Relationship between the time dependent zeta potential of pure C3S phase and ıts setting behavior

Bu çalışmada, gerçek şartlar altında (su/çimento(w/c) oranı: 0.5) normal portland çimentosunun (PÇ) saf C3S(3CaO.2SiO ) klinker fazının zamana bağlı zeta potansiyel (ZP) ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Elde edilen ZP eğrileri, zamana bağlı olarak çimento pastasından çözeltiye geçen Ca 2 +2 iyon konsantrasyonu, zamana pH değişimi, zamana bağlı iletkenlik ölçümleri, vicat testi ve mikrokalorimetre ile hidratasyon ısısı verileri ışığında tartışılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, pratikte uygulanan w/c oranlarında çimentonun zamana bağlı zeta potansiyel (ZP) değişimi ile prizlenme davranışı arasında (özellikle priz başı süresi açısından) bir ilişki kurmak mümkün değildir. Çünkü belirli bir süreden sonra çimento pastasının katılaşması sebebiyle ZP ölçümü yapabilmek mümkün olmamıştır. Bununla beraber hidratasyon ısısı verileriyle zamana bağlı ZP verileri arasında zayıf da olsa bir ilişki mevcuttur.In this work, the zeta potential measurements (ZP) of pure clinker phase, C3S (3CaO.2SiO2), of ordinary portland cement (OPC) depending on time were carried out under the real conditions. That is, the used water/cement (w/c) ratio is 0.5 in this study and it is the same with the ratios used in the practical applications. The obtained ZP curves were discussed under the light of the time dependent calcium (Ca+2) concentration released into water from the solid phase, time dependent suspension pH, vicat test, and heat of hydratation by Microcalorimeter test results. As a result, the relationship between the time dependent ZP of C3S and its setting behavior, especially considering beginning and ending of setting times, is not possible under the real w/c ratios. This is because the ZP measurement of the C3S particle is impossible after a certain time due to solidifying. However, there is weak relation between the heat of hydratation and time-dependent ZP data.TÜBİTAK / 107M08

CT Findings of Patients with Small Bowel Obstruction due to Bezoar: A Descriptive Study

Purpose. The aim of this study was to present the computed tomography (CT) findings of bezoars that cause obstruction in the small bowel and to emphasize that some CT findings can be considered specific to some bezoar types. Materials and Methods. The records of 39 patients who underwent preoperative abdominal CT and subsequent operation with a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction due to bezoars were retrospectively analyzed. Results. In total, 56 bezoars were surgically removed from 39 patients. Bezoars were most commonly located in the jejunum (n=26/56, 46.4%). Sixteen (41.0%) patients had multiple bezoar locations in the gastrointestinal tract. Common CT findings in all patients were a mottled gas pattern and a focal ovoid or round intraluminal mass with regular margins and a heterogeneous internal structure. Furthermore, some CT findings were determined to be specific to bezoars caused by persimmons. Conclusions. Preoperative CT is valuable in patients admitted with signs of intestinal obstruction in geographic regions with a high bezoar prevalence. We believe that the correct diagnosis of bezoars and the identification of their number and location provide a great advantage for all physicians and surgeons. In addition, some types of bezoars have unique CT findings, and we believe that these findings may help to establish a diagnosis

The frequency of Duchenne muscular dystrophy/Becker muscular dystrophy and Pompe disease in children with isolated transaminase elevation: results from the observational VICTORIA study

IntroductionElevated transaminases and/or creatine phosphokinase can indicate underlying muscle disease. Therefore, this study aims to determine the frequency of Duchenne muscular dystrophy/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) in male children and Pompe disease (PD) in male and female children with isolated hypertransaminasemia.MethodsThis multi-center, prospective study enrolled patients aged 3–216 months with serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and/or aspartate transaminase (AST) levels >2× the upper limit of normal (ULN) for ≥3 months. Patients with a known history of liver or muscle disease or physical examination findings suggestive of liver disease were excluded. Patients were screened for creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) levels, and molecular genetic tests for DMD/BMD in male patients and enzyme analysis for PD in male and female patients with elevated CPK levels were performed. Genetic analyses confirmed PD. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of the patients were analyzed.ResultsOverall, 589 patients [66.8% male, mean age of 63.4 months (standard deviation: 60.5)] were included. In total, 251 patients (188 male and 63 female) had CPK levels above the ULN. Of the patients assessed, 47% (85/182) of male patients were diagnosed with DMD/BMD and 1% (3/228) of male and female patients were diagnosed with PD. The median ALT, AST, and CPK levels were statistically significantly higher, and the questioned neurological symptoms and previously unnoticed examination findings were more common in DMD/BMD patients than those without DMD/BMD or PD (p < 0.001).DiscussionQuestioning neurological symptoms, conducting a complete physical examination, and testing for CPK levels in patients with isolated hypertransaminasemia will prevent costly and time-consuming investigations for liver diseases and will lead to the diagnosis of occult neuromuscular diseases.

FUTBOLCULARDA SİNİR-KAS İLETİMİNİ KOLAYLAŞTIRICI GERME ÇALIŞMALARININ VURUŞ HIZI VE EKLEM HAREKET GENİŞLİĞİNE AKUT VE KRONİK ETKİLERİTaner AKBULUTBu araştırmada, genç futbolcularda, alt ekstremiteye uygulanan sinir-kas iletimini kolaylaştırıcı germe (PNF) egzersizlerinin topa vuruş hızı ve eklem hareket genişliğine olan akut ve kronik etkileri incelenmiştir.Araştırmaya, Kartal Belediyespor Kulübü’nden tesadüfî yöntemle seçilmiş, 24 lisanslı futbolcu katılmıştır. Gruplar PNF (n=12) ve kontrol (n=12) olarak ikiye ayrılmıştır. Araştırmada ön ve son testler uygulanmıştır. Ön testlerde antropometrik (boy, vücut ağırlığı) ve eklem hareket genişliği ölçümleri (ayak bileği plantar ve dorsal fleksiyon, kalçada aktif fleksiyon ve ekstansiyon) yapılmış; ayrıca katılımcıların farklı günlerde randomize olarak kas gevşet PNF germe (1 tekrarlı 10 sn statik germe, 6 sn’lik izometrik germe, 30 sn’lik statik germe) yaparak ve yapmadan vuruş hızları test edilmiştir. Gruplar, teknik ve taktik futbol antrenmanlarını haftada 3 gün (120 dakika/gün) birlikte uygulamışlardır. PNF grubu, sekiz hafta (2 gün/hafta, 20 dakika/gün) süresince ek germe antrenmanına katılmıştır. Kontrol grubu herhangi bir ek germe antrenmanı yapmamıştır. Tüm ölçümler 8 hafta sonra tekrarlanmıştır. PNF germe egzersizlerinin vuruş hızı performansında akut bir etki yaratmadığı belirlenmiştir (p>0,05). Kronik etki olarak PNF grubunun kontrol grubuna oranla vuruş hızı, sağ ayak bileği dorsal fleksiyon, kalçada aktif fleksiyon (sağ, sol) değerlerini anlamlı düzeyde arttırabildikleri belirlenmiştir (p0,05).PNF germe egzersizlerinin topa vuruş hızında akut etkisinin olmadığı, kronik olarak büyük ölçüde alt ekstremitedeki eklem hareket genişliklerini ve topa vuruş hızını geliştirdiği ortaya konmuştur. Sonuç olarak, ısınmada uyguladığımız PNF germe modelinin, topa vuruş hızını ve eklem hareket genişliklerini arttırmak için genç futbolcuların antrenmanlarında kullanılması önerilebilir.
