Women in cuffs by Canan Tan’s writing
No full textTürk Edebiyatı’nda hapishane temini daha ziyade siyasi sebeplerden dolayı kısa ya da uzun süreli hapis cezasına çarptırılmış yazarların işledikleri görülmektedir. Orhan Kemal, Kemal Tahir, Kerim Korcan, Çetin Altan, Nihal Atsız, Erdal Öz, Rıfat Ilgaz, Abdülkadir Billurcu, Remzi Çayır, Sevgi Soysal, Feride Çiçekoğlu hayatlarının bir döneminde yaşamak zorunda kaldıkları bu mekândaki gözlem ve tecrübelerini edebî esere taşımış yazarlarımızdan bazılarıdır. Hapishane temini roman türünde işleyen yazarlarımızdan Füruzan ve Canan Tan ise yargı süreci sırasında veya yargı kararıyla bu mekânı tanımış yazarlardan değildirler. Füruzan 47’liler adlı romanında yaşamadığı bu mekânda yaşayan kadınları anlatır. Ancak diğer yazarlar gibi cezaevini irdelemek yerine 12 Mart döneminde kadının cezaevi ile bağlantısı üzerinde durur. Günümüzün çok okunan yazarlarından araştırmamıza konu olan Kelepçe romanının yazarı Canan Tan ise mahkûm sıfatıyla değil sadece gözlemlemek ve eserine malzeme toplamak amacıyla cezaevinde bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmada Canan Tan’ın 2016 yılının nisan ayında yayımladığı ve kadın mahkûmların cezaevi hayatlarından bir kesit sunarken onların toplum nezdinde suçlu damgası yemelerine sebep olan süreçten de söz eden Kelepçe adlı romanı değerlendirilecek, suçu oluşturan psikolojik ve sosyolojik sebeplerin esere nasıl yansıdığı üzerinde durulacaktır.It can be seen that prison theme is mostly used by the authors who are sentenced to short or long term punishments for political reasons in Turkish literature. Orhan Kemal, Kemal Tahir, Kerim Korcan, Çetin Altan, Nihal Atsız, Erdal Öz, Rıfat Ilgaz, Abdülkadir Billurcu, Remzi Çayır, Sevgi Soysal, Feride Çiçekoğlu are some examples of the Turkish authors who carried their experiences in this harsh environment to their literary works. Füruzan and Canan Tan differ from other writers who used prison theme in their novels by not knowing this place by a consequence of legal punishment. In her novel 47’liler, Füruzan tells the story of the women who lives in this place which she herself did not live. Yet, she scrutinizes the relationship between woman and prison in 12 Mart era instead of focusing to prison. One of the bestselling writers of our time and the author of novel Kelepçe which is subject of our study, Canan Tan, set foot in prison not as a prisoner but as an observer with the purpose of gathering material for her novel. In this paper, the novel Kelepçe, which is written by Canan Tan and published in April 2016, will be reviewed and its portrayal of psychological – sociological background of crime will be examined. Kelepçe presents a view to the life of the women inmates, and also narrates the process which ends up with stigmatizing of them in public opinion
Diaphragmatic Thickness Fraction in Subjects at High-Risk for COPD Exacerbations
No full textBACKGROUND: Ultrasound-based diaphragmatic thickness fraction is a reflection of the size and function of the diaphragm. This study aimed to examine the value of this measurement in identifying patients with COPD who are at high risk for the development of symptoms and exacerbations. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 53 subjects with COPD. Respiratory function test results, ultrasonography-based diaphragmatic thickness, symptom scores (modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale); COPD Assessment Test results, and number of previous exacerbations and admissions were recorded. RESULTS: Only age showed an inverse and weak relation with percent thickness fraction (r = -0.37, P =.006). None of the other variables tested correlated significantly with percent thickness fraction. No association was found between percent thickness fraction and exacerbation frequency, modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale and COPD Assessment Test symptom scores, or Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease ABCD risk/symptom assessments. CONCLUSIONS: Diaphragmatic thickness fraction measurements based on diaphragmatic ultrasound assessment in subjects with COPD seemed to be unable to identify subjects at high risk of symptoms and exacerbations as defined by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease ABCD composite disease index
Ureteral endometriosis: A rare cause of silent obstructive uropathy
No full textEndometriosis is defined as the presence of active endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity affecting 15% of women at reproductive age. Ureteral endometriosis (UE) is a rare type of endometrial involvement affecting 0.1% - 1% of women with endometriosis. UE is quite uncommon and underdiagnosed because of the patients' nonspecific symptoms of endometriosis. However, it is important to diagnose and manage UE treatment since it can lead to renal failure due to silent obstruction of the ureter. This case report describes a woman who presented with cyclic pelvic pain and left flank pain. Imaging studies and laparoscopic findings revealed bilateral endometrioma and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) findings resulting in extrinsic infiltration of the ureter and hydronephrosis
Ball games: general theory and Bball-to-Ball games
