayrak yapak alanı, bayrak yapragı kın alanı ve hasat indeksi degerleri ölçümlenmistir. Kalite özelikleri olarak ise hektolitre agırlıgı, bin tane agırlıgı, nem oranı, kül miktarı, sedimantasyon degeri, protein miktarı, yas ve kuru gluten miktarı, gluten indeksi ve sertlik degerleri incelenmistir. Çalısma sonucunda agronomik ve kalite özellikleri ile tane verimi degerleri birlikte ele alındıgında standart çesitleri asan 7, 106, 108 ve 129 nolu hatların verimlerinin yüksek ve kalite düzeylerinin de yeterli olabilecegi anlasılmaktadır. Bu ileri hatlar tescil ettirilerek bölge bugday üreticilerinin kullanımlarına sunulabilecektir. Ayrıca agronomik ve kalite özellikleri bakımından üst sıralarda yer alan ileri hatların üstün oldukları özellikler bakımından bugday ıslah programında ebeveyn olarak degerlendirilebilecekleri de sonucuna varılmıstır.;Triticum aestivum L., bread wheat, genotype, yield, agronomical and quality traits.;Triticum aestivum L., ekmeklik bugday, genotip, verim, agronomik ve kalite özellikleri
Prenatal exposure to a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or saline solution impairs sciatic nerve morphology: a stereological and histological study
Kaplan, Suleyman/0000-0003-1477-5002; AYYILDIZ, Mustafa/0000-0002-6594-3080; ulkay, muzaffer basak/0000-0002-0928-0462; Geuna, Stefano/0000-0002-6962-831X; Canan, Sinan/0000-0002-9864-1767WOS: 000260953300011PubMed: 18678241The toxic effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during development has been widely investigated. While it has been shown that these drugs impair central nervous development and compromise the neural activity, the effects of these substances on the development of peripheral nerves are still not clarified. In the present Study, sciatic nerves withdrawn from three experimental groups of 4-week-old rats, prenatally exposed to either saline solution, or cliclofenac sodium, and controls not exposed to any substance, were evaluated in terms of axon number, cross-sectional area of axon and myelin sheet thickness as well as of the ultrastructure of nerve fibers. Comparisons of stereological estimations among these three groups showed that axon number and mean axon cross-sectional area, but not average myelin sheet thickness, were significantly decreased in rats that were exposed to both diclofenac sodium and also to the saline solution, in comparison of the control group. Electron microscope analysis revealed, in both treated groups, deterioration of myelin sheaths that was more pronounced in rats that were exposed to cliclofenac sodium. Altogether, these findings show that the prenatal administration of both diclofenac sodium and saline solution impairs peripheral nervous system development, thus suggesting that this potential teratogenic effect should be also taken into consideration in the clinical use of these substances in pregnant patients.

Adoption of pleurectomy and decortication for malignant mesothelioma leads to similar survival as extrapleural pneumonectomy
Objective: We changed our surgical approach to malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) in August 2011 and adopted pleurectomy and decortication (PD) instead of extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP). In this study, we analyzed our perioperative and survival results during the 2 periods. Methods: All patients who underwent surgical intervention for MPM during 2003-2014 were included. Data were retrospectively analyzed from a prospective database. Before August 2011, patients underwent evaluation for EPP and adjuvant chemoradiation (group 1). After August 2011, patients were evaluated for PD and adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation (group 2). Demographic characteristics, surgical technique, histology, side, completeness of resection, and types of treatments were recorded. Statistics was performed using Student t test, chi(2) tests, uni- and multivariate regression, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results: The same surgical team operated on 130 patients. Median age was 55.7 years (range, 26-80 years) and 76 were men. EPP and extended PD was performed in 72 patients. Ninety-day mortality was 10%. Median survival was 17.8 months with a 5-year survival rate of 14%. Uni- and multivariate analyses showed that epithelioid histology, stage N0, and trimodality treatment were associated with better survival (P=.039, P=.012, and P<.001, respectively). Demographic variables and overall survival (15.6 vs 19.6 months, respectively) were similar between the groups, whereas nonepithelioid histology, use of preoperative chemotherapy, and incomplete resections were more frequent in group 2 (P<.001, P<.001, and P=.006, respectively). Follow-up was shorter in group 2 (22.5 +/- 20.6 vs 16.4 +/- 10.9 months; P<.001). Conclusions: Adoption of PD as the main surgical approach is not associated with survival disadvantage in the surgical treatment of MPM
