Türkiye'de farklı niteliklere sahip süt sığırı işletmelerinde mastitisin koruma ve kontrolü kapsamındaki bazı uygulamaların düzeyleri

Amaç: Sunulan çalışmada Türkiye’deki 177 küçük ve 169 büyük ölçeklisüt sığırı işletmesinde mastitisin koruma ve kontrolu?ne yönelik uygulamalar ve uygulanma düzeylerinin ortaya koyulması amaçlandı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kapsamda Türkiye’de farklı illerdeki toplam 346süt sığırı işletmesinden meme sağlığı ile ilgili verileri toplanarak istatistiksel açıdan incelendi.Bulgular: Büyük ölçekli işletmelerde en fazla 50-200 baş (n=96, %56,8ve en fazla Holştayn ırkı (n=97, %57,4)) ve küçük ölçekli işletmelerde iseen fazla 11-20 baş (n=71, %40,1 ve en fazla Simental ırkı (n=153, %86,4))arası inek olduğu, bu iki tip işletmede 4 yaşlı ineklerin daha fazla olduğu(sırasıyla, n=62, %36,7 ve n=93, %52,5) görülmüştür. Büyük işletmelerdeteat dipping (%70,4), kuru dönem antibiyotik (%72,8), teat seal(%9,5) vemastitis aşısı (%55,6) uygulamalarının küçük ölçekli işletmelerden dahayüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Büyük işletmelerde predipping (%59,2)ve postdipping uygulaması yapanların oranının (%67,5) yapmayanlardandaha fazla olduğu ve uygulamalarda en fazla iyotlu antiseptiklerin kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Küçük ölçekli işletmelerde sağım hijyeni uygulamayanların oranının (%61,6) fazla olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu iki tip işletmede günlük ortalama süt verimi üzerine işletme tipi (p<0,000) ve ırkın(p<0,001) etkisi istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunmuştur.Öneri: Sonuç olarak, Türkiye’deki süt sığırı işletmelerinde mastitisdenkoruma ve mastitisin kontrolu? amaçlı uygulanan yöntemlerin oranlarının,geçmiş yıllarla karşılaştırıldığında daha yüksek olduğu fakat istenen düzeylerde olmadığı tespit edilmiştir

Pulsed-wave Doppler ultrasonographical measurements of supra-mammary lymph nodes for diagnosis of bovine mastitis

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between mastitis and supramammary lymph nodes in lactating cows in terms of Pulsed-wave (PW) Doppler ultrasonographical measurements. A total of 102 head cows in lactation period were divided into three groups. The cows in which all mammary lobes were California mastitis test (CMT)-negative (n = 27) formed the 1st group; those with CMT-positive mammary lobe (n = 43) formed the 2nd group and the cows with clinical mastitis in at least one mammary lobe (n = 32) formed the 3rd group. In PW Doppler ultrasonography, end-diastolic velocity, systolic peak velocity and time-averaged maximum velocity were measured at the most prominent artery of the lymph node. A quantitative scaling was performed by determining the pulsatile index and resistance index scales based on blood flow parameters. There was no statistically significant difference between the study groups in terms of PW Doppler ultrasonographical measurements of supramammary lymph nodes. In conclusion, the use of PW Doppler ultrasonographic data of the supra-mammary lymph nodes will not provide useful information about the current condition of mastitis in cows. © 2022 Urmia University.

The relationship between mastitis and the B-mode, colour Doppler ultrasonography measurements of supramammary lymph nodes in cows

This research communication aims to test the hypothesis that B-Mode, colour Doppler ultrasonographic measurements and characteristics can identify mastitis in dairy cows. A total of 102 lactating cows were divided into 3 groups: cows in which all mammary quarters were CMT-negative, cows with CMT-positive mammary quarters and cows with clinical mastitis in at least one quarter. Colour Doppler ultrasonography measurements of the supramammary lymph nodes revealed that distortion-type vascular morphology, the rate of type 4 vascular densities and the incidence of mixed-type vascular distributions were highest in the clinical mastitis group, whereas the frequency of avascularity in supramammary lymph nodes was highest in the CMT-negative group. All differences were significant. In conclusion, the use of B-mode and colour Doppler ultrasonographic measurements of the supramammary lymph nodes can provide useful information about the current condition of mastitis in cows, although its diagnostic potential remains to be determined

Comparison of anterior cervical discectomy fusion techniques: Bladed and non bladed PEEK cages

WOS: 000379454800014PubMed ID: 27161468AIM: The aim of this study is to compare the different types of fusion materials known as PEEK cages used during anterior cervical discectomy (ACD) surgery. MATERIAL and METHODS: A total of 67 patients were operated and evaluated retrospectively under two groups (group A: 35 PEEK cage patients, group B: 32 bladed PEEK cage patients) between 2009 and 2013. Preoperative and postoperative (postoperative first day, postoperative 1st, 3rd and 12-24th mo) images were obtained. The cervical disc heights, cervical and segmental lordotic angles of the operated levels were calculated. Pain assessment was performed and fusion rates were also compared. Mann-Whitney U test was applied to compare the outcomes. RESULTS: The pain scores (especially for arm pain) were decreased significantly in both groups after surgery regardless of the type of operation technique (P0.05). In addition to these; there was no significant difference between both groups of segmental and cervical lordodic angles in postoperative periods (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the fusion rates and pain scores of both groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The PEEK cage and bladed PEEK cages can be used safely to obtain fusion after ACD

Echocardiographic reference ranges for normal cardiac Doppler data in healthy Turkish population: ECHO‐DOP‐TR Trial

Aim Doppler echocardiography has become the standard imaging modality for diastolic function and provides pathophysiological insight into systolic and diastolic heart failure. In this study, we aimed to obtain normal echocardiographic Doppler parameters of healthy Turkish population. Methods Among 31 collaborating institutions from all regions of Turkey, 1154 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. Predefined protocols were used for all participants during echocardiographic examination and The American Society of Echocardiography and European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging recommendations were used for echocardiographic Doppler measurements. Results A total of 967 healthy participants were enrolled in this study after applying exclusion criteria. Echocardiographic examination was obtained from all subjects following predefined protocols. Mitral E wave velocity andE/Aratio were higher in females and decreased progressively in advancing ages. E wave deceleration time and A wave velocity were increased with aging. Assessment of tissue Doppler velocities showed that left ventricular laterale ', septale ', and septals ' were higher in younger subjects and in females.E/e ' ratio was increased progressively with advancing decades. Right ventriculare ' ands ' were decreased buta ' was increased with increasing age. Septale ' lower than 8 cm/s was 1.9% in the fifth decade and 13.7% in ages older than 50 years. TheE/e ' ratio greater than 15 (and also 13) was not found. Conclusion This study, for the first time, provides echocardiographic reference ranges for normal cardiac Doppler data in healthy Turkish population which will be useful in routine clinical practice as well as in future clinical trials
