Astımlı Çocuklarda Serum Periostin ve Soluk Havasında Nitrik Oksit Düzeyi
No full textAmaç: Periostin, havayolu epitelinden ve akciğer fibroblastlarından, IL-4 ve IL-13 aracılığı ile salgılanan ekstrasellüler matriks proteinidir. Eozinofilik havayolu inflamasyonun göstergesi olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Çalışmada, astımlı çocuk hastalarda serum periostin düzeyinin değerlendirilmesi ve soluk havasında nitrik oksit (FeNO) düzeyleri ile korelasyonunun belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 7-17 yaş arası, 60 intermittan ve hafif persistan astımlı (29 allerjik, 31 allerjik olmayan) ve 30 sağlıklı kontrol, toplam 90 çocuk (45 kız, 45 erkek) dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik verileri, eozinofil yüzdesi, solunum fonksiyon testi, deri prik testi ve spesifik IgE düzeyleri kaydedildi. FeNO ve serum periostin düzeyi ölçüldü. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan tüm bireylerde serum periostin değerlerinin yaşla anlamlı korelasyonu olduğu ve yaşla birlikte azaldığı görüldü (6-12 yaş grubunda 59.0812.79 ng/dl, 13-18 yaş grubunda 46.1811.64 ng/dl, p0.001). Serum periostin düzeyi allerjik astımlı hastalarda 52.1013.93 ng/dl, allerjik olmayanlar da 54.6113.05 ng/dl olup anlamlı fark saptanmadı. FeNO değerleri hasta ve sağlıklı kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında farklı değildi (15.5 ppb ve 14.0 ppb, p0.486). Hasta grubunda sadece allerjik hastaların FeNO ve periostin değerleri arasındaki korelasyon değerlendirildiğinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlılık saptanmadı (r0.327, p0.077). Ayrıca, serum periostin düzeyi sadece polen duyarlılığı olan grupla karşılaştırıldığında polisensitize olan astımlı çocuklarda daha yüksekti ancak fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (58.215.1 ve 44.658.3, p0.065). Sonuç: Bu çalışma ile yeni biyobelirteç olan serum periostin düzeyi çocukluk çağındaki astımlı hastalarda değerlendirildi ve yaşla anlamlı korelasyonunun olduğu gösterildi. İntermittan ve hafif persistan astımlı hastalarda serum periostin düzeyinde anlamlı değişiklik saptanmadı. Çocukluk çağında orta ve ağır persistan astımda, serum periostin düzeyinin değerlendirilmesi için ayrıca çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.Objective: Periostin is an extracellular matrix protein secreted by airway epithelium and pulmonary fibroblasts. Periostin was shown to play a role in eosinophilic airway inflammation. This study evaluated the serum periostin levels and exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in children with asthma. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 children with intermittent and mild persistent asthma (29 of them were allergic, and 31 of them were nonallergic) and a control group comprising 30 healthy children, ages between 7 and 17 years, were included in the study. Demographic and clinical data of the patients were recorded. The levels of FeNO and serum periostin were measured. Results: The serum periostin level was significantly correlated with age (59.0812.79 ng/dL in 6–12 years and 46.18 11.64 ng/dL in 13–18 years, p0.001). No statistically significant difference was detected between the children with allergic and nonallergic asthma. The FeNO values were not different in the patient and the control groups. When the correlation between NO and periostin values of the only allergic patients was considered, no statistically significant difference was found (r 0.327, p0.077). Also, the serum periostin levels were higher in polysensitized children compared with only pollen sensitivity, but the “p” value was not at the significance level (58.215.1 and 44.658.3, p0.065).Conclusion: In this study, serum periostin level was evaluated as a biomarker in children with asthma and it was correlated with age. No significant difference was detected in the serum periostin level of children with intermittent and mild-persistent asthma. Further studies are needed to evaluate serum periostin levels in children with moderate and severe-persistent asthma
WHO Classification of Tumours: An Overview
No full textThe WHO classification of tumours includes a range of common and essential pathology that present as swellings or space-occupying lesions in the oral and maxillofacial regions. The terms neoplasia and tumour are sometimes used interchangeably and can cause some confusion to learners, particularly in their undergraduate degrees, and this is clarified in the chapter.
