Design of a linear quadratic gaussian controller for a manufacturing process
No full textYurtseven, Murat Kudret (Dogus Author), Ağaran, Berrin (Dogus Author)In this study, the design procedure and the performance analysis of a linear quadratic gaussian controller (LQGC) are presented. The controller is expected to regulate the production–inventory process of a manufacturing system along a pre-determined trajectory within the plant hierarchical control system; the hierarchical control structure is also described briefly in this chapter. The LQGC is based on a dynamic, discrete-time, and a stochastic model, aggregating products, and production processes. The simulation results show that the LQGC is well -suited for the intended purpose
Epidural patch with autologous platelet rich plasma: a novel approach
No full textWe aimed to perform an epidural patch using platelet rich plasma (PRP), which has the potential to regenerate and heal tissues via degranulation of platelets, in a 34-year-old parturient suffering from persistent post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) after failed epidural blood patch (EBP). After her admission to our unit, we reconfirmed the clinical and radiologic diagnosis of PDPH. Cranial MRI with contrast showed diffuse pachymeningeal thickening and contrast enhancement with enlarged pituitary consistent with intracranial hypotension. Clinical and radiological improvements were observed 1 week after the epidural patch using autologous PRP. Therefore, we recommend using autologous PRP for epidural patching in patients with incomplete recovery after standard EBP as a novel successful approach
Management of Postpartum Haemorrhage
No full textPostpartum haemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. However, postpartum haemorrhage-related deaths are potentially preventable with timely diagnosis and management. The present review addresses the management of postpartum haemorrhage algorithmthat includes the use of uterotonics, non-surgical (balloon tamponade) or surgical (sutures, artery ligations, and/or hysterectomy) techniques,and/or endovascular radiologic interventions, antifibrinolytic (tranexamic acid), and procoagulant (fibrinogen concentrate) drugs based on theinternational and national guidelines updated with recent evidences.</p
A comparison of the effects of intrathecal ropivacaine and bupivacaine during cesarean section
No full textAim: To compare the effects of intrathecal plain bupivacaine or ropivacaine with those of opioids on sensory and motor block characteristics during cesarean section (C/S)
Obstetric anesthesia for co-morbid conditions
No full textThis book presents general measures and offers a comprehensive overview of anesthetic considerations for specific serious medical problems in pregnant patients, with a focus on the anesthetic management of non-obstetric disorders during pregnancy and pregnancy-induced diseases. Although many books on this topic are available, this unique volume addresses specific disorders that may be encountered in daily obstetric anesthesia practice and discusses in detail serious medical problems during pregnancy. As such it is a valuable tool, providing targeted information particularly on the anesthetic considerations and management of not only non-obstetric diseases during pregnancy but also pregnancy- induced diseases.https://ecommons.aku.edu/books/1120/thumbnail.jp
How neuraxial labor analgesia differs by approach: dural puncture epidural as a novel option
No full textBackground and aimNeuraxial analgesia techniques are not limited to just standard epidural and CSE blocks.Anovel approach called dural puncture epidural (DPE) which is a modification of CSE in terms of practice has gained popularity after itsdescription and use in theobstetric population. The aim of this review is to address the practice of DPE technique as a novel option by reviewing its benefits as well as side and/or adverse effects and to understand how neuraxial labor analgesia differs by approach based on the information available in the current literatureDiscussionDespite controversies and concerns, morerapid onset of analgesia, early bilateral sacral analgesia,lower incidence of asymmetric block and fewer maternal and fetal side effects are provided with DPE when compared to epidural.ConclusionDPE offers a favorable risk-benefit ratio for management of neuraxial analgesia as a novel option
A Comparative Study on Nadine Gordimer's 'none To Accompany Me' and Its Turkish Translation in Terms of Postcolonial Themes and Language
No full textBu çalışmanın amacı Nadine Gordimer'ın Nobel Edebiyat Ödülü'nü aldıktan sonra yazdığı ilk romanı olan Yanımda Kimse Yok adlı eserinin Türkçeye çevirisini, biçem ve tema çerçevesinde incelemektir. Çalışmada Nadine Gordimer'ın tercih edilme sebebi, V. S. Naipaul, Chinua Achebe, Salman Rushdie gibi sömürgecilik sonrası dönemi ele alan birçok önemli yazarın dışında, Güney Afrikalı kadın bir yazarı incelemektir. Sömürgecilik sonrası dönemini yansıtan None To Accompany Me ve kitabın Türkçe çevirisi Yanımda Kimse Yok arasında çeviri üzerine yapılan bu nitel karşılaştırmada, koloni sonrası döneme ait temaların, dil ve biçemin hedef kültür olan Türkçe'ye aktarımının, Paul Bandia'nın üç katmanlı yaklaşımı ile incelenmesi uygun görülmüştür. Sömürge sonrası dönem eserlerinin dil, biçem ve içerdiği temalardan kaynaklı farklılıklarından ötürü, çevirmenin kullandığı çeviri stratejisi Paul Bandia'nın üç katmanlı çeviri yaklaşımı çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Bu yaklaşımın ilk basamağı Vinay and Darbalnet'in çeviri metodları, ikinci ve üçüncü basamağı ise Lawrence Venuti'nin yerlileştirme ve yabancılaştırma yaklaşımı açısından analiz edilmiştir. Genel olarak bu çalışmanın amacı, sömürgecilik sonrası metinlere özel olan biçem ve tema özelliklerinin hedef kültüre çeviribilim bağlamında aktarımını incelemektir.The aim of this study is to examine the translation of Turkish version of Nadine Gordimer's first novel None to Acoompany Me written after receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature within the framework of style, language and theme. The reason why Nadine Gordimer was preferred in this study is to examine a South African woman author other than many important authors in the postcolonial period such as V. S. Naipaul, Chinua Achebe and Salman Rushdie. As None to Accompany Me has specific cultural elements, linguistic structures and postcolonial themes that are intrinsic to the postcolonial period, it is conceded to benefit from two translational approaches and one translation method during the analysis of translator's translation strategy. Paul Bandia's tripartite or three-tier translation approach will be used as the main method and Lawrence Venuti's foreignization and domestication approach and Vinay and Darbalnet's translation procedures will be considered as supporting methods during the qualitative comparison of two books. The first translation step of Bandia's approach will be analyzed within the framework of Vinay and Darbalnet's methods and the second and third steps of translation process will be assessed in terms of Lawrence Venuti's foreignization and domestication approach. In general, the aim of this study is to examine the transfer of indigenous style and thematic features that are specific to the postcolonial texts to the target culture and language that is unfamiliar to postcolonial spirit
What Do Current Information and Evidence Suggest to Us for Oxytocin Use During Caesarean Section?
No full textOxytocin is the first-line agent in the prevention and treatment of uterine atony and maintenance of uterine tone. Since there are several different practices related to the use of oxytocin during caesarean sections, we would like to address the latest information and evidence for rational oxytocin use
