Varol, Fusun (Trakya Author)Macro Domain Containing 2 (MACRO D2) gene is a gene from macro family which is highly expressed in the ventriculer zone of the brain during embryonic development. Association between Autism spectrum disorders and MACRO D2 gene polymorphisms has been reported before [1] . Deletion in MACRO D2 gene has also been associated with Kabuki Syndrome which is a well described congential anomaly syndrome [2]
Perceptions of preoperative expectations and postoperative outcomes from orthognathic surgery: Part I: Turkish female patients
No full textThis Study was conducted in Turkish female patients to investigate their preoperative concerns, motivation, expectations, preoperative preparation for surgery and perception of outcomes concerning orthognathic surgery. Thirty women, with an age range of 18 to 31 years (mean age 21.8 +/- 3.8 years), participated in the study. The expectations and the results of orthognathic treatment were assessed based on the patients' Subjective appraisal. Patients completed questionnaires before and after the operations, designed to investigate the preoperative and postoperative psychological impact of the surgery, the perception of problems with physical and psychological functioning, self-image, body image and satisfaction with surgical outcome. The questionnaires were evaluated statistically with SPSS 11.5 for Windows. The patients' perception of their psychological improvement, faith in the surgical team, physical functioning, self-esteem, social confidence, body image and satisfaction after dentofacial correction were higher than the preoperative levels. The conclusions of the study support the theory that enhancement of facial appearance by orthognathic Surgery improves the psychological status of females with growth disturbances of the jaw
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Clinical and radiological evaluation of cherubism: a sporadic case report and review of the literature
No full textMany cases have been published on cherubism since Jones described it first time in three children of the same family [Am. J. Cancer 17 (1933) 946]. Cherubism is an autosomal-dominant disorder in which the normal bone is replaced by cellular fibrous tissue and immature bone. Extracranial skeletal involvement is rarely seen in hereditary and non-hereditary forms of the disorder. The mandible is the most severely affected craniofacial component, in which uncontrolled growth of the malady deteriorates the aesthetic balance of the face. Bilateral swelling of the cheeks, mandibular enlargement and maxillary spongious hypertrophy cause orbital manifestations and tendency of eyes looking up to the sky. Thus, the pathognomic clinical feature resembles the appearance of "raised to heaven" Renaissance cherubs. The sporadic case concerns a child affected by cherubism. Radiographic and clinical data of the patient are presented and brief review of the literature is included
Actinomycosis: report of a case with a persistent extraoral sinus tract
No full textCervicofacial actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative and granulomatous infection that may reside for years and recur with sudden onset. It is the second most common type of actinomycosis and could be caused by trauma or infection. We report a draining actinomycotic sinus tract with extraordinary thickness that occurred owing to a long-standing chronic periapical infection of an extracted upper left second premolar 3 years before.

Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia and hypophysial microadenoma with Hodgkin's lymphoma: Unusual involution of an extensive case
No full textSpecificity, Automatic Designation, and `I' Varol Akman and Aylin Koca
No full textThis paper studies the context-dependence of the first-person indexical `I,' while attempting to make the identifiabilitycriteria for specificity and Thus, Jrgensen (2000:146) notes that the term has been used to drawatleast four differentdistinctions:(i) whether the speaker believes the referenttobeunique# (ii) whether the speaker knows the identityofthe referent#(iii) whether the speaker wants to express a generalization, and(iv) whether the speaker believes the identityof the referenttobeimportant. It is known that several allegedly sound descriptions of specificitymentioned in the literature fail to be adequate on their own in covering all conditions of the notion. A prolific author contributing to recentliterature on specificity, von Heusinger (2002:2) explicates assorted characterizations of this notion.