The pathogenesis of the oral and maxillofacial tumours included in the WHO classification of Head and Neck Tumours includes various processes, mainly reactive inflammatory, neoplastic, developmental, immune-mediated, and those with unknown aetiology but known pathogenesis such as metabolic or hormonal. The bulk of the tumours are either reactive inflammatory or neoplastic. Although the pathological basis of these tumours is described in more detail in other chapters as highlighted in the text, an overview of key tumours is presented in this chapter, putting them in the context of their pathogenesis within the WHO classification.Muhammed Yakin, and Richard Loga
Laparoskopik morbid obezite cerrahisinde rekruitment manevralarının peroperatif solunum mekanikleri ve postoperatif solunum fonksiyonları üzerine etkileri
No full textAmaç: Çalışmada laparoskopik morbid obezite cerrahisi uygulanan hastalarda peroperatif dönemde sürekli sabit pozitif ekspiryum sonu basıncı (PEEP) uygulaması ile sürekli sabit PEEP ile beraber insüflasyon sonrası aralıklı rekruitment manevrası uygulamasının arteriyel kangazı, spirometre, solunum fonksiyon testleri (SFT), postoperatif solunumsal komplikasyonlar ve hemodinamik parametreler üzerine etkilerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Genel anestezi altında laparoskopik morbid obezite cerrahisi geçirecek, Amerikan Anestezistler Birliği (ASA) 2-3 grubu, 20-60 yaş arası, VKİ>40 kg/m2 olan toplam 50 olgu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Prospektif planlanan çalışmada olgular randomize 2 gruba ayrıldı. Gruplarda solunum parametreleri tidal volüm 8 mL/kg, solunum frekansı 10-12 dk-1, PEEP 5 cmH20 olarak ayarlandı. Grup R olgularına insüflasyon sonrası; 10 cmH20 PEEP 3 soluk, 15 cmH2O PEEP 3 soluk, 20 cmH2O PEEP 10 soluk olacak şekilde kademeli olarak rekruitment manevrası uygulandı. Grup K hastalarına anestezi uygulaması boyunca sürekli sabit olarak 5 cmH2O PEEP uygulandı. Olguların hemodinamik verileri, spirometri değerleri, peroperatif ve postoperatif solunum fonksiyon testleri ve kan gazı değerleri kayıt altına alındı. Bulgular: Grup R’de; hastalarda postoperatif ölçülen parsiyel arteriyel oksijen basıncı (PaO2) ve kan oksijen doygunluğu (SpO2) değerlerindeki düşüşün Grup K'ya göre daha az olduğu, statik-dinamik kompliyans değerlerinin daha yüksek bulunduğu, P plato ve P tepe değerlerinin vaka boyunca daha düşük seyrettiği gözlenmiştir.İlk ve son ölçümler arasında P plato ve Ptepe değerleri arasındaki fark Grup R lehine anlamlı bulunmuştur. Solunum fonksiyon testlerinde (SFT) zorlu vital kapasite (FVC) değerlerinde, peroperatif değerlere göre anlamlı değişiklik bulunan olgu sayıları arasında, Grup R lehine anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Rekruitment manevralarının, hemodinamik ve solunumsal yan etkilere yol açmadan oksijenasyonu olumlu etkilediğini, SFT sonuçlarında anlamlı düzelme sağlayabildiğini ve intraoperatif akciğer basınç değerlerini daha iyi koruduğunu söyleyebiliriz. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına dayanarak laparoskopik morbid obezite cerrahisi sırasında hastalara uygulanan rekruitment manevrası’nın güvenli olarak kullanılabileceğini savunmaktayız.University of Health Science
Educational Cosmic Ray Arrays
No full textAbstract. In the last decade a great deal of interest has arisen in using sparse arrays of cosmic ray detectors located at schools as a means of doing both outreach and physics research. This approach has the unique advantage of involving grade school students in an actual ongoing experiment, rather then a simple teaching exercise, while at the same time providing researchers with the basic infrastructure for installation of cosmic ray detectors. A survey is made of projects in North America and Europe and in particular the ALTA experiment at the University of Alberta which was the first experiment operating under this paradigm
Macroinverfebrate Abundance and Production of Psammophifous Chironomidae in Shifting Sand Areas of a Lowland River
No full text Abundance and biomass of benthic macroinvertebrates from shifting sand areas in the bed of the Sand River in central Alberta, Canada, were examined for 1 yr. Macroinvertebrate density ranged from 12 000 to 78 000 individuals/m2, but total biomass was low (50–490 mg/m2 dry mass) due to the small size of most organisms. The interstitial larvae of two chironomid species (Robackia demeijerei and Rheosmittia sp.) contributed a mean of 80.6% biomass and 92.8% of total number of macroinvertebrates. Total annual secondary production of these two species (752.0 ± 144.5 mg∙m−2∙yr−1) was used as an estimate of total secondary production of benthic macroinvertebrates in shifting sand areas. Both R. demeijerei and Rheosmittia sp. exhibited larval growth and development rates much slower than those reported for comparably sized species in other habitats. Food or frequent disturbance may limit the growth of these species. Although unit area biomass and production were low relative to other lotie habitats, shifting sand areas make significant contributions to the river ecosystem because they occupy a large proportion of the river bed. </jats:p

Orofacial manifestations of systemic diseases: an overview
No full textDiseases and disorders presenting elsewhere in the body have long been known to produce signs and symptoms in the orofacial region. Skin and gastrointestinal disorders are the most common because of the unique interface of the mouth between the two systems. Mucosal inflammatory disease may also reflect infection and deficiency, and most major organ system impairments can present with signs and symptoms in the orofacial tissues. Systemic connective tissue disease may well present in the mouth and jaws. Appropriate blood and tissue sampling and analysis can help diagnose and manage disease
Small steps for the big hit: A dynamic capabilities perspective on business networks and non-disruptive digital technologies in SMEs
No full textData availability:
Data will be made available on request.Copyright © 2023 The Author(s). This study explores how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) build on business networks to develop dynamic capabilities that ultimately foster the adoption of non-disruptive digital technologies (DT). Multiple mediation analysis is used to test this relationship, drawing on cross-industry secondary data from 1470 British SMEs. The results reveal that SMEs rely on business networks to support non-disruptive DT adoption. This relationship is mediated by the parallel effects of three dynamic capabilities (HR, strategic planning, and marketing capabilities). However, the results do not hold for each domain-specific dynamic capability. The mediating effect is particularly driven by marketing capabilities, while HR capabilities negatively affect DT adoption. These findings highlight the underlying mechanisms by which SMEs can enhance their adoption of non-disruptive DT in their daily operations and processes, which have the potential to strengthen their value proposition