No full textIn this second volume, in particular, Canan lists and describes ball games, such as basketball and basket ball, among others. The collection aims to learn about, catalog, and describe ball sports games. Using solid theoretical foundations, the author seeks to build a general theory of ball sports games that can cover both the understanding and the analysis and description of the games in question.O segundo volume, em especial, Canan elenca e descreve os jogos de bola ao cesto, como o basquete e o cestoball, entre outros. A Coleção objetiva conhecer, catalogar e descrever jogos esportivos de bola. Utilizando-se de bases teóricas sólidas, o autor busca construir uma teoria geral dos jogos esportivos de bola que possa abranger tanto a compreensão quanto a análise e descrição dos jogos em questão
Correlation of clot distribution with morphometric measurements and pleuroparenchymal findings in acute pulmonary embolism: experience with 692 cases
No full textPurpose: The aim of the study is to determine if clot distribution in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) correlates with morphometric measurements of right heart function, reflux in inferior vena cava (IVC), and pleuroparenchymal findings. Materials and methods: A total of 692 computed tomography pulmonary angiographies with PE were enrolled, and patients were grouped according to clot localization. Parenchymal findings, morphometric measurements of right heart function, and contrast reflux in IVC were noted. Results: Differences were found between groups for most measurements, and central PE was associated with significantly higher right ventricle (RV) and pulmonary artery diameters, ratio of RV diameter to left ventricle (LV) diameter (RV/LV) >= 1, and IVC reflux. Conclusions: Significant association was present among clot distribution in PE, morphometrics, IVC reflux, and pleuroparenchymal findings. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved

Shear Wave Elastography in Placental Dysfunction Comparison of Elasticity Values in Normal and Preeclamptic Pregnancies in the Second Trimester
No full textObjectives The aim of this study was to determine whether shear wave elastography of the placenta differs between normal pregnancies and pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia between 20 and 23 weeks' gestation. Methods A prospective study was performed with 204 consecutive singleton pregnancies that had routine anomaly scanning between 20 and 23 weeks' gestation. One hundred twenty-nine of these patients were examined with shear wave elastography; 101 women who had clinically normal pregnancies with normal fetal biomenic measurements and normal deliveries without any perinatal complications formed group A, and 28 women who had a clinical diagnosis of early-onset preeclampsia before anomaly scanning formed group B. Women with either posterior placentations (n = 63) or other obstetric disorders (n = 12) were excluded from the study. Results Shear wave elastographic values for group B were significantly higher than those for group A (P <.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the elasticity values measured at the center or edge of the placenta (P>.05). Conclusions Shear wave elastography differentiates between the placental elasticity of normal pregnancies and pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia when performed during the second trimester. As a new method for tissue characterization, shear wave elastography is useful for evaluation of placental function and can be used as a supplement to existing methods for prediction of preeclampsia
Prevalence of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging-identified pelvic organ prolapse in pre- and postmenopausal women without clinically evident pelvic organ descent
No full textBackground Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is an imaging tool that can be used to evaluate and stage pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Greater understanding of the incidental detection of POP in asymptomatic patients is needed. Purpose To evaluate the prevalence of dMRI-detected POP in pre-and postmenopausal women who were imaged for reasons unrelated to pelvic floor dysfunction. Material and Methods A total of 227 women who had diagnoses that did not include POP underwent abdominal/pelvic dMRI. Patients with a positive gynecological examination for or a clinical history of POP (n=11), hysterectomy (n=4), or gynecologic-oncology surgery (n=2) were excluded, as well as patients who were unable to strain during MRI (n=11). A total of 199 patients without visible prolapse were enrolled in the study. An H-line, M-line, pubococcygeal line (PCL), and mid-pubic line (MPL) were used to detect and grade prolapse. Results The prevalence of dMRI-identified POP was higher in postmenopausal subjects. The PCL led to a greater frequency of prolapse detection than the MPL. The frequency of middle compartment descent was similar regardless of whether the PCL or MPL was used as a reference line. There was a higher incidence of prolapse in the posterior compartment. Using an H-line and PCL as references, the anterior and posterior compartments were found to significantly differ between pre- and postmenopausal subjects. The MRI parameters that were used to define POP were not correlated with parity, vaginal birth, BMI, or fetal birth weight. With respect to the MPL, age was correlated with both the presence of an elongated H-line and with descent. Conclusion Dynamic MRI identified incidental pelvic organ prolapse in asymptomatic patients. The prevalence of dMRI-detected POP was higher in postmenopausal women without visible prolapse. These findings suggest the need for further studies to identify how to modify the currently used dMRI thresholds for postmenopausal women
