Astronomide yaygin öğrenim arayişlari ve meyvesi beyaz cüce

Executing Expansive Learning, which means learning without any schedule, place or intructor, has confused every astronomers' mind. For us, as the students of different universities and perspectives, it was confusing how to share our knowledge and experience. The astronomy students who met at the 4th National Astronomy Student Congress in 2006, started a solution based on share of knowledge and experience. This report tells us the story of Beyaz Cüce workgroup which created as a result of sharing the knowledge and ideas.peer-reviewe

Epidemiology of surgery associated acute kidney injury (EPIS-AKI): a prospective international observational multi-center clinical study

Purpose: The incidence, patient features, risk factors and outcomes of surgery-associated postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) across different countries and health care systems is unclear. Methods: We conducted an international prospective, observational, multi-center study in 30 countries in patients undergoing major surgery (> 2-h duration and postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) or high dependency unit admission). The primary endpoint was the occurrence of PO-AKI within 72 h of surgery defined by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Secondary endpoints included PO-AKI severity and duration, use of renal replacement therapy (RRT), mortality, and ICU and hospital length of stay. Results: We studied 10,568 patients and 1945 (18.4%) developed PO-AKI (1236 (63.5%) KDIGO stage 1500 (25.7%) KDIGO stage 2209 (10.7%) KDIGO stage 3). In 33.8% PO-AKI was persistent, and 170/1945 (8.7%) of patients with PO-AKI received RRT in the ICU. Patients with PO-AKI had greater ICU (6.3% vs. 0.7%) and hospital (8.6% vs. 1.4%) mortality, and longer ICU (median 2 (Q1-Q3, 1-3) days vs. 3 (Q1-Q3, 1-6) days) and hospital length of stay (median 14 (Q1-Q3, 9-24) days vs. 10 (Q1-Q3, 7-17) days). Risk factors for PO-AKI included older age, comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease), type, duration and urgency of surgery as well as intraoperative vasopressors, and aminoglycosides administration. Conclusion: In a comprehensive multinational study, approximately one in five patients develop PO-AKI after major surgery. Increasing severity of PO-AKI is associated with a progressive increase in adverse outcomes. Our findings indicate that PO-AKI represents a significant burden for health care worldwide

The Effect of Inflammation and Blood Pressure Measurement on Health Related Quality of Life in Patients of Chronic Renal Replacement Therapy.

TEZ10418Tez (Uzmanlık) -- Çukurova Üniversitesi, Adana, 2013.Kaynakça (s. 62-73) var.ix, 74 s. : tablo ; 29 cm.Giriş ve Amaç: Son dönem böbrek yetersizliği (SDBY) nedeni ile takip edilen hasta sayısı tüm dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de her geçen gün artmaktadır. Hemodiyaliz (HD), periton diyalizi (PD) ve böbrek nakli (Rtx) ile tedavi edilen hastalarda yaşam kalitesi ile morbidite, mortalite arasında yakın bir ilişkinin olduğu gözlenmektedir. HD, PD, Rtx hastalarında mortalite ile ilişkili olan yaşam kalitesini etkileyen etmenlerin belirlenmesinin yaşam kalitesini daha iyi hale getireceği ön görülmektedir. Çalışmamızda; farklı renal replasman tedavisi alan SDBY hastalarında, renal replasman tedavi modalitesinin, inflamasyon belirteçlerinin, kan basıncı kontrolünün sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Çukurova Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Nefroloji Bilim Dalında tedavi edilen 16 hemodiyaliz ve 17 periton diyalizi hastası ve 27böbrek nakil hastası alınmıştır. Kontrol grubunu hipertansiyon ön tanısı ile Nefroloji polikliniğine başvuran 29 kişi oluşturmuştur. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim durumu, böbrek yetersizliği nedeni, diyaliz tedavi yöntemi (HD, PD), diyaliz tedavi süresi, böbrek nakli süresi, kullandıkları ilaçlar [antihipertansif (ACE inhibitörü, ARB, beta bloker, kalsiyum kanal blokeri, alfa bloker, diüretik), immunsupresifler ve diğerleri] ve fizik muayene bulguları kaydedildi. Yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi için tüm hastalar tarafından AKBM günü short form (SF-36) formu dolduruldu. AKBM oskillometrik tipte, model ve numarası Spacelabs Healt Care 2010 ref 90207-1Q, SN 207-063257 marka olan cihaz ile yapıldı. Moduler DPP cihazıyla, CRP Dode Behring II“ marka cihazla immünotürbimetrik yöntemle, ferritin, Roche Modüler sistem cihazla immünotubimetrik yöntem ile çalışıldı. Tam kan sayımı Beckman marka coulter cihazı ile çalışıldı. IL-6 ve IL-10 ölçümü ise ELISA yöntemi ile (DIAsource, Belçika) çalışıldı. Bulgular: Yaşam kalitesi alt birimleri puanları PD ve HD hastaları karşılaştırıldığında fiziksel fonksiyon puanı dışındaki tüm alt grup puanları HD hastalarında daha yüksek idi. HD hastaları ve Rtx hastalarının karşılaştırmasında ise yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinin tüm alt grup puanları Rtx hastalarında daha yüksekti ve ağrı, mental sağlık, sosyal fonksiyon, fiziksel fonksiyon alt birimlerindeki fark istatistiksel anlamlı idi. (p0,05) HD ve Rtx hastalarına bakıldığında ise DKB ve DKB yükü ölçümlerinde anlamlı farklılık yok iken diğer ölçümlerde ise istatistiksel anlamlı fark mevcuttu. (p0,05). In comparison between HD patients and RTx, all the measurements, except DBP and SBP loads, were statistically significantly different (p<0,05 for all). The measurements of BP were found to be higher in PD patients as compared with RTx (p<0,05). Systolic and diastolic BP loads were found to be higher in RTx as compared to controls (p<0,05). ESR and CRP were found to be lower in cases with RTx and controls as compared to PD patients and HD patients. We found a correlation between SF-36 QoL scores and IL-6, ESR, ferritin levels and co-morbid disease. However there was no correlation between BP and SF-36 scores. We found an increase in night-time BP load in all patients treated by renal replacement therapy. Interestingly daytime BP was found to be lower in RTx as compared to dialysis patients while night-time BP was higher than controls. Conclusion: We found an association between SF-36 scores and IL-6, ESR, ferritin levels and co-morbid diseases. There was no relation between BP and SF-36 scores. Night-time systolic and diastolic BP loads were found to be higher in cases treated by renal replacement therapy. Interestingly in RTx daytime systolic and diastolic blood pressures were lower than dialysis patients and similar controls but night time systolic and diastolic blood pressure and load of systolic and diastolic blood pressure were higher than controls. In contrast to the levels of ferritin, CRP and albumin, QoL were not correlated with the values of IL-6; IL-10 and biochemical parameters and the values of blood pressure. The modality of renal replacement therapy were important for better QoL. SF-36 scores in RTx were higher than that of dialysis patients.Bu çalışma Ç.Ü.

