HBSAG, ANTI-HCV, ANTI-HIV 1/2, AND SYPHILIS SEROPREVALENCE IN BLOOD DONORS IN EASTERN MARMARA REGION, TURKEY AND AN OVERVIEW OF TRANSFUSION TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS IN TURKEY
No full textConclusion: The risk of transfusion-transmitted infections can be decreased by effectively using questionnaires and screening tests in blood donation centers, HBV vaccination programs, and awareness-raising activities. It is necessary to use improved screening methods for detection of transfusion-transmitted infection agents
Authorship in Cinema: Author & Reader
No full textThis study consists of an elaboration on authorship in cinema by employing the conceptions of the ‘author’ and the ‘reader’. Within the scope of this elaboration, for a better understanding of the ‘cinematic-author’, first, the literary origin of the concept of the ‘author’ will be examined. Then, ‘Who is an author in cinema?’ will be questioned both through the on-going debates about the conception and what the concept itself means to me. Finally, the focus of the study will shift to the concept of the ‘reader’ and its interdependent relationship with the concept of the ‘author’; and it will be stated that, unlike post-structuralist ideas, it is not necessary to kill the ‘author’ for the birth of the ‘reader’
Management of extravasation of oxaliplatin by mimicking its biotransformation
No full textAlthough oxaliplatin (Oxali) plays a key role in the treatment of many types of cancer and has been reported to be an irritant, there is no specific and effective method for its extravasation and failure in Oxali extravasation management results in the need for plastic surgery. In the body, Oxali bio-transforms upon dilution in chloride-containing buffer salts to its di-chloro derivative and loses an oxalate molecule. Consequently, the chloride ions exchange with water molecules in the intracellular environment to produce the di-aqua derivative, which is the most active biotransformation product of Oxali in terms of forming the DNA adducts. Thus, inhibiting transformation of di-chloro to di-aqua derivatives by accumulating chloride ions at the site of extravasation and saturating the Oxali molecule with these ions is a strategy that could help manage extravasation. Injecting normal saline at this site is a simple yet effective way to achieve this goal. © 2018, Federación de Sociedades Españolas de Oncología (FESEO)
A Realistic View on
No full textThe review paper entitled “The Essential Medicinal Chemistry of Curcumin”, published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, by Nelson et al. (1) is a well-designed paper, presenting a new (and negative) approach to the well-known biologically active compound; curcumin. Although some arguments throughout this paper are completely true, the approach of the authors is unfortunately far from impartial, and many of the conclusions the authors draw from some of their referred papers are especially hard to accept
Linguistic Reflections on Psychotherapy: Change in Usage of The First Person Pronoun in Information Structure Positions
No full textDemiray Koşe, Çiğdem (Arel Author)Aim of present study was to understand changes in speech of clients with regard to certain linguistic features from 5th to 15th session of psychotherapy. First person pronoun use in information structure positions were analyzed in speech of clients. Participants of this study were 11 psychotherapists (clinical psychology master and doctorate students) and 16 clients (applicants to AYNA Psychotherapy Unit). In present study word count results of clinets' speeches were analyzed by ANOVA method. According to results, use of first person pronoun changed significantly in preverbal position from 5th to 15th sessions of psychotherapy. Findings of this study suggest that, psychotherapy leads to certain linguistic changes, and these changes discussed to be means of understand change of clients during psychotherapy

No full textTez (doktora) - Anadolu ÜniversitesiAnadolu Üniversitesi, Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Basın ve Yayın Anabilim DalıKayıt no: 102816Bu araştırmanın amacı, kişilerarası iletişim sürecinde romantik eşlerarası iletişimötesi iletişim aktörlerini araştırmak olmakla birlikte, bu aktörlerin işlevsellik boyutunu incelemek ve analiz etmektir. Kişilerarası iletişim sürecinde romantik eşlerde iletişimötesi iletişim aktörlerinin kullanımının değerlendirilmesine dayanan bu çalışma, kişilerarası iletişimde yeni yaklaşımların aile sosyolojisi ve psikoloji alanlarıyla hem kuramsal hem de uygulamalı olarak bütünleştirilmesinde disiplinler arası bir niteliktedir. Mutlu ve uyumlu bir birliktelik her şeyden önce sağlıklı ve yeterli bir iletişim ve eşlerin bundan sağladıkları doyumla gerçekleşir. Evliliğin kalitesi ve uyumun artırılması konusundaki önemli noktalardan biri eşlerden her ikisini de hoşnut eden iletişim türleri ve düzeyi üzerinde eşlerin anlaşmaları fikir birliğine varmaları ve memnuniyet duymalarıdır (Şener ve Terzioğlu, 2008). İletişim düzeyinin önemli belirleyici faktörlerden biri olan iletişimötesi iletişimin bir amacı da; eşlere kendi ilişkilerinden sorumlu olmaya izin vererek ilişki kalitesini artırmak olacaktır. Mutlu birliktelik yaşamak isteyen insanları iletişimin bu özel tip süreçleri destekleyen bir bilgi alanı diğer tüm alanlarda da önemli olabilir. Bulgular ışığında, eşlerin iletişim kurarken iletişimötesi iletişim aktörlerini kullanmalarının romantik doyumları ile pozitif yönde bir ilişkisi olduğu söylenebilir
Temperature measurements in a capacitive system of deep loco-regional hyperthermia.
No full textHyperthermia has been shown to be a medically useful procedure applicable for different indications. For the connection between clinical effects and heat, it is important to understand the actual temperatures achieved in the tissue. There are limited temperature data available when using capacitive hyperthermia devices even though this is worldwide the most widespread method for loco-regional heating. Hence, this study examines temperature measurements using capacitive heating. Bioequivalent phantoms were used for the measurements, which, however, do not consider perfusion in live tissue. In general, the required temperature impact for an effective cancer therapy should need an increase of 0.2°C/min, which has been achieved. In the described tests on the non-perfused dummy, on average, the temperature increases by approximately 2°C in the first 12 min. The temperature difference relative to the starting temperature was 10-12°C within a therapy time of 60 min (rising from the initial room temperature between 20-24°C and 32-34°C). The average deviation with three individual measurements each on different days in a specified localization was 2°C. The minimum temperature difference was 4.2°C, and the maximum value was reached in the liver with 10.5°C. These values were achieved with a moderate energy input of 60-150 watts, with much higher performance outputs still available. These results show that the tested capacitive device is capable of achieving quick temperature increase with a sufficient impact into the depth of a body