Use of Polyethylene Fiber (Ribbond) in Pediatric Dentistry

Polyethylene fiber (Ribbond) is a bondable, biocompatible, esthetic, translucent material. By virtue of its wide spectrum of intended properties, it enjoys various applications in clinical dentistry. Different clinical applications of Ribbond include space maintainers, fixed partial dentures with a natural tooth pontic, endodontic posts and cores and splint materials in children. Ribbond can be used as an alternative to conventional treatment in pediatric dentistry. [Arch Clin Exp Surg 2012; 1(2.000): 110-115

Morphological evidence for the potential protective effects of curcumin and Garcinia kola against diabetes in the rat hippocampus

This research article was published by Research Square, 2024This research investigated the effects of sciatic nerve transection and diabetes on the hippocampus, and the protective effects of Garcinia kola and curcumin. Thirty-five adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into five groups: a control group (Cont), a transected group (Sham group), a transected + diabetes mellitus group (DM), a transected + diabetes mellitus + Garcinia kola group (DM + GK), and a transected + DM + curcumin group (DM + Cur), each containing seven animals. The experimental diabetes model was created with the intraperitoneal injection of a single dose of streptozotocin. No procedure was applied to the Cont group, while sciatic nerve transection was performed on the other groups. Garcinia kola was administered to the rats in DM + GK, and curcumin to those in DM + Cur. Cardiac perfusion was performed at the end of the experimental period. Brain tissues were dissected for stereological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical evaluations. The volume ratios of hippocampal layers to the entire hippocampus volume were compared between the groups. Anti-S100, anti-caspase 3, and anti-SOX 2 antibodies were used for immunohistochemical analysis. No statistically significant difference was observed in the volume ratios of the four hippocampal layers. However, the volume ratio of the stratum lucidum was higher in the Sham, DM, and DM + Cur groups compared to the Cont group. While curcumin exhibited a protective effect on hippocampal tissue following diabetes induction, Garcinia kola had only a weak protective effect. Increased cell density and nuclear deterioration due to diabetes and nerve transection can be partially ameliorated by treatment with Garcinia kola and curcumi

A Case Report of Compound Odontoma Associated with an Unerupted Maxillary Central Incisor

Odontomas generally appear as small, solitary or multiple radio-opaque lesions found on routine radiographic examinations. Traditionally, odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumor and they are generally asymptomatic. Occasionally, odontomas may cause disturbances in the eruption of teeth, such as impaction, delay eruption or retention of primary teeth. In general, odontomas occur more often in the permanent dentition. This is a case report of a compound composite odontoma in an 8-year-old boy, which has resulted in failure of eruption of the permanent upper right central incisor while the contra-lateral tooth had erupted.
